Valheim is one of the better in the genre. Idk why but the building is so satisfying!

At this point, I feel like the meme hate is what keeps it going. Trying to get shock value and some kind of rise out of the audience.

The first few times were funny. I do not understand why this meme was picked to go viral.

Wonderful! Our monstera stopped making babies recently, but it’s become gigantic, practically unmanageable.

It’s supposed to represent Ben Kenobi from the original star wars I think. Or more generally, a wizard-y sage robe.

Edit: it’s also just a meme, with its own understood meaning.

I’m kind of an early access freak, but I put in about 80 hours and enjoyed it. There were definitely problems early, and I don’t plan on going back to it for at least a year, enough for them to release substantially more and it feels fresh.

Yeah that’s fair.

It feels bad to see this giant wall of DLCs, just feels like a cash grab. I appreciate the transparency anyway, and I don’t have to participate to enjoy it.

I’m on year 2 of the game, and rarely notice bugs. There’s this arena boss fight you can do, my wife died and teleported outside the area, but her crossbow shots traveled infinitely and could still damage the same boss I was stuck in the arena with. Random stuff like that, certainly nothing game breaking, no crashes or anything.

Compared to Stardew Valley, it’s much more heavy on quests. SV has some basics, but it’s pretty much just build the community center, upgrade your house, get married, etc. It’s also much heavier on skill progression. You’ll eventually use magic for nearly everything if you (mining, tree harvesting, watering, fishing, etc.).

Sun Haven also has 3 different towns, all roughly the size of Stardew Valley (the main town is bigger though).

Which leads me into my only real complaint. You will have a farm in all 3 towns, with their own houses, crops, barn animals, and quests. If you play alone, it’s kind of a lot to manage. It’s just my wife and I that play, but if I played on my own, I would probably only focus on one town at a time, which feels weird. I’d rather the game introduce something like a familiar that can slowly take care of things while I’m gone doing other stuff.

If it matters they’re all skins that don’t really matter, purely cosmetic. I bought and played the game, on year 2.

If you’re opposed on principle, I get it, but IMHO extra cosmetic packs aren’t predatory. What you get for your money is clear (unlike loot boxes) and you aren’t paywalled behind new content (so no FOMO).

A lovely lady behind the Wendy’s

Scrolled through a ton of comments but honestly this sums it all up for me. Lemmy isn’t large enough to support niche memes and content.

Slang that went something like “god damn!” -> “gyat damn!” -> “gyat!”

Generally said when you see a big booty.

I had to look this up, didn’t know about Bowie. He had underage groupies, at least as young as 15 (Lori Mattix). Apparently she remembers that time fondly, but today we would rightly call it coercion and pedophilia. She was treated kindly, probably given all the drugs she “wanted”, but that’s still a child.

There’s a counter argument about how later in life, he refused a kissing scene between him and Jennifer Connelly during Labyrinthe, and that shows he understands the age gap is wrong.

I don’t regularly listen to David Bowie. I can sometimes separate the art from artist, but I’m now gonna have trouble knowing he was having sex with (raping) a 15 year old girl.

Eric Clapton is super racist, John Lennon abandoned his kid.

As a counterpoint, I like it in video games for the same irl reason: it saves time.

I do love games where it feels alive when traveling on foot/horse/etc. but I would rather fast travel if I’ve already explored it, generally speaking.

Generally I tell players they need to pick a specific point for the cube so that it exactly fits the grid. It just keeps things more objective, speeds up combat.

I also generally prefer more structure and strict rules for things though.

What if I call it Tylenol but always buy the generic anyway?

People have lost trademark rights because it’s too ubiquitous.

Aspirin was literally the brand name by Bayer but lost it.

People who had you listed will just see “Deleted Account” instead of your name, and a little ghost as your avatar.

They will still see your chat history though.

“at least once a week”?

That’s crazy lol. I’ve had a couple once a week games over the years, but most of the time we’ve done every other week. Everyone is just too busy. Granted we have a larger group going right now, 6 players in both my big games that play every other week.

Oh muh lawd Quercus is the name of oak trees??

Quercus is a squirrel character in Divinity Original Sin 2, who is trying to stop the Great Acorn from destroying all non-squirrel life.
