    Ours did, yeah, along with 80% of the alliance leadership. Ironically the top whale, the diva, from the other top alliance remained - which just made it worse. I lost all motivation to continue playing. Those that remained talked about merging with other alliances. I wish them luck. Hopefully...

    Well I am out, too, now. The server transfer event was a total kick in the nuts.

    Kingshot and other Base Building + Strategy Games

    I am still playing, but certainly our server is dying. There are only two active alliances now. Sure there are others in the “top 10” but they maybe have 10 active players and mostly dead accounts in their roster. They join us for the kvk events. Tuco accurately described our own whales. The...

    That is good to hear. You are a few weeks ahead of me, but I am in a similar situation. I was top 20 power in the #4 alliance, but we just recently merged into the top alliance (displacing a lot of riffraff). Now I am #65. Our State just opened up the Fertile Lands today to give you a sense of...

    Satisfactory

    I am excited for priority mergers and hypertube junctions. They also added belt throughout counters similar to Dyson Sphere Program.

    Ghost of Tsushima

    This was an amazing game that I would never have considered playing if I hadn’t read this thread. Thanks, forum bros. That ending… I haven’t been hit that hard since RDR1. I enjoyed the DLC. Seemed like a solid backstory and they took some of the main island mechanics to a higher level.

    That guy sounds like he knows exactly what gay terminology he should use.

    A Christmas Story Christmas (2022)

    Watched this with the family, and we also liked it. Same vein of humor as the original and zero modern wokeness.

    Best phone games?

    Thanks for this recommendation. I have been playing this quite a bit. Very easy to pick up and put down after just a few rounds as you progress through a random "roguelike" board or through the somewhat tedious stories.
