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.

ICARUS. Works perfectly under proton.

Runs like shit for me. I think it depends a lot on your GPU. For me it eats all the VRAM and then runs at 3FPS.

[–] Matty_r@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yep, thats fair. Its a pretty graphically intensive game.

It can run easily 60FPS, it's only after my 8GB of VRAM fills up that it turns to shit. Meanwhile some people with far less VRAM are fine. I think it's an Nvidia issue.

Ahh yep, I've had that before. Though it was Diablo 4 that had the vram issue on my 3070ti.

They did do some optimisations in the last few updates, but that vram issue needs to be fixed up by nvidia.

Shame though, I don't have it in any other games.

I never got it to work well on my laptop. Tried for ages, because it looks like a cool game that I could sink a LOT of time into, but the frame rates were always terrible.
