Alone: Rimworld, WH40k Rogue Trader

Multiplayer: ArmA Reforger (just found a group who’s pretty chill, haven’t vetted them for politics yet though), SCP 5k, Peak

Yeah, that one

That Tom Hanks movie where he’s stranded on an island after a plane crash when I was 6.

I saw it a day before taking my first plane ride and going over sea.

Same. I love turn based combat, but I can’t stand jrpg turn based. If this was more like wasteland, bg3, or pf:wotr I’d be all over it.

Oh yeah, probably my favourite squad mod. A little hard to believe that people will do that kind of quality work for free and consistently update it when any patch can and will invariably fuck mods up.

Same. ArmA, Squad, and eventually 83 will be more than enough until bf6 is dirt cheap.

To clarify point 5, you get three weapons you can equip on your person. A long arm (AR, shotgun, smg, or DMR), a side arm (pistols, revolvers, some melee weapons, etc.), and a third slot which is varied in purpose. There are:

• recoiless launchers
• disposable launchers
• drum grenade launchers
• antimateriel rifles
• personal shields
• shoulder mounted cannons
• and I might be missing a few others.

Additionally, you also have a backpack slot, which is also varied. There are drone backpacks, ammo packpacks, and bubble/directional shield backpacks.

And some armours have bonuses to playstyles. The one I use is a heavy armour variant with a bonus to melee damage. There are other offensive bonuses, like more weapon stability while crouching or prone, but most bonuses here are defensive.

I started on the gravship scenario intending to do a “what if” the dwarves from DRG decided to rebel against the company (which the empire stands in for).

About 7 years in and I’ve maxed out my ship (The Alerunner) and will probably look to settle down on an asteroid, build a mines of moria kind of deal but in space.

I think this DLC is nearly as good as ideology, depending on how much modders are able to use its systems it might become even better.

In a way the gameplay also serves the meta commentary, though I’m not sure if that could be attributable to intended design choices or just was a lack of vision/production.

Nevertheless, it’s a fine game and one you’ll probably remember specifically for the story and the way it’s presented.

It was mechanically uninteresting when it was new. It was about as cookie cutter as a 2000s/2010s shooter could be. It’s all about the meta commentary.

Alone: replaying MGSV, Rimworld (with the new DLC, I’m about to hit 6k hours I think), and WH40k Rogue Trader.

With friends: WH40k Darktide, Ready or Not, and a bit of Arma Reforger. We’re probably going to start either a new Enshrouded run soon, or a new Baldur’s Gate run soon.

Another crab’s treasure. It plays like a soulslike but it’s designed like a Rare n64 game in all the good ways.

Fr. This year seemed like it was going to be pretty shit in regards to new releases, with the only things to catch my interest being the DLCs for rimworld, bannerlord, and Rogue Trader, and Arma Reforger.

But games like Beta Decay seem to be holding the torch for innovation. Can’t wait for that to be released.

What the hell has honduras to do with this? Literally just a play on the name.

Had me in the first half ngl

Or Rimworld. Tried it once while working at a mind numbingly boring internship after a month of putting it off.

I have 6k hours now.

No, don’t tax them. Take away everything they own, deny them basic comforts, see how they like it.

Haven’t ever been under 0, so while I am partial to cold weather, I cannot offer an answer beyond a guess, that I might be more comfortable still at -13 than at 40, considering I’d just need to put a couple more layers on.

I can layer up if its cold, windy, and rainy. Walking helps move blood around and warm up. You can’t escape heat unless you got AC on, or continuously splash water around your body and sit in front of a fan. Even then, if its hot and moist, that won’t help (wet bulb).

I live in a spot where temps range between 19-39 degrees in the daytime, swinging from dry to humid every now and again.

I’ll take 1-9 C all day, every day. Despite living here my entire life, temps above 25 are uncomfortable for me. I’ve discovered that temps between 5 and 14 degrees for me are ideal.

Illustration. It isn’t a thing where I’m at, and settled for graphic design (which is still barely a thing here). After graduation I applied for scholarships abroad, and got accepted on a full ride in a private university in Hamburg for illustration.

Weeks before I was supposed to leave I got cold feet and looked up all the info I could about the university. Turns out it’s a scam, the degree’s worth fuck all, and the university seemed to have this MO of recruiting aspiring legal migrants from third world countries (like myself) into its curriculum, voiding their scholarship, offering shit education, and charging exorbitant rates until they leave or graduate.

I was despondent for months since this seemed to be my big break after a pretty tough few months. Then AI image generation took off.

I’m okay at illustrating characters, but it’s immediately obvious I’ve learnt by myself and have done very little diligent study on the topic. My inexperience, how prevalent AI images are, and the uphill battle that gaining clients is, are keeping me away from trying again.
