I meant games that don't randomize or change on repeat runs. Games that always offer a somewhat similar, scripted experience.

Overall, static games with carefully crafted experiences are better than any roguelike.

I've heard about this one a few times now. What are the difference between this and Vampire Survivors? What does one do better than the other?

Sittingonclouds is a good one! It has loads! There's also squid-board, which has even more, but registrations aren't always open.

It's a reference to Moby Dick. It's something you really want, but seems unattainable.

I'm facing similar problems. What helped me settle here, though, were the right tools. The most helpful being:

The Lemmy Explorer, which helps you find forums across all Lemmy instances: https://lemmyverse.net/

Lemmy Link, which make it easier to show forums on the lemmy instance you are using: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lemmy-link/

And, as a bit of a wild card, I made an RSS feed. If you don't know what it is, it basically let's you subscribe to websites so that any articles or threads show up in one big personal newspaper. That way, I can get both the few Lemmy topics that are here and supplant the rest with "loose" websites like blogs or news sites.

Lemmy is fully compatible with RSS as are many other sites. If a site isn't, it's fairly easy to make it compatible with a generator. After that, it's just a matter of gathering the links you want.

I'd recommend checking out Feedly and just tinkering to see if it's something you'd enjoy. It's not a full replacement, but it does allow you to make things more personal.

Would the no-random mode be a better way to play first time compared to the other mods that are out there? I always get a bit overwhelmed with all the options and the installation process.

Honestly I disagree with some comments here. I wouldn't make a separate community. Just do it here. The community is small as-is, no need to splinter it down any further.

Also, I don't think games would just have to be cheap, they'd also have to be short. That makes the barrier of entry a bit lower.

 

I do have some ideas for stories, but I don't consider myself good enough to enter. If you need some story ideas, feel free to pick one from the pile:

Faceless - Excelsior is a shapeshifter that has lived for over a million years. Now, his existence is coming to an end. On his deathbed, he has one last wish. To return to his original body one last time. If only he could remember what it looked like. Will the Doctor be able to help him?

Bedtime - Lars has a weird problem. The closet in his bedroom stores more than just clothes. If he enters the closet, he is sent one day into the future. He has used the door his entire life, but is it actually safe? The Doctor is about to find out!

The Loss of Gravity - The Doctor and his companion(s) land in a small ghost town called "Gravity". Its little more than a stack of ruins, but one thing sets it apart: It is constantly in a falling motion around a small black hole. When the tardis gets stuck outside the town, the Doctor and companion(s) will have to find a way to finally slam the breaks on the perpetually moving ruins.

I'd love to hear some of your ideas as well!
