Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Dark path? My experience is that it's a more narrow but brighter path.

What I mean is that if you take your time, vet the cash grabs and ones that are perpetually in version 0.02a, then there are some real gems out there.

I don't play all the games I can anymore instead just focusing on ones I really like. Indie games are my goto anymore.

I have 200 or so hours in modded Fallout 4 GOTY that was bought on sale for like $40.

Factorio, just passed the 1200hr mark and just got into modding. $20 a few years ago.

I planned to write more but re-read your comment and realized you're joking....I need more coffee.

Indie titles are nice, but There's really only so many pixel-art or cel-art style games I'm willing to play. And while, sure, there are noteable exceptions here and there, they're just that. Exceptions.

I know why they do it, but my point is that I feel there is a missing middle in gaming.
