This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

after long day at my job, i just wanna kick back and relax. maybe holding a controller instead of keyboard and mouse would be nice.

i like stardew valley but the experience with controller is just poor. it's just not designed to work that way (even with the controller mod). thus the question. Any cool ideas?

There a free to play online game called Palia that's pretty chill.

Not as farm intensive as stardew, but you do have a few plots to grow crops and you can refine them into jams and pickled goods, etc.

Can also cook your food into meals, give gifts to villagers to build up relationships, and each villager has a story and background to learn.

There is also mining, tree felling, plant foraging, animal hunting, fishing, etc.

It's a first person 3D world, and I haven't tried it with controller but I imagine it would be fine.

It's very chill, there is pretty much no negatives for any action or inaction that you take.

Oh also you can build your house on your plot of land and decorate it with a shit ton of decorative furniture and nic knacks.

Main storyline quests are not too bad either, there is a story to the world that develops as well.

Palia is fun, and they finally managed to get some of the worse of "all the floors disappeared in the village oh god help help" cleaned up!

I have so many goobi at my ranch!
