I got excited hoping this was set in John DeChancie’s Skyway book series, oh well.

In those books, the trucks don’t fly, they follow an ancient road across planets through Stargates basically. The series goes into the origin of the road and follows the trouble chasing the MC and his passengers.

Looks like book 1 is on Archive. https://archive.org/details/starrigger0000dech

I’ve played many hours of Ship Graveyard Simulator, and I’m not sure why. It’s not actually fun.

It’s not a game, really. It’s a platform and store for kids to make free games that other kids play. Every game I’ve tried has been quite basic, nothing as complex as a $10 indie.

The games’ makers can earn Robux by putting micro transactions in their games (click here to pay $3 to be able to jump twice as high only in this game), so inevitably “real” developers moved in and churn out dozens of clones of whatever game happens to be successful with the elementary school kids this month, and they cram them full of MTX. It’s super gross.

These videos are annoyingly presented, but show a variety of games. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL700D9A1A020A1996

“Tycoon” games are massively popular, where you earn x in-game dollars per minute and spend then to build your school or prison or farm or whatever piece by piece. (E.g. 5,000 to build this wall, 2,000 to build the chairs in the room) Kids also love “Obbys” (Obstacle courses). Parkour type games.

It’s the worst of the mainline games story-wise, for sure. The mechanics are fine.

Noted, thank you.

I’ve never played this. How does it hold up? I don’t care about graphics, I’m a patient gamer.

The format really didn’t lend itself to substantive answers. Only 2 minutes each and 1 minute to respond to each other.

I thought it said “make fungi more delicious” and I got excited.

Not I.

That looks fun as heck, and I wasn’t a particular MMPR fan growing up.

I’m very happy here. I joined during the reddit blackouts, and honestly I picked it because of the name and was comforted by The Dude and later his deputies’ soft hand on the community.

I mostly browse /all, but I do spend time on /local to see my neighbors and it’s fun to watch the communities grow!

I don’t think the models absorb new information from questions, do they?

An Apple II game called Wizardry.

Took me a second because I think it the “5 second rule” as “you can still eat it if it’s been on the floor for 5 seconds”, so I was trying to figure out if the bad guy ate the knife!

I would think the artist has a copyright by default as usual but that the license is irrevocably transferred to the wearer when money is transferred. If the artist retained the license anyone with a tattoo would need to pay a license fee whenever they use their own likeness for work, which is crazy.

It’s a strange, fun, question for sure!

That looks kind of neat. Is it basically a point and click adventure?

I’ve never played a Homeworld game, but I’ve been mildly interested for 15 or twenty years. What game should I try first?

I used an app called Twilight for years to dim the screen further than allowed and add the red tint at night. Worked a treat.

That’s a great idea!

How is it at everyone’s favorite trashcan? Or the series of egg-mechs?
