I’ve been playing QuakeWorld for a few months, and I started playing EverQuest on Project Quarm. Been kinda wild playing EQ to see how the MMO genre has evolved over time. Only level like 8 or 9, but it’s been fun.
I was playing AC Valhalla and Jedi Survivor, but then my game pass expired and I didn’t like the games enough to renew it. So now I’m back to Red Dead Redemption 2.
Hey, mod here. Guilty as charged, I honestly haven’t played much in months so it’s been hard to come up with good posts. I do read everyone else’s posts though, but not every day. I’ll try to comment more frequently and check in more often too.
As for the monthly games thread, that’s been the other mod, I’ve been patiently waiting for a new post for a while but haven’t seen one from him. I might take over that duty if the most recent post hits 3 months without update.
If there’s anything you’d like from this sub I’d love to hear it!
I really liked the “Essential Games List” on Reddit, maybe we could do something similar? Or maybe best recently patient games? (games that are 1-2 years old)
Basically, I come here for game recommendations, so I’d really like a rotating rec list. Once/year would be plenty for me, since I just throw them on a wishlist and pick them up when I need games to play.
I didn’t know DayZ had PvE servers. I like to watch DayZ streamers sometimes, but I could never play it PvP. That kind of thing is too stressful for me. I might have to check out PvE.
Automation games and never played Factorio???
Screw the DLC (for now), you need to get started with Factorio ASAP. I started with Factorio in 2017 after I mentioned to a coworker that I liked Minecraft with mods that allowed for automation such as Industrialcraft, Buildcraft, and Immersive Engineering. I have played some Create, but when I did I found that it wasn’t mature enough as a mod.
The DLC is mostly aimed towards end-game stuff. Whereas the base game is completed once your factory has launched a rocket with a satellite on board, the DLC picks up from there, allowing you to build automated space platforms, visit other planets each with their distinct differences.
Jumping on this to second it and also be shamelessly elitist. Factorio is the automation game. Nothing tops it. You may think other games look more beautiful, exciting, or engaging, but they are not. Factorio is also one of the cheaper automation games out there with one of the best developers in the industry. Definitely give it a go!
Well I caved and started a new Minecraft world, but I’m not sure I like my seed. Playing the original Moving Out with my kindergartner and he’s surprising good at it.
I’m playing “curse of the dead gods” right now. I wanted to scratch that hades itch while hades 2 is cooking. Pretty good, different, more random approach to the weapons system.
and a very invasive mechanic around lighting the rooms with a torch and immobile fireplaces. By default you get hit harder in the dark but there are also modifiers to give you benefits in the dark to change up the tradeoffs
I’m not sure I like it as much as Hades it’s a bit clunky but I’d recommend getting it in a sale for sure
To me it feels like a big drop in activity on Lemmy over the past 6 months? So the weekly and monthly post are being forgotten and some are letting standards slip.
The HDD in my Xbox One S was starting to die so I decided to swap it for an SSD. Surprisingly easy to do with just a torx screwdriver and a spudger. So now I’m starting Red Dead Redemption again as I got so close to completion but didn’t quite finish the story.

Number of active users is more or less stable, but it definitely feels like some people left (at least temporarily) indeed.
Finally got around to playing Oxenfree II after finishing Dave The Diver. Slow progress as I’m getting distracted left and right and center by other games, but I like how they kept the semi-creepy atmosphere from Oxenfree. Really neat presentation, and I love the voice actress for Riley, she did great work.
Just wish the game had more characters than me and my sidekick, atl east so far.
I’ve been playing Metroid Prime 3 and largely enjoying it. The most recent boss fight was incredibly fun and refreshing, easily the best in the game and high in the rankings for best boss fight period.

Looks like it’s on you now.
Finishing up AC: Brotherhood and looking for some cool indies. I’ve got a few in my library, but I’m open to trying something new.

That’s a great idea. I’m definitely going to look into doing that essential games list.
As for the recently patient games, I just made a post about that last night! It seems to be well received.
Hello,
Good to see you are still around!
Playing DayZ on a PvE server with my FIL. It’s very comfy.
I didn’t know DayZ had PvE servers. I like to watch DayZ streamers sometimes, but I could never play it PvP. That kind of thing is too stressful for me. I might have to check out PvE.
It’s fun times. Everybody helps each other out, there’s trading, events etc.
theyre just being extra patient
Shouldn’t we just keep waiting patiently?
This is a trial of our faith. Our patience will truly be tested.
I think we should create an “Impatient Gamers” community and send OP to that one (evil emoji).
Never noticed until you asked, but yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen such a thread in ages.
I put Factorio on hold for now, as I’m waiting for the DLC. In the meantime I’m playing Project Zomboid with a few friends.
Mind selling me on the dlc? Never played factorio but I am susceptible to automation games. Currently on minecraft create mod and shapez.

Thanks for the Moving Out tip! I’m always looking for couch co-op stuff to play with my daughter, and this looks right up our alley.
It’s on crazy sale on the Nintendo e-store right now, maybe other platforms, too.

I’m back into Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It’s whipping my ass.
I’ve played off and on for years and don’t think I’ve ever made it past level 20. I have no idea why I’m so terrible

Maybe people are just taking vacation.
