This thread is a fishing minigame.
How about if your fishing trip involves getting there via intergalactic star cruiser, and casting into waters where no one has fished before?

No Man’s Fly
Still boring, try again
Excellent comparison because NMS includes auto fishing so you don’t have to do that shit.
Oh I’m not grinding for anything. I just fish a few times on each new world with water out of whimsy.
Stardew Valley has an OK fishing mini game and I’m not afraid to say it
I agree on the basis that it’s a) fine and b) not mandatory in any meaningful sense.
I ain’t going to the desert on a rainy afternoon on the 19th of Spring to catch a legendary fish or whatever. I got PINEAPPLES and a WIFE.
ill never play stardew valley you cant make me
Is a man not entitled to the fish off the bow?
No! says Nintendo, it belongs to the merchants!
No! says Capcom, it belongs in your crafting menu!
No! says Sega, it belongs in the log!
incorrect
every game should have a fishing minigame by law

You get to pet the dog or cat. And you get to fish. It’s the law.
You should get to hug the bear, too. And just hug cute things in general. The world needs more hugs going around.

Absolutely. And I’m not even saying you shouldn’t get gored when you pet the big spicy kitty but there should be the option at least.
Mmmhmm! Let me hug the bear, if your game is already full of dumb ways to die! And let me boop all the snoots!

I like the way it’s implemented in Rimworld especially with the bugs. Many animals will retaliate when you try to tame them. Bugs will just incessantly attack you right away but you can still tame them if your pawn has sufficient skills and can doge and tank enough hits.
Mmmm, me too. I love the Rimworld taming system. (Did you know, if you can down a revenging animal without killing it, you can tend to its wounds, it might magically bond with the doctor and self tame, and failing that, now the animal is trapped in your animal hospital or your barn and you can try again?) You can make anything your pet, assuming you have someone with the skills and you get good luck. I frequently tame bears just because I think Rimworld bears are adorable, not necessarily because they’re useful. (Have you seen the Animal Cuddling mod? It can be adjusted so your pawns will hug, and be approached for hugs by, literally anything in your menagerie of pets, but by default it already lets you hug a lot of odd critters because it’s based on relative body size. It’s adorable.)

I think they nerfed the taming by healing at some point because I remember it being incredibly effective with larger animals, and you’d get a thrumbo on the first try almost every time.
I love that they added so many more animals with Odyssey, love just having a swarm of crows.
Yes the rimworld bears are very cute.
I will have to check that mod out.
It’s a shame that you can’t tame any of the anomalies, other than the ghouls but that’s just a human basically.
Look I don’t have time to deal with this if I just vaguely gesture towards the direction of the exit will you leave?
no


sir, your boat policy does not cover damage from Horse Majeure
Please leave me alone
Are you trying to cast them out? I’m not taking the bait!
WE’VE GOT A FISHERMAN OVER HERE!!!
Uhhh look I assure you I do not like fishing, I only like puns, there is a large difference, let us not fight between each other

The fishing in ffxiv is fucking brutal. My brother in Hydalyn what the fuck do you mean this fish is only available every 19 days for 6 minutes (yes that’s real time, fish is Purse of Riches)
Ragebait for me specifically. Great post
I used to fish in worlo warcraf while chatting with friends for up to ten hours a day
I have autism
I watch shows usually on the other monitor and listen for the splash
Autism, meet ADHD.
i think its the most fun part of stardew. when theres no real “game” to it or feedback like in terraria i do think its boring
Admittedly I certainly have not played Stardew since it’s not really my type of game but I think if you’re going for cozy life sim fishing is fine since cozy life sim with not that much going on is the entire gameplay loop anyways, I can make peace with fish gamers, however I do think Stardew valley should be renamed to fishing valley,
i remember liking it a little, but ultimately resorted to mining cause you can slash monsters and stuff. like fishing and mining were still my most done activities in my old playthrough
Fishing in Stardew kicks my ass omg
i can’t play stardew at all, total stress game
For real trying to keep track of everything gets so stressful sometimes. Especially the NPCs ☠️☠️
i have too much of a min maxer’s spirit to be able to ever relax in that game from day 1
I’m who they do this for, I hope they put fishing in every game you play

Why are you so evil? Does it take practice or were you kinda just born like this
I honed my skills with 10,000 hours in the gay furry fishing simulator aka WEBFISHING
Didn’t that get shut down?
HAHA, THE FORCES OF GOOD WIN AGAIN FIEND!
all the fishing was contained there for a little while but since the end its spread back out to all the other games
this is the future you asked for
BORN TO FISH WORLD IS A SEA 鬼神 Catch Em All 1989 I am fisher man 410,757,864,530 GAMES WITH FISHING MECHANICS
No it wasn’t don’t lie to me, all 4 of these games were conceptualized before we fishing shut down and 3 out of 4 were released before then, this would have happened whether the bastion of fishing that is webfishing remained or not because nothing is ever enough for you people, all you want to do is expand your influence more and more and the only way to stop you is to cut out fishing from the industry entirely
if it had survived there would be no more fishing in new games as it was already the perfect fishing experience. instead you will suffer

Shushy shushy shush shush liar, you love lying don’t you, you love trying to sow division in our ranks right? But you will fail, damned charlatan
i see SOMEONE has never played dave the diver and it shows
i don’t play triple A gunk masquarading as indie, but you see that games about diving, not fishing, completely different disciplines
i mean dive fishing is technically a subcategory of fishing
well they shuld have called the game dave the dive fisher, again im not anti fishing in videogames i just wish it was properly disclosed
maybe they didn’t get so specific so they could make some suspense and stuff. like mmmmmm what could dave be diving for? what kind of novel thrill is dave experiencing while diving?
this supposed to be in badposting com? Fishing mini games slap
No this is goodposting because it’s true and also the meme took a lot of effort to make
but have you considered, fishies :3
If you like fish you would not be into fishing, it’s literally all about hurting the fish and in most scenarios consuming them
Fish are assholes and I hate them.
Unfortunately I also hate the taste of fish.
“We do not respect fish”So we agree that fish are to be left alone and not thought of in any respect and we can all go back to playing actual videogames right?
A fish ate my wife and kids. I fish every day in my quest for revenge, hoping to catch to one who did it. Alas, I see no end in sight and have eaten 1362 fish since that tragic day. Sometimes I ask myself: would my family want this? Would they want to see me perpetuating this cycle of violence?
But then I remember: It doesn’t matter what they want. At the end of the day, they’re dead and nothing will bring them back.
So I continue the grind. Fishing. Cooking. Consuming.
Every day I change my profile picture on Tinder to my catch of the day. I do this to strike fear in the hearts of all the catfishes out there. But a doubt lingers in the back of my mind. At the end of this crusade, will I be the one that ends up on the hook?
Kudos. I laughed harder at this than I have in a long time :D
Your life is like a modern adaptation of Moby Dick
I do like fish! I keep lots and lots of fish, have many aquariums. I also enjoy fishing. 🤷♀️
Utter contradiction
humans are full of them
I smell a struggle session…

Well I sure am struggling to understand why people keep adding fishing where it doesn’t belong
Scratch a Big the Cat slanderer and a chao garden slanderer bleeds.

Poopcast
Hehehe
Fishing in Abiotic Factor is torture
Fishing in Enshrouded is torture
Fishing in Core Keeper was torture
Fishing in Guild Wars 2 is torture
Terraria is a 8.5/10 game that drops down to at least 7/10 just because of the fishing. I don’t understand what Redigit was thinking when he added it (unless it was spite, then it makes sense).
