That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

I like community builders and games that I can keep a world for years and grow, watch it evolve. I enjoy Rimworld. ARK evolved series is good.

Bonus if it's multiplayer capable LAN and not online.

Oxygen not included is nice but mentally taxing sometimes. I prefer laid back chill games with economy and farming. 2d or 3d doesn't matter. I don't mind trying indie games. Survival based games are nice. I'm not super pick and choose.

Give me your greatest joy in game form. I've heard Stardew Valley is good. I tried it, reminds me of a gameboy game. I could not get into the game. My character kept falling asleep like 14 times in a day.

A podcast in the background, hauling from Bucharest to Tallinn and then back to Frankfurt.

Promods is a game changer (and also the real economy mod)

ah goddamnit.. now I gotta reinstall one of the truck simulators, don't I?

shit.. I was in the middle of playing something else, too.

Heh whatever I do, whatever games I play, regardless of how much time has passed since I last played...in the end I always come back to ets2.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

yeah, and i always come back just after a patch that cancels all my contracts and erase all my roads driven and jobsites discovered :\

That bothers me as well, and maybe an update can also break mod compatibility. I mean I'm grateful that the developers are still working on improving it! Anyways I think you can solve it when you use steam by forcing a specific version using the "beta" settings. This way I decide when I'm ready to receive major version upgrades :)

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

yeah. but that would depend on me remembering what version i last played on🤷.

oh well, time to hop in the cab and drive through a beautiful world I cant look at because taking my eyes off the road for 3 seconds will result in me rolling sideways down the highway lol
