Mine are vehicle building games like Stormworks or Scrap Mechanic. It's so much fun to shoot at your friends with your latest nuclear drone while hiding in your bunker with a better defence system than Area 51 !

I'm very curious about your fav niche game genre !

(I'm sorry for my bad English ^^')

Wow. Your explanation was amazing (like the game). I'm gonna check it out !

Cool! Let me know if you have questions. On reddit we had r/dwarffortress, we should maybe ask one of the gaming communities if there is interest. Earlier I found lemmy.zip which is a lemmy instance geared towards gaming.

Ok, I will ! You seem to know a lot about the game, why not make a lemmy community yourself ?

[–] fazo96@lemmy.trippy.pizza 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha! I don't think I can moderate and run such a community. Also my instance here for Lemmy is something I spun up for personal use given I like to self host stuff as a hobby, and I don't think it would work well as a home for a community.

However I saw someone made a new tool to explore the "lemmyverse" at https://lemmyverse.net and using it I found there is an existing community for dwarf fortress that seems a lot more seriously set up than mine would be: https://lemmy.ml/c/dwarffortress

I subscribed! Last time I searched there wasn't one but maybe I just had to use a tool like this lemmyverse site that collects data about all communities across instances.

That’s a very useful tool !

I have tought about self hosting a website/ my own lemmy instance but isn't it dangerous to host things avaliable on the internet from your home ?

[–] fazo96@lemmy.trippy.pizza 2 points 1 year ago

There's a level of danger but it's possible to protect from it if you know what you are doing

I would recommend starting with Rimworld. It's a lot like Drawf fortress but it replaces the insane depth of Dwarf fortress with more accessibility for the average gamer. Think of it as a more streamlined Dwarf fortress. If you feel like you need more depth then there's always Dwarf fortress.

Ok, i will check it out too
