    Now this is how you spend a warm spring afternoon!

    A nice breeze, a hot cup of tea, and a sunny back deck... in the path of totality for the solar eclipse. It just began in my lattitude, so I'm steeping some tea and will check once I get a nice cuppa. Anyone else going to be observing today?

    Request to identify accessories!

    Hey all. Long story short: I had space to fill between two titans when I put up my new shelves. So I wound up throwing volcanicus up there. In the process of digging the dinobots out of the bins, I was dismayed by the volumes of loose bits... in a 18 gallon rubber maid bin full of loose toys. I...

    Nightingale: this time; STEAMPUNK... open world, survival, crafting...

    Oh boy, another early access title, here we go again! Alright, so, I've played an hour and a half so far. I am looking forward to playing again. That said: This game is NOT ready. Why is it not ready? Largely associated with server issues, optimization and enemy AI issues. Is it playable...

    Of renovations... and mission creep...

    It started thursday morning. I was of the mind to move some of my wall art around, and install a new shelf. The art comes off the wall, I start patching holes, and I check my hardware for the matching shelf brackets... which I clearly no longer have. I start looking it up to see if I can still...

    Enshrouded: where Oblivion meets minecraft!

    A glib descriptor to be sure, but accurate. Anywho: I have a type, I know what I like, blah blah blah, moving on. Potato faced (and shaped!) people, a largely empty world, and a toxic cloud full of angry mushroom men. Welcome to enshrouded. Long story short: drugs destroyed the world, and the...

    Adventures in troubleshooting, or why you try to keep old technology.

    Alright, so: I lost my internet this morning. It wasn't the router, the modem or the service... it was my PC's wireless antenna... which my fuckwit ginger cat chewed through. And of course, because I needed to fix something, I was immediately overwhelmed by everyone else needing technical help...

    Palworld! Where Ark meets pokemon.

    *watches lamball calmly walk through the campfire* We're just going to ignore that. So, despite the media: this is actually an open world, survival, crafting game. Much in the vein of ark, realistically. Yup, there is a massive monster catching mechanic similar to pokemon (but like pokemon go...

    Merry Christmas allspark!

    Hello everyone, and merry christmas. I know we normally have a loot thread, and santa has been kind to me this year: but how about instead, we just be grateful for the people we love, and the good things we already have in our lives. It's been a long couple of years, and I don't think I would...

    Icarus: I'm not even sure what this game is...

    Alright, because we all know I have a type: open world, survival crafting game. But... like... the distillation open world, survival crafting games? No zombies, no looting structures, no demons (though... terronaus are maybe?) nothing overtly outlandish or outrageous. I mean, it is a sci-fi...

    Starfield: bethesda's newest offering.

    Where oblivion meets fallout 4 and elite dangerous. In other words: it's the 24th century, humanity has begun the long process of settling the galaxy... and I'm still wandering around looking for ammo, super glue and duct tape. Excuse me; vacuum tape and sealant. I kid, I kid: I actually do...

    Palia; a cozy, animal crossing like MMO.

    So yeah... this thing: Palia Been playing since last night, and I gotta admit, it's not bad. Grindy, sure, but it's an MMO, so what do you expect? Bright colours, relaxing activities, calming music. If you want to unwind, this kinda does it. Grind resources, cook food, build a home, make...

    Gaming and idle clickers...

    Alright, so... I'm "playing" the perfect tower 2, actually as I type this. I'm just grinding resources, so it's on endless using my maxed modules (you all can get the game free on steam, so if'n you want to try it, you can.) and it's just... running. I want it to run, I want to build the in...

    The Stupid Purchases thread!

    Cause we all buy stupid shit... especially when drinking. I need to hide my wallet when I break out the whiskey. Anywho! I just bought a portable retro emulation console off aliexpress, cause of a sudden urge to play blake stone... while lying on my bed. To be fair: I've been toying with...

    The new 7 days to die thread!

    Because I can't seem to find if the new spark had one, and because the long awaited, highly anticipated, sometimes controversial alpha 21 (experimental.) finally dropped! So here's a new thread for the eternally in alpha 7 days to die. Mods: feel free to merge if necessary. So far, I've played...

    The Real Ghostbusters Comics 1-5 for sale.

    So here's the story. I acquired these a few years, read them and stored them in the comic box for loose ends, and then forgot I had them. This series specifically came up in the ghostbusters thread, so I went and found them out again and decided to see how long the series was and if it was...

    Adventures in home computing!

    Curiosity and a little skill, when combined, can be a scary thing. So randomly while killing time this morning (I was waiting for some delivery guys to show up.) I saw a video reviewing the intel arc GPU. Since the arc is one of the potential candidates when I build a future new computer, I...

    Empyrion: Galactic Survival.

    I had a thread about this ages ago on an allspark long lost. But I have playing again, so here we are. A brief recap for those who might not know: It offers building a la space engineers, but simplified, as well as a massive universe and many survival features (like hunger, and bad guys to kill...
