I love having my decision not to buy a Nintendo Switch and stick to PC games validated.

Feel bad for all the Nintendo fans though, I get how you can fall in love with a franchise they make and want their stuff only to have "except it costs a ton" stuck on, so you'll have to skip for financial reasons and feel unhappy. It's a lot harder to abstain from something you actually care about and want, than something you are maybe mildly interested in.

I just noticed the rest of your bullet points all have the same issue ;-;

Posted here recently, wishlisted, you bet I'll purchase

I remember wanting to play the first one awhile back, then life happened and I forgot all about it. Thanks for the reminder :)

One of my favorite things about Stardew Valley is how moddable it is. Mod where they actually use the community center. I think there are a couple other mods that do this too if you go looking, they'd probably vary in implementation

You might want to check formatting on VoxeLibre. It looks like you tried to have a bulleted list that instead showed up as all inline in one giant paragraph.

Nice to find another woman on the Fediverse. Usually I don't mind male-dominated environments as long as nobody treats me badly once they know I'm female, but the small amount of participants in !otomegames@ani.social and !infinitynikki@discuss.tchncs.de (both communities for games that are aimed at women) makes me wish for more women here. Meanwhile the gender-neutral !automationgames@lemmy.zip attracted a lot more attention.

My earlier comment almost had a section that said "and if English is your second language, sorry in advance about all the incorrect assumptions! Learning a second language is difficult."

Best wishes! I do think you would find better reception if you put more information about what you are posting about in the title and body.

Hey, just clicked on something in this series of posts for the first time. Genuinely, thanks for your effort in writing it. I usually see link posts, and I have missed big original writeups like this. We need more people like you on Lemmy.

Re: slowdown, I use Lemmy exclusively via browser and it's a very smooth experience for me ;)

]ANYWAY, to the point, I really enjoyed this video from Fastminer07 on YouTube, it was clear and reiterates how important this is. Worth a look if you’re searching for interseting videos for your down-time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Ih__mE05c)

Might want to turn that first bracket to be an opening bracket so the link works.

I'm not a perfect being so I use Steam out of convenience instead of GOG, though I do have a GOG account. I am pleased to see good news from them and that they are maintaining a good library of games. It is nice to see the option that I think people choose in an effort to be anti-DRM and to support games preservation doing well.

I should probably look into the Switch emulator thing more, sounds ripe for an original !hobbydrama@lemmy.world post.

Recently picked up shapez.io again, part of the !automationgames@lemmy.zip genre. Just started that community. Also currently playing !infinitynikki@discuss.tchncs.de (which at least one person on Lemmy mistook for a waifubait anime gacha game with straight male gaze fanservice going off the community icon, which I think earned it a bunch of downvotes when promoted in !newcommunities@lemmy.world. When to be honest, it is the opposite: still an open world gacha game, but marketed at women. No romance featured, no sexualized fanservice, but a lot of pretty outfits to dress up in with nice hair and dress physics), !pokemon@lemm.ee, and Antimatter Dimensions which is in the !incremental_games@incremental.social genre. I have several !otomegames@ani.social that I kind of just stopped midway through even though they were enjoyable; likewise with the !crpg@lemmy.world Dragon Age: Origins. I enjoy the above listed genres and games, as well as !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works, !tycoon@lemmy.world or management games, and !lifesimulation@lemmy.world games. There are other games I enjoy too but this is sort of turning into my subscribed communities list, and I'm not currently playing them right now 😅 I game on Linux (PC only, not in the market for a console, however Steam trying to sell the Steam Deck and then doing the whole Proton thing to try to make more games compatible with their Linux-based console means that suddenly a lot more games are playable on Linux so I'm grateful for that), iOS, and MacOS. Lutris has been very helpful for finding different emulators on Linux.

For transparency, I mod !automationgames@lemmy.zip and !otomegames@ani.social but not the rest, and I want to help the other Fediverse communities I listed grow. I like those genres but am not super knowledgeable about any of them and like seeing recommendations and discussion about them.

Watched a friend play through part of this one. Looks to be a pretty good game.

If you actually do enjoy this genre and want some unironic takes (and no, they are not all dating sims or erotica) take a look at !visualnovels@ani.social! Also related is !otomegames@ani.social, a VN subgenre: dating sims aimed at women with male love interests. For transparency, I mod the second one but not the first.
