Either

I would watch this on YouTube.

Still trucking on the [email protected] 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.

+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 [email protected] 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. [email protected]. 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.

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

[email protected] might also be interested in this.

I had no idea we did that! This link should let you open it.

Your comments made me curious what our threshold for “too new” is, my first guess being 5 years. (Thanks XKCD.)

It’s actually

catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game

according to our sidebar. But you pose a good question if Early Access release counts as release, especially if it’s been in EA for this long.

Ooo, fellow Linux gamer. Did you check ProtonDB to see if they have a fix for your issue? I’m hyped for Timberborn but also have a personal rule to never buy Early Access. Also, we would like this post over in [email protected].

I just found [email protected], might want to add that to post body

This is probably a decision for someone else to make. I would not be a primary contributor to any strategy community, at most maybe a post every two months or so when one crosses my feed.

Wait why? I thought we were trying to consolidate away from lemmy.world because it’s the biggest and we want to help others grow to its size, and there are lots of strategy communities not on .world. The other listed ones seem specific to subgenres, but [email protected] is general and not .world.

(I have no beef with .world aside from it being the biggest when we’re trying to shoot for decentralization, in which case 20 big instances to choose from is much better than 1 big instance and a few medium and a bunch of small ones—if you strike down a big one, which situation leaves the most servers and content for everyone? It’s not .world’s fault and I have no animosity towards them. Just happens that they are the biggest so they really do not need any help right now.)

Thanks! Was definitely hoping to eventually have a strategy community to lurk in. Interested in the genre but do not know enough to feel comfortable aiding in their revival past an obvious strategy game post that comes across my feed once in awhile, or their consolidation.

Just checked the links, since you said you did not crosspost.

It’ll say it was crossposted if it is the same link, even if someone else posted it and it was years ago. This is not perfect of course, sometimes I have posted the same link in three relevant communities and you would think each post would have two links: one for each other community, but each post only has one link.

Clicked to ask if you crossposted to discounted game communities, was pleased to see I didn’t actually need to ask because you have already done that.
