I’ve recently gotten back into (indie) game dev and made my multiplayer game with Stop Killing Games in mind. When you connect to the game, if the server is down, you get a one-click solution to run the server locally and play single player instead.
This setup actually helped speed up development too, since now I don’t need to run both the server and client when making (most) changes :)
I liked the turn-based style of Cataclysm DDA over this real-time one. Because it was less realistic.
I had more time to think and less time to "oh shit, I'm dead."
But I like the tutorial here because it tells you clearly you're going to die a lot, in silly yet believable ways.
Every once and a while Cataclysm DDA will show up online and i’ll think “I need to try it”, but never do. I know zomboid references it so i really should pick it up sometime
It was the reverse for me. Went through a few Cataclysm versions (e, f, g), each with their own style, and Zomboid was mentioned by other players from time to time.
Someone gave me an earlier GOG version to try and it's interesting to go through both similarities and differences.
If you do end up playing Cataclysm eventually, maybe try the different graphical tilesets available. Each style can make the game feel better or worse, subjectively.
Also, I mostly used the keyboard while playing. Honestly, don't even remember if you can play with a mouse anyway...
The whole Gaza situation is a wasp’s nest that nobody should poke without knowing damn sure what they are doing. There are multiple big players playing chess with other people’s life there, and you could lose a lot.
But given the complexity the chance that the situation is resolved and thus something is won is very small.
Yes, it’s terrible what is happening. But unless you have a lot of resources and a big army you are not in a position to muscle all the parties involved into submission, which is what will be required at this point.
Nooo! Don’t let more people in, that’s how your whole community fall apart in every single Zombie apocalypse!
Good luck with the sever and more players, that warning above is just “in-universe” warning, not stopping you from adding more friends 😀 At least your camp is turning into a proper base.
As long as some Sheriff from Georgia doesn’t show up to my community i’ll be safe lol
It will be nice to have more people on though. I love zomboid but the more people to make it feel like an apocalypse the better. I can’t wait for them to add NPCs to the game just to help with that
I believe so! they were in the game at some point and they removed them for being buggy. I believe they’d said they’re on the road map a few updates down too
Nothing, but that doesn’t stop people with Americabrain from making terrible comments here.
The EU has a record of actually passing pro-consumer legislation such as the GDPR and forcing companies to use standardized cables. Claiming that nothing is going to happen because of lobbying doesn’t hold up nearly as well as it does in the US
Many countries in the EU already tax the rich. I mean, it could be better. It could be a lot better, and we still have right-wing types that try to destroy that positive element within the EU.
But of all the countries that would benefit the most from heavily taxing the rich, it would be the US. And since the US has made itself the centre of all the world’s attention, and the whole world still uses the USD as the primary exchange currency, anything that would shake up the economy of the US would shake up the economy of the world.
Yeah, I’d like to think people would focus on other things now that SKG picked up the pace but he’ll most likely be brought up for a long time regardless on what happens with the campaign in the future - even if just as a punching bag for people to feel superior about.
The only way I see that happen is having the tools and ability to pirate any and all media like we had back in the napster days. That’s the only time I’ve ever seen these companies scared. A petition I don’t think will do much. Plus not only is there this issue. There is also the issue of groups now targeting the way funding works like on steam. Payment processes are now being used to apply pressure where certain groups do not like the content.
The solution was always to defend and protect the people who cracked and pirated content. But I think they were all locked up and threatened.
This isn’t just any regular change.org petition, that can be ignored. It’s an official partition based on EU rules, where EU parliament is forced by law to listen to the initiators and talk about the topic, when it passes.
To what extent do they have to talk about it, though? Can they address it, come to the conclusion that it's infeasible (while subtly tucking millions of dollars from game companies into their pockets), and consider the matter settled? I understand that governments are meant to keep corporations in check to benefit the people, but functionally they keep the people in check to benefit corporations and their "lobbyists" (bribes).
These two things overlap under capitalism, as doing right by your customers is only required if not doing right by your customers affects your profits.
By the way, the left could have done this for any number of issues in the past but refused to.
Like how hard would it have been if everyone who showed up to a George Floyd protest instead donated to some fund that then went to paying a lobbyist/think tank to work for them in Washington to change laws and make sure the police officers and department actually saw justice.

It would be more effective to get a quarter of 1.4 million people organized with united demands and on the streets of Brussels with the actual risk of projecting threat violence on EU bureaucrats, then StopKillingGames or any petition or demand would have a much better chance of passing. At that point you wouldn’t even need collect any names before hand :) All the voting, all the petitions all the representation only exists to act as an filter and push the little people people and their little people idea’s far away from actual power as possible.
I’ll be positively surprised if this passes, but I really really really doubt it. Too much money at stake here just for the sake of having some pro consumer common sense.
There is no way that you believe people showing up in streets would do anything lol
That’s what the powerful hope we do. It’s the most useless action possible. It’s like trying to boil water by breathing hot air on it. You’ll get tired way before you get any boiling.
We’ve had more protests in the past 10 years than any other time. None of them have accomplished much of anything.
You’d be lying to say otherwise. I’m sure you’ll try to find some policy or law that was implemented that nobody listens to as proof of action.
You can’t tell me there’s a global protest like George Floyd or no Kings and the result was what?? What the fuck did any of it accomplish. Insanity to continue with the idea that protests are doing anything other than given the opportunity to arrest thought leaders and kick in the heads of everything else.
You’re literally throwing bodies against an armed and trained force that watches you all protest like referees at a hockey game before they come in and break it all up. I’ve watched countless protests where the protesters are herded like cattle into pens before getting busted up. There’s no way you can tell me honestly that the authorities aren’t in love with the idea of you all showing up against their armed and trained forces. The left is doomed. It’s not just the Democrats who do these performative actions with no results. It’s all of the left.
I genuinely can’t think of any way to address your level of immaturity. Here’s your reality check. I didn’t vote for the guy, I don’t like him. You’ve been checked kid.
And StopKillingGames has nothing directly to do with America. It’s a European/UK petition. At least understand what the topic is about before bringing up unrelated things.
