Hello everyone. Hope all my fellow Americans are gonna have a good Thanksgiving next week. I had my birthday this past week which was fun and full of debauchery. Anyway I finished another playthrough of Disco Elysium, finally did 100% achievements after 5 playthroughs. I also played some Binding of Isaac, but I didn’t play the new update. Have a good week everyone

    So I started playing Dyson Sphere Program again because my kiddo asked me so he could watch. Then he went and watched tv instead… I’m a little sad because he seemed actually interested in learning stuff this time but whatever. In any case I’m at yellow jello and working on automating logistics stuff. I need to bootstrap processors and I fucking hate those in early game. But yeah it’s processors, manually carry them to my logistics factory until I get spinner hats and PLS/ILS set up. then after that is green and purple jello and start setting up fer end game mall and sphere. I want to make it a quick run so I’m not going for like a Terrawatt sphere this time or anything. Will probably keep it all in my local system too.

    I am also attempting to play Workers and Resources finally. And uh… it’s not going great. I’m trying to follow along bballjo’s beginner tutorial but I’m already having issues with heating, food, and clothing. I have a clothing factory set up but I need power and stuff to it. I set up a big farm and then got overwhelmed and just kind of quit last night. Anyone have any tips? I love the idea of a Soviet city builder but this thing is just way too serious lol.

    I’ve been playing kenshi. I have got to a decent point money and research wise using a house in Squin as my base and I’m just about ready to try and break out and make a stand alone base of my own.

    I wanted to have a few characters that could actually fight before I did this so I’ve been wandering around the borderlands this weekend looking for fights with bandits and mainly getting my arse handed to me.

    This is still my first play through so I mostly have no fucking idea what I’m doing but at least so far I’ve not lost any limbs of been dragged into servitude so at least I’ve got that going for me.

      Kenshi’s a lot of fun. It’s really hard to end up in a position where you really get stuck, so I enourage you to get in situations where you get captured or lose limbs.

      Also make sure to avoid the wiki and tour the continent.

        I very nearly for captured last night when exploring near stack for the first time but thankfully the mercs I hired took time out of their fight to come and beat up the guy that was carrying me away.

        I’m trying to avoid using too many resources unless I have to and just searching up specific questions when I can’t figure out how to do something. I went down the swamp and got obliterated by some red spider things and now as ive said started venturing up near the stack.

        I’d really like to find some engineering books so I can research plate armour before I branch out into building my own base but not sure yet.

        Either way it is fun, my attention just gets drawn in many directions at once as it is all still pretty new!

    I’ve been playing Tactical Breach Wizards and Star Wars: Outlaws.

    TBW is great - super fun puzzley turn based tactical combat.

    Outlaws is an open world Ubisoft game, for better or worse. I haven’t played one in years, so I’m enjoying this. Plus, I’m a big Glup Shitto fan

    Been playing Cities: Skylines. Just got up to 40,000 population. Probably the largest city I’ve built without chronic issues. I didn’t even put in a metro system until around 25k (and I still haven’t used a single traffic circle!). Still has room to grow.

    Bit late to the parade but I wound up playing a bit of Divinity: Original Sin with a friend from the TTRPG group that usually runs on Sundays. We wound up doing a lot of save scumming after getting some outcomes we didn’t like and some combats we were horribly under prepared for.

    Stalker 2 has been disappointing. Might end up somewhere good eventually, but until then I’m thinking about playing GAMMA again. Problem is that I updated it like an idiot and now all my hours of modding it last time are left as a broken mess of files to redownload. Think I’m gonna just have to start from a fresh install and rebuild my list. Gotta have my mags mod and my girl character to stalk the zone in search of artifacts. I guess I could put some more time into Zero Sievert for my fix instead, but it’s not as immersive and that’s what I like.

    Also rockin magic arena still, got a good monogreen hydra deck with an above-average win rate - though it’s still not as good as my black-red bloomburrow lizard aggrocragro deck.

      Have you played Sievert since the 1.0 release? I really enjoyed it when I played it but that was around a year ago now and I haven’t picked it up since the official “release”, wondering if they improved it or made it worse as some decisions they made during the run up to 1.0 weren’t super popular I seem to remember.

        Yeah I played the 1.0 release recently. It’s still the same kinda deal. Most of the former progression quests have been moved to procedural quests. I’m mixed on it. There are still some of them and It’s nice to not have progress gated behind getting x screwdrivers, but I miss, for instance, the ghoul nest or Lazar questlines. New skill and perk system is better, although I don’t think either really was that impactful. There are some cool new guns and the boar still are awful to deal with sometimes. Getting shreked from off-screen still happens a little but not too often. I think it’s a lot of fun to play right now all-in-all, despite all my criticisms. And if you play on difficulty settings where you don’t lose all your gear, it’s probably easy enough to push through the game at a reasonable pace too.

          Thanks for the info. I do intend to give it another go when I have time and it would definitely be nice not to have to keep returning to an area trying to find one specific item over and over again as that got a bit tiresome sometimes when the RNG gods were not looking down upon me favourably.

    Just starting some Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Gives me some major nostalgia vibes for A Link to the Past… maybe I should replay that, it’s been thirty years since I beat it.

    VTM: bloodlines playing as a doggirl-growl really appreciate how well the game holds up (with the unofficial patch that is) been watching hunter the parenting so got in the mood for world of darkness again. Trying to get through it without cheating but if I stop having fun then I’ll just keep playing around, gotten through the game legit before so nothing spoiled.

    Outer Wilds is really fun. I was looking for a good exploration game after beating Subnautica and this is really hitting the mark.

    I also want to start another Disco Elysium run. Not just because it’s a beautiful game, but because I need a whole bunch of screenshots to turn into proxies for my custom Disco Elysium-themed magic deck (Elmar, Ulvenwald Informant and Wernog, Rider’s Chaplain as Harry and Kim)
