Thanks to this comment I have spent time browsing the TVTropes page for Darkest Dungeon, a game I’ll never play because I’m super squeamish, bad with horror, and at this moment in time averse to media that’s super dark in theme. Enjoyable TVTropes page, probably great art, even if it’s super not for me.

If you’re inclined to check in with the npcs you’ll catch wind of little dramas and occasionally see them resolved, and none of it really affects gameplay or the story but it makes the world feel more alive.

I love that.

late response but !cozygames@lemmy.world

What mods are you using?

sometimes my phone browser does weird things with the game open but it either puts me back at a save checkpoint or goes right back where I left off and I really appreciate that

Okay, I won.

I think now the goal is to have the temp increase under 1.0C, negative emissions, and biodiversity at the 1 bar. The tough thing is even though I keep replaying I cannot figure out how to get my temp under 1.0C. I pulled it off once and probably never again lol

skribbl.io if you are willing to give up the controller for a phone screen

Got pretty far, surprised that I got a “me and the environmentalists failed to make the world a better place” given I had negative emissions, an ecstatic populace, and a message about how biodiversity was healing or something by the time I died. Time to replay! Would get distracted from my life responsibilities again with this game.

Fun read, thanks for the writeup!

I’ve also really enjoyed myself some Timberborn 🙂 glad to hear your thoughts!

Mods are allowed, but you’re not allowed to make any for you to play. You can try to commission someone else to make them for you, though

For gamers looking for ways to “get a new game” while still staying under these restrictions, it seems you pick a game with a ton of mods and an easy-to-mod and/or well-documented codebase so that the modders you hire are more willing to say yes to you.

• The Sims (not sure which one though)
• Skyrim (all the mods)
• Stardew Valley (mods, plus has been go-to #2 for gaming with friends in my social circles)
• Minecraft (mods, plus has been go-to #1 for gaming with friends in my social circles)
• Factorio
• Pokémon Soul Silver (we have ROM hacks!)
• Crusader Kings 3
• I was going to put a puzzle game here but I sadly don’t remember which one
• either Kittens Game or Antimatter Dimensions. Long-lived incremental games. Gave up on Antimatter Dimensions after a certain point, but it by far has the most of my Steam hours. Limited to 10 games I’d probably pick it back up again.
• either holding out for some masterful innovation in the visual novel genre, specifically one aimed at women; or Infinity Nikki, because if I get all the DLC automatically (or magically through an unlock process more like that in pay-once games) that means I can just enjoy a pretty game and forget about all the gacha stuff.

As much as I like Timberborn, I do wonder about its replayability value. Near endgame, I kind of run out of stuff to do. Although its mod scene is definitely growing, so that should help.

To each their own, I bought the game because of that kind of thing!

Feels good to see Anonymous Donor on every level.
