Story is kinda optional. Depends on the genre. I’m big into Factorio and Dwarf Fortress, which go light (kinda? Df is a story generator?) on story, but big on mechanics.

I adore this back-and-forth, but is the metaphor here doing anything any more?

Those prices are absolutely bonkers if that’s JPY (¥). For reference, $1 ~ ¥150.

Bah, VI or nothing.

I’m still fairly new. Where do I go for modlog drama?

Netflix seems to have ADHD as a company- always chasing the new interest.

Well now I gotta know.

Wild west was pretty ok, world was well built and the characters were compelling enough. Something to act as a hook was lacking though, and I cannot figure out what.

I laud his attitude, but wouldn’t begrudge him one or two DLCs.

I’d say Night in the Woods, but that may be a very late summer / fall kinda vibe.

The high/low visibility system from the original is also pretty clunky.

I always think of riverine PT boats.

The newish hauler job out of the warehouse helps that for me. But totally agree about the fresh take on citybuilders.
