Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

Factorio. It plays on my 2016 laptop and my steam deck pretty nicely.
Emulators for any game console from before the 3D era. NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis would all be good candidates. You’ll have a ton of good games you can play any time.
You’ll need to specify what genres and game styles you like.
I mostly play open world games like just cause 2, GTA VC, and total overdose. I have also tried bully in past. Moreover i have played NFS MW, and moto gp2

I think let’s game it out did one of his satisfactory abominations on gforce now, seemed pretty good from the video (could have been someone else like imkibitz/kibitz but iirc it was lgio)
