The Indie Chat & Recommendation Thread (cdn.imgchest.com)

“Inspired” by the Square-Enix putting their foot in their mouth thread, I thought it’d be interesting to make a little thread about indie games. People always talk about wanting to try different, cheaper titles, but with how hard it is to get good gaming news and the state of advertisement/marketing, word of mouth tends to...

I’ve never been able to get it to launch on Linux (Ubuntu 23, 16 GB, AMD Ryzen)

Definitely No Man’s Sky

It was bad at launch, sure, but the expectations of the game were way outta proportion to what a game could deliver on

Accessibility. People who can’t grab or use an XBOX controller with their hands need to use custom controllers, including things like foot pedals.

Rogue Legacy! You are a knight invading an evil wizard’s castle. When you die, your children take up your mantle and try again.

Dying means you get to try again with a descendant that has different quirks, like “being left-handed” or “dwarfism”

Choose Four Consoles to Have the Largest Selection of Games

So I’m reassessing my entertainment center since seeing the Video Game History Foundation’s report. Since the study it’s got me thinking, if you could pick any 4 consoles to have hooked up to your TV (4 becuase I’ve got 4 inputs to my TV) which would you pick and why? I will accept modded consoles as answers too.

Wii (which naturally includes Gamecube) Switch (with its N64, SNES, and NES emulation) XBox 360 Steam Deck (Steam and all other Pc games, including emulators)

"Have you heard of the critically-acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 Online? It's got a trial that's free to play all the way up to level 60, and includes all of A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Heavensward expansion. Join Eorzea today!"

FF14 has PS4/PS5/PC crossplay, worth trying out imo. (Note that the base game story before Heavensward is p slow, and you have to upgrade to a paid subscription to invite friends to parties)
