Not so much the collecting. I like learning how to drive them, and driving them. I blew up my steam engines the first several times I touched the controls



Depending on how long ago it was, we’ve had a couple of updates recently. You can now paint all your engines, and there’s a ton of gadgets


Pick up Derail Valley Simulator. It’s not as pretty, or expensive, but good Lord is it satisfying to learn how to NOT blow up a steam engine.


Derail Valley Simulator. I like my trains.


I put Factorio down for a bit. I have almost 4,000 hours in Factorio, and almost 3,000 hours in Dyson Sphere Program. Been playing Derail Valley Simulator, Schedule 1, and Vintage Story recently.


No clue, I just know that it exists and seems to work with the scammiest scammers that ever scammed


EvE Online doesn’t use root access anticheat software. I know it doesn’t because it runs on Linux just fine. That particular player base is the worst hive of scum and villainy that you’ll find outside of government. Clearly the anticheat software isn’t as essential as game studios would have you believe. The only major cheating I’m aware of in EvE was the BoB scandal, and that involved Devs cheating because they were Devs.


You made me read the link. I don’t think these games are actually related, but I dunno at this point.


I remember the guns, and the painkiller. Shooting enemies with mini telephone poles never got boring


The original Painkiller was the first overwhelmingly positive review that Yahtzee Crowshaw ever made. That review caused a years old game, at that point, to spike almost 3000% in sales for the next month. It contained gems of sentence construction such as: [Painkiller] (sic) “has a gun in it that shoots shurikens and lightning. I’m not making that up. It shoots shurikens and lightning. This gun could only be cooler if it had tits and was on fire!”


Its current state isn’t even close to being done. VS has a roadmap that is just as large as Schedule I or All Will Fall.

And VS has a modding API, unlike MC, or so I am told. I played MC for all of about two hours years ago. I thought that the graphics were the issue. Turns out it was that the gameplay loop was lacking in depth




Chrono Cross. You can accidentally write out all the endings of the game if you try to play without a guide.

Also Mordor 2. Completely procedurally generated world. The game literally can’t tell you where to go, it doesn’t know.



With the update, even if you don’t have the DLC, fluids have been rebalanced. You just have to place a pump every 200-250 tiles and everything flows.

For oil specifically, you don’t need anything but petroleum until what used to be late game. So just build a few (like a dozen) refineries and make sure that there’s actually oil coming in.

Once you actually need lubricant, and light oil, set up chemical plants to turn heavy oil into lube and light oil, and light oil into petroleum. It won’t be fast, but it won’t clog and it will produce what you need, slowly. You can use storage tanks as a buffer for your lube, light oil, and petroleum. Heavy oil isn’t used as a direct input for any assembler recipe.

I consider myself a Factorio apprentice, as I have yet to actually set up a proper train system. I’m slowly learning circuit logic, but can get to Gelba without getting stuck.

Don’t stress optimization, brute force works as well.

According to my father, who is an absolute Epic Wizard level computer programmer consultant, Factorio teaches you the basics of computer programming.



TI-82 here. Thank fuck that I got out of HS in '96. The administration hadn’t caught on that we had Drug Wars, and a really shitty MechWarrior game floating around the school.


Is this the same legal team that sent Pinkertons to some M:TG fan, because WotC sent him the wrong box, two weeks early.

Mods. Bethesda would just fuck it up, and the modding community has done a beautiful job with our old love.


Top comment when I looked was, “I would pay the price of a dozen eggs to be able to play this DLC.”

I would be willing to pay 2 dozen eggs worth, and I would have to buy the game as well as the DLC.


This is an old game series, but it was proof that you could put as much blood and gore into a game as you wanted and still get a Teen rating in the US, as long as you’re just killing/dismembering Nazis.

BloodRayne. There’s a “cheat” to change a few of the visual effects. One makes her put all her weapons where she is actually storing them, and shows the unused weapons at all times. One makes the blood spray levels "more accurate to the actual amount of blood in the human body. The last one just makes her boobs bouncier.


Also they corrupted Tim Curry in RA3 so they deserve it.


Yeah, I remembered that NWN 2 was either 3.0 or 3.5. I really tried to design a campaign in that version, but just kept getting stuck/ losing my files.


Oh yeah. If it was based on 2.5 then that alone is gonna have you scratching your head. Gygax needed to be told to chill with the math nerd shit in that edition, but wasn’t.


Never played the original single player NWN, is it 2.5 or 3rd edition? I did play the MMO NWN on AOL. That one was 2.5 edition with the tile and grid system that previous TSR single player titles had used in the late '80s/ early '90s



Before or after the foundation decides to exterminate the entire human race?


Ok, so I’m 44, and my parents literally played D&D and video games with us growing up. I literally don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t gaming.

That being said.

According to Steam:

Factorio: 4,330 hours

Dyson Sphere Program: 2,506 hours

Skyrim: 2440 hours

Stellaris: 2,237 hours

Dungeon Defenders: 1644 hours

Terraria: 1630 hours

Fallout 4: 602 hours

Also I probably have well over 10,000 hours in 2.5 edition, 3.0, and 3.5 edition D&D. Only counting actual tabletop time.

That’s also not counting a fuckton of games that I have played on various consoles starting with a TI-99/A and and Atari 2600 as well as most of the early Nintendo consoles. I branched out once I got to college.

My numbers are actually quite low. I know multiple people that have 20,000+ hours in their favorite games.


Just in case you didn’t see the further replies, Open RCT is essentially Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, and you can find all the scenarios from RCT1 and RCT2 and download them, for free.




Dyson Sphere Program. 64 stars and hundreds of planets per game! 640 Dyson Shells to construct and defend.


Dyson Sphere Program is 3rd person 3-D and it has combat these days. I’m actually wondering what they haven’t implemented yet, since it’s still early access AFAIA.


Kiss Cam, and wacky mascot antics. At least that is what I’m led to believe. Never actually been to a sporting event with a jumbotron.


That has got to be one of the best sword fights in all of cinema, if not the best.


What they did to The Summerset Isles in ESO is a crime against Auriel and the 9 divines. I was expecting mushroom houses, and they made rivendell.

I’m not salty and bitter. Bethesda is salty and bitter.


Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program. At least don’t watch people like Nilaus and Dosh Doshington play the game until you’ve tried to make your own solutions first.


The blue demi-human vendor in Marbule. Not the guy at the entrance, the one you want is closer to the tavern, in an alleyway. Ignore the dog fighting arenas in the area. You aren’t high enough level to take on the entirety of The Mob at one time.
