There are a lot less people on here, but I feel a lot more keyed in and engaged with the communities I am a part of on here. It's nice!

What a great set of resources! Especially GoL for us Linux gamers. Thanks for the callout!
I've yet to start using it myself, but I've seen Bluesnews suggested a lot! Apparently he's old blood in the gaming news reporting area, and it's been run by this one guy since it's inception in 1996. It's very active still, constantly reporting. Link: https://www.bluesnews.com/
Primarily my PC. AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Radeon RX 580, 16Gb RAM, running OpenSUSE as my OS. I have a PS4 I keep around basically just for Bloodborne at this point, and a Switch for Pokémon and Monster Hunter. Less so the second, now that the newer releases are coming to PC.
Beasts of Maravilla Island! I got it in a Humble Bundle recently. I didn't intend to play it, but I got bored of everything in my library one night and started rolling through the games I got in that bundle.
It's a fun game in the same vein as Pokémon Snap. You are the granddaughter of an explorer, headed out to photograph the wildlife of an island he discovered. The story is short and sweet, and the environments are plenty of fun to explore! The creature designs are cute. Best of all, the price is right. It's only $10 on Steam, now that the bundle is gone.
True enough, but this project has a pretty clear roadmap with planned features laid out and the developers themselves raised the concern of giving new players the wrong idea in their FAQs about a Steam release.
I'll definitely be checking it out for myself, though.
This looks like a very interesting project! But it looks like it's still in pre-alpha. That's not a bad thing, it's just important to note for anyone thinking of trying it so they don't get the wrong idea about the state of the game. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it!
Frog's Theme slaps. Honestly, the whole soundtrack for this game is incredible.
My main NCSoft experience is with the OG Guild Wars, what an amazing game. They don't make 'em like they used to... Lol!
#1 has gotta be Guild Wars 2. The content is engaging and fun, I adore the combat, and the COMMUNITY is the best! Such friendly folks there. It's definitely the MMO that has held my attention longest, and I recommend it to literally everyone. It's free to get started, so you can decide if it's for you without any monetary cost. Then, the price of the game is the cost of the expansions. No subscriptions like other MMOs, or xpaks + subs (looking at you, WoW!).
#2 is WoW. 😅 Been playing it since I was a kid. My whole family plays, actually, which is how I got into MMOs to begin with. It irks me that there's a substantial sub fee plus the cost of the new xpaks every time. Especially since I got back into it, I was going to hit max level before I picked up Dragonflight but the game actually stopped me from doing so. Couldn't go the last 10 levels to max until I bought the expansion.
#3 right now has to be Dungeons and Dragons Online. DDO is a lot of fun! I love the "dungeon master" narration of quests and things, I think it's a great gimmick.
Outside of that, my tier list really falls apart, lol. I have ESO, but I haven't given it enough time to actually decide if I like it. FF14 seems so much fun, but it's also a sub fee game and... I only have space in my life for one of those right now. 😅
Reaper Necro, so much fun! Nigh unkillable in overworld content as long as I'm actively engaging.
Personally, so far I adore it. It doesn't scratch that... Endless content consumption itch that Reddit did. There are a lot less users, so there's a lot less "fresh" content piling up on my home feed for me to scroll through and huff air out my nose at.
It's been a bit of an adjustment, but now that I'm more used to it it's definitely a welcome change. I find myself actively engaging more instead of just scrolling by, contributing instead of lurking.
