    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    OpenMW is pretty ridiculous. In addition to graphics you'll want some combination of gameplay mods to make it, well, more like Skyrim (or RPGs made this millennium). One interesting thing of note is that when you play MW you see how much effort it takes on the part of the writers to come up...

    I kind of like the idea of creating these immutable waste assets. It's super rare in gaming to create items that simply can't be destroyed. Feels like some kind of anti-nuclear NIMBY ploy from the devs tho :D

    The Astronomy Thread

    Yeah, feels like in five years we'll be able to just launch a mega telescope into lagrange that has a hundredth of the cost of jwst and ten times the capability.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah, for me a big part of the fun of Dark Souls was treating it as a puzzle. Solving the puzzle by reading the solution online takes away a lot of the fun. But then after dying to some bullshit 10x in a row I'll probably googling "elden ring broken builds" and "elden ring cheatengine memory...

    Minecraft

    One thing I really enjoyed years ago was playing on the Mithrintia server (Home | Mithrintia) which is now defunct. They had an extremely active creative server that, when joining, limited your ability to place things to a small plot (50x50 iirc) that you needed to build something "decent" on...

    Guild Wars 2

    Kinda want to return to GW2. My elementalist, which I loved so much, got kinda stale near the end of my playing and the new elite profession takes it in a direction I don't like. After playing a profession for months that everyone said was underpowered I kind of want to play a FotM profession...

    Watching people use jeep wranglers as daily drivers with mostly on highway miles is painful, but you know when you've got some nasty roads to conquer that jeep is ready.

    Weather

    And if you do fuck up and spin out with no one else around, you've gotta blitz as hard as possible to get your car out of the snow berm before anyone shows up to help so you can carry that shame secretly with you to the grave.

    Yeah I had a lot of fun building the nuclear factory "into" the cliff-side. I like the water/fluid mechanics in the game but they kind of coerce you into a low-lying and horizontally large factory since pure copper/iron ingots are so strong.

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    ED puts the "flight" in space flight sim, with mechanics designed around what is possible with an Airbus Beluga in atmosphere. but really I don't mind, I'm just upset there's no pause button for a solo game. The excuses people made for "why" are pretty funny though, and man are there a lot...

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    How piloting a ship in the tutorial in ED feels after playing Chorus: Found out there wasn't a pause feature even in the "solo" mode of ED, which pretty much rules it out for me and my dad-with-young-children-lifestyle. Maybe I'll check it out again in another nine years!!

    Yeah, it's a simple rotary mall fed by a bunch of rando factories I propped up. I'll play DSP again when it has more content, maybe in like, 5 years.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I'm a big fan of games that have a healthy mod community, but creating a living/breathing online world doesn't seem at all conducive to modding. It was fun playing Freelancer on modded servers back in the day and would probably be fun to play SC on player-run servers if it wasn't a mess, but I...

    Pokemon (Handhelds, not Go)

    Thanks for the review. My seven year old and I picked up Pikachu Let's Go yesterday and had a lot of fun with it. It's basically perfect for us because the coop lets me play with him while he retains control and he's able to play without me. He did ragequit in the Viridian Forest when Butterfree...

    lol, yeah. In Dyson Sphere Program when you finish the tech tree it has the same end/post-game of "OK, now scale up *everything*". The super early equivalents to AreaActions in DSP worked really well and it was a lot of fun building balanced, compact and aesthetically pleasing factories that...

    Jedi Fallen Order (By Respawn Entertainment)

    This was exactly my experience due to the puzzles. I think it's a symptom of having played too many games. I really just want to fuck things up with my lightsaber and feel like I've done these puzzles a hundred times in other games already.

    Mass Effect is the greatest game ever made and anyone who doesn't enjoy "making the rounds" giving emotional support to grown ass adults after every fight is retarded.

    That's funny, I was just lamenting that there is no sequel to Black and White 2. This looks like the boring half of Black and White, all the frumpy villagers but no creature to train to fuck with them.

    I know you're being facetious but it was great the first time through when I played it on release, and the second time when I replayed it to get the perfect completionist ending. But the third time through I mostly want to enjoy the mechanics and high points, but also feel obligated to resolve...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    Biggest reason I probably won't ever replay ME is because I'd feel compelled to deal with the squad mate drama again. It felt like taking high school drama problems and applying them to a crack team of galaxy saving soldiers. And the romance in ME never paid off because you never got to hatefuck...

    What feature(s) or circumstance would persuade you to install a brain implant?

    After being a big fan of bone conducting headphones, an implant that let me play audio without them would be compelling if it did visual as well as audio.
