    It's not that I enjoy violent or traumatic results, it's the excitement of the moment and seeing the cause and effect of decisions made quickly. There is also the survival instinct for believable scenes that makes me think about how I would fair in those situations--laughably bad in real life no doubt but it's fun to daydream about.

    Same, I love the movie so much but I just can't watch it too frequently.

    The scene in Children of Men when Theo walks through the war-zone to rescue the baby. A continuous shot where the tension just does not let up.

    Space Haven is a lot of fun, you have to be pretty careful with your food, building resources, and fuel to progress. The isometric combat is a bit tricky and you may have to pause frequently to give specific orders but in general you do have pretty good control of your people when they aren't panicked and running head long into infested cargo bays.

    Not sure how tildes feels about "let's play" video topics but I always felt the quality of Kruggsmash productions with story and artwork are a large step above most.

    I felt the same way about CrossCode. I really wanted to like it as it seemed to check all the right boxes. Ultimately I just did not enjoy the combat at all and gave up on it.

    I had a son go to prison in my last run and it got me wondering if you can end up in prison as well? How about military service or dying in a war? Has anyone found anything like that?

    While I don't care at all about fortnite I'd hate to lose a few other EAC using games because of the requirement to use a popular distro with a signed kernel.

    Car Park Capital. Graphically it's a throwback to Rollercoaster Tycoon but instead of the goal being to make a pretty theme park your job is to expand your parking lot empire by evicting residents, destroying public transport and setting up production chains to make vehicles and supply drive-thru services.

    You can build quickly and cheaply but it triggers citizen protests which you have to stomp down with police forces and propaganda. Then you have to find ways of increasing car demand by either building service industries or just releasing alligators to scare pedestrians off the sidewalks.

    The game of course is entirely a satire of the auto industry but it still manages to be a fun to play management sim.

    All that clicking is really tedious. They need to add something that will just clear the field for you. Perhaps a motorcycle!

    Ya I'm usually a puritan when it comes to mod use on the first couple runs but the game is definitely lacking in some QoL with the crafting UI. The vanilla combat, exploration and building still feels really good though.

    I think any group that can survive the swamps will likely go far. The plains definitely has some more surprises though for the unwary!

    Valheim. A few other friends and I have been playing this since the 1.0 release and have finally made it to the Northlands over the weekend. It's been a ton of fun and the new area has a lot of cool stuff to explore. Despite some previous experience we've all died many times, and while that can be frustrating it's great that the game can still provide a challenge. My only disappointment is the bug that makes certain enemy drops really hard to get but supposedly that will be fixed in the next update.
