I end up resubbing every few years and just spin something cool endlessly, or get caught in WIS (RIP), or the ship map thing, or the exoplanet research project (RIP). I was really pissed the last time though at how expensive it has become. And I didn’t like the covid research minigame.
i don’t think so, but you can either entirely disable it, or make them passive, or tune it to your liking; there’s tons of customizability in the difficulty!
it’s honestly some pretty smart design in how they handled it! you should give it a try, see if you like it!
one little beginners tip that’s kinda important: they always choose the shortest path to your base (so pretty much any structure you build) and they attack based on your power consumption! (there’s a little widget that tells you when a wave is coming)
The day I quit that shit, such a huge burden lifted off my shoulders. I felt the same with Ragnarok Online before that and a stupid gacha a couple years after WoW. But nothing was as strong as the WoW quitting experience. No more chasing that rare spawn. No more soloing the old raids weekly on multiple characters in an attempt to get that 1% drop mount or a missing transmog piece. No more dailies. No more arena/bg capping. No more stupid farm. No more relisting AH items every hour to undercut competition during sleep hours. No more gearing Alts so they can join main raids in case one is needed.
The only thing I miss is the gruesome rigor in our attempts to get realm first on an insignificant, casual pvp server, just to stay in top1000. 5/7 raid nights. 6PM to drop dead. But lots of booze and banter on TS. Fun times.
Yeah I just wish the lemmy ONI community was a bit more active. I should be above 2K hours in now too, and I haven’t won yet. My current run I’m trying to get up to 20 dupes while also trying my first attempt at something magma power.
I tell people it’s the funnest game you’ll ever hate. It’s cathartic as hell when everything is running smoothly, but it just takes one little bump to throw everything off.
I can see every single example taking that much time, but Skyrim? Is there really 3000h+ worth of content in that game that doesn’t get boring after first time you do it?
I feel like you need to be introduced to mods. There are…a lot. Even if you keep it to just relatively high quality ones that add content (rather than mechanical overhauls or graphical overhauls), there are still a lot.
I’d suggest Falskaar, Wyrmstooth, The Hanging Gardens, The Maelstrom and vicn’s mods (Vigilant, Glenmoril and Unslaad) as a starting point.
Actually, that’s not true, I’d recommend Legacy of the Dragonborn as a starting point, then grab mods that require it and mods that require those until you have all the content mods that can have displays in the museum (which includes all the ones I mentioned before, but is not limited to them).
I want to like Rimworld so much, but without mods it’s unplayable, and with them the game stops being fun. Rimworld misses something, I I can’t put my finger on it.

EVE Online
I just started playing again after 9 years 😐
Miss the pain?

every single souls-like
Factorio
Dyson sphere program
*They’re the same picture
(the dark fog update is seriously sick tho)
I haven’t played since before the update. It’s cool? I was worried it would take away from the main fun of the game. Is this not the case?

I tried to like it. There’s this… sucky element about it. Can’t put my finger on it…
I can’t believe nobody said Path of Exile
The
How has no one said WoW, so much time lost
Is the time really lost if you got a ballin new mount and ledendary weapons and have perfected your spe- yeah i should go touch grass :/

It’s not a game, it’s a lifestyle.
I’ve put in over 2,700 hours into Oxygen Not Included, so that’s my vote.
Edit: Oh dip, I just looked it up and I’m slightly over 2,800 now :/
Just finished Home Sweet Home an hour ago. 😎
Yes! Chemistry industry mod added so much.
Wish rocketry didn’t suck.
Yeah I just wish the lemmy ONI community was a bit more active. I should be above 2K hours in now too, and I haven’t won yet. My current run I’m trying to get up to 20 dupes while also trying my first attempt at something magma power.
Longest I’ve ever gotten was 1114 cycles, and I haven’t won yet either. You don’t win, you just do better each time…
This was unexpected and fantastic, what a game
I tell people it’s the funnest game you’ll ever hate. It’s cathartic as hell when everything is running smoothly, but it just takes one little bump to throw everything off.
I put 200+ hours in on my steam deck… originally I was looking g for a fallout shelter type game, but more depth, I had no idea what I was in for
the one that makes you forget how the sun looks like
Protip: do not look at the sun to discern it’s shape.
It’s just sort of this black splotch that never goes away… Saved you guys some time.
Rimworld, Runescape, EVE, Factorio, Gmod, VR chat, Skyrim Modding, working with Lua, installing linux… wait…
Tbf though, after Planetside broke the record for largest in-game battle, I’ve never been able to switch to a new “fps mmorpg”.
Edit: I just want throw this old clip out there:

God I miss planetside

Look, those raiders aren’t gonna turn themselves into hats.

I agree to some degree but I do think the core game is solid but mods absolutely add a whole different (better) experience.
