Well I have a few hours into Satisfactory now and enjoying it. What have you all been playing?

Brought back memories of squeezing as much ram as possible for a game and a ram drive to speed things up.

Out of this community.

I made it for the hell of it. A way for people who play games. Feel old. Do not have much time to play. May have too much time to play. Are looking for more co op or engaging games. Are looking for high quality engaging content. Are looking to recapture the excitement of waiting for the cassette tape to load. Are waiting for the game to download to then play. Are looking to scratch an itch gained in days past. Remember community and what it can mean. Want to build and think.

Thoughts?

I want to build a community that just understands each other and respects each other and wants to enjoy talking about things like it was the early internet.

Looking at above comments I may be an idealists. :)

Been busy as usual. Just started the installation of Satisfactory for a play through. Should take me until Christmas ๐Ÿ˜

What is on other people's radar or what is currently being played?

So I made this group to:

  1. See what would happen.
  2. See how many gamers are out there that enjoy a more mature approach to talking about games.

This is meant to be a pretty chill community and welcoming to all. Basically be a good human to all other humans.

Also this allows players to potentially find each other to play as it gets harder to find time and people when you may not want to be competitive all the time.

All games welcome, electronic or analog. All people welcome.

Swear to god, this thing is amazing. You just put OnionOS on it, which is super simple. You then put your roms on, which is ALSO super simple. And then you play your games.....which, running them is super simple, but it doesn't make me suck any less at Pacman! JUST EAT THE DOTS!!! NO DON'T RUN INTO THE GHOST!!! Great.....now the ghost ate you. Are you happy, you rotund yellow puck??? What? No don't censor me! I said puck!!!! PUCK!!! NO NOT FU.....nevermind.

Still though. Get a Miyoo Mini Plus.
