@lemmy.mlIf you liked Frostpunk, have a look at Ixion.
You're on a space station, basically the same thing. Except it's one large campaign, not like Frostpunk's limited format. Honestly I think Frostpunk is the superior game, but Ixion is pretty good.
I'm a Linux system admin, I literally do this for a living, and I usually feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.
I play games online with a guy from Norway and he was telling me somebody from his town had an imported Dodge Ram.
And I said let me guess - he revs the engine at stop lights, spins out of every single parking lot, and roars through town like a maniac. "How did you know?" They all drive that way! I guess even in Norway they do. I think maybe they get a manual with the vehicle.
Now I'm wondering if my board supports one. I think it'd be cool if my big fancy custom cooling loop gaming build sounded like it's from the early 90s.
Heck I remember when you had to read "bleep bloops". POST codes came in beeps, and that's how you knew why the computer wouldn't start.
Sometimes I miss em, wish it gave those in addition to the modern indicators. Then I could just tell without even looking.
Sometimes I like to make up horrific magic items if they're in the dungeon of an evil wizard or lich or something. Nothing that has impact on the players, just spooky flavor.
An orb that intercepts the Sending or Message spell when it's used to call for help, and redirects them to a recorded message that mocks the sender.
An amulet that nullifies the effects of all wishes except for ones made by the Wish spell. This includes wishes upon shooting stars, wishing wells, wishing bugs, wishbones, birthday candles, white horses, dandelions, and the hopes of children. This effect extends for 100 miles and there is no save against it.
Collar of unlimited command - wearer of the collar is subject to the Command spell, but without the restriction of instructions that can't be followed. So something like "fit through that keyhole" will be followed even though it's impossible. It will be made possible, horribly.
I got that a while back talking about old video games. "Eww you played DOS games? What a boomer"
No, no that makes me mad. I was learning to navigate the DOS shell to set up Duke Nukem (skills I still use at my job today) while my boomer parents yelled at me to stop wasting my life on the computer and come in the living room to watch another six hours of Bonanza reruns.
That's the difference. Bah, burns me up
Amazing the time when arcades were soooo much better than home consoles.
Like, there was a time when a home console was pretty good at simulating the arcades, but that was about it.
I like the Far Cry games and while they do have their misses, Far Cry 5 was a pretty darn good one.
Better than 4, better than 6. Villains are for real spooky, the sidekicks are all pretty fun. Also it introduced The Ballad of Clutch Nixon to the world, and that alone is worth it.
IMO, phillips is for electronics and some small applications. Something you're really not putting much pressure on and probably driving by hand and not a power tool.
