A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

there's one where you have to slowly decode their language, but can't remember what it was called :(

There's Heaven's Vault, though it is rough at the edges, and there's Chants of Sennar.

There's also Tunic, which it looks like a Zelda game, but it has a lot of language-based puzzles that you need to discover.

I might say that also Outer Wilds would easily match this category, but I didn't find it chill at all, I was always over-stressed due to the time limit.

Maybe Subnautica would also fall in this category, and probably the reason I liked that game so much.

And as a stretch, Call of the Sea, but it plays more like any adventure game, than any actual archeology.

Oddly enough, the game that made me feel like I'm discovering something was No Man's Sky: I'll admit that the archeology game mechanic is half-cooked, barely there and probably it would benefit from more work on it. But did I enjoy going around trying to find ruins and rests of long gone animals. I would pay any good amount for a DLC that focused on expanding animal behaviors, making settlements enjoyable and having more different ruins (do not need the half-baked combat).
