Put em on the baaaaaaaack!!

The under screen ones suck in comparison so much ugh

Factorio!! This work week has been hell and I have a week PTO starting Monday. So time to put in some effort in an asynchronous multi-player game with a friend.

No Man’s Sky is doing a Halloween event, too, so I might play around in that to get some unique cosmetics. And the Expeditions usually have a tailored experience that’s always fun.

I’ve been playing Papers Please in the 30 min or so I have for gaming in the evenings lately. I might play more of that to see if I can get all the endings.

Unless the weather is nice. Then I’m going fishing.

No Man’s Sky or Elite: Dangerous might offer you a stellar exploration experience you would enjoy over Starfield.

No RPG elements in either, though.

Ah Paradox is finding their model of releasing unfinished games and getting around to solving it later less appealing!

That is a little disappointing, actually, as Paradox made some damn good games this way. Crusader Kings 2, Hearts of Iron 4 and Stellaris were all made like that.

Looks rather similar to Shapez 2.

I miss the Note 9. Between the fingerprint scanner on the back, the lack of a camera bump, and a headphone jack, it was a nicer experience than the Note 20 Ultra I have now.

Thank goodness the program told me I have value after Tyler stopped replying once I showed him my asshole.

And what’s that?

But why would I want to use the Galaxy store?

Life by You’s cancelation was a big disappointment to hear. I figured if any studio had an understanding of emergent intercharacter storytelling in the way a Sims game needed, it was Paradox.

That said, Para-Lives is still in the works and looks quite promising.

There’s still hope. Just not from EA.

… did someone mess up the AI prompt to generate the thumbnail? Maybe I didn’t read carefully enough but why is it Stargate instead of Star Wars?

Buddy if I buy Panther Marten lures off Ali Express or from Dicks they come from the same factory in the same packaging at the same quality, but one costs $1.12 and the other $7.99.

It’s being manufactured in China anyway, I’m just avoiding the beak wetting Dicks and Walmart do to pay their shareholders.

Plus it ain’t like the US actually has any qualms with slave labor, just look at all the industries that take advantage of prison labor in the States.

Bullshit! I wanna buy cheap fishing gear for a tenth of the cost at Dicks.

Better get some rods and reels en route before this goes into effect.

Lmao this is not one of the well priced ones.

Tho their other foldable is like $700 cheaper than the Samsung one with similar enough specs

Huawei is making some seriously impressive stuff for a decent price, just wish I could get it in the States.

We talkin’ DS9 post-TNG Trek, Disco or SNW here?

Star Trek The Next Generation Final Unity is one of the best Star Trek games made to date. It’s a point and click adventure game that essentially has you going through a long episode of Star Trek with a few different set pieces and plots.

I think many video games miss the point of Star Trek and fail to capture the spirit of the show, but this one tells a story that could have been a handful of episodes.

What a bizarre article…

Framing a game release as a political soft power move is pretty bonkers stuff.

Do people say these kinds of things when big games come out of other countries? Was Disco Elysium an Estonian attempt at exerting subtle global dominance?

I keep thinking “They killed Battleborn for this??”

Baffling that they canceled the project when the target audience for such a game is so hungry for something other than an EA product.

I woulda thought that Paradox would have the right stuff to do a Sims-esque game considering their experience with character driven emergent storytelling in Crusader Kings.
