I don’t see how you can possibly play Stellaris outside of turbo speed setting.

I literally only play on slow, and I can barely keep up with my notifications. How do you people live?
ReplicatedSoda@startrek.website 11 months ago
And it’s seemingly random which notifications pause the game!
ReplicatedSoda@startrek.website 11 months ago
I don’t understand the planet growth mechanics in Stellaris. So the game speed is never an issue for me. I always just get confused eventually and stop playing.
Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
What about it don’t you understand? Maybe I can help explain.

In my last game, the Ilhome cluster event with those fanatic purifiers happened, and I was playing some militarist, communist space cacti. I had refugees welcome as the fanatical purifiers captured a quarter of the galaxy. Then I declared war on them and quickly overwhelmed them, since they had overextended. During the 10 years of peace after the war, I was constantly busy ordering new districts and buildings build, so much that I regularly ran out of minerals, despite buying 1000 minerals each month. So basically, late game there’s too much paperwork for the turbo setting.

Project Wingman really surprised me. I thought it’d be a sad knockoff, but I think I actually prefer it over the original now.
ReplicatedSoda@startrek.website 11 months ago
Agreed. It’s an excellent example of what indie devs can do.

Does it count as being patient with Baldur’s Gate 3 if I ignored everything about it during Early Access and bought it a day after the official, finalized, release? 🤔
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Patient usually means years after release. Generally, the benefit is getting it with a heavy discount or having hardware better suited to run it (again for the reduced price). Also tends to weed out bad games that get hyped up and gives you the benefit of others’ hindsight with reviews.
Considering “release day” to be patient just normalizes incomplete games being the typical product.
ReplicatedSoda@startrek.website 11 months ago
Yeah, considering they’re not even done with all the post launch patches yet it’s not a patient gamer game.
MrEff@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Frostpunk! That game is sooo good. One of my top games. Took me a sec to get into the first time I played it and then didn’t touch it for a long time. I went back and played it again and got sucked into it. I have hundreds of hours in it now. Love it so much I even got the boardgame.
ReplicatedSoda@startrek.website 11 months ago
Check out thier other game, “This war of mine” if you haven’t already. It’s a 2D survival game. It’s in museums.
guru_hippo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I played the hell out of that game for a long time. It’s definitely one of a kind in the best way possible.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Isn’t AM2R one that being patient actively hindered access to?
ReplicatedSoda@startrek.website 11 months ago
Other people took it up and have been updating it since it was released. It has a launcher now, and is super simple to find online.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Oh that’s good. I kept my copy from like the week between release and takedown partly out of preservation sake, but I’m glad it’s more accessible. I remember slipping a copy to friends when it was unavailable
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Pretty damn patient if you’re just playing Ocarina of Time now haha
ReplicatedSoda@startrek.website 11 months ago
Oh I’ve got every NES and SNES games. And 20-30 games each for GBA, Genesis, GameCube, Wii, PSX, PS2, PSP. That Zelda and FF7 are “enhanced” versions of the originals with better graphics, widescreen support, QoL patches, etc.

Rain World is one of the coolest games I never want to play again~
kratoz29@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Did you play all those games or are you planning to?
ReplicatedSoda@startrek.website 11 months ago
Both

Agreed. I’ve got like 100 hours in that so far.

Looks a lot like my list.

I’m not seeing The Long Dark.
ReplicatedSoda@startrek.website 11 months ago
Don’t know what that is.
rbos@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Best game evar if you like survival games and walking simulators. :P
craftyindividual@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I really like the new art styles on the titles, it’s not Steam right?
Mini Metro is my daily brainteaser. Subnautica is truly original wonderful exploration game. Portal goes without saying. Prey was fantastic, such a broad scope… survival horror, puzzle, exploration (many rave about Dishonored by the same team, but that never grabbed me).
9point6@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Believe it or not steam allows you to provide your own box art for games
So naturally, there’s a site where people share custom artwork www.steamgriddb.com
craftyindividual@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Well, now I’ve seen it I all!
Carighan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That looks to be Steam, going by the bottom right.
ReplicatedSoda@startrek.website 11 months ago
Thank you! I spent way too much time trying to get cool looking at work. The other person is correct, I used steamgriddb for them.
Mini metro is fun, starts out casual and always ends frantic.
I’ve been playing Subnautica on and off for years. Still haven’t beat it. I love just swimming around and getting caught up in whatever I decide to try and build.
Prey, Dishonored, BioShock, System Shock, DeusEx etc are all great games in thier genre
