I love Eastern cottontails! Thank you for sharing! How did you get such a nice picture? Mine are often more grainy because I have to use the zoom feature on my phone or get a small picture. The bunnies run away if I get too close. So I have actually taken tons of pictures that never make it to Lemmy
I wanted the life simulation genre to grow and for EA to maybe see some competition. But it seems to be mostly Sims to the point this post is here and @lifesimulation@lemmy.world (!lifesimulation@lemmy.world for the Lemmy users) is dead. I’m here because I enjoy The Sims but it would have been nice to get something new.
Same, started playing with a friend and now I’m back on the Stardew grind in singleplayer too. Doing a challenge run where I try to complete the community center without ever buying from Pierre (except for the backpack upgrades) or Joja, and without ever going in the mines. The real blocker on this is quartz. My only route to obtain it is fiddling in peoples’ trash and it is a rare drop.
I have seen Noita recommended so many times for deep/complex games or games with a cool magic system.
I have also never fired and bought it because I don’t tend to like roguelikes and I hear it can be very frustrating, though some mods help with that. Not sure if I should buy.
(Or I could just see if a friend would let me try theirs first :P)
I watched a quick trailer for Workers and Resources and the part focusing on a bus driving made me think of a head-in-the-clouds fantasy cool thing:
a city builder game. Click on a truck driving through to switch to a driving sim (think American/Euro Truck Simulator), on a train to a train sim, on a bus to a bus sim… Click on a person walking on the street and you get a The Sims-like interface and get the ability to switch into that game mode. And even though this is probably highly unrealistic and already too much, so why am I even thinking about scope, you could limit scope by locking to just this one city. Any vehicle routes out of the city have the vehicle disappear when you get to the city border. Sims already limited itself to one town/city, do that the same way.
After reading a few reviews for W&R apparently it scratches both a Transport Tycoon-type itch and regular city builder itches, so sort of like my above idea—a few games in one. Apparently it can be micromanagey, which appeals to me when I’m in a certain kind of mood.
Reviews for Skylines 2 are Mixed, which suggests you should play Manor Lords (Very Positive).
I just played some Stardew multiplayer with a friend. First time I have broken out the game in about a year, and what with 1.6 being newly out, now I feel like playing singleplayer…
Also multiplayer Minecraft with friends.
When I was a kid, I played so many more games on my own initiative. Now that I’m older I seem to need to be incentivized to play a game by “your friend is playing this game!” But that does set me in more of a gaming mood afterwards…
I’ll never remember the difference between !communityName@instance and @communityName@instance. When I go to view the community name and rules, at least on Kbin/Mbin I see it listing itself as @communityName@instance. I think I had a similar issue awhile back
You might want to throw @bunnies@lemmy.world and @snakes@lemmy.world on there too. Also @incremental_games@incremental.social
I did not even know they separated out Web searches until I came to your comment. Super useful, thank you.
Uhh maybe these? Felt bad this went unanswered so I did a quick search.

Was free on Epic awhile back, check to make sure you didn’t get it there already
I always appreciate the Epic posts. I know it is a known weekly thing, I also tend to forget with all the other things going on in my life to actually go claim the weekly free game. Your posts remind me to do that.
I think that is the perfect explanation for why I don’t like walking simulators, thank you!
As a walking simulator hater (not going to say “if you like them you are not a gamer”, they are just personally not my speed), I enjoyed Stanley Parable a lot. Hades is kind of similar in that I don’t like roguelikes but I do like it.
Kingdom looked so interesting but actually playing it drove me up the wall for reasons I cannot articulate even today.
I remember someone being named Connor, a fandom on tumblr, and robots.
Is anyone named Detroit and does anyone become human?
Right—I’ve never been much of a collector in games. I like The Sims to engineer relationship drama, for Create-a-Sim, and for general life simulation. I put my Sims in regular careers or have them make and sell art or whatever—not collectibles. Really not interested in that aspect of the game, for whatever reason.
Yes, I do realize that part of life for some humans is fulfilling their collecting hobby.
Rabbit.
They’re adorable.
That’s the only reason.
Why yes, I do post on @bunnies@lemmy.world.
Clicking that on Kbin gives me a 404 Not Found, clicking that on Lemmy works.
What I typed in was
!bunnies@lemmy.worldwhich I got from the sidebar of Lemmy communities. I have had other people bring up the format with the exclamation point before, this is the first time I’m being told to put in what I see in the URL on Lemmy. I really wish people would just make the different linking methods compatible between Lemmy and Kbin, I always try to accommodate for both and somehow always end up with a comment telling me I did it wrong even though I try to listen and do what the comment says.
