Can you acquire a gun that shoots more guns?

Fantastic news. Now Whoopi Goldberg can play.

Agreed. It feels like a bunch of people broadcasting to the void with megaphones. Threaded forums are 100x better

I was watching Weather West on YouTube, who said coastal Southern California hadn’t seen a tropical storm landing since 1939

Yes, I love Factorio

I’m from the area. Another “fun” fact I saw on KGW News this morning:

The six hottest August overnight lows have all been in 2021-2023. Last night’s tied the 73 record for the day. The hottest low ever was during the 2021 heat dome where it only got down to 75 overnight (in June)

Fantastic! Thanks

Battlestar Galactica (the reboot

Thanks for reminding me. I need to re-watch that sometime.

Good. I remember it being shitty when I was forced to use it at a company a couple years ago

I’m just here for the thumbnail

That’s a paddlin’

“ human civilization will achieve a steady-state economy one way or another. Either we will plan for it and execute a plan that takes us as a global society on average down to a fraction of what we consume today. Or, nature will take its course and we will collapse down to a steady-state level of consumption”

That game is so addicting...

This isn't unique to video games. It can happen with anything that you spend a ton of time on, and either burn out on or start to develop more refined taste in. I've had it happen with:

• novels
• board games
• movies
• people

You start to see patterns, tropes, or just plain get burnt out on something. It's a sign you either need to take a break, or that your tastes have simply become refined enough that you require a higher bar to find something interesting.

I'm in my 40s and definitely don't play games as much as I used to. But there are still times I get sucked in and have a great time. Most recent example: Cosmoteer, a spaceship building game with loads of freedom and creativity. I'm also looking forward to the Factorio DLC and the Dyson Sphere Program combat update.

Edit: case in point that I can still get excited about games: I finally tried Shadows of Doubt and, wow, what an interesting game. It's like a Deus Ex shadowy sneak-around world with detailed voxel simulation.

though the enshittification phenomenon is a real thing, and why people should play more indie games

That was a moving piece. Thank you for sharing

Hopefully one of the DLCs adds land vehicles 🤞🏻
