Update: It’s over, damn Mega Spiders.
Update: It’s over, damn Mega Spiders.
I circled back to vanilla no DLC RimWorld. I’ve owned the game for years, have quite a bit of time in Dwarf Fortress, but due to the fact I tried to mod the game right away it didn’t hook me. Turns out it’s really hard to learn a game and look stuff up when you have 200+ mods that alter things in tiny ways to make them completely different than base game. New colony is going strong! Just finished unlocking the advanced research bench, stable food source, strong outer walls. Such a fun game. I’ve been missing out. If anyone has any beginner tips or anything let me know. I’m gonna try to make it all the way and build the space ship!
Thanks for linking! Didn’t even think!
Used to be a big Nova user, but since I found Niagra I’ve never gone back. It’s just way too clean and simple. It drastically reduces the amount of time I spend opening apps on my phone and I don’t have to think about how to do the optimal home screen layout or set up app drawer categories.
I am still amazed by how they totally and completely one upped the numbered sequel to Life is Strange with a spin off side game. True Colors had so many tense moments and crazy plot twists, and in true Life is Strange fashion, both endings I feel have positives and negatives for the main character.
Warning! Don’t understand Lemmy spoilers yet. Read at your own risk!!
There’s the ending where you stay, you finally have a home, a family, and peace, but you give up your aspirations of being a musician.
Or there’s the ending where you get to travel the world, no home, but at least you have your partner and your music to share with everyone.
I actually picked the second ending strangely enough. I think most agree the first one is the better one, but I kinda thought that Alex would rather seek out greener pastures with her partner then stay in a place with so much trauma and bad memories. I like how the endings make you think and are more divisive than LiS 2.
For me right now, Shadows of Doubt. It is an early access game and it’s got a fair bit of jank, but it’s crazy how unique it is. It had a week or so of popularity and then it fell off. The devs just released an update for it too!
If you like the immersive sim genre, might I also recommend Cruelty Squad and Gloomwood. Those two have very unique aesthetics and really cool mechanics.
In the same exact boat as you. We have Mediacom or one DSL. They gave me a really good deal for the first year on my 1gig, but after that it’s going to be about $140 a month. To make matters worse too, the wiring in my apartment building is REALLY old, so the service cuts out randomly sometimes (All tenants in the building are on splitters sharing one cable with the apartment across the hall.) And of course the landlord said that Mediacom was trying to trick me into spending more money and he would absolutely not run new cable. Internet in rural areas of the US is a total shit show. My connection is somewhat stable now, but I can’t wait for something else to come to my area.
And yes I looked into Starlink, my building has a strict NO PUTTING UP ANTENNA policy.
And yes I looked into Mobile Carrier Routers and the fastest I can get is 50mb download with a data cap.
I feel your problem on a spiritual level.
I would highly recommend not buying the Steam version of Cave Story and instead downloading the open source Cave Story NX off of FlatHub and other such repos. Cave Story+ on Steam has been abandoned by the developers and they stopped updating it despite releasing countless better versions on other platforms. Definitely not worth paying for an inferior version, but if you have to play on PC you’re better off playing this updated version of the original.
Really hoping for a new Legends game. Legends Arceus was the first pokemon game I felt the desire to finish in ten years. It was so unique and interesting. It was very very very rough around the edges, but here’s to hoping that the smaller scope could make a game that’s more polished than Scarlet and Violet and maybe a bit prettier too.
Honestly at this point I almost feel like the only way a Pokemon game with decent graphics could release is if Gamefreak outsources the development.
Thanks! It was fun trying to design what the backs and sides of the buildings could look like. I never realized how many windows Oak’s Lab has!!!
Maybe! This was a one off project, but I enjoyed it enough to keep going. I imagine once I make enough of the tilemaps into 3D objects it would be pretty easy to fill out parts of the map. I’m debating if I do continue if I want to go systematically by doing Route 1 next, or if I should just do major areas and not worry about connecting them. Height is also a concern since the original game uses fake height, but in 3D we can use real height.
The only other one I can think of is Divinity: Original Sin 2. It works in pretty much the same way.
That’s seems pretty likely. It really rubs me the wrong way that they specifically name drop Mastodon in the sign up page for Threads. It definitely seems like a way to avoid being held accountable for having a monopoly.
We did it Lemmy!
Gotta get used to saying that.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder looks like just the breath of fresh air the 2D Platformer Mario games desperately need. While I enjoyed the “New Super Mario Bros.” games, there’s no denying they’ve gotten very stale and if you’ve played one you’ve basically played them all. This looks entirely unique and different.
Same actually. What all have you signed up for? I’ve only signed up for Lemmy and kbin so far.
Spider-Man 2, it’s was the cookie cutter definition of a safe sequel. More of the first game, but marginally bigger and better. Combat felt improved, web wings made traversal more fun, story was taken up a notch (though I still think I prefer the first games overall). I kinda just felt like my time with the game was a little too short for seventy dollars. Honestly just another couple side quest lines would have been enough to make it reach the playtime that I would have expected. I did really enjoy it. It is a better game than the first one. 16hrs is just a little too short for this kind of game I think. I am very hopeful for the DLC and I’m really happy with where they took the story. I need to go back and complete the collectathon stuff, but I have seen some of the Spider Shots you get for them and I’m not super interested really. Most seven out of ten game I have finished this year.
