I picked Subnautica back up because I wanted to try a randomizer mod. Thought it might add a fun twist to the game, but even though it made the start a little bit more difficult it really just made everything more tedious because I had to swim to shallow water to get early game materials. Basically all that’s randomized is my spawn location and the blueprint fragments are semi-randomized.

I only made progress after restarting twice because the first time my lifepod spawned way too far towards the edge and I was eaten by a ghost leviathan as soon as I left the lifepod. The second start I had a good spawn but I had randomize recipes on and did you know there are like a million different seeds in the game? That’s not really the experience I was looking for lol.

This game is so unbelievably good it’s such a disservice people keep attributing these fake screenshots to it. It’s actually incredible how relevant its themes still are.

It’s a pity it didn’t see more success because it had so much potential. The tablet had a lot of utility.

It’s heavily encouraged! 3D printed ships are pretty popular, and it’s not too hard to make your own. Ben, the current custodian has a pretty fleshed out series of custom ships that most of the community accepts as “officially unofficial” so the community is very open to proxies, homebrews, and custom stuff.

I was so enthralled with this concept when I was in school but could never rope anyone into playing it with me lol. Totally forgot about it til now.

It’s a huge multimedia franchise and the de-facto video game that people think of when you mention games. It’s got to be SMB.

I can third it. It totally feels like you’re playing an RTS but without having to study build orders and practice your micro.

If anyone out there has never played Minecraft with a group you have got to give it a shot. Exploring and building together is really so much fun, it can’t be understated!

Usually I get a few friends to play on a realm or something but they always lose interest after a couple weeks. I just joined a more regular playgroup with a well maintained server, though, and it’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had in Minecraft.

It’s the only way I can get my partner to play board games with me, which is really disappointing because I absolutely love the tactility of game pieces. It saves the trouble of cleaning off a play area and setting up and breaking down the games but that never really bothered me.

I love me an underrated Bug superstar. In Black I used a Leavanny as mine and it cleaned house. When I played Omega Ruby my Masquerain carried my team and took me totally by surprise.

And God forbid you look for anything involving troubleshooting your home network. Good luck sorting through pages and pages of the same copy and pasted article telling you how to restart your router.

The half life games are right at the limit for me in terms of scary video games. They tread the line just enough imo. I think it’s because it’s not just horror the whole time, there’s tons of non scary puzzles and gun-slinging going on to cool down.

Yeah the irony is that the Fallout games have some of the best environmental storytelling in all of gaming but without storytelling storytelling it’s just like white noise lol

Well I would hope so for accessibility’s sake

My girlfriend and I played through the quest line of where we started in Morrowind (I think?) and had a blast, but once we left we were totally lost! I was really engrossed with the story but all of a sudden we’re just doing something completely different. I was quite disappointed and it left me wondering if we had done something wrong or out of order.

If you like Rimworld the Pete Completes series is pretty good. He puts a narrative focus on his playthroughs which makes them super watchable!

Totally stoked for this! I’ve been craving a good mech game for so long. Pity the Gundam franchise can’t get a decent game.

Pokemon Arceus but the battles are Pokken 🤔

Toads Turnpike, Wild Woods, and the FZero tracks should all be way higher!

I’ve come close a few times. I’m so introverted usually my only friendships are held together through my significant other so if they drift away, so do I. I’ve tried reaching out in the past but it never amounts to anything.
