Tbh I play the hell out of some Kairosoft games on mobile <_< I love watching my little guys thrive.

BG3 is a huge exception. It's more popular by far than most games of the sort. And still only two of the dozen gamers I work with has played any of it, and they are both done with it.

all these gamers glowing about how great it is

Where? If you mean online, yeah, online discussion and gaming publications focus on more complex games that more serious gamers are playing. There's just more to say about them. And news sites are gonna pay more attention to exceptions to the norm like BG3. None of the many gamers in my life are talking about it. If you're hearing about BG3 and other huge, complex games regularly, it's because you are spending time in spaces where and with people who care about them. Because it's not just everywhere.

Oh yeah I know that, it just seems like these type of games are super popular.

I honestly think that's just your circle. That does not describe the majority of the gamers I know or have known. I have always been in a minority for wanting to do math in my free time and have to find places online to discuss these games because usually nobody else in my life is playing them. Most of the people I know who played BG3 did so because it is popular, and they avoided as much of the math and homework as possible. And most of them are done with it.

There are tons of games that don't require that sort of knowledge base or study investment. It's a minority that do. But you're on Lemmy. This is a self selected community of extra thoughtful nerds. This community is more likely to be excited about games with homework than your average gaming community. I do genuinely love the research part of complex games. I like crafting builds and planning battles. I loved both Divinity Original Sin games and will love BG3 when I get there.

But sometimes I do just want a game for my hands to play while by brain takes a break. That's why I spent most of the summer with Earth Defense Force 5, a 9/10 space insect exploding experience. Highly recommend it if you don't want to fuck with the details.

Oops no rights for anyone else. We overcorrected. Gotta back up some.

I live in a sort of trucking hub area in the American Midwest. There are so many trucking companies with "trans" in their name it's ridiculous. There's an enormous Transworld depot around here somewhere. Truckers are an interesting group.

And the weight distribution is somehow unpredictable no matter how many times you carry one.

Maybe her third thumb is just a little slender. If I position my hand like that, I can almost reach. I don't think hands with those proportions would be impossible. It's probably a little wonky genetically, being her third arm and all.

Hashtags work on a wide range of platforms and double as search terms. It probably sticks in the mind of the average passerby better than website and gets people to your message about as well overall.

It's extra impressive. It got 15 fingers right!

Shot on VHS cassette tape! A lot of cheap, weird movies were shot on video cassette. And I love them. Tales From the QuadeaD Zone is an absolute classic. I could watch a lot more of them, but my wife isn't the same caliber of enthusiast.

My real problem is watching too many random bizarre trash and z grade movies instead of popular things. Very few names can outweigh the allure a movie being shot on video o_o I love shot on video movies.
