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.

It's a great game and all, but.. is it just me or is it a bit harder than would be expected? I would consider myself to be pretty decent at the genre, but I will usually die a stupid death on something not previously encountered while exploring, and since it takes a while to reach that stage again, I'll usually put it aside for a while and do something else.

Is it just me?

nah it's HARD. I just savescum constantly when I play it cuz I enjoy going deeper than the whole roguelike way would ever let me

Ok, makes sense then. Live and drink, friend.
