I really need to get into the habit of just linking all my previous ones at the end of each of these. I just worry it’ll look ‘messy’ or something!
I guess its easier to just follow my username then filter by posts? Or…something. Thanks for asking though, that is a confidence boost to see it wanted!!! <3
I’m not sure how this works, but I checked your posting history and it didn’t show up there, either. I guess the great weakness of the fediverse is if the links are interrupted. Perhaps it was due to instance maintenance or something.
Thank you for letting me know, from the next post I share I’ll start including links to all the previous installments I’ve made, to make it easier for people to navigate to them. What a strange thing to not be able to find them, I’m sorry!
I am also so incredibly disappointed in switch 2 news. We have a steam deck, so it won’t be too missed. I don’t think I’d be able to resist, though, if it were in my face every day like that. Good luck!
I picked up death stranding free giveaway recently and am waiting for the summer to dive in. Pretty stoked for it.
Right now, been playing marvel rivals with my kids. It’s a blast, and my daughter is a marvel nerd.
My thoughts on the Switch 2 are…contradictory. I like what they’re doing, but it feels iterative. I love my Switch because it is so small and cute, but it makes sense that a bigger screen (and joy-cons for ergonomics?) is better for a gamer. Worst is Nintendo doing Nintendo things and being a bit too predatory for my liking! From what I can see…it’s better to get an OLED and get a chip installed (CFW is soooooo nice to customize everything!). At least until maybe some sales on hardware happen? IDK.
Please let me know what you think of Death Stranding! I love to hear people’s thoughts. It can be so polarizing.
I have one of the hackable OG switch, no chip needed. Tried all the OS options. Pretty fun to tool around with. So cool that people spend that kind of energy making cfw and the like.
I had an original V1 which I had the jig/payload method for, and I’ve had a couple of OLEDs which I micro-soldered the chips onto. But after selling all mine off long ago (I preferred to emulate the games on my Steam Deck after getting it!), I picked up a cheap V2 and chipped it, too!
I love themezer (choosing themes are like a daily fun thing for me to do!)
As enjoyable as ever to read!
I think you might have missed the link to Nightdive Studios’ future endeavours? Or Voyager is not showing it at least.
I almost didn’t mention my game of the moment - I’ve been diving deep into Hollow Knight on the Deck, I just wish it supported HDR but otherwise it’s an experience like no other.
Just grabbed Kingdom Come Deliverances 2 from GOG myself so that’s what I’m playing right now. It is by far my most anticipated game for a long while. The opening to the game literally put me to tears I was so happy. Warhorse Studios has really really nailed this series. Its honestly like being in a movie, its so immersive, so personal (because of all the choices you get to make), and so fun! The scripting and voice acting in this game is so unbelievable well done.
Highly recommend this title to everyone ✌️
Also thanks for your news updates as per usual, I consider myself a fan already 🫶
KCD II is one of the few games I bought on Steam, because I just couldn’t wait to play it. I then installed a ton of mods, and now I have it on GOG I just have to start it all again!
SC3000 was the last city builder game that could hold my attention and didn’t feel like it was constantly rushing me with no time to enjoy what I’d built. I’m sure getting older played a part in that too.
Honestly, just try Simcity 3000 or Simcity 4 (some community mods are mandatory). Simcity 3000 is easier to start imo.
Just remember to watch spending and make sure to always have new zones (primarily industrial and residential) until you hit 1950 or so.
Start at the edge of the map with an industrial district that goes parallel to the edge of the map.
Plan ahead with your transport structures (leave a compact corridor for a railway line) and zone locations.
Initially focus on surplus budget and growth (i.e. surplus budget mostly spent on expansion), but try and invest into education so that by 1950 you have a more educated populace.
Each game has their own little quirks and focuses. From what I remember sc3000 is best to start in a corner. You only get half the pollution from buildings on the edge, which is pretty big in the early game. You also get easier access to trade partners which is a good source of income later. Public transportation is also important, and very expensive, so you need to aggressively maintain a strong budget surplus to keep expanding.
There’s also some magic numbers to know as you get more familiar with the game. Airports, farms, ports, and subways all have sizes you need to keep in mind when planning.
Damn! fucking sold ! Im going to buy it tonigh. I enjoyed a lot city skyline when it went out but i never played much of simcity 3000. I tried it as a kid in my friends house but i was more a caesar 2 and 3 kind of guy. I also didnt have money to buy game so it was more what people were willing to give me.
The writeup mentions GoG, but I don’t see any mention of the fact that Sim City 2000, Sim City 3000, and Sim City 4 are all currently on sale. You can get all three for less than $10 out the door.
The post work exhaustion will get easier over time, but it’s a trick to balance. Make sure you’re keeping your health good, getting adequate rest, etc. There will be some adjustment, some changes, it all depends on the kind of work you do and how hard you can avoid burning out.
Robocop: rogue city You have a slowmo skill in the tree right from very early game and you’re Robocop so you’re a rather slow walking tank. Great game all around.
