Feel free to let everyone know what you’re currently playing, recommend some great titles from yesteryear (especially on sale).
Finally played Persona 5 Royal. Absurdly good game, better than the hype. Third semester made me feel things like I haven’t felt in a video game since Undertale
Just finished Assassins Creed 2 for the first time in at least 10 years and I’m currently playing Brotherhood. This is also my first time playing through the DLCs

I just finished Yakuza Kiwami 2 and am planning to start Mass Effect 1 Legendary tonight (never played). I’m open to any tips for which talents and whatnot to pick (I know pretty much nothing about it).
Been playing FTL off and on for quite a while. Still trying to beat all the ships on hard.
Have you ever tried the Infinite Space mod? It removes the final boss and turns it more into a “see how far you can get” roguelike.
I’ve been playing Yakuza 5 and, as always, I cannot recommend this series enough. There’s a pretty large quality drop-off going from Kiwami 2 to Yakuza 3 Remastered, but at minimum Yakuza 0, Kiwami, and Kiwami 2 are all worth playing 100% and after the hurdle of 3 it gets great again.
The stories are well-paced crime thrillers, the characters are interesting, the combat manages to feel good without just being another Arkham clone, and the games being set in Japan makes it a fun experience to walk through as someone who doesn’t live there. They’re a blast. Not on sale at the moment, but the Steam Summer Sale starts tomorrow.
The shadowrun series, some of them are on the shorter side ( there are user made storys that you can get from the workshop) but the world / story telling of fantastic there are quirks with some of the earlier games but im really enjoying the series.
Been doing a proper run-through of Everspace 2, it finally came out of a two-year Early Access a few months ago, currently on 20% sale and has a free demo. Really enjoying it, it’s very Freelancer-esque and I’m liking the stop-start animated cutscene style.
I probably wouldn’t have tried it out without GamePass, but I’m so glad I did. I think the 3rd person works well with a controller layout, and I’m honestly having more fun flying here than in SW: Squadrons. I do admit it’s making me wish I had the full flight stick kit.
Street fighter 6. Love it. There is unfortunately no community for it on lemmy
Unfortunately we need to stay in bigger community groups until the level activity grows to a point where a community needs to break into smaller groups for specific games etc.
Alternatively you could make a c/StreetFighter and populate it while you wait for people to slowly come, I’ve been doing that with several lemmy communities, but I can only maintain so many postings per day. That being said, the rate which each of them have grown already is greater than I could have hoped.
You would also need to factor what instance to build it on, whether it is likely to get defederated and if its going to be one which people may check etc. However, if there is no other community yet, you just need to make sure its a simple enough domain to remember, etc. You really only need to post say twice per day.
