I always thought a Futurama-based MMO would be amazing.

Awesome - hope you like it when you get to it!

Have you seen the game VEIN that just came out? I haven’t played Zomboid in years but the few reviews of VEIN that I’ve seen all describe it as “Zomboid but first person.”

(I only mention this because I’ve seen you post about Zomboid several times so thought you might enjoy something allegedly similar. I’m not affiliated in any way.)

Oh, those weren’t my hands.

(Also, I haven’t thought about CUPS in forever and this made me laugh. Thank you!)

I wanna CUP.

Are you NerdCubed?

The art kinda reminds me of Thank Goodness You’re Here:

That’s the main character, but there are also characters more resembling the mascot you’ve shown. This looks closest to me:

Maybe it’s just me.

Big time.

The first, last and only time I’ve ever interacted with Digimon was the theme song for what I assume was the same show. To be fair, the song was pretty awesome.

I’m no expert - I never leave the house so I have no need of one. However, I think OpenVPN is free and allows this functionality? A lot of modern routers even integrate it.

It does, however, require some - a little - technical knowhow.

Wasn’t Synergy the software that let you use one mouse and keyboard between multiple computers? Not like a KVM but with them running seamlessly side by side.

I would think older games could be tricked into believing they were on a LAN using a VPN.

Secretly, I was hoping you’d ask that question … But about my middle-of-nowhere village on the opposite side of the country.

Maybe another game, another time, online.

May I join?

Whenever I introduce people to Adventure Time, there are a few episodes I recommend. They are generally episodes that don’t require much familiarity with the universe, though said familiarity would enhance the experience.

I encourage you to watch the show in whatever way seems beneficial to you, but if you want suggestions, I’m here for you.

edit: But even if you don’t seek out any other suggestions from me, it’s a good idea to watch the Graybles episodes a maximum of once.

Season 3 is just when it starts to get good.

I’m sorry if I’m telling you something you already know, but for reference: the creator of AT was explicitly “anti canon” for the first two seasons. In the third they started to be willing to tell a consistent, coherent story. It’s a rough start, but it gets better from there; I understand if you’re reluctant to dedicate more time, but IMHO it’s well worth it.

Hah - I get that. The show wasn’t around when I was a kid and, when I tried to start it as an adult, the first two seasons didn’t exactly encourage me to pursue it. I’m not normally okay with “it gets good in season three” type shows, but a friend convinced me to stick with it and I’m glad they did because it’s now among my favorite shows.

If I weren’t familiar with this game and saw screenshots, I could believe it was an Adventure Time game.

I appreciate this sentiment and find your posts enhanced by the knowledge, but can’t think of anything to enhance it.

Thank you for following up!

It’s always fun to see what games you post that I recognize and which you post that require reading your post to identify.

Still is. I’ve seen almost exactly this exchange on Lemmy at least three times.

Happy anniversary!

In Ross’ video, IIRC, he said 110% was good, 120% was pretty safe, and 140% was very safe.

edit: Correct autocorrect.

Hey, just be happy you’re not in ICQ.

It doesn’t warrant warrantilessness?

I’ve been curious about this recently after seeing all the reviews for MindsEye. I’d never heard of it until a few days ago, yet all the reviewers I pay attention to are talking about how it’s the worst game ever, while the footage they show makes it look fine. I haven’t played it, so I can’t disagree with them, but the vitriol for something that appears to be completely average is surprising.

I think the limited number of room transitions would stress me out, but I like the concept and love the punny name.

My pleasure!

No worries, sorry for being unclear.

IMHO he’s pretty good to watch. “LGR” stands for “lazy game reviews,” which I guess is how he started, but these days he mainly talks about retro hardware with an occasional game review (such as the one above). He gained popularity recently after being impacted by a weather event that unfortunately damaged a lot of rare hardware he was storing.

Hope you like him!

Yeah, sorry, I didn’t mean to accuse you of plagiarism or anything; I just found the comparison apt.

In case you find yourself interested, feel free to compare and contrast: https://youtu.be/imFr96t_XuA

This is basically LGR’s review summarized.

I watched Kevduit play a version of this game and one of the early quests was “abandon your first base.” Now I don’t know what to think.

To do so legally, you might have to negotiate with that one guy who wants to own every copy of Sneak King.

Every time I see a post with this caption, the environment largely looks fine, but there are consistently two issues:

• Poor seating (especially visible in this picture, where I didn’t notice a chair and sitting on a fixture would strain your back over time)
• Neck strain (usually by having the TV sit on the floor, so you’d have to crane your neck to see it)

Sounds awful.

This was back in 2006 or so. I don’t recall if 4G was around then, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t available as an internet provider. If it was, I wasn’t aware.

I’m pretty happy with my current internet solution, but I’ll keep your suggestion in mind. Thank you!

I tried this in the first place I lived at where I paid for my own internet, which was Comcast at the time.

They said (paraphrasing because it was a long time ago) their contract specified they were not responsible for any outages, nor any income lost due to same. I don’t know if that’s true, but I was young and naive and accepted it at face value.

Oh, I see. Thank you for the information.

Can you explain the Will Smith reference? I am unaware of any affiliation he has with Steam / Valve.

Thank you for the details, much appreciated. I extrapolated from the other response - more or less, as you said - but you provided plenty I couldn’t have guessed.

Ah, I think I understand. Thank you.
