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.

    Starbound and Terraria come to mind. Also Planet Centauri and maybe Stardew Valley.

    Also Minecraft if a DRM-free version other than the Pi Edition (which is abandoned) ever comes.

      Since when did Minecraft have DRM? The only real DRM on it is logging in with a microsoft account that owns the game. You don’t even need to use the official launcher.

        Afaik, the Java version is only accessible with an account, 3rd party launchers potentially being considered cracking means. Bedrock version is tied to its platforms’ DRMs, like Win10’s Microsoft Store validation and a hard-to-access folder which changing permissions is a nightmare, and Google Play Services’ validation on Android.

        As for console versions, major consoles have DRM to their games by default, with a case like PS Vita games even requiring the user to create a dummy validation file by launching the game once to be able to use backups (also iirc all Vita cartridges have a self-explanatory gro0:/DRM/ folder). And as for cartridge overall, be them Nintendo’s, Sony’s, etc., being hard to access their contents due to using non-standard could be considered DRM, and some cases formally considering as in the DMCA.

        So sounds to me like it has DRM in most versions, yeah.
