Stardew Valley is a good one, but I definately wouldn’t consider Terraria casual or low-stress.

goodbye

I’d personally say its like a 7 or 8/10. Its probably the most mechanically varied and deep PvE focused survival game, but at the same time, it does really feel incomplete. Building lacks options, end-game content is often finicky or tideous, and performance issues can make the game near unplayable in enemy-dense regions.

Skibidi Toilet is a serious of SFM shorts that became popular with young kids. Think in the same vein as the weird flash videos or early SFM videos that were popular with young kids 10-15 years ago. “Skibidi” doesn’t mean anything and is just taken from that.

Does GOG allow it? I expect theres a clause for that in their TOS too.

Edit:

Regarding accounts, from their TOS:

(h) Don’t share, ‘buy’, ‘sell’, transfer, gift, lend, steal, misappropriate or misuse GOG accounts.

That said, I’m looking for details for individual games, but odds are, the rules are the same. Yes, you can still do it, but you can on Steam as well and if you’re disregarding legality, theres always other options.

Edit 2:

3.3 Your GOG account and GOG content are personal to you and cannot be shared with, sold, gifted or transferred to anyone else.

I used to play a lot of TTT (for those who don’t know, think Among Us, but its an FPS where anyone can shoot anyone else) and this is what ruined it for me. In the rare occasions where I could get together a group of friends, it was fine, but any attempt to play online was just endless squabbles. Everyone was constantly whining about if X peice of evidence was ligitimate enough to act on, and God-forbid anyone do anything that actually broke a rule, regardless of how fun or funny.

Yep. I think it came out yesterday.

Liking novelty and liking the core game aren’t mutually exclusive either though. New updates can be what people want specifically because it gives them a new angle to approach the core game without changing core mechanics or thinking. In the same way, people like trying weird varients of chess, be it different timers, non-standard board layouts, added rules, or nonsense openings. That doesn’t mean that they don’t like chess, but it gives them a chance to explore the game from new angles, hone niche skills, and contiue to theorycraft about the game they love.

Are you looking for an app, or an alternative website?

Honestly, I think the original. I know its inferior to most of the other games in most ways, but I’ve found a lot of the modern Zelda games feel pretty shallow and formulaec. Not to say they’re bad, but none of them really feel like they stand out to me either - they’re just good games. The original on the other hand, feels very different from a lot of the games since then. The world is kept a lot more foreign and hostile both in terms of aggressive enemies and in terms of tutorialization. Its makes the exploration so much more rewarding, and when you do find a new item, that much more special.

I saw this posted a couple days ago which pretty succinctly summarizes the current state of the market.

That said, worth noting that these launchers and complex storefronts aren’t really needed either, which is part of why I don’t have an issue with Steam. If you have a good game, you can just sell it on your own website like Minecraft, League of Legends, or Tarkov. Steam’s biggest (or at least most universal) utility for developers is just that it provides very cheap, very effective marketing.

An XCom style strategy/tactics game, but trying to find a balance of the original X-Com games’ flexability and the modern XCom’s streamlined polish.

Also, because I have a blank check, add VR support, and take advantage of the 3D positional controllers to to expand on the 3D enviroments. Rather than the simple 2-3 layer ones from the past, use more vertical levels, possibly more focus on units with grappling hooks or flight, or even using a similar format for air/space battles in 3D space.

Same way as anywhere else, but with fewer built-in middle men.

Ads can be served by instances or by individual creators. I expect if the Fediverse grows, many creators will be posting regular ads or sponsored content. The Fediverse has no built-in system for that, which makes it more difficult, but also so much more flexable as instances, platforms, and users can build, integrate, or negotiate whatever fits their needs.

Similarly, creators can take commisions or sell their work as rhey would elsewhere. If anything, this is easier as creators can easily link or promote whatever service fits their needs from a personal website (IE a store) to a Patreon.

Annoyingly, my cat has zero interest in spiders. Any other bug from silverfish to houseflys, she loves to hunt, but not spiders.

Guess what the one bug I’m afraid of is.

You don’t get stuck, but your vision gets “bumped” up while every other step is smooth.

In my very limited experience, Android is buggier in general (although mostly due to carrier/manufacturer modifications) but much easier to troubleshoot or find work arounds for.

As others have said, its an issue with older versions of Lemmy (as in, the websites running it, not your client). Once your admins update the website/instance you’re using, it’ll be fixed.

Around the time of the Reddit migration 6 months ago, things weren’t bad. Maybe it was because of the optimistim of the time. There were plenty of bad posts, but enough good posts and enough users voting that they were often buried. In my experience, at this point, there are far, far more bad than good.
