    Apocalypter: mad max meets the gear head garage!

    So another little title I've waiting for has dropped today: Apocalypter. The bastard son of gear head garage, the long drive, and mad max. And lemme tell ya!... You ain't max. You're a background NPC. If you work REAL hard, put in the effort, be the smartest of the smart, the toughest of the...

    Asus Rog ally, anyone have an experience?

    I've been wanting to get a non-nintendo portable game system for a bit now. Mostly something that would make it easy to do emulation. Okay, truthfully, I've been waffling on modding my switch to do what I want because I'm probably never going to buy another nintendo title that isn't on a...

    Windrose: It's the pirate life for me!

    So you know the drill: open world, crafting, survival game. THIS TIME; pirate themed. And hug me; it's good. Souls lite combat, sailing and naval combat, factions to work with, ruins to loot and undead to kill... wait, what? Yup, they managed to work zombies into the game. I have exactly zero...

    The 2026 american state of the union!

    Co-opting TV even up here in canada: what are you all going to be doing when you don't watch it? And I urge you to NOT watch it, as it will be lie filled bullshit, and the only message trump understands or cares about is low ratings. I'm running through pacific drive right now. Love me a good...

    SteamOS: let's talk about it.

    So; I know it's a linux distro, I know it's compatible with desktops and laptops. Has anyone here actually used it in a desktop pc? Or at all? Cause, not gonna lie; if I can legitimately get away from windows... I want to.

    Hytale: the comeback story to rival "no man's sky".

    Or; Oh no, it's actually good... So there's a long story behind hytale's development; I'm not interested in talking about it in this particular post. Some people are calling it the minecraft killer, I don't agree, but it IS applying some serious selection pressure on microsoft to actually...

    Erenshor!

    I bought some games with my christmas gifts (the joys of giving up on family ever getting you transformers and simply pre-ordering everything you want. You get steam money instead of excuses.), and have been playing Erenshor. Since you all know me: it's an open world, survival crafting game...

    *sigh* so now it's become one of "those" day...

    So... a few weeks ago, the cylinder on my desk chair started dying. A couple of days ago I ordered the replacement, it arrived yesterday evening, and I went to replace it this morning. It's a standard mechanism, and I've done it before. An easy job, if physically demanding. Between the crushing...

    FUMES!

    Where twisted metal meets mad max: Fumes. Of course, an open world, survival crafting game! Ha! Kidding! It's an open world car combat game. My other jam, and a genre that is often done very, very poorly. But this one is just aces. The story so far: I picked a fight I couldn't win, and...

    The PC building and repairing thread.

    Cause I know there's a bunch of us who do tech work for either a living, or for family and friends (usually under duress.), and I wanted to share a strange experience. So I built a cheap assed PC for my nephew. It was a birthday gift, it was mostly spare parts, and the intent was to give him an...

    Lost skies

    Alright, so years ago, literally just before the live service thing started, there was a game called "Worlds adrift". I think some of the old timers might even remember me talking about it back then. You built airships, swung around on a grapple hook, and explored a world of floating islands...

    The World of Warcraft thread

    *drums a tattoo on desktop* So... Does anyone still play WoW? Cause, like, I used to play back when. I hit a wall after mists of pandera (panderia?) dropped: played for like 2 days and realized... I just did not want to go through that whole grind again even though I was only about halfway...

    Happy New Year!

    For what it will be worth, given the state of the world: happy new year my friends. May you find some measure of peace, stability and happiness in this rotation.

    Rogue Heroes; ruins of tasos!

    Alright, you all know the drill; it's open world, survival crafting... wait... it's NOT?!?!?!? It's actually a top down roguelite inspired by legend of zelda, specifically the one on the snes. And my god I am having a blast. You're one of the heroes called by the four goddesses to stop the...

    The BRAND NEW, refreshed and welcoming... covid thread! Yay!

    So I started coughing powerfully hard on friday afternoon. Passed my last meal back into the environment. Kept coughing saturday, and only managed to keep about half my meals. It's a weird sensation: feeling your stomach being empty... but not being hungry. I tested myself sunday morning, I...

    Abiotic Factor

    So sorry to interrupt... Mr. Freeman, but you see... You're not gordon freeman. *gets beat with a pipe* So... a CLOSED world, survival crafting game. With graphics straight out of half life 1. And so far... it's pretty awesome. I've killed extra dimensional rats, crafted makeshift weapons, and...

    Tarisland! A classic styled MMO.

    "Mom! Can we stop and have World of Warcraft?" "We have WoW at home!" The WoW at home is tarisland. Alright, so I saw a (brief.) play session through one of the youtubers I routinely watch. And he made it look good. So good, in fact, that I signed up (free!) and gave it a shot. So: it looks...

    The "What made you happy today" thread!

    Cause we all need to remember that we can be happy, even if life ain't perfect. So what did you, or what happened that made you happy today? Even if only for a few minutes? I bought some crispy m&ms at the discount store, and went to TRU. Didn't find jive I was willing to pay for: but I had an...

    Of sleeves and instruction sheets.

    Couldn't find an appropriate thread, so I just... yeah. So I've been working on keeping my instruction sheets sorted, organized and protected over the last few years. Some of y'all might remember I had another thread about this a ways back. Well, because of a garage sale we had, I wound up...

    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?
