I always love your posts. I wish you all the best with your health.

System Shock 2. Again. Because someone has thought it would be nice to refresh the textures and fix a bug here and there…

truxnell,

This is Xerxes. Can you not feel the glory of the flesh? Do you not yearn to be free of the tyranny of the individual?

Redex68, do gaming w I have a shelf of boxes that I just can't throw out...

I typically keep my boxes just to be safe. When it becomes too cluttered/have too many boxes, I just throw out the oldest ones

My wife get so annoyed at my boxes

toynbee,

My parents used to feel the same way.

Sunsofold, do games w (PC) Chill farming games (non-Anime)?

Farming Simulator 25 - realistic modern farming

Coral island - chill life sim

Graveyard keeper - story with lots of farming and crafting sim elements

some Minecraft modpacks are farming focused

Ranch Sim - farming/hunting/homesteading mix

Farming Dynasty - euro farming sim

Garden Life - chill, grow flowers, decorate your garden, etc.

Hard to say where the line is for ‘looking like anime’ but for things that are a bit stylized but not anime styled exactly, there’s also Staxel, the My Time At __ series, and some others.

Aren’t green bins usually for yard waste and food scraps?

nokturne213,

My town uses blue (normally recycling) for trash.

Cort,

We have blue for trash and blue with a yellow lid for recycling

sylver_dragon, do gaming w What is your personal favorite multiplayer game and what is it's fatal flaw?

Valheim.

Mistlands - Not because “whaaa, Mistalnds hard”, but because the whole area is built around verticality and the game engine most certainly is not. Combat is Valheim is generally pretty good, but after a reasonable amount of playtime, you will experience the frustration of swinging under/over enemies, because of minor variations in terrain height. Mistlands dials this problem up to 11, with the added bonus of enemies which specifically take advantage of this problem.

The Mistlands also turns exploration into a boring, grindy chore. The shorelines are a nightmare to sail around and even with the wisp, the mist is always too close to deal with said shorelines. So, you’re hoofing it through terrain which is designed to be difficult to navigate and move across. The feather cape helps, a bit. But, you’re still going to spend way too long faffing about, jumping up one side of a ridge and floating down the other, only to find that you’re in a gully with nothing useful and need to jump up the other side. Seeing dungeon entrances at any range is impossible. Enemies regularly pop out of nowhere and you’re forced into dealing with the combat verticality problems.

I’ll also throw a bit of shade at “Refined Eitr” as a resource, though I think the problem is less the resource and more the grind to get the parts for it. To start with, you need to make a Black Forge, to make that you need Black Cores, to get Black Cores, you need to spend hours in the mists hoping to stumble across one or more dungeons to get the cores. And inside the dungeons, expect lots of combat where the verticality problem is on prominent display. Now that you have the Black Table, you get to make the Eitr Refinery, which requires more Black Cores. Hope you enjoyed getting them the first time! Ok great, more cores obtained, time to go stumbling about again looking for Soft Tissue. With any luck, you’ve been mining (or at least marking) nodes along the way. Though, expect to spend more time lost in the Mists, you need a shit ton of Soft Tissue. Thankfully, this is a resource you can take through a portal, so that’s nice.

And finally, you get to raid Dverger towns for a required material to extract sap, a Sap Extractor. “What about trade? Vikings were well know traders”, you ask. Nope, fuck trade, all that gold you’ve been collecting, go spend it on some clothes which you will never actually use. You want a Sap Extractor, put on your killing pants and get raiding. Ok fine, we have our Sap Extractor covered in Dverger gore. And that gets us to the least horrible part of our Refined Eitr. Sap extraction is not terrible, find a spot with several roots in close proximity and just rotate a few extractors through them.

Right let’s get our Eitr Refinery built…and why the fuck is one of the input ports on the top? Ok whatever, I’ll build some stairs and…why the fuck is this thing tossing off damaging sparks? Yes, I know you can wrap it in iron bars, but seriously what the fuck? Why is this even a game mechanic? It’s really the perfect metaphor for all of the Mistlands. It’s needlessly annoying and doesn’t really provide anything positive for gameplay or fun. Just another pointless grind tossed in because, “players like hard things, right?”

Just started playing the indiana jones game, for fans of the movies its a love letter to them and a great game

Bieren,

One of the best games I’ve played in a while. Is it a technical masterpiece that will go down in history for anything, no. Is it fun af, yes. Can’t wait for the dlc.

ijedi1234, do games w (PC) Chill farming games (non-Anime)?

Sounds like you want a factory/automation game.

I propose Satisfactory, Foundry, Desynced, or Shapez 2.

None of them involve anime, through I think the robots in Foundry and Desynced look cute. All of them involve building things, and automating the building of things.

Passerby6497,

As much as I second the rec for satisfactory, I’m not sure I’d classify it as ‘chill’ unless you’re playing on peaceful.

I’ve been looking at shapez 2 for a bit, but I’m worried the infinite resource aspect of it would cause me to get bored too quickly

ijedi1234,

On the other hand, you don’t need to worry about power in Shapez 2. The constant power crunch in Satisfactory is what made me drop it.

Satisfactory, Timberborn (might be too cute but it doesn’t bother me), Valheim.

Is Coral Island too anime in style?

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it is, yes.

Raft was kind of interesting, and chill if you turn off "sharks keep attacking for some reason" mode.

I watched someone play Satisfactory and they had a blast.

Dinkum was fun and not stressful, but the characters have big heads and it's got some typical farming life sim elements that were inspired by harvest moon and animal crossing.

Recently, I’ve been playing a lot of Brotato. However, there is no story.

velxundussa, do games w Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)...

The portable part of the console doesn’t seem to matter to you.

So really I think the real question you have to ask yourself is: do you want nintendo games?

If yes, switch 2 seems like a good fit.

Otherwise, most other games are on everything now (PC, xbox and playstation)

Another console might fit your requirements.

If you are willing to disregard thenplug and play, you could also consider a PC with steam big picture: it’s pretty close to a console experience.

Half life 2?

Metro 2033?

New doom games

Witcher 3 if you stick to the main quest line only
