Same, started playing with a friend and now I'm back on the Stardew grind in singleplayer too. Doing a challenge run where I try to complete the community center without ever buying from Pierre (except for the backpack upgrades) or Joja, and without ever going in the mines. The real blocker on this is quartz. My only route to obtain it is fiddling in peoples' trash and it is a rare drop.

I have seen Noita recommended so many times for deep/complex games or games with a cool magic system.

I have also never fired and bought it because I don't tend to like roguelikes and I hear it can be very frustrating, though some mods help with that. Not sure if I should buy.

(Or I could just see if a friend would let me try theirs first :P)

I watched a quick trailer for Workers and Resources and the part focusing on a bus driving made me think of a head-in-the-clouds fantasy cool thing:

a city builder game. Click on a truck driving through to switch to a driving sim (think American/Euro Truck Simulator), on a train to a train sim, on a bus to a bus sim… Click on a person walking on the street and you get a The Sims-like interface and get the ability to switch into that game mode. And even though this is probably highly unrealistic and already too much, so why am I even thinking about scope, you could limit scope by locking to just this one city. Any vehicle routes out of the city have the vehicle disappear when you get to the city border. Sims already limited itself to one town/city, do that the same way.

After reading a few reviews for W&R apparently it scratches both a Transport Tycoon-type itch and regular city builder itches, so sort of like my above idea—a few games in one. Apparently it can be micromanagey, which appeals to me when I'm in a certain kind of mood.

Reviews for Skylines 2 are Mixed, which suggests you should play Manor Lords (Very Positive).

I just played some Stardew multiplayer with a friend. First time I have broken out the game in about a year, and what with 1.6 being newly out, now I feel like playing singleplayer…

Also multiplayer Minecraft with friends.

When I was a kid, I played so many more games on my own initiative. Now that I'm older I seem to need to be incentivized to play a game by "your friend is playing this game!" But that does set me in more of a gaming mood afterwards…

Was free on Epic awhile back, check to make sure you didn't get it there already

I remember someone being named Connor, a fandom on tumblr, and robots.

Is anyone named Detroit and does anyone become human?

Various incremental/idle browser games that are truly free. Kittens Game is pretty good. It also has a mobile app (Android link) (iOS link) which you pay once upfront for. The Shark Game is also pretty cute.

Just found @incremental_games@incremental.social

Any time anyone ever says War Thunder all I can think of is people leaking military information on the game forums.

• Classified Challenger tank specs leaked online for videogame (1st time)
• Classified tank specs leaked on War Thunder game forums – again (2nd time)
• War Thunder Forums Have, For the Third Time, Been Used to Leak Classified Military Intel (3rd time)
• War Thunder players leak military documents on forums, again (9th time)
• Military secrets leaked on ‘War Thunder’ forums yet again (12th time)
• For 13th time, sensitive military information leaked on ‘War Thunder’
• Sensitive documents showed up on War Thunder forums. Again. (14th time)

May or may not come back and edit with more links for the other times

Waiting for it to leave Early Access :( the concept is so cool, casting one of nature's builders as the characters in a city builder…

Now I am thinking about a city hive-builder. Would make bee fans happy.

Shop Fodder. Warning for TVTropes link.

Being charitable, no deadline + they chose to write this for fun so it's a passion project as opposed to an "ugh another thing I have to do for work I guess" project.

There was an r/hobbydrama post on her awhile back that I copied to lemmy.world.

I actually did use sub.rehab when first coming here, although it may not be obvious by my account history because this is a third account (migrated from kbin.social to kbin.cafe to help out with decentralization/not overloading the big server, now I'm on kbin.run because the instance owner of kbin.cafe disappeared). Searching again today gives only a Squabble link when I look for r/rabbits or r/bunnies alternatives. I can do nothing to fix this because submitting links is currently disabled.

This is the first I'm hearing about Lemmy Explorer, possibly because I'm a Kbin (well, now Mbin, a Kbin fork, because my instance owner swapped to that. Currently trying to find a small instance with an active owner that still runs Kbin, so not the big flagship kbin.social) user. Thank you for sharing.

Is the rabbit group lemmy.world/c/rabbits? I was totally unaware that existed until another commenter pointed it out.

And thanks for clarifying!

Not sure if this is a joke or a legitimate question. I'm on a Kbin fork, not Lemmy, so not sure if you get the rabbit preview picture.

If it was a legit question… it's the "boring fur balls". If it was Playboy Bunnies there'd probably be a lot more stuff about "sexy" and "lady" or "woman" in my description, and nothing about "owners" because I'm not sure Playboy goes to that level of kink. Wouldn't actually know, I'm a woman with no sexual interest in other women, so I've never looked.

Sounds good, only trouble is I'm not a mod.

I like visual novels because of how I can change the story with different choices. This isn't much gameplay but it is still interactive and a lot easier to do with a computer than with manually flipping between pages in a Choose Your Own Adventure book.

Now, kinetic novels, where you do not change anything significant in the story with your choices, those I agree with OP's sentiment. Some people like them and that's totally fine, but I personally don't see the appeal. Maybe it's getting exposure to stories from people who had an idea but not a high enough budget for a movie?

Yeah, it’s probably correct in your language. Just want to clarify that in English we don’t just treat it as an error, it’s flat-out wrong to do that in English.

Similarly, we also do not capitalize “Your” unless it is the first word in a sentence.

You made a typo: “Altough” instead of “Although”. You’re also missing a space after the period in “plots.Note”.

“You” should not be capitalized unless it is the first word in the sentence. You have it capitalized inappropriately in several places on the itch.io page. Your typos and your consistent English mistake with “you” makes me think there might be other English errors in the game. This is a text-based game, where I will spend most of my time reading. I don’t want to spend my time reading things that have lots of English errors. And I don’t think I’m the only potential player who decides not to play because of your English mistakes. I didn’t comb through your post specifically looking for errors to pick on, I honestly just noticed them without trying to and found them distracting and annoying. I’m human, I make mistakes and typos too, but I’m also not promoting a game whose gameplay involves lots of reading.

I don’t want to be mean, but you did ask for feedback so I feel it’s appropriate to share this. I do love the concept of playing as a villain protagonist, it’s what made me click on your post in the first place.
