I also could borrow a copy of Let's go Eevee from a friend, but they told me it's not a great representation of Gen1.

I missed out on Pokemon as a kid, and want to get started. (beehaw.org)
 

On a whim, I picked up a used DS lite yesterday with the intent to play some games I didn't have an opportunity to play as a kid. I'd like to try play through as many generations of Pokemon as I can. The store I got the DS from had copies of Black, and SoulSilver so I got those, but I was wondering what games y'all would recommend from each generation that I could play on DS (or possibly switch, but I'd prefer playing mostly on the DS).

I know each generation had multiple versions, and I'm not sure if one version is much different or better than the others each generation.

What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often? in c/gaming@beehaw.org

It's not hidden, but I thoroughly enjoyed divinity original sin II. If you don't want turn based combat it might be worth checking out the Pathfinder games.

All of my friends are either programmers or are in I.T. I'm a lowly handyman who just happens to be tech literate enough to get by.

whats a game that you got significantly far into, only to realize you were doing something wrong or missing a key feature/ability altogether? in c/gaming@beehaw.org

And I thought I was weird for having my vertical controls switched for shooters. Lol.

I've had something I've been curious about, and I'm hoping an appropriate place to ask about.I'm a straight cis guy that grew up in a very conservative Christian house, and I've come a long way from who I was 10yrs ago. I'd consider myself an ally even though I don't have any LGBTQ friends or acquaintances (not by choice, I just don't get out much). I'd like a way to signal that I am a safe person, but am afraid of insulting people if I accidentally give the wrong vibe. I also dont want anything too overt to avoided the ire of my family. Im a big bald white guy with a beard, and I'm told I have resting angry face. I've noticed LGBTQ presenting folks that seem to get uncomfortable around me.

Is there a way I can signal that I'm a safe person without being too overt or sending the wrong message?
