Man during my play time on this I wasnt tracking updates and this shit broke EVERYTHING for me as coal worked without water previously. It was so borked I just washed my hands of it and started over but gaaaaah did that SUCK

Yup. Black Friday and Amazon’s Prime Day are complete bullshit. I found out early when I saw a monitor I was tracking raise in price drastically then ‘drop’ to a sale price for Black Friday. When people wisened up to that companies started playing the ‘model number’ game, where they release the same TV or device but with a different model number to specifically skew prices and act like you’re getting a deal. It’s probably one of the best examples of late stage capitalism I’ve seen.

Honestly this is one of the ones I’m most sick of. Yes, everyone can do their part, but we aren’t even close to scraping the surface of the massive amounts of CO2 corpos are dumping comparatively.

I literally repurchased the game on Steam at release 100 percent because I wanted to support them further. Having one less reason to ever use Epic was just an added bonus. If you love factory games and want to try something new, I recommend Satisfactory, HIGHLY. It does things differently than other factory games, but none of it is a downside. You still build your factories, but there’s so much more depth to everything. I feel like the difficulty curve on it would be brutal for players new to the genre, but if you’re experienced with factory math, this game is amazingly well done. I believe I have over 700 hours and I’m doing another playthrough solo, and another with my son. It’s that good.

Right. But we need to at least hold companies accountable and get them moving in the right direction. Currently they don’t give a shit. Single use plastics are ridiculous right now, at least in the US. Unnecessary and can easily be replaced or simply not used.

How about just find a way to properly dispose of it and move on to something better / more reusable? Plastics are bad on several levels, the most horrifying in recent memory being micro plastics literally invading every part of our bodies.

Oh I HIGHLY recommend Subnautica. One of the best games I’ve ever played, to the point I wish I could play it for the first time again. Have fun!

Please don’t get Dwarf Fortress. That was a joke. I do highly recommend Stardew Valley if you like anything to do with farming. There’s an entire town of people you can meet and become friends with, fun tasks and quests, a mine you can delve into, fishing, etc. The primary game play loop is building and expanding your farm, but there really is a wealth of content and the price I dont think has ever been more than $30. Goes on sale for $20 or $15 all the time. If you want more recommendations feel free to message me or leave another comment with maybe themes you’re looking for.

Oh Lord. I still have PTSD from Margit and I thought I was prepared. I definitely was not.

You’re exactly correct. That guy was either autism levels of social unawareness and being an asshole, or isn’t and is a major asshole and not your friend. That’s not what you do to players showing a new interest in D&D. Sorry you experienced that. I hope you give it another try soon!

This definitely had more of an ‘Action Shooter’ feel and not ‘Suspense Horror’ like the movie, but was still a solid game. I’d like if someone else built a similar themed game but more toward horror. Dead Space obviously knocks it out of the park here, just saying another similar, more horror based would be awesome.

Do you have recommendations on brands or general pricing info?

I’m so fucking sick of it. I just want to go back to old Android and Windows. Fuck both these bloated corps who keep inching away at shit they know goddamn well they’re doing. Seriously. Leave my shit alone. Let me root it and customize and fuck it up as I please. Leave me the fuck alone. /rant

I do ‘light’ software development for a SAAS. I use a single ultra wide. It has PiP settings so I can display my personal if I’d like while working, or have everything displayed on the work side as a triple window or dual window setup. The flexibility is great but overall ultra wides are still niche and a general pain in the ass. Good luck getting any game to run more than 90fps when you’re pushing a 5k resolution and 240 refresh.

Ah, another believer in the spread of true Democracy. Hail brother.

Rice cooker you should definitely get if you eat rice on a normal basis. You can get them super cheap like $20
