  • Vintage story is one of the best survival games. Difficulty wise it seems dauntingly high at first. Strange Eldritch monsters and unforgiving wilderness. Then you discover knapping. Things get a lot easier. You hunt. Discover cooking. Food preservation. Pottery. Then you make your first pickaxe. Probably 10 hours in. Suddenly things don’t seem so hopeless.

    Then a temporal storm hits. Difficulty is suddenly increased once again. You die a few times.

    This cycle continues throughout. You think you’ve finally got it figured out. “This food should last” then winter hits.

    It’s not an unforgiving game. It’s fair and you have to learn it to prosper. Eventually you will have a town and a mill. A smithy. Farms galore.

    You earn the right to explore in Vintage story




  • What Video Games Have You Played Recently?

    I recently finished Indika which is this strange little indie game where you play as a nun in the Russian Orthodoxy and my god. It was perfect, an insane story, the set-pieces were excellent, and the discussions on theology were very well written and for someone never really exposed to religion much it was very interesting.

    Favorite Video Game Genre?

    Probably social deduction multiplayer games. I do really enjoy a good single player story, but nothing is as addictive to me as a good game of SS14 or 13. There is so much fun to be had and every game you play is unique.

    What did you like most from the recent TGA 2024, assuming you watched it or know of the announcements

    Probably my most anticipated game from there is The Long Dark II just because a multiplayer version of that game should be fun. I anticipate zomboid but without zombies which should be fun
