“Rules for thee, writing the rules to control you while snorting stimulants for me” 😌

“The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That’s the deal.”

- CS Lewis

It’s so hard to lose someone you love, but it’s written into the contract from the moment you let them into your heart. I’ve lost a couple cats now, and when I feel myself getting sad while thinking of them, I allow myself that moment to process, but then am sure to remind myself of how lucky I am to have had something in my life that was so great that it could still make me feel that way, years later. It takes time to get there, but I think it’s what they’d want.

My condolences to you, Momo is a true beauty.

Some of these GIF hosts can be pretty obtuse. I was able to get at this GIF by going to the embed page and clicking/tapping the “copy link” button. In this case, the only difference in the two URLs was the file extension.

I’ve got three, ranging between 8 and nearly 10 years old, with the oldest one seeing exponentially more use than the others, and they all still work flawlessly. I tend to put hundreds of hours into a handful of games, but I don’t use them every day, if that helps quantify my usage a bit.

No one’s telling you that you don’t have that choice… Just that over-indulging in that choice could lead to heart disease. What you find to be an acceptable level of risk is entirely up to you.

Nice. This was one of the only expeditions I ever missed, will be nice to finally get to play it!

Check out Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t (aka Joey Santore, aka Tony Santoro). He’s been a vocal advocate for the “kill your lawn” / natural landscaping crowd for a while, and also I just really enjoy him.

He worked on/is working on a cable TV show called “Kill Your Lawn” too, but it’s not super widely available. You can find some episodes of that on YouTube as well.

I love walking sims, exploration games, and mysteries… Kona was such a great title. Really moody and atmospheric. Looking forward to picking up the sequel soon, maybe during this sale. Thanks for sharing!

This is a great summary of the game, I just wanted to add on that you don’t necessarily have to start a new character for expeditions. They added the “Expedition Terminus” in the Space Anomaly a few updates back, which lets you start the expedition from an existing save.

That said, I always start a new character, because those first couple hours where I’m trying to get on my feet are always the most challenging for me, and that keeps the game fresh by pushing me outside my usual style of engaging with the game.

Looking forward to this one! I like when they disable key systems to mix things up and challenge your habits.

Pepto Bismol, standing by!

Could it be to protect the rest of the item from getting scratched by the prongs? Especially a screen, or some soft/glossy plastic case that would be prone to scratches.

Edit: I submitted this right after Hylactor’s top comment and I agree with them!

Definitely looks like more Borderlands.

I really enjoyed 1 and 2, played through the main story in both at least two times. I installed 3 over a year (two years?) ago and just completely stalled out on it, so it remains unfinished.

I really liked the low-gravity aspect of Pre Sequel, and the more immersive thematic elements of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands… Hopefully there’s something like those things here, that really adds on to the core gameplay loop, and not just additional in-game currencies or another elemental damage type.

You did your part!

Their tribal gear was a flap with a hole for their face.

This makes them sound like idiots… They also cut two smaller holes in the flap, for their ears.

In addition to a few I’ve seen posted already (Stardew Valley especially)…

• A Dark Room: A relatively short, minimalist, mostly-text-based RPG with a dark vibe. I come back to this at least once a year. Can be played free via web browser, but the native app version has some extras.
• Dysmantle: A huge and well-polished zombie survival sim. Just recently finished it and was really impressed with the overall scale, level design and progression.
• Papers, Please: A ‘dystopian document thriller.’ You play as a border checkpoint agent, verifying increasingly-complicated passport documents and questioning your moral compass. Port of a PC game by the same name.

My condolences. I genuinely empathize with that feeling of having lost a lot of work on something. I just wanted to add two things to the other replies:

1. While your awesome base may have been lost, the experience that you gained from making it is not. You’re a better base builder now than you were then, and you have a seasoned eye for the kind of setting that will make for an amazing new project.

2. I think NMS tries very hard to (and is very successful at) teaching us to embrace ephermerality, to let go and be comfortable with the process of continually moving forward. Our character is merely one of an infinite number of instances of some entity that experiences time and space in an infinite way… All of the amazing things we have ever discovered are collectively less important than the act of discovery itself…

Even now, there is a virtually endless universe out there, with millions of sights that no one has ever seen, including – especially – those that you have yet to create yourself.

Same, and I thought the “I” was just a separator… So I got to be excited all over again once I realized this implies there may be “Part 2” at some point.

Ugh, finally –

Fixed an issue that prevented Cream Fingers from being edible.

Those floating islands with their own waterfalls look amazing, can’t wait to set up a base on one.
