Keep that space free so the disk can work properly… Unless you want it to fail and buy at current prices.

Please do NOT fill that space!
Any kind of flash/SSD storage requires free space to do wear leveling and disk management. If you fill one of these disks completely, they will wear out very quickly and then you are left with a broken console in need of an SSD replacement.
You should leave at least 20GB free, also so that there’s space to download update files.

For best performance and longevity of the drive, leave some space free. At least having 10gb free would be good idea. Why not delete some games you are currently not playing? I mean its not like you are playing 50 games at the same time right now. What’s the point of filling the space completely out?

Well I explained it. You can do whatever you want, I just explained that leaving space is good advice. If drives do not have enough space to operate the data freely, that will cause the drive to fail quicker. And deleting a game would make sure you have plenty of space left for the operating system and drive to operate in a safe and optimal way. This will ensure the performance stays good and that the drive does not wear down as quickly. That’s why it’s a problem.

Starsector.
I see you like space games and Rimworld, so I suspect you will love Starsector.

ROMs are your best bet for more play with less storage required. Older games are insanely small by today’s standard, often coming in at under a single 600MB disc in size, but console games blow even that out of the water. N64 games are tens of megs, while earlier platforms are only a couple of megs a piece.
PlayStation games are all around that 6-700MB per disc and some games are multiple discs, but that is still way less than the size of modern games. Also a lot of them can play fairly well from a high compression format like 7z, so you can store then compressed.
Also, some games that are older have newer open source engines which can really breathe new life into them. My first example would be OpenMW for Morrowind, but DevilutionX is another great example. Trying to get Diablo running in modern hardware is entirely possible, but the resolution is very limited and it is super clunky. DevilutionX has more options and it is a much more enjoyable experience.
Also, Creeper World 3. I have put 50 full days of my life into that game and regret nothing.

Uhhh, leave that space until there’s something you want?
Like next month when a new game comes out that you want you won’t have space for it. Or like when the summer sale hits and you pick up a few old games. You’ll have to delete something to make space.
You said people ask what games you play, and then you posted a list of your installed games. Have you played them all? Which games did you like the most?

Install a 1gb game 20 times.
MarauderIIC@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
I see you have Satisfactory. You could put Factorio on it and still have 10-20gb of play space. It has controller support but I haven’t tried it on controller

Fair! It’s definitely not for everyone

Oxygen Not Included is a great colony-builder, personally I like it a bit more than rimworld but also that’s because I played it first.
Also maybe Kerbal Space Program and Stormworks if you like vehicle building. Stormworks has a bit of a learning brick wall but it is fun. It’s marketed as more of a search and rescue kind of game, and there is some fun that can be had doing that but it’s mostly a vehicle builder.

Brooo, Kenshi alone would have me entertained for DAYS. I wouldn’t have any need for so many games on my deck.

Oh, cool, I’ve never heard of that. Thanks for the recommendation! :D

EMUUROM is less than 4 MiB in size.

Sparklite is 1.5GB and was on sale for $3 when I dropped it in the other thread.
Winter Burrow is excellent as well. But it is 10GB. There is a free demo though!

Will suggest Star of Providence or Kill the Crows, and not responding when you don’t like someone’s comment. People are just tiresome at times, you can’t harsh it out of em.

Why do you even keep so many games installed? Do you really play all of that?

Try path of achra if you are into classic turn-based roguelike, this been my commute game for quite a while.
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You’ll probably want to keep 20% of your drive free for performance reasons, honestly. So if you need anything else on there, make it small.
