I've been catching up with some games I buy for the kids, and recently played Planet of Lana and Gris on the switch. Both show an interesting trend, in that they're very beautiful games, but strangely empty.
I notice this in particular with the first, because it reminds me a lot in how the character steers of @jmechner 's Prince of Persia, or Flashback. And compared to either of these games, there is very little going on in each screen in terms of obstacles or puzzles.
Not so long ago, I finished parking about 900 computing related papers, books and magazines in my paperless instance. I felt like I'd finally finished the annoying work of fixing titles and tagging stuff.
If you're looking for a lightweight space gaming system, you could check out Stars Without Number: Revised Edition. The full rules are free on drivethrurpg. I never played Traveler, but others have described it as Traveler without baggage.
@geekischade I'm not really looking for systems, except that I'm always looking for systems. I've bought more systems than I've played, because it's an area of interest to me from a game design point of view.
Realistically, I'd probably play Traveller, GURPS or possibly Space Master (this one mostly because I know RM rather well).
So we finished watching the Fallout TV show the other day, and... well let's just say it's a stark reminder that the main plots are not the strength of the game series.
Without wanting to spoiler anything, the show follows a similar-ish thread as the main quest of Fallout 3 for one character, but adds in the perspectives of two other characters - which the games might have provided in side quests or message logs you might have found, etc.
Antenne Bayern so: In Garmisch-Partenkirchen gab's schwere Unwetter, weswegen überlegt wird, Silberjodid vom Flugzeug auf Unwetterwolken zu sprühen. Ist toxisch, aber net so wild.
Experten so: ist schwierig, weil man die richtige Menge an den richtigen Ort zum richtigen Zeitpunkt bringen muss, und das mit oft nur 10 Min Vorwarnung.
Anderer Typ: kostet weniger als der Schaden, der entstehen könnte.
I love that my kids enjoy Dino Dana, and I share their enjoyment. For some reason this spin-off is so much better than the original Dino Dan.
But then there are a bunch of cameos for Dan. He's grown too old, it's clear why they made the new series. But they continuously establish the relationship to the original.
This person, by the way, is somewhat made up in that it's a distillation of a bunch of people's hedgehog moments (roll into a ball, spikes out). But I've certainly known people who were predominantly that.
And no, I have no clear answer other than plenty of time, and sort of... living a different example next to them. Which I can't do with everybody.
