List of specific video game communities on the Threadiverse, feel free to comment with more

When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic. So I’m not including the various !games@instance or !gaming@instance links.

EDIT: There seems to be an issue with kbin that is causing problems with my links and sending some people to the kbin.cafe search results for the community. Will probably make a new post and link to it here when the problem is solved, or copy/paste my source text on a different account.

I know about the following and will be adding to this list with links people comment with:

As for platforms, there are a load of retro ones which can be added, not sure if you want to include those?

Elevator7009,

Added. I don’t mind including retro platforms. Also, Lemmings wins the best URL on the Fediverse forever ([email protected])

@floppy@rabbitea.rs avatar

OK, so will probably miss loads, but try these for starters. Where I’ve found multiple for the same platform the more active ones are nearer the top.

Elevator7009, (edited )

Before I add these, would you mind putting all the ones for the same platform, even if it's less active? I added all the ones I know of so it feels weird to suddenly be more exclusive about it. I'm aware there are some posts here that probably have communities on other instances that aren't listed, but I don't expect each submitter to actively know about every single community for their game. The reason I'm requesting this of you is because you actually went and found all the communities, and I want to include the ones you chose not to submit due to size as well. If you're not willing to go get the ones you chose not to submit, I'll go hunt them down myself, but to be honest I'd rather not so I'm making the request of you.

floppy,
@floppy@rabbitea.rs avatar

No problem, have added all the ones I know about.

Elevator7009,

Added, thank you so much for finding them!

keanu0396,

There’s !battlebitremastered too!

Elevator7009,

Added. By the way, the way to make that a clickable link is [email protected], just like what the sidebar of your home instance says. In general, follow the pattern !communityName@instanceName.

keanu0396,

Brilliant - thanks for the tip there, I occasionally forget to refer to the instance!

A couple of video game specific communities I’m subscribed to that I don’t see here already:

!destiny

!diablo

And then this one is a genre based one:

Retro game news, edited by yours truly. (I gotta update this thing; it's been a couple of days.)

I run both !currentlyplaying and !photomode

Currently Playing is a place to discuss what you’re currently playing and Photo-Mode is a place to share in game screenshots and photographs you’ve taken whilst playing.

Sorry if the links are messed up. I’ve got no idea the right way to link at this point. The whole system seems a bit of a mess.

Anticorp,

Why no Zelda!

Elevator7009,

It's already there. !legendofzelda

Anticorp,

Thanks! I just checked it out and even learned something in the 1 minute I was there.

I guess custom campaign stuff keeps NWN going? How's the game out of the box? I don't really hear about that one compared to other Bioware games. Additionally, how's the enhanced edition? And has anyone modded in decent controller support?

Jaysyn,
@Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

Yes, decent for 21 years old.

EE has unlocked a ton of stuff for modders & module developers. Beamdog has basically turned over development of the PC version to the community & it's been busy unhardcoding & adding new functionality, the biggest & most obvious change being recently providing an update for custom shaders & having 8 class slots instead of just 3.

I have no idea about the controller situation.
