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.

yeah, and i always come back just after a patch that cancels all my contracts and erase all my roads driven and jobsites discovered :\

That bothers me as well, and maybe an update can also break mod compatibility. I mean I'm grateful that the developers are still working on improving it! Anyways I think you can solve it when you use steam by forcing a specific version using the "beta" settings. This way I decide when I'm ready to receive major version upgrades :)

yeah. but that would depend on me remembering what version i last played on🤷.

oh well, time to hop in the cab and drive through a beautiful world I cant look at because taking my eyes off the road for 3 seconds will result in me rolling sideways down the highway lol
