Young me : because egg

+1 for Solasta. I was playing it on Xbox with friends and loved it. There’s also the option for user made adventures I believe, which opens up so many possibilities.

I bought Terraria a few months ago while I was buying some other games on sale and it’s legit all I’ve been playing. I absolutely love this game for the depth of he crafting system and the cosmic horror themed bosses and setting. Really just the whole thing is so well crafted.

That’s unfortunate, I was honestly looking forward.to this

The Long Dark

That’s it lads! Rock and Stone!

This is sea of thieves for me. I had a friend who was obsessed with it, but you’re basically required to dump multiple hours in to complete anything and even then … You could get your ship sunk and lose it all. It’s incredibly frustrating.

I’m interested, because I’m having the opposite experience. I can not for the life of me get my HP network printer to work with Debian. I’ve added it through CUPS, and it works well for a bit, but then after a few restarts I have to add it again.

This makes me so happy. I’ve been wanting to start a project to scrape fandom for a while so I can just have the info without accessing their godawful website. Any time I need info on something in a game I get hit with 5 results from fandom and some half-related articles in the search results.

That is way less common than you seem to think it is. Most online payments are fairly secure.

Just picked up Terraria and I’m loving it. I played Starbound a while back and read that it was more or less a spiritual successor to Terraria. Terraria has all the things I wanted to see from Starbound. The crafting system is so expansive. The difficulty is real though, I travelled through 2 biomes and hit something with large beetles and cave worms that chomped me to death. Zombies, floating eyes, and slimes were no problem. Same for the mobs in the desert, easy…but once I hit that 3rd biome I was in trouble, even with my metal armor.

I’m gonna agree that the first two are more or less forgotten/less discussed than the newer games.

Love the OG Ogre Battle. I played that game like crazy. I always appreciated how you could revisit locations for loot and battles.

Any links to things you can do with that JSON file? I don’t really know Java but it’d be cool to mess around with it in Python some. Searching “reddit python JSON” is obviously not very helpful.

I’m 33 and learned about PC gaming mostly from my grandfather when I was about 10. He had games like Jazz Jackrabbit, Jill of the Jungle, and other early era Sierra games. He also introduced me to Nethack for which I am eternally grateful! He continued playing games and using 3d rendering software until he lost his eyesight in his late 60s, and even then used a screen reader to use a computer for some other things. I think any cutoff age is going to be largely dependent on what social circles you’re discussing and what area you’re in.

Oof. Thanks for mentioning this.

I haven’t really found anything else that touches on it either, but I do still understand the point. The idea that no one else went on record discussing it doesn’t make it a non-issue though.

I think those are honestly fair points, and I don’t see it changing in the mainstream either. That doesn’t mean that we can’t approach the situation with respect and understand that we can describe games using different terminology, even if it’s a little more difficult to do so.

Same honestly, pretty eye opening to how we just flat out miss things like that. I also always loved touring the genre as my favorite. Communication like this is pretty important because it’s a reminder that things which seem innocent could actually be an issue to others.

Not really shocked to read the reaction in these comments.

People always get irate when someone points out that language they’ve been using for a long time is actually inherently problematic and perform all kinds of mental gymnastics to avoid admitting it.
