    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...

    ... 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 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!

    +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.

    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...

    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!

    I've found the roleplaying difficulty (non-permadeath) to be really helpful in figuring out how to get out of Joppa and not get stoned to death by baboons lately!

    The creator seems to have deleted the github repo and reddit announcement and stuff though so I'm not too sure what happened there.
