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.


I’ve always been a fan of hearts if you can get 4 people together. If not, rummy or bridge? I guess it depends how offline you mean.
He said “linux friendly”. How many linux users do you know with THREE irl friends?
Lol. For those rare Linux users with three friends, Deeprock Galactic is also a delight on SteamDeck.
