    terraria is even more fun with mods that remove grinding from the game so you’re only locked by boss kills and not time. that and calamity for some extra CBT joker-gaming

      They’ve got that (relatively) new gamemode that allows you to infinitely duplicate any item as long as you’ve found X numbers of it. I liked that mode a lot for my most recent play through.

        oh yeah explore mode is rad

        i wish more games gave you settings to control how much grind is in the game, No Man’s Sky isn’t really my cup of tea but it’s practically the gold standard for that, letting you change each grind setting individually on a scale from survival to sandbox

      I wish Starbound was a horizontal progression terraria :(

      I do like me some number go up but I prefer big changes like bigger projectiles or something proper like that over percentage bonuses. Or extra tools to do something actually fun like buildcrafting

        I feel like Starbound never really knew what it wanted to be and at one point they just shrugged and put a 1.0 bow on it lmao

        feel you on the upgrade/build stuff, gaming never truly recovered from diablo’s +8% poison damage vs 8% lightning resist shit when we could be doing more interesting choices like gun that shoots two bullets vs gun that shoots bouncing bullets type of shit
