I haven’t played Deep Sky Derelicts but One Step From Eden is a good time. It’s much more of an action game than a card game though, and very fast paced.

I’m a fan of card games like Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeons, and Monster Train run on practically anything. There’s hundreds of hours of fun in there if you’re into these games.

It’s probably because the algorithm was tuned for a smaller community. As soon as posts got hundreds of comments it likely made things stay at the top for a very long time. Definitely something that will get tuned over time.

I think Active could use a little bit of tweaking though, it seems like some posts last too long and obscures newer posts.

Makes literally no sense to me that Reddit couldn’t afford to provide a price exception to 3rd party apps that have helped grow their community and website over the years. I’ve been using Reddit Is Fun for almost a decade now, and I’m not switching to their official app.

Companies are getting too comfortable when they have no competition. Really hope a Fediverse alternative will kick off like Mastodon did (ironically I’m placing my bets on kbin even though I use Lemmy. Seems like the simpler alternative that’ll be easier to invite people over).

Minetest is really cool but it’s always struck me as kind of a shameless Minecraft clone instead of trying to do something new. The graphics are identical, the UI is similar, the gameplay is practically the same, there isn’t a huge reason to play it compared to Java Minecraft + mods. It is free and open source though, which is cool.

I’m more of a Vintage Story enjoyer myself. It has its fair share of issues but I appreciate how it’s not trying to be Minecraft.

This sound like you don’t play games very much because that’s not the case, at all. Not everyone has unlimited data caps and fast internet, and those that do would still rather play games locally than suffer input lag and video artifacts. With consoles and PCs being as powerful as ever and still affordable I don’t think the cloud gaming market will ever be mainstream.

The game looks great but I’m worried the enemies might be too spongy. Every fight shown in many gameplay videos is just the player wailing in a big slow enemy for 2-3 minutes until they die.

Ah well it’ll be a million years until it gets ported to PC anyways. Still hyped.

Helloooo. I can see the post but I dunno if you can set a title for it. Right now the title is “@asklemmy”

Will do.

Remnant From The Ashes is probably the best game this month but it’s already been given away on Epic a while ago.

There are a few PS4 emulators but all of them are in pre-alpha and barely boot any games. So not any time soon.

The original Doom for sure. I don’t know if they count as mods since they’re technically running on a modified version of the engine, but there is still a massive community making maps, mods, and even new game modes for it. Most recently the “MyHouse.wad” map for it has exploded in popularity. I’ve had so much fun over the years with doom mods, it’s a treasure trove that most people have no idea exists.

There’s even entire new games built on Doom. Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (stupid name, I know) is a fantastic free open source karting game with a decent community, and it’s technically just a doom mod.

If anyone here is going to play a single doom mod to see what’s up, I recommend Doom: The Golden Souls Remastered. It’s good fun.

Maybe it’s just that it’s familiar, but Zorin OS has always had the most “it just works” GUI to me. It’s clean, stable, and provides many sensible presets if you prefer windows environments, mac environments, old school gnome, etc.

Aside from being very pretty it also has great UX and linux beginner onboarding features. For example if you try to open an exe file for the first time, it explains that this is a Windows-specific file and sets up Wine for you.

A lot of people recommend Fedora and PopOS for people getting into Linux but honestly Zorin Core has always been my #1.
