Holy hype batman. I’m so stoked!

Done! Thanks for making this visible. It wasn’t too hard at all. Hopefully this will help everyone be able to continue spot passing
- Comment on Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. 1 month ago:
Oh man, I was coming in here to recommend the same. I’d say to look up nearly nothing about it in order to enjoy the mystery the best.
Sometimes you’d beat a boss, get a manual page from it, and it’s like “oh I could’ve done this the whole time, holy crap”
For any of the Outer Wilds or Obra Dinn fans, play tunic for the mystery. For the ALTTP fans, play it for the combat!

These all sound like emulator-ideal criteria to me!
There’s a lot of non-free versions of that which are super reasonable and meet all of your other criteria nicely. Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire. Games that are full games for a one time low cost.
- Comment on Resident Evil 9 could be an open world game, it’s claimed 1 month ago:
That’d be pretty interesting if they could pull it off
- Comment on Thoughts on the game Timberborn 1 month ago:
Yeah, a few “natural disasters” or random whatever’s would add to the mid/late game. Once water is stable, it’s easy to thrive anytime. Bad water is a nice mix up for that for sure.
And yeah, big time machine energy.

I have about a hundred hours in it. Here’s some scattered thoughts:
–The devs clearly care a lot and it’s a labor of love. They communicate well, provide updates, listen to feedback, engage with the community. They’re lovely.
–the game has a fun series of mechanics, good visuals, good music, fun vibes. It’s a bit… Sandboxy, towards later in most runs. I don’t know what to do with my settlement come cycle 12-15 (cycle is 12-20 days or so). I wish there was a little more of a goal for it, like scenarios
–good mod support and map making. People have made some dope maps for it
I’m gonna continue to revisit it as campaign/scenarios evolve, as mechanics are added, and as I want to get my beaver vibe on

There’s a setting to make it less scary in the menus now!
- Comment on What games do you replay regularly/annually ? 1 month ago:
I feel that. It’s got some non-peaceful elements, maybe the 1.6 release is the excuse you need to try it out!
- Comment on What games do you replay regularly/annually ? 1 month ago:
It’s great, I’d really recommend if you like city builders, dystopian settings, and great music/ambiance

I play StS a bunch, but in that vein, games I just come back to: -Stardew Valley, and it gets the 1.6 update next week so I guess I will again
-frostpunk, which gets a sequel this year!
-gen 3/4/5 Pokemon

It started off a little slow, but imo it was better than the main game. It’s both a little more streamlined and better story-wise. You probably should play the main game first

Okay tunic was better than I expected. The beta area and Dev commentary is so cool. What a wild game with so much speed running inclusion
- Comment on AGDQ 2024 starts in less than two hours 3 months ago:
I’m so stoked that TUNIC is starting it off
- Comment on 1.1 History 5 months ago:
I’m glad you can see the alt text! It’s the best part sometimes
- Comment on 1.1 History 5 months ago:
Does it just ellipsis off (…)?
One tap on the alt text fixes that

Like I said, some exciting racing. There was a photo finish (0.053) for the podium last race!

But for someone who is a nerd about it, some of the most exciting parts are Thursday and Friday when the teams show up with upgrades. Seeing it come together on a Sunday is awesome, but sometimes less dynamic.
If you want insane racing, just watch motorcycles

I’m not sure what you’re referring to but not at all! It’s the inverse of a “spec series” (which still benefit greatly from engineering) where you get handed parts to use. Teams can design the vast majority of parts themselves and do

So much cool matsci!
The exhaust is no longer titanium (it’s inconel) because they 3D print the complicated bits of it now instead of traditional forming techniques

Massive F1 fan here.
It’s more of an engineering sport than a driving sport. Don’t get me wrong– the drivers are absolutely top notch and do an incredible job and it’s entertaining to watch. But since it’s sooooo engineering and development based, you cars that perform different on different tracks (cuz of elevation, temperature, track design, surface).
It’s pretty neat; worth a watch sometime!
