I really like the new art styles on the titles, it’s not Steam right?

Mini Metro is my daily brainteaser. Subnautica is truly original wonderful exploration game. Portal goes without saying. Prey was fantastic, such a broad scope… survival horror, puzzle, exploration (many rave about Dishonored by the same team, but that never grabbed me).

Believe it or not steam allows you to provide your own box art for games

So naturally, there’s a site where people share custom artwork https://www.steamgriddb.com/

That looks to be Steam, going by the bottom right.

Thank you! I spent way too much time trying to get cool looking art work. The other person is correct, I used steamgriddb for them.

Mini metro is fun, starts out casual and always ends frantic.
I’ve been playing Subnautica on and off for years. Still haven’t beat it. I love just swimming around and getting caught up in whatever I decide to try and build.
Prey, Dishonored, BioShock, System Shock, DeusEx etc are all great games in thier genre

I literally only play on slow, and I can barely keep up with my notifications. How do you people live?

And it’s seemingly random which notifications pause the game

It wouldn’t be a Paradox game without an event popping up at the absolute wrong time with no way to know if it will pause the game. It’s just part of the RN… ahem fun of the game. :)

I don’t understand the planet growth mechanics in Stellaris. So the game speed is never an issue for me. I always just get confused eventually and stop playing.

What about it don’t you understand? Maybe I can help explain.

In my last game, the Ilhome cluster event with those fanatic purifiers happened, and I was playing some militarist, communist space cacti. I had refugees welcome as the fanatical purifiers captured a quarter of the galaxy. Then I declared war on them and quickly overwhelmed them, since they had overextended. During the 10 years of peace after the war, I was constantly busy ordering new districts and buildings build, so much that I regularly ran out of minerals, despite buying 1000 minerals each month.

So basically, late game there’s too much paperwork for the turbo setting.

Project Wingman really surprised me. I thought it’d be a sad knockoff, but I think I actually prefer it over the original now.

And Prez is <3!

Agreed. It’s an excellent example of what indie devs can do.

Frostpunk! That game is sooo good. One of my top games. Took me a sec to get into the first time I played it and then didn’t touch it for a long time. I went back and played it again and got sucked into it. I have hundreds of hours in it now. Love it so much I even got the boardgame.

Check out thier other game, “This war of mine” if you haven’t already. It’s a 2D survival game.

I played the hell out of that game for a long time. It’s definitely one of a kind in the best way possible.

Isn’t AM2R one that being patient actively hindered access to?

Other people took it up and have been updating it since it was released. It has a launcher now, and is super simple to find online.

Oh that’s good. I kept my copy from like the week between release and takedown partly out of preservation sake, but I’m glad it’s more accessible. I remember slipping a copy to friends when it was unavailable

Yeah just search for ‘AM2R launcher’ and you’ll be playing in no time.
