I’m a casual Half Life enjoyer. Spent some time on the subreddit and man is it off the wall.

Tunic has an interesting fandom. That writing system has inspired a lot of cool stuff. The subreddit is censored six ways from Sunday because of how spoiler-sensitive the game is, but I have to wonder what random passers-by must think.

The Undertale fandom has permanently put me off trying the game. It’s not really my kind of game anyway, but I enjoy the soundtrack.

Minecraft has to have had the biggest demographic shift in its player base I’ve ever seen. I bought the game when it was in beta. Most fans were adults who were able to give a random Swede 20 bucks via PayPal. After the game’s release, and especially after the console ports and eventual MS buyout, the average age got younger and younger. I miss the old Minecraft forums.

    I think the Ark community is a little weird in so far as it is an extraction shooter, but the majority of players are opposed to PvP.

    Dwarf Fortress has a community like a think tank of scientists all fucking around in game to find out new and novel ways that mechanics synergize with each other.

      The extraction game mode uses very different mechanics than the standard game that basically try to shoehorn the game into fornite.

      Ark pvp is basically competitive minecraft griefing + dinosaurs & guns. It’s not for the faint of heart.

      Ark’s developers wanted it to be an extraction shooter, they tried like hell to make it one. Ark’s players had very different ideas, and to this day still refuse to participate in the extraction shooter mechanics. The two have never coexisted peacefully. Despite the developer’s best attempts, Ark is not an extraction shooter. It is a survival crafting dinosaur-pokemon, and nothing the developer does will ever change that. They have even tried to use Aquatica to destroy the modding community. It didn’t take. The game belongs to the players now. We will never give up. We want survival crafting dinosaur-pokemon, and we will continue along those lines whether the developer likes it or not (they do not like it, to be clear).
