I typically go with single player games. Niche stuff casuals rarely play. It’s not a flex or anything, I just a “distinct” taste in gaming
Valhiem, Dwarf fortress, Starsector, Space Engineers 1
So like nethack in console mode with vim bindings?
Duck game, gunfire reborn, witcher 3, random meme games
“Yes I play nintendo. You mean romhacks, right?”
Europa Universalis, Stellaris, BG3, Schedule 1, Rimworld, Timberborn, Terraria, Surviving Mars are some of my most played games.
I also have played Witcher 1/2/3, Mass Effect 1/2/3, WoW, GW 1 and 2, TERA and a little Battlefield and COD(BO2).
You see, I am somewhat of a gamer myself.
So many a year ago, I would tell people I was a gamer, and they all assumed video games when I meant role-playing games. Made me a touch upset. Now I see this happening in video game culture too, and I just have a smile of justification while sitting in my room of unread ttrpg books.
And then I go “Hey what if you could play CoD from the perspective of the psychopathic senior officers whose orders make all this violence happen?”
“Rimworld, what’s that?”
“Its like the Sims on a hostile alien planet with robots and cannibalism”
“Cannibalism?!”
"Yea… Usually not intentionally. I mean no one sets to eat their friends or even their enemies but after a few lean seasons and you have run out of pets… But it’s not like you let them go to waste, you can use the leather too.
… (Doesn’t notice them pulling away)
Human leather is actually kind of a premium value product…". “Hey where’d you go?!”
Evil genius is fun too
No one asks.
Niche stuff casuals rarely play.
that’s the kind of gatekeeping I’d like to avoid in my hobby
I read it more as what the sentence actually says than gatekeeping tbh
I exclusively only play games that appear as though they were made for the dreamcast.
And sometimes cheat with a bit of some REZ inspired synesthesia games. Thanks Tetris: Effect, Lumines: Arise, and all three versions of beat hazard.
Morrowind
I only play online competitive games with my friends. They’re not worth the headache.
OP likes playing Witcher 3, doesn’t they?
Le hidden gem of a game
I think some people have heard of it.
