Just kinda ignore the Lovecraftian horrors, I haven’t seen those IRL, lol.

Oh, definitely. I still chuckle occasionally when I’m reminded by my Dungeon Defender friends that they cannot fathom playing a single game that takes weeks to finish. Meanwhile I’m laughing in EvE Online veteran. Titan Construction V took 8 months to train.

Not the previous commenter. I have been enjoying learning a ton about real world geology from the game. Also as a IRL blacksmith, the smithing and smelting mini games are surprisingly correlative.

Stellaris full price is like $300 for the whole game , sure I literally got the base game for free, but even buying expansions on sale, I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve spent over $100 on Stellaris, and I don’t have all the expansions as I only buy them on sale.

We learned VERY quickly that any fighting at all caused our mother to take away the controllers and send us outside.

Thanks! TIL!

Younger brother

Where’s the Select, Start?

It worked on way more games than just Contra. It was the Konami Code.

Well that was a shit thing for him to do. One of the reasons I got the game is that my younger brother was 9 and youngest was 4. I also got a third controller and the 4 controller adapter.

I played Poppoi, younger bro got Marle, and youngest bro was given the sword boy and told where to go. Younger bro got quite good as the healer.

The three of us got all the spells to level 8:99, and yes, I do mean ALL. We also got all the extra weapon orbs out of the Mana Fortress, though I found out later that we did miss some really nice weapon and armor drops before the thing takes off.

Secret of Mana. I was 12, and went and worked under the table stripping tobacco. The game was well worth what I paid, the job wasn’t.

They also were on their way somewhere else, and the Emperor, and the imperium at large set up the Astronomicon, which is basically a giant beacon to the bugs that screams “there’s food here!”

Were it not for the imperium, that particular version of the milky way wouldn’t be nearly as fucked as it is, but it would still be pretty fucked because Slannesh would still have been born.

Watch / listen to “If The Emperor had a Text To Speech.” It is a really good non canon primer for the world. It wasn’t made by GW, and so the creators abandoned that series a few years ago when GW changed their licence agreement.

It is about 90% canon, as in, if the Emperor could routinely talk to anyone, he would start unfucking The Imperium, post haste. The current Imperium is nothing like what he was trying to make.

My grandmother, as well as The Gospel of Thomas, IIRC. It’s somewhere in The Apocrypha, I remember reading it in Catholic school

No the fuck it didn’t. That page is wrong. The full quote is “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” Meaning that you can choose your family as an adult, and should do so with care and consideration.

That’s because everyone remembers that particular saying incorrectly, similarly to “a few bad apples,” or “the blood is thicker than water.” Everything and every saying is being twisted to mean exactly opposite what it should be to protect the pedophile capitalists that own everything.

That’s been the line they have pushed for at least three decades now. It didn’t seem to be hurting them until rather recently, when it started affecting the larger software world.

Yep.

How many players would you like to have help? I’d be down, but I live in PST. I have gotten to Gleba and technically researched Aquilo in my best single player run. Then Gleba broke, and I’m restarting cause I haven’t touched the game in over a year.

Thanks for the source. I’m aware that Kovarex has some interesting ideas when it comes to how players are intended to play Factorio, I’d not heard anything like that about him before.

Apparently Dosh Doshington and his team thoroughly annoyed Kovarex with their spaceship “The intended Solution,” during the Space Age close beta tests

It’s the only really good game Bethesda made. They just kept dumbing down every single subsequent game they made.

On the second one, we spell it Lieutenant not Leftenant the way the Brits do. That is possibly due to General Lafayette.

The one I can’t stand as an American is nucular when they mean nuclear. Fucking read the damn word as it is spelled! I know that doesn’t always work in English, but this is one of the ones that does! Just WHY‽‽‽

Astrox Imperium is an attempt at a “Single Player Eve Online” game. It’s still in development though.

The upcoming update is gonna make about 1/3 - 1/2 of my mods redundant

Vintage Story is being developed in Europe. They won’t even host on Steam

That’s the only cube I can think of, and it was pretty straightforward to find, provided you could handle the enemies in there.

The one that’s truly difficult to find was one of the daedric princes temples. I searched all over that coastline. Turns out the entrance is underwater…

Morrowind has far more to do than Skyrim and Oblivion combined. That makes sense when you realize that they dumbed down the games with each successive release.

Apples and Onions. Not even close to the same situation, since we don’t rely on physical copies anymore, and the physical copies that are produces are such a limited run that they are basically collectors items or data archivist / ownership enthusiast items.

Also that crash only really affected the US. The gaming market as a whole just kind of absorbed the losses, and got stronger for the video game comeback in 1986 in the US.

Good to hear, I may have to reinstall it!

It won’t let me continue no matter who I pick or what I pick

Who the hell out there is leaving a negative review on Schedule I? Are there actually Drug Dealer Sim fanboys?

Been playing Vintage Story with my brother. Need to find some iron, and bees.

Steam Deck can emulate Switch

Derail Valley Simulator is actually quite chill, once you have an idea of how to handle your trains. I have almost $7,000,000 saved up to see how big of a boom I can cause without going into debt, or hurting my engines and caboose.

At least in Morrowind the journal recorded EVERYTHING. If it was a highlighted keyword, it was going in the journal. Searching that thing was a bit of an issue though.

Gotcha. I was pretty sure that Oblivion has an in game journal, so I wasn’t sure why notes would be taken.

What’s the pen for?

Somehow I seriously doubt that anyone would want my cards, and don’t know what prices to set. Oh well.

How does one buy games with trading cards? I have tons of them
