So are non tankies. Tankies don’t have a monopoly on being closed minded, being jerks, etc. lemmy.world is really bringing out the misanthropy in me today, for example.
Edit: Ugh, was just reminded about some of the things the tankies are saying. There’s no comparison.
For uplifting, I like chill games where people are nice to each other.
Hades has you piece back together your family and has a lot of great dialog.
Carto is a cute puzzle game involving rearranging maps where you help people on your way back home.
Haven is a young couple trying to make it on an alien planet.
Children of Morta is a family fighting together against an apocalypse.
Dreamscaper is a rogue lite where you get mechanically stronger through self care as you work your way through trauma by hitting it in your dreams.
Ni no Kuni 1 and 2 are longer jrpgs in a Studio Ghibli style world.
Grandia is another jrpg that does a good job at capturing an adventurous spirit.
