Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

I'm still miffed that we still can't filter for two tags at once in Steam, unless its just me who doesn't know how to do it. Everytime I filter more than one tag, it just acts more like an 'or' rather than an 'and'.
Augmented Steam does this I believe. Just tried it out and it seemed to work just fine (only things that matched all filters showed up).
But I prefer browsing in the Steam app. Do they have a plugin for the built-in Steam browser?
I don’t think so unfortunately. I just like browsing via my browser. Besides the features of Augmented Steam, it’s handy having my shortcuts and gestures on the browser compared to Steam itself.
Now do couch co op
They do, though?
There is a "shared/splitscreen co-op" filter option.
Combine that with a controller support filter.
I wish they’d expand on it and have a filter for player count in co-op. I have a game group of five and finding co-op, 5 player games is hard/most of them cap at 4.
The ones that don’t cap at 4 and aren’t requiring high dexterity (i.e. fps) are base building survival games all the way down— which are fine for the most part, don’t get me wrong, I just wish we could find something with the production quality and premise of Outlast Trials.
So far we’ve done: Conan Exiles, The Forest (1 & 2), Astroneer, Core Keeper, Return to Moria, Green Hell (may have been before we were at 4), Demonic, Deep Rock (with a 5 player mod), and a little REPO (which was good, but no progression system yet). I wanted to try Barotrauma but the puppet movement’s a bit janky for me.
I know there’s a third party search engine I can use, but it’s sooo full of junk it’s hard to find anything worthwhile.
Looking forward to The Big Walk, and am keeping an eye on Dune when it comes to consoles.
Do you know about co-optimus.com? Is that the "third party" you mentioned?
I don't know of anything better. Setting your filter and sorting by user rating is pretty effective. Aside from that I sort by release date and check back every now and then.
That's the one.

I just now noticed they had a toggle for 'Released,' so I don't have to see a bunch of TBD games. I'm just gonna start doing what you're doing and keep an eye on the list once in a while. Thank you for the tip!
I need a search option for "most obscure controller support" so I can speedrun them with my Dark Souls certified Keytar and 7 piece drum set
But really searching by, and adding more accessibility to games is good, more accessibility is never bad. Glad we're not listening to capital G Gaaaamers who think adding things to make games easier somehow detracts from their ability to perform (admittedly very cool) frame-perfect dodges or somehow means their practiced twitch perfect shot in CS2 is somehow meaningless because more people can..checks notes play the game
You can rebind controllers in steam or use external tools like x360ce to rebind thing like analog axes to buttons or vice versa
I know there's a lot of Steam haters out there but simple shit like this is why they're on top.
Mouse only for certain visual novel games? 😜
Where's my left hand only filter??
Learn to use a mouse left handed, it's worth it. ;)
Using your joystick lefthanded is a completely new experience.
Switch between left and right and you've got a party!
Really cool to see them add this.
There are probably even more categories they could add but one step at a time.
Nice, the search function, while okay, has always been far too limited in my experience. Can't wait to check this out.
Reminds me how Diplomacy is not an Option is seriously hard even in the lowest difficulty "walk in the park", they really should nerf it
Atomic Heart was like that, too. Tons of difficulty options to customize your experience, but no matter what combat always felt like a punishment.
And still not by voiced languages.
