yet another Elevator7009 alt, now to mod !automationgames@lemmy.zip
Rift Wizard!
Part of me is so pulled by games with customizable characters and good magic systems, but roguelike… oof. But it calls to my childhood self. Maybe I’ll watch a playthrough to try to see if it’s for me.
Props to your friend for making and finishing a game at all, let alone the reviews said one lots of people enjoy!
Nice to see devs on the Fediverse. Best wishes!
The only AAA games I’m looking at are ones released 5+ years in the past. Grabbed a lot more indies closer to launch. So glad Timberborn and shapez 2 made it here.
You did say “just right hand,” there was a thread before asking for one-handed games in general
!visualnovels@ani.social can help you out with way more visual novels. Including ones that do not have sex scenes or romance, counter to the stereotype of all VNs as sex games.
(and if you do want romance in your VNs, but from a female perspective, !otomegames@ani.social has you)
If you end up liking Crusader Kings 3 you might also like Crusader Kings 2
Big fan of idles and incrementals, you have inadvertently advertised PoE2 to me haha. Thanks for your thoughts and explanation!
Not a big ARPG person, just an onlooker. I searched “idol game mechanics” and “idol game mechanics ARPG” and got nothing, what is that?
Just checked the links, since you said you did not crosspost.
It’ll say it was crossposted if it is the same link, even if someone else posted it and it was years ago. This is not perfect of course, sometimes I have posted the same link in three relevant communities and you would think each post would have two links: one for each other community, but each post only has one link.
Clicked to ask if you crossposted to discounted game communities, was pleased to see I didn’t actually need to ask because you have already done that.

No, I mean a single game that is intended to be run while cycling, not the game + a separate cycling app. Think Pokémon GO but with this game and cycling instead of walking.
Clicked hoping for train game, instead found horror biking game.
Pedal through the fog, but never look back.Trapped in a constantly shifting horror, you must ride, conserve your phone’s battery, and decode cryptic messages to escape. Explore, survive, uncover the truth.
—Steam description, link here.
I remember there being some game on iPhone with a title like “Zombies, run!” where they somehow locked progress behind real-life running—that was the whole point of the game, to get you to work out in real life. I think it’d be cool if: if this game succeeds, if a spinoff or adaptation where your progress is locked behind real-world biking was released.
I love when game developers think of unintended things players might do and implement responses accordingly. Warning for TVTropes link.
then explode a series of bombs across them
Have not played The Sims in a hot minute, is this a mod? I don’t remember being able to do this.
I get the tone is jokey but I wasn’t sure if that was a hypothetical alternate universe proposition with a different Will Wright, or something that happened in real life, so I looked up the wildfire thing.
Wright’s house was caught in the Oakland Hills firestorm.
Rebuilding his life, and having to reacquire so many of his basic possessions, fed into the idea for The Sims.
Yep, real life and not just hypothetical, ouch.
Windows 11 -> Linux just for gaming and I am satisfied!
However, I also do not play things with big graphics requirements, kernel-level anticheat, and I do not have any fancy GPUs like Nvidia that make things incompatible. I transitioned on a laptop. So YMMV.
were the big yellow skips (don’t know what Americans call them)
American here! I was reading your first comment, and I was mildly curious what a “skip” is. I guessed “school bus” and oh wow was I wrong. But hey, still a (probably?) public-funded vehicle that’s bigger than a normal car and thus something my 5-year old self thought would be fun to drive.
Differences in uses of the English language in primarily English-speaking countries are always fun, I 100% agree with your point about clarifying. Thanks for explaining nicely to the person above :) I’ve seen a glut of people just being nasty on Lemmy recently so I’m especially happy to see people interacting civilly when some would have gone on an insult spree.

There’s a wonderful contrarian-but-is-it-really-considering-it’s-making-the-lawful-choice delight in trying to follow the rules in a game about breaking rules.
No-commentary video of someone just driving in GTA trying to follow the rules of the road. I’m usually really not a video person, but just watching this feels nice somehow.
For curious onlookers like myself out of the loop, this is Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. Best wishes OP
