next up: Harmony!
^ - 1: Outer Wilds. There's so much out there to explore and when it's all explored there's even more, but what makes it so different from something like Elite or NMS is that it's all handcrafted and created to tell an emotional story strung together with perfect threads of exploration and a wonderful aesthetic of camping out under the stars

$ - 3. Fortnite
Say what you want about it but I fucking love this game. It's constantly evolving and changing and playing a match is less like playing a battle royale and more like playing an open-world game that changes over time, with other players thrown in being just another part of the small challenges. It really feels like something that could be played forever

$ - 2. Tales From Off-Peak City Vol. 1
I only have two hours in this and yet have already completed it three times. There's so much to it for being such a short, simple game. It has a camera with different types of film and exposure settings to take weird and cool photos of this generally weird and cool place, and there's so much to come back to that it's gotta be on the list

$ - (though E:D tends to have a bit more combat depth than NMS, NMS actually has a surprising amount of story and lore and also has a broader range of things to do sometimes).

$ - I'll start.
1. Toss-up between Elite: Dangerous and No Man's Sky
they both have practically infinite procgen universes of course but that doesn't equate to content. The way they're implemented, however, absolutely does. Both have so many pretty star systems, fun combat encounters, legitimately interesting and engaging randomized events, and a surprising amount of depth to their mechanics (thread)

$ - today we asked some friends about what three games they think they could play for the rest of their lives (assuming that servers stay up, and games that are updated often still are updated frequently for the duration of their lives). we'd like to ask this question here as well: what games do you think have enough content, replay value and general fun that you think you could replay them for the rest of your life?
please reply with your answer, and an explanation if you feel like writing one.

if Twitter is birdsite is this mammothsite

$ - I have no further elaboration and cannot explain why these words entered my thoughts

$ - this post is a result of being awake at 3:56 AM after spending hours watching Scott the Woz, categorizing BattleTech media into neat little folders and playing Bit.Trip

$ - mr monopoly is a bitch ass motherfucker

Itch removed the "we know you want an add all button" box from the racial justice and equality bundle page
so it's probably safe to assume they're not bothering to add it...

this happened last night. fortunately it's not much more than an annoyance since the buyback is only 22,000 credits for this ship, but it definitely soured that session

check chat. turns out the player supposedly wasn't intending to kill and was confused why the ship blew up at 30% hull (idk why either) the first time but the second time was intentional because we fired back. we log off frustrated to wait for them to leave

Elite: Dangerous story! (thread)
we've just arrived at Felicity Farseer's station, and find out that we need to bring her some metal alloys. no problem. exit hangar, take off... get fired upon.
turn around and try to kill the other player and they pop the hull in a few seconds from I don't even know what weapon.
annoying, but workable. lots of credits to spare for buying back the ship and attempting takeoff again.
...get killed again by the same player.

(it's also pay-what-you-want on Bandcamp so... https://sanctumalteria.bandcamp.com/album/identify)

"identify" is now on YouTube for easier access! It's my first track without help from Harmony or Amy
collaborations between our system members and more original tracks from each of us coming soon

samples for switching during DJ sets

shouting at people telling them to vote, amid conditions of unprecedented voter suppression, does nothing. stop doing it

hey if we find a star system in Elite with less or more than two stars does that make it a non-binary system
