Basically, title
Never noticed until you asked, but yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen such a thread in ages.
[Meta] Did we drop the "what are you playing" monthly thread? Also, mods haven't been active for a while, should someone take over?

Hey, mod here. Guilty as charged, I honestly haven’t played much in months so it’s been hard to come up with good posts. I do read everyone else’s posts though, but not every day. I’ll try to comment more frequently and check in more often too.
As for the monthly games thread, that’s been the other mod, I’ve been patiently waiting for a new post for a while but haven’t seen one from him. I might take over that duty if the most recent post hits 3 months without update.
If there’s anything you’d like from this sub I’d love to hear it!

I really liked the “Essential Games List” on Reddit, maybe we could do something similar? Or maybe best recently patient games? (games that are 1-2 years old)
Basically, I come here for game recommendations, so I’d really like a rotating rec list. Once/year would be plenty for me, since I just throw them on a wishlist and pick them up when I need games to play.
cod@lemmy.world 4 months ago
That’s a great idea. I’m definitely going to look into doing that essential games list.
As for the recently patient games, I just made a post about that last night! It seems to be well received.

Hello,
Good to see you are still around!
Atomic@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Faster Than Light. It’s so addictive and such a nice chill game
LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
One of the few games I always come back to
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Looks like it’s on you now.
Finishing up AC: Brotherhood and looking for some cool indies. I’ve got a few in my library, but I’m open to trying something new.

The news of KSP 2’s death has got me playing KSP [1] for the first time in years. It’s still abyssmally optimised, but nonetheless fun as ever!
deathbird@mander.xyz 5 months ago
Playing Disco Elysium for the first time and it’s really good. Reminds me a lot of Planescape: Torment. Really a breath of fresh air after Fallout 4.
Fallout 4 had fun gameplay, but my god did the writing suck. There were a few good bits, but overall it was garbage. The 4-options-only dialogue system blew anyway, but the options were always “Yes”, “No”, “Meh/Sarcastic Yes”, and “Tell me more!” It was terrible.
At least in Skyrim you were a nobody that everyone wanted a piece of, you lack of internal motivation was understandable. The conflicts were between the groups were rooted in a history you woke up in the middle of. There were literally chaos gods (daedra) fucking shit up. For the love of god Bethesda, please just make the next Fallout game an actual RPG.
Oh, and I also need to circle back around to Dave the Diver now that the Godzilla DLC is out.

My kids discovered stardew valley now I’m hooked again. Sweet, fun, addictive gameplay
Elevator7009@kbin.run 5 months ago
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.
fritata_fritato@lemmy.nz 5 months ago
No mines is going to be a real challenge alright. So7nds fun
NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Started a Professor Oaks Challenge in Red. I’m still not out of the grind in Viridian Forest. So much grinding.
For those who don’t know, the challenge is to catch, and evolve, every possible pokemon line before each gym leader. Doing this in an OG game is pretty painful, and slow at the start.
Kinda have Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous burning in the back of my mind, though. That new DLC. Kinda wanna roll up a Bladebound Magus. Kinda getting tired of running in a straight line repeatedly.
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Does that include buying magickarp for extra pain? Hopefully you are using an emulator so it at least loves faster.
NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Yeah, I’m planning on pretty much grabbing one of the high levels I’ll have and just switch training Magi on the trainers in Mt. Moon before doing the Cerulean Catch-and-Grind, and having to add Abra into the mix for a bit.
Oh yeah, emulator with FF on with PKHex at my side to make some things a bit more gentle, but manually grinding, catching, and including Trades since I can just fake it and have a “legal” one.
Nemo@midwest.social 5 months ago
Well I caved and started a new Minecraft world, but I’m not sure I like my seed. Playing the original Moving Out with my kindergartner and he’s surprising good at it.
Carlo@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Thanks for the Moving Out tip! I’m always looking for couch co-op stuff to play with my daughter, and this looks right up our alley.
Nemo@midwest.social 5 months ago
It’s on crazy sale on the Nintendo e-store right now, maybe other platforms, too.
BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 4 months ago
theyre just being extra patient
Apeman42@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I’m hooked on Marvel’s Midnight Suns right now. It’s a little bit XCOM, a little bit Persona, and some deckbuilding on top. Some exploration and light puzzles in the hub area between missions if you like, mostly for the friendship/lore/cosmetic stuff. Got it free from Epic last month, but I’d say it’s at least worth $25 or so if you find a sale.
verycoolusername@lemm.ee 5 months ago
I just hope they haven’t abandoned it completely. But it would be nice to hear from the mods about the issue you raised. Would be a pity to lose such an active community.
Blaze@reddthat.com 5 months ago
The most active one hasn’t been around for a month, so I’m a bit worried they might be gone.
But that’s not an issue per se, someone else can take over
peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Like the old super nintendo rpg featuring Ness? Gosh why the rush? Seriously tho that’s a neat one. I played not many years ago for the first time. It’s wild seeing so much of what I love in games so old. Even if we owned a super Nintendo back when and I logged absurd hours…
Super Mario RPG was major for me, I got it because it said Mario. Hated it for the first few nights, loved it for years. Equally realized rpg was a genre of games.
Tregetour@lemdro.id 5 months ago
Started playing Rain World (oh god)
frankjaeger@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
I’ve got 50% completion on Marvel’s Spider-Man. The swinging mechanic and combat are great and never wear out their welcome. What gets old is the unending cycle of finishing two missions then running into someone who starts yet another collect-athon with, “Help me find my lost pigeons strewn about the city,” or “Fight five groups of enemies in each New York neighborhood”.
B0NK3RS@lemmy.world 5 months ago
To me it feels like a big drop in activity on Lemmy over the past 6 months? So the weekly and monthly post are being forgotten and some are letting standards slip.
The HDD in my Xbox One S was starting to die so I decided to swap it for an SSD. Surprisingly easy to do with just a torx screwdriver and a spudger. So now I’m starting Red Dead Redemption again as I got so close to completion but didn’t quite finish the story.
makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
I’m back into Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It’s whipping my ass.
gac11@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I’ve played off and on for years and don’t think I’ve ever made it past level 20. I have no idea why I’m so terrible
h3mlocke@lemm.ee 4 months ago
I’ve recently become addicted to realm of the mad god
vritrahan@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
I was playing AC Valhalla and Jedi Survivor, but then my game pass expired and I didn’t like the games enough to renew it. So now I’m back to Red Dead Redemption 2.
dirtySourdough@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I’ve been playing Metroid Prime 3 and largely enjoying it. The most recent boss fight was incredibly fun and refreshing, easily the best in the game and high in the rankings for best boss fight period.
AHemlocksLie@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
I’ve been playing QuakeWorld for a few months, and I started playing EverQuest on Project Quarm. Been kinda wild playing EQ to see how the MMO genre has evolved over time. Only level like 8 or 9, but it’s been fun.
zerofk@lemm.ee 5 months ago
I recently finished Mass Effect Legendary, a very nice experience. I’m now starting Andromeda and so far I’m enjoying it a lot. The game is gorgeous! Its flaws may start showing later, but for now it’s great - and it’s not like the other ME games don’t have flaws.
Renacles@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I’m playing Blacktail, it came out last year and went under the radar but it’s really good. It’s based on classic fairy tales before they were disneyfied.
_Lory98_@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
I’ve been having trouble focusing on a game and finishing it, but I’ve recently played God of War (2018) which was quite disappointing, and last week I’ve played Trails in the Sky which I enjoyed, except for ::: spoiler the :::
I’ve also been playing the original FFVII.
Carighan@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Finally got around to playing Oxenfree II after finishing Dave The Diver. Slow progress as I’m getting distracted left and right and center by other games, but I like how they kept the semi-creepy atmosphere from Oxenfree. Really neat presentation, and I love the voice actress for Riley, she did great work.
Just wish the game had more characters than me and my sidekick, atl east so far.
Blaster_M@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Forza Horizon 5. Just got all I could for the Retrowave event. Couldn’t get the DeLorean or the F50, but I do have an extra F40 now and the GMC Syclone. Kinda missed some of the events due to working on other things.
LordGimp@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Picked up MW5 Mercenaries the other day and liked it so much I picked up all thr DLCs for it too. Not sure that was the best move as a few early mechs have some annoyingly powerful equipment
randombullet@programming.dev 5 months ago
I’m playing thronefall.
Difficult but super fun. Only made it past level 3. A bit too preoccupied to play further.
Also playing on a steam deck!
Sylvartas@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Got roped back into Tarkov because of the PvE mode. (I got the EoD edition on sale a while ago)

I think we should create an “Impatient Gamers” community and send OP to that one (evil emoji).
