I picked Subnautica back up because I wanted to try a randomizer mod. Thought it might add a fun twist to the game, but even though it made the start a little bit more difficult it really just made everything more tedious because I had to swim to shallow water to get early game materials. Basically all that’s randomized is my spawn location and the blueprint fragments are semi-randomized.

I only made progress after restarting twice because the first time my lifepod spawned way too far towards the edge and I was eaten by a ghost leviathan as soon as I left the lifepod. The second start I had a good spawn but I had randomize recipes on and did you know there are like a million different seeds in the game? That’s not really the experience I was looking for lol.

This game is so unbelievably good it’s such a disservice people keep attributing these fake screenshots to it. It’s actually incredible how relevant its themes still are.

It’s a pity it didn’t see more success because it had so much potential. The tablet had a lot of utility.

Interesting! This kinda stuff always kinda gives me the creeps even when it shouldn’t haha.

It’s heavily encouraged! 3D printed ships are pretty popular, and it’s not too hard to make your own. Ben, the current custodian has a pretty fleshed out series of custom ships that most of the community accepts as “officially unofficial” so the community is very open to proxies, homebrews, and custom stuff.

I was so enthralled with this concept when I was in school but could never rope anyone into playing it with me lol. Totally forgot about it til now.

It’s a huge multimedia franchise and the de-facto video game that people think of when you mention games. It’s got to be SMB.

I used to spend hours editing metadata for my music library on my computer but it was a constant uphill battle. My “various artists” and “unknown album” are still a mess.

I accidentally downloaded a version of Du Hast back in the day that had a whole bunch of StarCraft unit quotes mixed into it that my dad fell in love with, despite never playing StarCraft. He literally likes it better than the real version lol.

I use mine in my car as well, it still works fine though. My car is from that weird era where cars had Bluetooth connectivity with phones but it doesn’t work well enough to where I can just hop in my car and have it work, so if I’m in a rush and can’t set my phone up I’ll just throw on one of my iPod playlists and I’m all good!

Why not?

15 hours? Try two hours the night before it’s due. One year I recycled my older brother’s project (my parents encouraged this behavior.)

I did not succeed in college.

Love the couple that were super impressed by the guy drifting lol

That show was so underrated. Pity it ended so quickly.

I can third it. It totally feels like you’re playing an RTS but without having to study build orders and practice your micro.

If anyone out there has never played Minecraft with a group you have got to give it a shot. Exploring and building together is really so much fun, it can’t be understated!

Usually I get a few friends to play on a realm or something but they always lose interest after a couple weeks. I just joined a more regular playgroup with a well maintained server, though, and it’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had in Minecraft.

It’s the only way I can get my partner to play board games with me, which is really disappointing because I absolutely love the tactility of game pieces. It saves the trouble of cleaning off a play area and setting up and breaking down the games but that never really bothered me.

I love me an underrated Bug superstar. In Black I used a Leavanny as mine and it cleaned house. When I played Omega Ruby my Masquerain carried my team and took me totally by surprise.

Big eyebrow raise at having Piers Anthony on there. Loved his books as a teen but looking back they are just gross. The Xanth books are relatively tame compared to some of his stuff but I would still never recommend them.

I love that Jonathan Strange is on there though, what a fantastic book.

And God forbid you look for anything involving troubleshooting your home network. Good luck sorting through pages and pages of the same copy and pasted article telling you how to restart your router.
