RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Donβt ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Marvel Rivals, Fragpunk are my current shooters
Atomfall, Balatro and 33 Immortals are in current rotation
7 Days to Die. Tried it a few years ago but didn't quite feel it. Now I've played about 150 hours over the last 2 months and am super hooked.
It seems to have matured quite a bit!
Very much! And the modding community is doing some absolutely incredible work.
Red dead redemption 1
Aw yeah! Have you played the second one?
Yes, but only started the first one now (pc gamer)
Just played ENA: Dream BBQ, really enjoyed it.
Me too!!
Woah what? They made an ENA videogame? Just saw the trailer and everything, even the trippy music is amazing, gonna give this one a try!
I marathoned Her Story last night. It's barely even a game. You're just searching through a database watching interrogation clips from this one woman trying to piece together what happened. Really cool experience though with lots of twists and turns
@Corno i was just playing tenchu stealth assassin on the psx... classic... once i remembered the controls.
I never played Stealth Assassins but I have so many fond memories of Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven, particularly multiplayer.
@Coelacanth it's def held up by nostalgia... the movement is not greeaat. but man it's so fun. :D
I think the second one is considered the best? or was it wrath of heaven... i watched a friend play that and it was a very different game tho. it's a stealth heavy game for the first one.
I'm pretty sure Wrath of Heaven is considered the best, but I haven't played all of them. You're making me itch to jump into it again though, for some nostalgia.
@Coelacanth the internet archive game launcher is a great kodi addon ;)
(side note apparently you have to side load the apk from their site if you want controllers to work without an additional addon)
I am currently playing a game called Empires of the Undergrowth. It is an ant simulator and it is extremely fun! Both educational and exciting to try to save your queen by breeding warrior ants, deciding their evolution tree and making sure the worker ants can collect food safely

Factorio, elden ring, and slay the spire.
Factorio is just good, and it's my favorite game of all time.
In elden ring, I've been trying out a new build that I call the "harmacist" build. Power stance thrusting swords, and a bunch of status buildup on both for giving the enemies their "medication".
In slay the spire I've recently reached ascension 20 on the defect, but haven't quite managed to beat it yet.
Balatro, all the games in the hunie pop series (for various lengths of time, I forgot how obnoxciously clicky studio was, HP1 is still a great alternative to chess when I want to move pieces but not think too hard), a little FNV but all my characters ended up with stupid problems.
Tactical Breach Wizards. I really like the writing, character design, and the bite sized levels.
Stardew and Cult of the Lamb with the kids, Minecraft, and FFTA emulated on my phone
Binding of Isaac! Still trying for 100%
Aw yeah! Had a phase where I got super addicted to that one! Really is an awesome game
Helldivers 2. So fun. So funny.
Kena, finished about a quarter way through i think
Just played the annual Terraforming Mars (digital on steam) game, I still hate it, but tradition is tradition, we play it because Mars sounds like March in french, so we just have to play it in March
Stationeers. I love how complex it is, to the point where you program chips with MIPS to automate air filtration systems.
Operation Harsh Doorstop and Beyond All Reason.
Also a bit of Voidigo, Enter The Gungeon and Sale Blazers.
Final Fantasy XIV. Sometimes have to check occasionally if my ranks are still there.
With my buddies I've been playing Sons of the Forest and we just finished it actually. We tried phasmo but it was a miss with this group unfortunately so we might try GTA online again.
With my coworkers I've been playing REPO or modded Lethal Company if more than 4 people show, if not we tend to just chat or play Helldivers 2 or phasmo.
When I want to mindlessly game I'll play Helldivers 2 randomly queueing or find something on my phone.
I'm partway into Act 3 on my 2nd play through of Baldur's Gate 3

About to take on the Steel Watcher foundry
Macbat 64
Half-Life
Dark Souls 2 - helping a new player. It's been a lot of fun, and also frustrating because of the stupid soul memory mechanic. I want to try a co op mod (and other mods) but it seems like a lot of work.
