Oh man Astroneer is so good — but I don’t think it’s up OP’s alley. There’s no quests to speak of, or even goals really, besides the 1. tutorial stuff, and 2. overall “reach the end” — besides that, it’s up to you to be self-directed.
Context: my breath-of-the-wild loving partners didn’t much get into Astroneer, unless I specifically set them goals and they didn’t have to figure anything out for themselves. :P (Well, one of them, at least …)
I think the “map marker check mark” dopamine game is a whole different thing from ‘true’ open-world … well, that’d unnecessarily exclusionary. Neither one is truer than the other. But they’re definitely extremely different.
Anyway, OP, my suggestion in that vibe would definitely be the Fallout or Assassin’s Creed serieses. Or Horizon: Zero Dawn! Great sidequest-driven, exploration-heavy, gigaaaaaantic games, all of them!
When I was a kid, I was such a nerd, that I invented my own decimal timekeeping system.
Even wrote a little macOS menubar clock for it — I was dead-serious.
Edit: omg the website still works, even though I never put any real content there …
Edit 2: Found this old explanation I apparently put together in July 2010, according to my image archive:
“Pretty fly, for a wi-fi.”
I guess I haven’t seen that many, but there aren’t any comments yet, so I win by default!
It wasn’t English class before you got here — but, unfortunately, it turned out you missed the other English classes! No big deal, though, we’re happy to pivot.
So, let’s talk about the subjunctive …
DP-alt-mode, datarates, cabling are all vastly more complicated than you’d think. (I’ve spent easily 500 hours of my life, buying dozens of products and specific cables, running debugging hardware and software … getting Pro Display XDR’s (6k displays) working at longer distances, behind Thunderbolt docks, on multiple OSes, etc — it’s it’s never intuitive.)
Some absurd things that may actually help:
Failing various fixes with existing equipment, the cheapest next steps will be cabling — despite the high promises of USB-C, all cables are absolutely not created equal when it comes to high-pixelclock-DP-alt-mode:
tl;dr good luck this might be gon suuuuuck. )=
This is terrible news to me, as an OCaml’eer.
There goes all my potential cool project domains … 😭
I haven’t actually played it yet, but HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed has been in my Steam library for ages. That looks like it may scratch your itch …
I really miss some “toy soliders” 3D shoot-em-up that I can just baaaaaaarely remember from the 1990s … does anybody remember the game I’m thinking about? (There was definitely a series, I distinctly recall the name ending in “2” …)
I absolutely adored Invisible, Inc (by Klei — yes, of Don’t Starve & Oxygen Not Included fame — what a diverse bunch!)
It seems a little different from your usual vibe (it’s not an first/third-person shooter-y thingie; iirc it’s isometric and pixel-art?); but it’s easily the best stealth game I’ve ever played. :D
omg i’m so jealous of your Satisfactory group

Y’all have friends who will play multiplayer games with you?
… or who will deign to sit on Discord? 🥲
This is generally a massive problem with the fediverse in general — even Mastodon, although you can transfer your identity (i.e. if you link your old account, your ‘followers’ will follow you, and people searching for your old address will find you at your new one …) there’s still no way to transfer your content.
I’ve always got the vibe that the fediverse is heavily skewed towards privacy/temporary/“no permanent presence” folks, so it’s very low on the priority list to ‘fix’ that … but for a hoarder, digital archivist, quantified-self need like myself, it’s horrendous and scary.
sharpen the edges, and it’s a home defense weapon
