EVE Online AKA Spreadsheets Online, back when I played it in 2009. No idea if it’s the same now. Almost entirely player driven economy and factions (outside of hi-sec).

Elite Dangerous, sort of. No other Space Sim is on its scale (I wouldn’t really call something like Space Engine a space sim). Unique, but mixed recommendations because it’s a very shallow game in a lot of ways, but it’s got a cool vibe. Speaking of which…

Space Engine. Not really a game, so much as a universe-simulator. It is unknown to this day how a mortal could create something of this grandeur. Maybe the source code will be released eventually.

Someone else already mentioned Noita :(

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is the most realistic game ever made. No other game had made me ask “what would I do in real life?” before. Of course, this dies out the more you learn the meta, but your first dozen or so runs are special.

Minecraft is hardly unique now, but when it came out it was one-of-a-kind.

wrong community?

I have no place in this topic as I use mg (minimal emacs-like editor), my window manager, and standard unix shell utils as my “IDE”, but it seems weird/dishonest that vscodium was not mentioned at all in the article, especially since vscodium is compiled without telemetry and is licensed MIT, which are the main complaints the article had about vscode. Reads like an ad if I’m honest.

based, please leak the source code so I can illegally build fromsoftware games on openbsd

Watch out Girl, just because FISH can breath underwater doesn’t mean you can!!!

Watch out Girl, if your hair stands up like that, it means you’re about to be struck by lightning!

Awfully positive comment section here for a rancid shitty megacorp known for rancid shitty subscription services now trying to predate on gamers.

Really big fleas or really small macaroni?

Except the gold is actually poop and the shovels require burning several trees per dig

Really wish when I clicked on the alternative for change.org one of the choices would have just been “a gun”

wonder what fraction of a fraction of a percent of their yearly profit they’ll be charged this time

Mouse and keyboard are my bread and butter, I don’t particularly enjoy gamepads, but the Steam Deck gets around this thanks to having touchpads and gyro, so I don’t mind using it when nothing else is available.

The longer Bethesda doesn’t touch Fallout the better, as I see it.

SteamOS on steam deck, PostmarketOS on pinephone. On desktop I use OpenBSD, but if I used a Linux it’d be either Alpine, Void, or Devuan.

Couldn’t help but notice it used exact same moon for both moons; that being earth’s moon

My cheeki is breeki’d

It’s easy to blame the monetization model, but the devs did decide to pour their effort into a project, knowing that they would likely be cucked by their publisher. There was an way to easily avoid this, even if it meant the game wouldn’t have gotten as much attention. The fewer people use publishers, the less they dominate the front page of retailers.

Since the consensus is that Borderlands is now a dead franchise, anyone know of any alternatives? I enjoy Roboquest, but it doesn’t quite scratch the same itch (minus the artstyle). Gunfire Reborn seems closer to Borderlands, so I’ll check it out eventually.

Great game, terrible performance issues. I don’t know why a game that looks like Half-Life 1 needed to use Unreal Engine 5. Nearly unplayable on the Steam Deck at times.
