The sidebar is a summary. Please see our full rules wiki page. Mouse over for futher details.
Rule 0: Be civil
No personal attacks, witch-hunts, or inflammatory language. This includes calling or implying another redditor is a shill or a fanboy.
No racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic or other hateful language.
No trolling or baiting.
No calls for violence against any groups or individuals.
Any account less than 90 days old may be permanently banned on the first infraction of this rule.
Rule #1: No spam, porn, or facilitating piracy
Please see our full rules on piracy here.
Rule #2: No advertisements
Ads include, but are not limited to, chat/game server & community recruitment (i.e. Discord, TeamSpeak), contextless website or subreddit links, and listings on eBay or other sales platforms.
No affiliate or referral links: This includes Amazon, GMG tap links, Star Citizen, etc.
Developers must be verified before posting about their projects and, once they are, are not bound by rule #2.
Rule #3: No memes, PCMR language, or low-effort posts/comments
This includes contextless images/screenshots/GIFs as well as anti-platform or PCMR language such as "master race" and calling people peasants.
Low effort posts/comments and submissions not attempting to create discussion are prohibited.
Rule #4: No tech support or game help questions
Tech support questions can be posted in our stickied tech support thread or, if you need immediate assistance, in our Discord.
General game related discussion is allowed, but game-specific help requests (how to defeat a certain boss or level, what loadout is best for my character, etc) and basic questions (is a game co-op, does this game have controller support, etc) aren't. Those questions would be more appropriate for our Discord or the game's subreddit if it exists.
Rule #5: No questions about building/buying computers, hardware, peripherals, furniture, etc
This includes "Can my PC run this?" type questions, links showing off your computer build, or asking questions about builds.
Use Discord for all PC building questions. You can also try /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/SuggestALaptop, /r/headphones, /r/monitors, /r/mechanicalkeyboards, and /r/mousereview for more specific questions.
Rule #6: No game suggestions, friend requests, surveys, or begging.
Game suggestion requests and all their variations belong in the weekly game suggestion thread that runs from Fri - Sun. Alternatively, we also have a Discord channel where you can ask for game suggestions.
This includes group/clan recruitment. Our Discord has channels for finding people to play with.
We no longer allow surveys. You can try /r/samplesize.
Please don’t make requests for spare game keys or PC parts. GoFundMe and other fundraising posts are also prohibited.
Rule #7: No Let's Plays, streams, highlight reels/montages, random videos or shorts
In addition to this, Youtube links posted by new accounts are filtered due to channel spamming.
Rule #8: No off-topic posts/comments
Keep posts and comments related to PC gaming and the topic being discussed.
Rule #9: Use the original source, no editorialized titles, no duplicates
Submissions must use the original source when available. Sources that are pay-walled, not in english, and corporate earning calls are exempted from this rule.
Don't editorialize your titles. In the case of clickbait, or content lacking context, you may lightly edit the title. Read more here.
No duplicates.

I wanted to shoutout a game that's not popular enough: Cosmoteer
I'm no affiliated with the dev or anything i'm just someone desperate for less known indie game gems to get the attention (in my opinion) they deserve.
Cosmoteer is a 2D scifi ship manager. Imagine FTL + Starsector (if you don't know starsector shame on you).
What made me fell in love with it is that it doesn't have frustrating mechanics for a "manger" game. You don't need to gather fuel to keep going, your crew will constantly produce energy cells to power your components.
What makes it stand out is that at ANY point you can stop and redesign your entire ship on the spot. You destroy an enemy ship? Get the crew to work and disassemble it, gather materials and attach new pieces to yours.
Or just repair the enemy ship, send some of your crew in and have a second ship that follows you. I love bringing smalls ships with me to work as defense platforms when i'm in a fight, or as factories since you can mine asteroids and build small refineries for each material.
Progression is simply tied to the number of crew you can have and ships can get ridiculously large.
What it's missing is simply more to do outside of combat. You could trade but there's no trade economy, just sell what you don't need. More different quests, encounters, things to do.
Also i would argue some mods i find essential.
It has coop, pvp, mod support, editor, i mean... Give it a look, hopefully by getting more popular updates get more beefy

Weekly Game Suggestions Thread - November 08, 2024
Looking for game suggestions? Have a backlog and don't know where to start next? This thread is for you!
Tips to get the best suggestions
- Be detailed! If you're looking for a roguelike, say that. If your game must include zombies, you should probably mention that. The more detailed you are the better the recommendations will be.
- Are you limited by PC specifications or a budget? That's all good stuff to include.

'New Game+' - Anyone else never play it?
I always strive to get there, as it's motivating, but once I do, I just have no desire to run through the same game, though mobs are harder, without experiencing the upgrades along the way.
For me, the things you earn along the way, and the fact you have so little to begin with, are what draws me in.
I'd rather start over on a harder level, if not already maxed, from scratch.
^((Please upvote, just or the fact I didn't use 'unpopular opinion' yada yada))
