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.

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

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.

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.

Oh boy.

I want to support content creators, especially the ones willing to post to Lemmy.

This also reminds me of kids just trying out creative pursuits for the first time, what with "Please no hate" in the title instead of using the title like an actual title and asking commenters to be gentle in the post body. Not wanting hate is just a normal and understandable desire, so I feel bad for even saying that, but I also only ever saw that kind of thing in the title of a post when I was 9 and looking at stuff fellow kids put online. Most creators, even those seeking feedback (and I've seen a lot of those), will put a request to be gentle in the post body. Their title actually tells you about their content and tries its damndest to appeal to you.

"Tell me what do you think about this video" also isn't 100% perfect English. I mean, who among us hasn't made a screwup before with the English language? But somehow this just… really reminds me of kids trying out creative pursuits for the first time. I can't really explain it.

I think I'm also expecting a description of what your video is even about in the body, and your message could apply to any video uploaded. A makeup tutorial, a math lesson, an avant-garde art piece… I assume it has to do with gaming given you posted it in !gaming@lemmy.world, but that is all I know. Something about this just feels weird and wrong and I figured I might as well help you (since you did ask for feedback) by trying to explain why I feel so, so offput by this post.

Also, I opened the video, saw the #dani hashtag, and thought "oh that guy that person on Lemmy was trying to promote," had a hunch, and checked your profile to find you are that person on Lemmy who was promoting him. So I admit I have that experience coloring my perception of your post.

Left a save of the game totally unprogressed for awhile now because I randomly decided to use that save as a testing guinea pig for a mod I'm making, and right now I'm testing a particular event. I should probably just progress and use a different save I am not actually trying to play as the testing guinea pig.

If you check the wiki or just trust the random stranger on the internet you'll find it is indeed a storyline in game!

Alex's page, forget where it is tbh

George's page, check Quotes

I think https://tvtropes.org/ will also back me up on this.

The way I'd think of this is "it wasn't made for you, simply made available to you in case you like it," and that's a perfectly valid way to approach making stuff. If there's a giant overseas audience, why not make them happy and profit at the same time, but if there is not because they hate it, well different audiences like different things and it is no big failure of yours to have an audience you weren't catering to dislike your work.

Not everyone has to be a master architect/artist, just to enjoy the game :)
