  • Totally forgot about this thread after work, whoops, but now In the MB territory we have

    Horsey Game a goofy horse breeder game thats very normal

    Carrion what I can only describe as reverse horror where you are the monster. I liked the game took me a little under 6 hours to beat it, there are some collectibles but the game felt kinda like a one and done Castle crahser honestly no introduction needed, i sunk a good chunk of time into the xbox 360 version in middle school (coming full circle playing it again when im getting my 4 year degree)

    Fields of Mistria i have like 20 min in this game but its very much inspired by stardew but with more magic (from what i read) and like a 90s sailor moon artstyle. Very much the black sheep in my library as like 99% of my games are action

    In the 1 to 5 gig range we got dome keeper a hybrid of digging holes and tower defense, recently picked it up for the multiplayer update again. ZI like this one its pretty fun

    atomicrops another hybrid game and this one DEFINITLY was made and fueled by illegal substances because its an adventure, farming, tower defense, bullet hell, rougelike where you can get married. By day you explore to gather seeds and upgrades and by night you defend your farm from hungry critters trying to kill you and your crops

    noita wizard death, i will not elaborate. Games got a ton to discover, and ive scratched the surface in things ive found even after beating the game

    Ive mentioned it before but dead cells i looooove this game and for me it kinda set the bar for rouge like. Without spoilers ive beat the game several times on my switch got on pc a bit ago where i have 250 hours, great deck game, but you do have to follow this guide from reddit to make your saves avaliable offline. Cus FOR SOME REASON the online and offline saves are seperate, but the guide does a good job giving you a step by step on how to do that and if my technophobic ass can do it im sure you can

    drg ROCK AND STOOOONE. If yournot familar an objective based hoard shooter with tons of build varierty (im at 100 hours and still have much to unlock). Though i havent gotten the out of game mod launcher (mint) working on my deck so i might just use the ingame one.

    10 gigs all i have worth mentioning is anno mutonaium a cyberpunk ish game (more like cyberpunk inspired fantasy) game, i havent beat it and between two plkaythroughs now and like 2022/23 i have 10 hours but so far im liking the side scrolling combat.

    Getting really up there now is V rising at 17 gigs, a top down vampire survial game, with castle building and progression is based on bosses. Honestly I love this game but it does require an active internet conenction as even in single player you are connected to a server sooooo maybe not the best for the deck. But that aside the survival mechanic is blood which is super easy to get, draining an npc fills it full, gives you buffs based on the purity/quality, and later you can have prisoners to keep taping blood from that rare 99/100% quality dude you found.

    at 21 gigs jump space is becoming one of my favorite games since the open beta tests and its a combo of ship combat andon foot fps combat. It is in early access so this numbers likely to go up. Currently we have augments (player buffs) two soon to be three ships, the map used to be cult of the lamb style but now its like that but circular so you can choose the length while in the mission. The summer update is adding rng stat boosts to guns and ships components to make exploring wirth it, Currently you rob a corvette or find a ship part in a container then you have it unlocked and once you pgrade its done, this new update is planning to fix that and allow saved guns. I can go on and on about this game i just love it so much. So i can give the full info dump about this game if you so desire

    An honestly more a tool but lossless scaling if you dont mind some visual artifacts. On my dying 30something nvidia laptop I could use a 1.3x frame multiplier, get skyrim up to 90 fps with no fiddling, and with a decky plugin i still use for my steam deck use a 2x frame multiplier on any game, so pretty helpful




  • In my other comment replying to the parent comment, I did that (by accident) and I left this part out but what I wanted to do was go onto ask lemmy or some similar community, link the original post and start a discussion there. Women get to keep they’re space, and men joining the conversation in good faith get to chime in

    I also saw one idea floated a while ago is a bot that automatically crossposts from those women only comms into a general community, basically same concept as idea 1 just automated

    But like I said in my other comment, while I would love to hop into those conversations, it kinda destroys the idea of women only community as they’d probably eventually be pushed/drowned out of their own space

    Yeah one time I accidentally commented in one of the women’s space community, as I thought it was only a meme aimed at women. The mod both recognized it was an honest mistake, and noted it actually added the conversation so they kept it up but said something along the lines of “thank you this is great but this is also a women’s only space, please don’t do it again” and they were very respectful about it. So I just lurked in that comments section as to respect the rules

    Point is I too would probably be upset if my community was overran with “as a man”. What’s that one comic strip with the guy always going oh no, basically in the one I’m thinking of, they carve out their own niche, but then the majority comes in and kicks them out

    Like is my heart in the right place, yes I think so, but would it lead to a situation like that, also yes

    But I don’t see the point of people throwing a fit. Like go a general community like one of the Asks and throw it there. Like I fundamentally don’t understand people going “waaah I can’t be a part of something I didn’t want to be in”

    It reminds me of one of my friends upset he wasn’t invited to one of our line gaming get together, despite the fact they hate the game

    WHAT I MISSING I DONT GET IT



  • I’m assuming your on the younger side if you don’t drive and as a local youngin myself (early 20s) I don’t understand myself outside of being a vigorous rule follower

    -But a lot of cars get better mileage when in the 60-70 mph range (I think that’s roughly 100kph if memory serves, which it usually doesn’t) -It’s also just safer, traveling slower means less distance to stop, meaning you have a bigger window of reaction time before you put that crumple zone to the test -(I feel like a lot of EV owners forget this cus there’s no gas and clearly that’s the only thing in a car) but your car is a bunch of moving parts most importantly the wheels, so your brakes and tires will thank you -As another lemming mentioned seeing that one BMW pass you, then you get to catch up on them at a red light, 1 they used more gas, as motion is energy, and more motion needs more fuel. On top of that since they were driving like they’re doing it “for family” in a summer block buster starring Dwight “the stone” John. Meanwhile you get to glide nicely towards the red light giving your brake disks a light hug

    But keep in mind a difference in traffic speed is dangerous both ways. Yes the guy doing 120 in a 70 is a menace but so is the guy doing a 40 as they’re basically and obstacle. I usually do 70 (freeway speed limit for a stretch where I live) or 60 (speed limit for a majority of the freeway past a town) but sometimes everyone’s doing 90+ so I have to raise my speed. It’s why a lot of driving instructors will say that speed limits important but so is flow of traffic (tho flow of traffic outweighing the speed limit when determining your own speed has been very rare for me)

    TLDR, less money for gas and maintenance, and more importantly (wish I had more examples of the top of my head) safety







  • You’ve put into words what I’ve processing between self reflection and talking with some buddies so tysm. But yeah I did sort of ghost her (she knew this was a possibility when we spoke last as she wanted to be friends but I needed to go over some stuff in my head) as things just got too complex I figured it would be best

    And yeah she was the one who asked me out (tbh did and still does wonders for my self confidence) but like I said after I’m done with my studies it’s gonna a much more active effort than hoping a friend makes the first move on me


  • For sure

    And I kinda walked away and came back to this several times but like I said, my take away is I’m happy it happened cus I learned stuff about myself (need those hugs and snuggles) but also what I want in a partner: someone who can help me (she didn’t do it that often tho), play games with and be a goober, someone who respects my needs but also communicates theirs, mostly that’s in the context of getting physical where after two years I didn’t get to second base (unless you consider me putting my head on her lap and falling sleep, best shit ever)

    But am I sad I never got super physical beyond smooching and snuggles, yeah sorta, but at the same time I view sex and getting handsy as a physical way for you and your partner ti feel great, essentially share a moment together that’s good for all parties involved. But if she can break up with me a week before Valentine’s Day yeah she doesn’t meet the criteria then

    But back to your point 100%, the future Mrs. FlipFlop is out there and it’s just a matter of searching and trial and error and error probably. But for me I’m almsot outta college and I’ll probably turn it into a more active search


  • I know I’m in the shitposting community but here’s story time for anyone who needs it (myself included probably and this may not be be super coherent as I’m still processing and getting over the breakup, or the incident as I like to call it, a year later )

    This is also a loose connection of the thoughts so there’s probably a coherent idea in here somewhere

    But when I entered college I was trying to make some friends as my highschool buddies moved outta state (we still communicate and game over discord) but there’s this one girl and the only reason we became friends is we shared the first year seminar and an English class.

    Fast forward a bit and she asks me out and I take about a half a week to ponder (foreshadowing what I would call a snails pace in our relationship but frankly that an insult to the speed of snails)

    And she’s definitely had her fair share of some traumatic relationships which with some other mental stuff she didn’t always want physical contact and sometimes she was… paranoid isn’t the right word, but I absolutely poured my heart into this relationship because after all these years I finally got a gf so I definitely had some rose tinted glasses on some her trauma responses such as calling my affection love dumping (she said it was a manipulation tactic used basically as “I’m sorry I’m sorry I love you so much” and she saw it as that)

    Anyways there’s so much more but all in all I’m happy it happened but in retrospect and only in retrospect I’m glad it’s over

    But I believe the right one is out there somewhere and it’s a matter of looking and finding someone who matches my weird



  • Disclaimer: I’m in my early 20s and have had 1 relationship that ended last year, lasting about 2 or 3 years and she was the one who asked me out

    100% agree, I feel like you could make a case for fishing out red flags like if your partner will respect you on a first date or more extreme cases safety (feel like that’s cause for no second date tho) like maybe yeah. But tests, no. Bigger no if it’s in an established relationship as it shows there’s a huge amount of distrust

    I am super burnt out rn from my day so I hope there’s a coherent thought in there somewhere
