me with Satisfactory
and maybe now Space Station 14 - nah that game is definitely still fun, a multiplayer experience like no others (well, like 13 I guess)
the blue game is amphetamine abuse
Aka Rocket League.
Oh, shit, that reminds me, I have to finish my dailies.
Man I’m still not sure if I like it
Inara up, playing the stock market freighting shit around and mining stuff. Hundreds of hours though so there’s that
No Man’s Sky
Was about to say this. I can’t tell you what exactly I like about the game, but I keep feeling compelled to play it
Every fucking game i play:
Star citizen (so much to unpack here fuck)
Tarkov (seriously it’s only the second game on here, please put me out of my misery)
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise. (Get out of here stalker)
No man’s sky
Factorio
Stardew valley
Rust
And last but certainly not least: project zombiod (this ones new to me, dammit how do I stop tripping, this is my fifth bleed in the last 15 minutes. )
I’ve heard of project zomboid, it was described to me as “cataclysm: dark days ahead, with graphics, but less mechanical depth”, haven’t tried it yet, but I do love CDDA, so I think I will eventually.
Oh dear lord, a new rabbit hole to jump down…
Minecraft back in 2012/2013
Really ? I always knew I was having fun in Minecraft from the very beginning.
Terra Invicta
Rimworld, but I am having fun, I’m absolutely sure of it. The best fun of my life. Which is fucking concerning.
I feed the bodies of dead raiders to my pigs and GITMO-ed a Space Racist into giving up his bigoted ways.
I’m not sure how I feel about calling the experience “fun”.
For a long time I’m running goodie-two-shoes settlements and I love it. They’re not woe of non-violence people, they will shoot you if you come with raid, but then they will patch you up and release you back with gifts. They make artisinal food, drinks, and drugs and then sell and gift them to everyone, and they never ever commit any warcrimes. It makes me feel nice inside, knowing that my guys are making life on a rim slightly better.
Path of Exile after you hit a five digit playtime
Cities Skylines for me. I don’t play it often because I will get sucked in and come to at 3am, realizing that I’ve not eaten in 16 hours and my traffic isn’t any better.
Thats Europa Universalis 4 for me.
Kerbal Space Program
Civilization
Factorio
The factory must grow
I would disagree about KSP, at least for the first hundred hours or so probably. You’re actively learning and adventuring, and discovering new things. After that, once you’re figuring out how far you can push things or installing RP-1, you’re right.
I once spent 40 hours testing a Duna lander
I had a thing for system-dominating single-launch ships.
These would have 10-12 probes on it, hanging from beams like bats. I would have massive stageable fuel tanks, and I would slingshot it past each planet and it’s moons, drop a probe and try to get the probe into orbit or on the surface (often failing due to lack of ∆V), all in one launch, with the ships core functioning as a science outpost to collect science and relay or bring it back to Kerbin.
I never quite dialled it in and touched or orbited every body with a probe, but some of these missions would last like 30-40 realtime hours,and I flew dozens of them.
I’ve been in the design and planning stage for a Jool 5 mission for months now.
I don’t even need the science. I just have to do it.
Just… One… More… Turn…
Runescaaaaape, you casual.
Football Manager.
I would love to get into Football Manager or OOTP Baseball but I hate the yearly-purchase monetization scheme. I wish there was a good indie alternative, or something that scratches a similar itch.
An upside of SI tending to have very minor year-on-year upgrades between FM editions is that most people don’t buy it every year. It’s common to buy every two or three years, unless a momentous change is implemented. The sortitoutsi.net site has squad updates among its mods that let you play older games for longer.
Not that I want to be encouraging you to take it up, the game is literally like crack and I don’t let myself play it anymore.
Ever tried SmokePatch Football Life for ePES? So good. Also totally free.
I have not. How does it compare to FM?
It’s closer to FIFA (but way better). It started as a beloved mod for ePES/Pro Evolution. Then the developer(s) took the manager mode and built it into a standalone, free title that still works with other mods. It’s crazy deep even without extra mods, but you can add in (amazing) team-and-player-and-country-specific chants, stadiums, player faces, balls, shoes, teams, fields, new announcers, it’s fucking wild. I love that you can take a rookie, use him well, and it actually reflects in his stats. Then you trade him on a few years later for huge bucks. So addictive. If you get it all going, it is the most-fun, most-immersive soccer experience I’ve had. It’s here, another updated version apparently incoming soon.
I’ll take a look at it, but like I said above I don’t let myself play FM anymore and this sounds equally dangerous. Do you need a PES install to play or is it fully standalone?
piracy is always there if you need it
Minecraft
But did you get the free Anaconda from Hutton Orbital?
All I got was the coffee mug.
I flew all the way out there and forgot to check the landing pad size. It was such a bust.
Ouch, lol.
You got the Anaconda? Must have been before they switched to the Federal Corvette
RN It’s Starwdew Valley. I keep staying up all night being like “Just… One more day and I’m done.” 🤣
Every time I look up something I can’t figure out, I am presented with a bunch of tangenital items that I haven’t even seen yet and I’ve been grinding the game for two weeks now. And CA just announced it was getting more! This unassuming retro farming game is fucking massive. 😵💫
And that’s without mods!
