Was just telling my friends, had one of those instances where I lost a run, so I closed the game with the intent of going to go so something else, then found myself opening it again 2 minutes later… so addictive
I’m looking for recommendations on high quality open source games to try. Some of my favorite games I’ve played recently are Factorio, Kerbal Space Program, and Outer Wilds, but I’m willing to try many kinds of games (besides FPS).
This recently got a 1.0 release. Sort of in the same vein as dwarf fortress. Has a commercial version, but there’s also a free version that lacks the graphics and sound of the paid version, and is open source.
It’s been on my radar for years but I’ve still yet to try it out
When the article was first posted it said "Published in 2025…”, at least they corrected that heh. But yeah factorio had been around for a couple of years by then.
I have been playing a lot of the DOS version of Simcity 2000 recently. I grew up with it on my windows 98 pc, so revisiting it was nice. There were a few thing I picked up on that I never realized when I was young....
Thanks to the efforts of those continuing simmaster07’s line of work, namely Null 45 and memo, these sorts of revolutions are about to become more commonplace, bringing with them everything from improved game stability on modern systems, to long-requested new features and quality-of-life (QoL) improvements. Null 45 has already released over a dozen DLL mods on the STEX since November, one of the most recent of which allows more Building Styles. While I can’t reveal too much at this point in time, I will note that DLL files will become important components of major SC4 mods in the very near future. Suffice to say, we’re entering a very exciting time in the SC4 modding community.
Edit: the caveat being, these will only work on the digital release windows version of SC4
And here are my qBittorrent stats. I left my computer running for 6 days, I never thought I’d get this far! But that electricity bill’s gonna sting…...
Do you really think someone out there is going to see a random post where a guy says he has uploaded a bunch of… something and decide to try to investigate to find out what?
That’s not how it works. Even if he had included actual torrent names in the screenshot, the chances of someone caring enough to pursue it are infinitesimal.
I personally think we’re close to the high water mark, might see 2.5m, maaaybe 3 but I’m skeptical. You’ve seen most of what the game has to offer after 10 hours, and the jank + lack of story is sure to cause lots of people to bounce off of it pretty quickly. I think given some time it’ll improve, but by then you won’t get these crazy peak concurrent numbers.
TotK and Wonder were far from what I’d call filler… and from memory, Nintendo has a track record of releasing big name games at the tail end of a console’s life cycle (tp on GC, botw on Wii u)…
I admit they’re likely releasing the switch successor soon, though they’ll likely continue to release games for the OG switch for a few years to come…
I was definitely in the “played less than an hour” boat. Believe I got the demo from PC gamer, tried it (after reading a lot of the backlash) and never really gave it a chance. Based on your comment, I may have to correct that.
And fuck. I really miss plex. I’ve had Netflix and Hulu forever as family won’t let me cancel. Decided to sign up to Paramount + for some Trek. Twice in lower decks it didn’t save my watched episodes. Doesn’t mark episode as watched if you exit during the credits. And multiple playback issues....
Edit: also might add some sort of grippy, non-slip material to the bottom so it’s not entirely relying on sheer weight. Also, hot glue can secure the weights in the cavity so they don’t rattle.
He’s talking about 6~(?) months ago, they ditched the android specific codebase and ported the iPhone app to Android (“unified the codebase”) which made a lot of things shittier on the android side of things
Yeah I imagine it’d work great for an exclusive HTPC/10ft UI… steam’s big picture mode on Windows was often a bit awkward/buggy for me (I have it hooked up to my living room TV via HDMI)
Three years ago my wife and I got three pet rats. A little over a year later, we added two more, and for a brief moment had a lovely little mischief of five happy boys....
