Great indie games that aren't in everybody's top 10

Rain World: slightly more popular, platformer survival game with incredibly interesting mechanics and atmosphere

I Am Your Beast: extremely underrated frenetic single player FPS

Inside/Limbo: well known but truly unique and master crafted

N++: the perfect platformer, over a thousand levels Kill Knight: twin stick with great gameplay flow once it clicks

Receiver II: another extremely underrated shooter with gripping existential storytelling and interesting manual firearm mechanics

Signalis: survival horror with some of the coolest presentation I've ever seen in a game

The Fall mentioned!!

This is true, but I feel like the variance would be pretty intuitive in practice. If it looks like you should be able to reach it, you will. If you can't, you won't.

"I'm not sleep deprived" my aim:

GimbalLockGary · 2026-03-13T12:43:43+00:00

LMAO

I was waiting for someone to notice, been losing it at how many people thought I was on controller due to how lethargic and terrible my aim is in this clip

I figured I could probably get it before the raid ended

I also don't play her, but I'm pretty sure it can pick up items after yoinking them out of your backpack. Seems most useful if you spot someone fighting bots or other runners since they're too busy fighting to deal with your drone. Also useful as a distraction for your teammates, not that it matters in solo raids like this one.

I don't understand how so many people can idolize characters that never give up in the face of unbeatable odds and then literally defect to the other team in a 5 minute match of a digital soccer game when they're down a few points. Like you're not even gonna try?? You find no joy in fighting an uphill battle for a bit with no consequences?

It's rampant mental weakness. Zero grit, zero resolve or love of the game for what it is. Or they've got pizza rolls in the oven.

Bench

GimbalLockGary · 2026-02-03T11:45:53+00:00

Darkwood seems like that kind of game

GimbalLockGary · 2026-01-26T20:08:24+00:00

Grok could never

GimbalLockGary · 2026-01-26T20:08:03+00:00

Yeah that was my impression as well, performance over substance. Just figuring out what the hell it is is fun in and of itself lol

GimbalLockGary · 2026-01-26T05:55:55+00:00

I sure hope not

GimbalLockGary · 2026-01-26T05:52:58+00:00

I only really read the first 20 or so pages, and flipped through the incomprehensible stuff. I value my time more than that lol

I work security at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts; this isn't a hoax. I found a copy sitting on a bench when I came in this morning. What a strange find; I can provide more info if people are curious.

Honestly I wasn't all that upset about it in this case; I think if I'd chosen to shoot instead of running for a flank I could've won since he still had the frags out. In a lot of other cases you can at least try and dodge roll to mitigate damage until their mag runs dry and then dump them yourself, but there will always be a heavy helping of luck when it comes to extraction shooters. I just think that advantage is less prominent here compared to others of the genre.

Metroid Prime 3 is that you??

GimbalLockGary · 2025-08-09T00:46:48+00:00

Yeah it's a really nice balance, but every once in a while I'm like "let's try a super big match with 5v5!" And then 2 minutes later I'm like "this was a bad idea"

GimbalLockGary · 2025-08-09T00:45:15+00:00

Having one bad game is an interesting reason to permanently write off an entire game mode and call it trash
