I’m a big fan of Dwarf Fortress and Brogue. This aesthetic always get’s me! I love the typing idea. That hasn’t been done before afik! If you planned to push it more you could add colors, like the wheat can be yellow, or you could paint your fence. I see a lot of potential here with barns and silos!

In 2015 i was fortunate enough to have a job offer in both Montreal and Melbourne. I loved visiting Melbourne and still have friends living there. But I absolutely can’t take the heat. I would indeed prefer -20 winters to +40 summers!

I played a lot of C&C, but can’t say I explored much else in their catalog!

Winter in Montreal can be beautiful, but brutal and way too long. -20 for weeks straight, and occasional dips into -30+. Meters of snow. Power outages because trees break from the weight of ice. It’s very challenging. But summer here is sublime. Makes you appreciate it more.

Well jeez, if Montreal looked like that this time of year i’d gladly go for winter walks! It’s -15c, windy, and covered in snow and ice! My face hurts after walking two blocks to the cafe!

There’s also carpet, even though you never see one in any movie. “Will someone get this walking carpet out of my way”

Öoo looks fun! I haven’t seen that before. Also gotta give Pipistrello a chance. It looks better each time I look at screenshots! I always mix it up with Penny’s Big Breakaway.

Having save states is a huge plus, i’d almost recommend playing roms over carts now!
Having legit hardware on a CRT is rad for a couple hours, then you just want to save your game and come back later, but can’t!

My choice to have a kid came more from financial/job stability and space in the apartment. Finding a stable partner is important too, but that without the others just means a happy marriage without kids.

I love when actually really good artists have to try and draw poorly for the story.

It’s almost like they trusted actors and writers to do their jobs!

I wonder who did this style of fps dungeon first? Ultima?
Btw, have you played UFO50? There’s a game called Valbrace that’s a lot like this and it’s awesome!

It comes from our parents, friends, or educators. It gets internalized and the critic puts so much pressure on us to be perfect that if we make a mistake we feel shame in the pit of our stomach. It’s correlated with self-esteem and self-efficacy. Someone confident, like you, can embrace mistakes. <3

Sorry, this looks a lot like it was AI gnerated. Where did you find the photo? Juno has been taking pictures of Jupiter since 2016, and I can’t find this in it’s archives. Thanks.

Omg, this was one of the PC games I remember the most, but almost everyone forgets! There were so many interesting mechanics to it that were never used again. Like limited troops for your whole campaign is a really clever idea! And giving them all names makes you more attached!
