Combat is supposed to be the core gameplay loop. If you feel like that’s an unwanted interruption, I think there’s a deeper problem where the game has left you feeling like you don’t want to play its core loop.

It sounds like you’ve had bad experiences with games that just didn’t make their systems engaging enough to not feel repetitive. That was true of some older titles, but modern turn-based RPGs have learned a lot since then.
CrossCode - Console Release Date Trailer
One of my favorite tracks on the OST, and I love how they’ve synced all the cuts to the music. It’s a fantastic sizzle reel showing off little bits and pieces of everything that’s cool in this game.
I absolutely do not want Windows.
An Android device doesn’t run my Steam library.
I’m aware of Portmaster, but that’s a manual process that is only possible for certain engines. Whereas SteamOS can just run all my games.
What are you hoping to get from SteamOS that you aren’t able to get from any other Linux distro?
Hi. I’m the guy that wants a low-spec model that fits in my pocket. I exist. Just gimme something that can run my favorite 2D indie games and I’m happy.
I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus last year and ended up loving it far more than my Deck, which is actually just gathering dust still. And now I dream of seeing SteamOS in that size.
But nothing you’re describing will fit in that kind of form factor. So if you want to enforce minimum specs, you’re really telling me I can’t have my dream handheld.
I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus last year, just an impulse buy because it was on sale dirt cheap. Ended up liking it so much I wish I’d bought a more expensive model with analog sticks.
Meanwhile, my Deck gathers dust because it’s just too bulky too fill the void left behind by the GBC/GBA/DS I grew up on.
First manufacturer to get SteamOS running on a form factor that fits in my pocket gets my entire bank account. Doesn’t have to be beefy, just needs to run all my favorite 2D indie games.
I definitely feel like my tastes have narrowed with age. Or maybe it’s just that I’ve found a few games to really really fall in love with, and not much else pulls my attention away from grinding those top favorites.
When I was a kid, I could only get a new game every few months or so, so I kind of had to make the most of each one. Now I’ve got several hundred games in my Steam library, and more than half of are unplayed, because they don’t grab me enough to boot them up over playing another ranked online set of riichi mahjong today.
Anything 2D should run on a toaster.
I’m legally obligated to shill CrossCode as the greatest RPG ever made.
There are definitely plenty of games, especially those with harsh skill curves, that do benefit from knowing what you’re getting yourself into.
Undertale, but at this point you’d have to have lived in a cave for the last decade to not know most of the spoilers by now.
Almost everything I play is just 2D indie games, practically any 2D game should run just fine on that.
There are so many great 2D games I could rattle off that I almost don’t know where to start. But since you mentioned RPGs, I am legally obligated to shill CrossCode at any opportunity.
Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary
Shame about nearly everything else Sega has done to the franchise since.
I’m here, not planning on leaving any time soon. But I’m also acknowledging that Lemmy can’t fully be everything Reddit was, not without a Reddit-size userbase.
I’m saying that when the problem is a low userbase, responding with “you’re spoiled for even wanting niche hobby spaces, and it’s your fault for not putting in an excessive amount of energy that isn’t even likely to pay off (because the userbase isn’t there)” isn’t productive.
I never said I don’t want to be on Lemmy. But when people talk about the downsides of this platform’s still niche userbase, it isn’t productive to jump in and admonish them for just not trying hard enough to manifest a critical mass of users through sheer willpower.
Okay, now you literally are saying I didn’t try hard enough.
This is not my first account (it’s also not anywhere close to a year old, not sure where you got that idea). I’d tried to start a few communities over on kbin.social, but that’s gone now.
I don’t have the energy to spend several hours a day flooding threads nobody will engage with, just in the hopes that if I keep it up forever eventually one of them might get a reply or two. It’s not that easy, and it’s patronizing to act like that’s such a simple solution I should’ve thought of.
Fighting games and Riichi Mahjong. !fgc@lemmy.world and !mahjong@lemmy.nerdcore.social exist, but are pretty barren. I’d also previously tried to start communities for them on kbin.social, but that’s gone now.
Also arcade-style versus puzzle games, but those are so dead these days that even on Reddit they didn’t have an active sub.
There’s going to be a modding API just like the original, so if he’s not in the base game someone can always port him in.
