As a certified magic lover, I hope to see you succeed.

Hope Baba is Hint helps you. I did not get it with these hints, but maybe you will.

Still Antimatter Dimensions, though not paying too much attention to it. I pop in and out of Baba Is You after solving (or failing to solve) a few levels. Still not sure how to break Baba and Keke out of jail.

Either

I would watch this on YouTube.

Still trucking on the !incremental_games@incremental.social with Antimatter Dimensions, lovely unfolding mechanics, would probably appeal to completionists because getting achievements actually gets you in-game bonuses. Also have been playing the Zachtronics puzzle programming/electrical engineering game Shenzhen I/O that could make a person a bit more comfortable with in real life assembly languages. Can’t figure how to bust out of prison in Baba Is You.

I never played Roblox and tend to be fairly out of the loop, and even I have heard about Roblox in connection with child exploitation. Hope those kids eventually get justice and their predators prevented from harming them.

Is this a game where I could reasonably discover how to progress by myself, as an average adult human with no special knowledge of history or technological progression? Or will I need to resort to a wiki? I’m cool with either but curious

Also clicked this post to see if someone would bring up Vintage Story. (Other reason was to see if someone brought up Luanti/Minetest.)

Curious what the point of modern Minecraft is, and what part is appealing to modern people. I pop on sometimes purely because friends are playing, and it can be fun, and somehow I don’t think this is what you mean. Well, people do play for fun, but you are probably thinking of a more specific thing that makes it fun.

Clicked on this thread purely to see if someone would bring up Minetest/Luanti. Glad to hear it seems to be going well.

+1 for FOSS game. Is the little Linux penguin a racer in the game?

It is something I have always been undecided about. The whole spell creation thing sounds like something I’d love, but I’ve heard the game can be frustrating, and aside from !hades@lemmy.zip roguelikes are not my thing. I should probably see if it has a demo or watch some early gameplay…

To me, it’s a game. I get some people might not think so because the game is all menus and numbers, with minimal other graphics (not counting achievement backgrounds). But for me, it’s fun. A lot of people like these number go up games where the mechanics are about increasing the numbers fast without much other intermittent gameplay. !incremental_games@incremental.social. It’s a whole genre. https://paperpilot.dev/garden/guide-to-incrementals/defining-the-genre/ might have some discussion on whether it’s a game or not, I forget, but it sure is a nice read about incrementals.

Also, there’s more, but it does take time to unfold.

I really miss the days guides were text with images instead of YouTube, YouTube, YouTube. Blah blah typical Lemmy anticorporate views, but more importantly, I’d rather just read and have something I can CTRL+F instead of having to sit through a video. At least transcripts help with trying to skip to the part I need. And at least people who don’t handle reading so well have a format someone is guaranteed to have made a tutorial in. But as a reader I am saddened by watch a video being what everyone suggests now for tutorials. Especially because nowadays, sometimes there is only a video, no book or article.

would also be appropriate for !automationgames@lemmy.zip

Antimatter Dimensions. Free, I have 1,000+ hours. Incremental/idle game though.

Thanks for the explanation!

I do not know the norms of shitpost communities, but as an outsider, I think it fits in perfectly.

Oh yeah, I do report every time now, but I still see way too many.

Am aware downvotes are not insults and I don’t report downvotes, but also aware a lot of people use them as a plain disagree button.
