I was playing Sea of Thieves with some friends today. Game bugged out or something because they started rendering as skeletons instead of their avatars. So i guess i have my own literal skeleton crew now

Apparently skeleton skins are earnable through a list of bullshit that I was interested in a whole back. But it’s too much work for little reward imo.

The game is fun and gorgeous though. I do enjoy just dropping anchor somewhere and fishing for a while.

Yep, but this specific green tinted skeleton is what the game uses as a fallback if there’s some issue with loading or displaying a player model.

oh, that’s even more intersting then, because ik for a fact none of us have the skeleton curse (none of us have even touched any of the requirements). i wonder if it was a server issue

This is really random, but could you go back to omitting the title of the game from the title of the post? I’m possibly the only one, but guessing the game before looking at the post text has become a sort of daily game for me.

Will do! i went ahead and moved it to the title because i figured no one was actually reading the text in the body and just reading the title, but if people are getting joy out of guessing the game i have no problem moving it!

I appreciate it!! I realize it’s a pretty niche request, made mostly selfishly, but it’s very fun for me!!

The PvP curses look different.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with posting them. I think if I do end up missing a day I’ll probably retire to just posting a screenshot whenever I can.

i have lots of fun memories of playing this game with my friends. like the one time we left the captain to man everything on the galleon by himself because we all took our clothes off and cuddled on the captains bed 😂

Our crew consists of me, which everyone only lets be captain because no one else wants too, our “cook” who keeps setting the ship on fire, and the first mate who isn’t allowed to steer ever since he drove us over an island somehow

Honestly sea of thieves is a really good game. It’s the perfect play something while taking with your mates kind of game. Interesting gameplay which does not take away too much fokus and somehow a rather dynamic world and feel most session

Haven’t played in around a year and a half. Shame, it had been a weekly thing for our little 3 person crew. We had even started to be able to hold our own in PvP ship battles.

it’s a fun game. I feel like it nails enough points to nab all kinds of different player’s attention. i get not playing though, it can be hard to find time though as we get older (at least that’s what i’m finding out as i get older)

I’ve been really enjoying Shapez2 after getting back into Factorio in preparation for the Shapez2 release. In the end very similar, but I’d say Shapez is like creative mode of factorio and doesn’t have any blatant colonialism lol.
