I'm considering setting up Minetest with the Mineclone2 mod and also the Dwarf Fortress style caverns mod (and maybe some other stuff that mod recommends like a hang glider and ropes)
Does anybody else play? What's cool?
Elden Ring is shockingly good on the Steam Deck, it's the main game I've been playing on mine! I've also enjoyed Wargroove 2 and Hardspace Shipbreaker on it!
I'd be keen to play Empire! It sounds awesome!
... I wonder how hard it would be to get it spun up on an Enigma BBS...
On a sort of related note have you seen Swords of Freeport? It's a text game in the vein of Legend of the Red Dragon designed to be played on a shared Unix system
I don't wanna send you down a terrifying fountain pen rabbit hole buuuut my favourite fountain pen cost AU$10 ;)
At the moment I've been having fun with the beginner Gunwing preset (flying mutant with dual revolvers) but I'm curious as to what other people have had fun with!
I jumped back in on a level 1 account I apparently made at some stage and had a blast running cx errands, then went and became a ranger and did some crafting! I think I might be hooked!
Man I played Ancient Anguish about 15 years ago! I've never found a MUD I liked as much! I should try to figure out my username...
I'm mainly interested in Grimdark Future: Firefight (OnePageRules' 40k Kill Team competitor) and so far from what I've read the changes are good! I'm yet to play a game with the new edition, but the armies feel more distinct and I'm excited to try it out!
I really enjoyed the OG browser based Swarm Simulator. They did a native app release with graphics and more stuff but it also got a bit p2w and sucked my battery down (admittedly I haven't tried it in many years since release)
It's funny, I'm excited for this and I've never actually launched a rocket! Time to fall back into the Factorio hole!
+1 for this. I normally buy a ~4-5 year old Lenovo Thinkpad and then absolutely run it into the ground for like 5 years. I actually just set my brother up with a new (old) laptop this weekend. He was looking at all these low to mid level laptops and I found one on Facebook marketplace refurbished with similar specs for about half the price.
As someone who just made like 10 patch cables and hated every second of it, holy crap why have I never heard of these before? I'm ordering a bag!
If it ever gets to the point where there's content I'll let you know! At the moment you spawn in a featureless void and can go to a combat arena with one combat dummy :P
Evennia is pretty great! I've got this grand vision of putting together a little MUD that is largely a group chat for my friends where you can also just roam around and fight goblins if you want.
My codebase was getting a little hairy around combat when I ran out of steam last time. I see their tutorial covers combat now so maybe I should get back to it and compare notes...
I have the Grimdark Future Firefight starter kit printed out which has Alien Hives and Blessed Sisters but after finally trapping someone I realised the set's out of date and the bugs list was totally outclassed. He seemed keen for a rematch another time though!
Unreal World is great! I come back to it every few months, survive for a days fishing, start building a trap fence and starve to death because I got it wrong but it's just really fun to do so!
Sil-Q is a pretty good modern Angband fork!
I've been listening to IDLES' new album TANGK. It's not bad by any stretch, but I'm not feeling it as much as their previous work. I think it's a lot more mellow than previous albums and the more incendiary songs on their previous albums are what drew me in.
