One of the most satisfying things for me is driving my wife’s little Mirage in the snow. With normal all season tires it does great, with proper snow tires it’s completely unstoppable - that is, until you need to stop.

It turns out that accelrating and stopping a 2,000 pound car on ice and snow is easier than it is with a 4,000 pound vehicle.

I’ve almost bought DIvinity Original Sin a couple of times, is it any good?

You’re probably right. I was comparing it to Factorio.

I’m pretty sure reading ebooks is the most common thing I do with my phone.

Mindustry

I have DOS2 on my wishlist, I guess I just need to buy it.

Hellow fellow bard player.

Ohh its to protect my kid from whatever twisted porn game I find.

There are only two people on my steam friends list, one of them is my kid I buy games for, and the other is my wife. My kid doesnt care that I’m playing BG3 or Satisfactory for the 1,000th time, and my wife’s reaction to finding I was playing a porn game would probably be “You know, we could just do that for real”.

Doesn’t steam have a “hidden games” tab?

I looked it up, it started as an X-blades review then it turned into a review for Halo Wars.

There was an old ZP video where another person tried to do Yahtzee’s style (before being interrupted by Yahtzee himself) and it didn’t really work. But that was kinda the point of the video.

I remember listening to ZP in my headphones while working in a metal fabrication shop, kept me cheered up when there wasn’t much reason to be.

The only reason I even knew The Escapist existed is because of ZP.

I’ve played Captain of Industry, about 50 hours in it, and it just doesn’t grab me like Factorio or Satisfactory.

I have wasted a significant part of my life on two amazing games from (I’m pretty sure) indie developers: Factorio (Wube) and Satisfactory.(Coffee Stain) Both of these games have a lot of depth, and both are stable which is interesting becuase Satisfactory is still Early Access.

Nope.

Is this for real? I’m able to go to the folder on my hard drive and launch steam games without opening steam.

I was an adult when Halo came out, I’d played several shooters before then.

Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2. There was a box set with both games in it, and the box art for DK1 caught my eye, just this cartoonish grinning demon. Of course I got it home, and then noticed the box art for DK2, which certainly got my attention and definitely not because I have a fetish for thighs.

Multiplayer isn’t something I’ve ever been interested in.

I tried Halo for the first time last year. I had not tried any of the Halo games before. When the original came out I was broke and in the military so I didn’t have a chance to play it.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but the original Halo is boring. I spent an hour or two running around different environments shooting the same two or three enemies, or in one instance hiding in a hallway and popping out for a couple of shots so some hilariously suicidal officer I was escorting didn’t throw himself on the nearest armed alien and die. The whole thing just drags.

Karlach’s “Fuck yes let’s break something” personality is very similar to how my wife acts. But she’s less “Barbarian” and more “Witch”.

I’ve been wasting time with Noita and BG3 as of late. I played Noita before leaving for work today, so the most likely thing to happen is I set myself on fire.

hot Karl

That’s it, that’s what I’m calling her now.

Karlach is best girl. Best personality too.

I’d probably get beaten up when I had too much of Lae’zel and Shadowheart threatening each other and I finally popped off “Are you two going to fuck or not?”

I saw Contraband Police yesterday, it sounds awesome.

And after you do the “evil” ending, you should try a “dumb” playthrough.

I’ve been playing BG3. Im still in the beginning. I rolled a sorcerer. Some foppishly dressed guy poked my eye out, I was bitten by a fabulous vampire, I killed a drow by dropping them in a ravine, I made friends with mushroom people when I brought them another drow’s head, and I wish Lae’zel and Shadowheart would stop making barbed comments at each other and just go fuck.

When I don’t have time to get involved with BG3, I play a little game called “Noita” which is a little game with a little wizard and his magic wands, and the point of the game seeems to be “How far can you get before you set yourself on fire”

I’m enjoying Baldur’s Gate 3. I tried rolling a Sorcerer.

I’ve wasted so much time in Factorio…

Someone once explained to me that Windows is like the Star Trek movies - every other one ia good.

Factorio, Satisfacfory, Baldur’s Gate 3, Noita, Cities:Skylines, Prison Architect, Rimworld, Overload (Descent clone), Mindustry…

Alex Kidd in Miracle World for the Sega Master system.

And get off my lawn.

I used to use my old android phone to run an octoprint server.

My first character I tried to make, I was wandering around poking everything and getting into fights (and losing) while Shadowheart and the green woman who’s name I can’t remember how to spell follow me around being catty or outright hostile to each other.

The second character I started after I basically got stuck in a position where I couldn’t advance, and every door our of the area I’m in was met with a “This is going to be bitterly hard for your sad weak little party” message on my first character. I spent some more time wandering around the crash site, which made me realize I needed to spend more time wandering around the crash site looking for people.

Right? I would have even accepted a lotusboob.

I’ve started playing Techtonica, or if you prefer, “underground satisfactory”. One interesting mechanic is that research creates a sort of bulky waste product and you have to find a place for it.

It took me a long time to get signals to sort-of work in factorio.

I recently got Techtonica, or if you prefer “Underground Satisfactory”. One interesting difference is your research for new technologies creates a bulky waste product that you have to find room for…

I love factorio, I’ve been playing it since the .13 days.
