- Comment on Time is an unstoppable force 2 hours ago:
There was a article where the journalist asked a dozen people how old they felt, versus their actual age.
And every single person said they felt in their heads, 10-20 years younger. Like, a 54yo said they felt more like they were 35yo.
I’m hitting forty and I feel like I just understood what life is about, something I should have felt in my mid20s.

I went there a few years ago when locals were pointing out that none of the history or imagery had any people of color, in spite of the many people of color working the line.
I wonder if any of that changed.

Unmetal is a love letter to classic Metal Gear. If you are a Kojima fan and love the wacky world building, this is right up your alley.

Sonic Mania is absolutely worth it to anybody who grew up with 2D Sonic.

I was absolutely part of the KoL community in the 2000s-2010s, and left when I aged out of their KoL Radio/podcast stuff.
I remember hearing about it during West of Loathing launch and definitely one of the reasons I avoided the game during release. But I came around during the pandemic and I wonder if there was an aftermath.
Would you happen to know?

Unfortunately that’s the best part of FO76. Building your base/shelter, getting stuff for your base/shelter, etc. The story is okay. But at some point, everything revolves around you improving your base.

My wife and I bounced after the brutal difficulty and made it to the next biome.
It was kind of fun that every fight was a life or death experience. But we never felt like we were getting stronger or things ever got easier.
I didn’t mind, as I play Dark Souls. But for my wife who like to max-level then steamroll things, this was driving her crazy.

I can’t find that one story where a guy was having a lot of fun being kidnapped. They roleplayed for like an hour.

Oh man I remember how incredible Hammer was.
I built my college campus! (And never showed anybody because this was during the Columbine era)
- Comment on TIL that Will Wright, while making The Sims, was inspired by Quake 2 days ago:
Yep! That was the story in the book. He grabbed his wife and neighbor, and when they returned, everything was burned to the ground!
He originally wanted it to be about a game where people interacted with furniture to feel things, and it was called Dollhouse. But play testers found watching their Sims more fun.

In before the “People still play?”
Yeah. 12,000 people on average.
We get it. You hate FO76/Bethesda/Todd Howard. Go touch grass.

Was in a thread recently where people talk about heavy story games being popular because of Watcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Disco Esylium and Baldurs Gate 3.
I’m going to recommend some fantastic story-rich/story-heavy games that people might have missed during the 2010-2020 era.
-
Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun Hong Kong: RPG tactics. if you’re not familiar with Shadowrun, it’s Cyberpunk but with Elves/Trolls, and Dragons as president. Story is dark and fantastic.
-
West of Loathing and Shadows of Loathing: RPG tactics. Really great and funny writing. One reviewer said they smiled ear to ear during their whole play. I did too.
-
Danganronpa series and Steins Gate series visual novel territory. Starts really slow but sucks you in. Paradise Killer is also
-
Rusty Lake games Puzzly. Rusty Lake Roots storytelling is so good. Don’t sleep on Rusty Lake Paradise and Rusty lake Hotel. Those stories are a bit more abstract, as are all the Rusty Lake games.
-
Firewatch this is the game that made me sit up and pay attention to Walk Simulators. There’s a lot of good ones to name, but Firewatch is top tier.
All on sale for a few bucks. All of them will make you think about them while showering and reflecting on life.

For the more chillax remote co-op, these are the games I’ve played with my family. (Wife and kids)
Valheim - survival building stuff.
Grounded - survival building stuff but it’s Honey I shrunk the kids.
Raft - survival building stuff but on a raft.
Dinkum - building stuff like Animal Crossing but Australia
Enshrouded - survival building stuff but Zelda Breath of the Wild
V Rising - building stuff but vampires and MOBA

My wife and I loved Escape Academy. The narrative structure made it more interesting. And the puzzles were more sillier in nature, like solving things while escaping a flood. Or trying to land a airplane.
We bounced off of Escape Simulato.
- Comment on Like Elon Musk, 1 in 3 bosses admit they are pushing RTO because they're so upset about wasting money on all those empty desks 2 days ago:
Seriously. Every job I had, the C-level were all about flexing the size of the company.
One Fintech company I worked at got a giant skyscraper in front of city hall as a Fuck You to the mayor because they had beef with them a few years back. Another tech company constantly bragged about how much square footage of campus they had, constantly comparing themselves to empires.
All just dick measuring.

There are some new surprises that I found before everything went kaput.
- Comment on Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell 2 days ago:
You’re not wrong at all.
Baldurs Gate 3 was a surprise success. But then again, it took them many years and many Divinity games.
Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk also are narrative darlings. But CD Projekt took a lot of chances over the years to get here.
A bunch of my favorite heavy-story games are sitting at under 2000 steam reviews. While Meme game for Twitch Streamer hits 10k-100k reviews.
I’m currently playing Shadows of Loathing right now, and I can’t believe it took me this long. Next up is Beyond Shadowgate.
