Against the Storm has this "one more turn" compulsion. Though it isn't turn based. But you just wait for your woodcutters to reach that little glade. Then for your scouts to grab that loot. Then get firewood and food ready for the heavy rain season. And then Drizzle season starts so lets see what bonuses the Queen has to offer and what settler caravans are passing through. And lets make sure those settlers have housing... Played six hours today it seems.

I braved my first big storm in Against The Storm. Which is a fancy way of saying I reset the map. It is a rogue-like city builder? A magic storm covers the world so it is raining constantly. Every few years a cataclysmic storm drowns everything. Some weird, mysterious queen has the magic power to hold the storm at bay and so people survive in her citadel. When it is safe to go out, you, a viceroy or something like that, organize expeditions to (re)establish settlements in the surrounding areas. The nifty thing, until the reset those villages are persistent, so when you work on a new settlement, you can trade with the previous villages you built. Working on the first village of the new era. It is going through that tricky early period where I am lacking in some resources. This time it is food. And there isn't anyone to trade with yet. Luckily this is a mutant forest, so while my human settlers have a couple of plantations running and lizard folk trappers steal insect larvae, the beaver woodcutters get meat as a byproduct of cutting trees.

10 days, no screenshots. If you want something to get done right (or at all) you have to do it yourself... Beavers, humans, and lizardfolk building villages in the rain:

I am not sure if you are talking about Elden Ring or Total War 3. And only because there isn't a third AAA title just out I am aware of or aware of people here playing.

That explains a lot

I think when they made the forum they misunderstood the "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" line. What happens on the Obsidian forum stays on the Obsidian forum...

You made one post for each faction you finished the game with?

Congratulations! That's the sci-fi Gothic spin off game, right?

With Paradox's dlc policy that works out as one hour per dlc.

It is overrated. Chill only plays it to pass the time because we can't get another two people to play MW5 with us. Just because MW5 is kinda mediocre.

Now that your secret is out, you know you won't be able to convince people

I have a theory that Bruce just pretends to be the forum's friendly nice guy and in reality his posts are all meant sarcastic. "Great decision to play DY2"

I might be adopting a cat. Vet friend had a 12 year old cat with diabetes brought in. The lady wants to have him euthanized. So the vet is looking into rescuing the cat.

Earthlock 2 is delayed to 2023 because they switched engine from Unity to Unreal.

I never dared play that. Was it that bad?

Anne is moving and grooving Ben must be compensating for something So Alisa knocks him out of the screenshot

I bought Ni No Kuni II because it was real cheap. I have no idea what I got myself into.

Conan lend itself to that kind of game though. Dune, as a setting, really doesn't.

Can't be all that bad if you can spend the meetings chatting with us.

The Conan reskin Funcom is doing sounds even worse

Hmm, There isn't anything you can do about a wooden floor other than thick carpet. Though concrete floor can also be loud. For drywall a roll of fibreglass/glasswool helps quite a bit. But that would mean opening the walls up.

What's the issue? I am against tacking on in general. Unless it is the only option. What's your drywall, what is inside it? How old is it?

Meh, about the Dune game. Devs making a huge deal about having Atreides in green because they are "true to the book" then make Harkonnen red instead of blue (or blue/orange). Some of the advisors also are the farthest any depiction of the characters has ever been from the book. Take your liberties. But then don't spend all that effort patting yourself on the back for having green uniformed Atreides because you are staying true to the book. Water-fat devs...

And so it begins. With a visit of a very confused butcher. Who may be thinking what you think she is thinking. And indeed was thinking what you thought she was thinking. And everyone is shocked at how the nice floor was ruined.

Maybe they got inspired by Paradox and make everyone DLCs. Or they got inspired by themselves and make everyone an amiibo...
