The Dwarf Fortress model. Losing is fun!

Idk… RimWorld feels less genuine when they anthropomorphize the RNG, so it feels like it’s doing shit to you on purpose (because it kinda is).

Fuck you, Randy! I bet you thought that destroying my colony with 137 manhunting Boomalopes was pretty fuckin’ funny, you sick son of a bitch.

viking,

Rimworld definitely makes it harder when you’re doing well. You can control the parameters a bit though in the storyteller settings. It depends on your colony’s wealth, number of people, how long it’s been since something ‘bad’ happens (colonist dies or gets injured), etc.

TheOakTree,

This is advice I’ve given to new Rimworld players, and I hope it was helpful. The game (on most difficulties) is itching to give you the next “scenario.”

Building your wealth in valuable equipment is not very good at the start of the game, because your town’s silver value will go up much faster than its defensive/offensive capabilities. You end up putting a target on your back for raids.

Better to build a surrounding wall and set up trap corridors than to worry about getting everyone a gun.

viking,

I’ve had success doing that too. Buttload of traps. The raids that will circumvent your traps are definitely a problem though. Also the raids that just have a bunch of grenadiers can destroy your defenses in no time.

TheOakTree,

Yeah, definitely can’t rely on it for too long. Double granite walls can hold off basic enemies for a ridiculous amount of time, though.

the binding of isaac: rebirth. steam claims ~800 hours, but with the time I played offline, its probably closer to 1300-1400

LaserTurboShark69,

I finally picked up Repentance after putting around 300 hours into Antibirth. I’m completely addicted again. Jacob & Esau is such a struggle for me

smeg,

Repentance was such a huge expansion. And it’s getting updated again shortly!

Delegating tasks is a crucial skill in balancing academic demands and maintaining productivity. It allows you to focus on what matters most while ensuring all tasks are handled efficiently. Turning to buy cheap essay services helped me manage my workload without compromising quality. Their reliable support provided well-structured and timely essays, making my academic journey smoother and more manageable.

Any AWD Lambo in Gran Turismo. Especially after getting used to powerful RWD supercars.

With FWD cars you start out with, you can pretty much go from full throttle to threshold braking back to full throttle as aggressively as you want while taking turns. As long as your speed is low enough to go around a corner, you’ll make it and if you make a mistake, you have a chance at recovery.

With RWD, you’ve gotta be super careful with the throttle on turns. If you try the instantly apply full throttle approach, you’ll end up spinning out when the rear tires (that provide stability) lose traction. A lot of the videos of people fucking up their supercar are instances of being too aggressive on the throttle when they weren’t going perfectly straight. I’m not sure how accurate Gran Turismo is for this, but you can give it full throttle while cornering, but you have to ease into it slowly. You don’t have much opportunity for correction, though with careful throttle control you can sometimes turn it into a drift, though that usually doesn’t work out unless you plan on drifting going in to the turn.

With AWD, just point the tires in the direction you want to go in and give it full throttle. Start losing traction? Try more throttle. It was a fun moment discovering this, after being used to the RWD approach. Might need to max out your tires and tune your suspension for stability to get these results, though. Just angle the tires outwards a bit for camber, go as low as you can without seeing sparks, and add some downforce on the front and back and it feels a bit like an F1 car.

Though the actual F1 cars they have are pretty awesome, too. A step closer to the arcade style racing where you didn’t need to learn the brake button.

Blackmist,

Some of those cars really made me appreciate the analogue face buttons on the PS2 controller.

Tomb Raider 1.

I’m replaying the remastered trilogy for the first time since I was a teenager. The level design is outstanding. Very clever re-use of the same areas, just at different heights.

It’s inspiration from side-scroller prince of persia (also played this obsessively as a young child) is palpable. The movement system is revolutionary.

And the enemy progression is hilarious. First you fight some bats, then you fight some wolves, then you fight motherfucking Velociraptors, then a goddamned T-Rex. And thats not even close to the weirdest enemy you’ll fight. Boss battles are evenly spaced until they aren’t. when you have two boss battles immediately one after the other.

And then eventiually, you get to the pulsating flesh caves…

MajorHavoc,

Yeah. Tomb Raider is wayup there.

I remember being relieved when I survived the encounter with the bear, knowing that it was definitely going to be the scariest creature I would encounter. Lol.

Minecraft, and the number is still growing.

Minecraft. Even with all the shitty updates there is so much to be done in Minecraft that it’s honestly mind boggling. Almost anything is possible especially with mods. Only downside is Microsoft’s greedy ass owns it

MajorHavoc,

I feel compelled to mention Luanti here, just in case it’s not on your radar. Also VoxLibre.

It’s uh, well it’s done.

And it’s fully open source so it continues to grow.

And it’s lighter and faster and has cleaner network code than MineCraft.

And it doesn’t have M$ enshitifying it.

Disclaimer: I love this game and want to see the community grow and grow forever. It’s so good and I want to keep playing it until I die.

Edit: I forgot to mention it’s completely free and runs great on Windows, Linux, SteamDeck and Android.

STALKER and The Elder Scrolls probably hold the record. I may have wasted even more time in my life on World of Warcraft, but I feel like that doesn’t count since you’re just in a fucking trance for several years until you finally break away.

It’s either the Sims or Animal Crossing.
