• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many games do you manage to play at the same time?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I often get game choice paralysis, so I have extensively categorized my game library to help with both decision making, but also time management. I use numbers to force my categories to sort in the order I want rather than alphabetically by category name.

  Also worth noting I only started doing this after I stopped playing an MMO and reclaimed whatever % of my life.

  First is my “currently playing” category. This contains roughly one game from each other category/genre.

  • A story driven RPG (Witcher 3 at the moment, the Metro series after)
  • A rhythm game (McOsu, an Osu mod)
  • An optimization/building game (Shapez 2 but maybe back to factorio soon)
  • An action rougelike (going back to Hades before Hades 2)
  • A deck builder (currently MTGA, but my group really wants to ditch WotC)
  • A puzzle game (probably Blue Prince once it comes out)
  • A dedicated indie game spot (the Cairn demo)
  • A few other odd games that I like having quick access to because I like them

  There is sort of a secret bonus game to this section, but it also sits outside of this system entirely, because I will ALWAYS go back to it. And that’s the “block game” category. For a long time this was various flavors of modded Minecraft, but I’m so fed up with Microsoft enshitifying my baby that I’ve jumped ship. I’m playing Vintage Story (also heavily modded) and it’s just a better game top to bottom in my opinion.

  Then there is an “Interesred” category for games I’ve either been told I should try and also think I might enjoy. I try to keep this small, following roughly a similar “one per genre” as the previous category. I honestly don’t really touch these much, it’s more there for when a spot is freed up in the “currently playing” section. This is also where demos for unreleased games go.

  Then there is a “favorite” and “liked” category which largely contain games I’ve played before or are intentionally hyper replayable. This has a lot of my favorite puzzle games, a lot of the various rogue likes with a different game as the core mechanic (think peglin and ballionaire) stuff like that. Basically things to sift through if none of my current games are sparking an interest.

  After this is just genre categories used for storage essentially so I can collapse them and not be sick scrolling the whole list.

  I have a decent amount of time to game, but also work a very physical job, so I need to be very into a game to prioritize it over sleeping and such.

  I recently went through getting it to run on Linux. It’s one of the only Bungie games I haven’t played. Shockingly in depth combat, I’m enjoying it, but I’m bad at combo based fighting games, so I’m playing it in very bite sized pieces.

  I love their YouTube videos! Had no idea this was in the works though. Thanks for posting!

  I finally kicked my Destiny 2 habit by installing Linux, and while I absolutely miss the gameplay and my team, I haven’t really looked back. I’m involved and interested in so many other things now. I still see the odd post that gives ma a pang of FOMO, but the thought of booting into my windows install makes me want to peel my skin off with tweezers.

  Not an MMORPG by any means, but I’ve been really enjoying a “Minecraft like” called Vintage Story that is giving me the same feeling. The commodification of Minecraft has finally frustrated me enough and I’m jumping ship.

  Came here to say Roboquest. Replaced Destiny 2 for me when I finally ditched windows for Linux.

  Obligatory, and please please take this as the most silly of jokes: pushes up glasses UUUMMMMM akchually WINE is a compatibility layer, not an emulator, its name literally stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator.

  Again, it’s just kind of a running bit in the Wine community. The same thing is right at the top of the projects home page if my memory serves, and it is definitely easier to refer to it as an emulator. “Compatibility layer” just doesn’t have the same ring to it lol

  Unrelated, but we have a near identical feed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve stopped playing since Microsoft copilot was announced and I fully ditched windows, but I held on until the final raid because of the gun play, nostalgia, and the representation present in both the studio and the game. I grew up with the Marathon games, and the early Halo series. The DNA of those games is still there and I can’t help but love it. I’ve been chasing a single player experience that gets even close to Destiny’s feel for so long. The System Shock remake is getting close, but I would love a PvE only game from Bungie. For a long time (read pre-Sony-buyout) Bungie was also a sort of hold out for various minority representations I try to support. The studio’s media showed an employee base that is diverse and they often did a good job pushing back against players saying any sort of agenda was being pushed just for including diversity in the game. This made them a company I was much more willing to throw money at, compared to say, activision/blizzard. That sentiment as largely faded for me as the studio had been turned into a “for the shareholders” cow Sony can milk.

  I appreciate it!! I realize it’s a pretty niche request, made mostly selfishly, but it’s very fun for me!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 41 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Sea of Thieves)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been really enjoying Shapez2 after getting back into Factorio in preparation for the Shapez2 release. In the end very similar, but I’d say Shapez is like creative mode of factorio and doesn’t have any blatant colonialism lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 41 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Sea of Thieves)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is really random, but could you go back to omitting the title of the game from the title of the post? I’m possibly the only one, but guessing the game before looking at the post text has become a sort of daily game for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was just recommended a video about this game earlier today. I had already opened this thread, but had not read everything yet. I’m taking it as a sign. Terrafirmacraft is one of my fav Minecraft modpacks, and Vintage Story looked to lean into what TFC was trying to do to Minecraft. Cheers for the recommendation!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Longlegs’ Becomes the Highest-Grossing Indie Horror Film of the Last 10 Years⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not going to lie I found it to be quite mid. I’m sort of tough to please when it comes to horror, especially supernatural horror, so take that with a big grain of salt. From a technical stance it is a fantastic piece of cinema, the filming itself, the sound design, the pacing, like it’s there, but I found the plot lacking in ways I won’t explain due to spoilers. I’d say it’s worth seeing on the big screen, and I’m so glad the crew is seeing such big success from the film, but it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me.
