On Play store:

“Demo: Single IAP unlocks full game.”

Wow THAT’S rare to see on Android. I’m giving that a shot! 😁 Thanks!!!

So I feel like Spelunky needs to be mentioned here. I haven’t played it in ages and need to give it more of a chance, but a lot of people love that one.

That’s cool! Always cool to read when someone finds an entry point to broadening their gaming horizons!

I’d highly recommend

• Enter the Gungeon
• Nuclear Throne
• FTL

The top two are fun frantic top-down shooters where you can feel yourself getting better between runs, barring terrible RNG luck of course. (But fighting against the odds is cool too.)

FTL is just a very “tight” experience. I’m sure other games have perhaps improved on its principles but it’s focused and knows exactly what it wants to be.

It’s sad and crazy that raw “usefulness” is one of very few motivators to put effort into protecting things at a national level.

Everything is a hostage standoff negotiation to capitalism. :(

All the Deus Ex games go for ridiculously cheap and are such a great fun-per-dollar ratio IMHO.

Yes, even Invisible War, if one embraces its weird consoley quirks. XD (bias: I enjoyed it on my OG Xbox back in the day. Universal ammo is so stupid though.)

Still gotta play Mankind Divided. I hope they finish the series one day. They absolutely nailed it with the iconic aesthetic, and Adam Jensen is just so freaking cool. :)

After a while I finally picked up Parkitect. I’ve been having a blast with OpenRTC2 lately, and everyone says if you like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Parkitect really follows that idea.

Still burning through the old school games, but I’m excited to play this one! Especially with workshop support.

All in favor of the emotional motion guy motion petition to move forward unless acted on by an equal and opposite motion say aye.

Maybe uh…more recent, ancestors?

Keep doing that for 200,000 years and you end up with a nuclear war

Dammit, Ghandi! EVERY. TIME!

I recently had to close my store for an hour, because I was the only one working and couldn’t breath due to one customers bad hygiene.

I don’t even have the greastest sense of smell, I might even consider it impaired, but personal experience begs me to suggest never applying at your local public library then.

That’s what I think is so neat about time travel. As a rational concept it’s so outlandish and ridiculously unlikely. Everything we know about physics says “Nope.”

But the concept to the human imagination seems to be such a natural and easy to grasp fantasy.

Perhaps borne from our desire to fix mistakes, prevent tragedies, and “be in the right place at the right time.”

On the simplest level we learn best through our mistakes, but wish dearly we could hang on to that knowledge while hitting “Ctrl + Z” on the consequences.

never touch something that looks like a carrot plant in the wild, because it could be that one plant that kills you 3 times over.

Okay so when you said “Never touch” I was thinking casually “Oh, don’t go messing with it or munching on it or whatever. Sound advice.”

Looking it up, oh…poison hemlock…you were being dead-exact.

Source

“As his doctor, Christopher Hayner, MD, pointed out, LeBlond didn’t have to eat the poisonous plant to fall ill. “Anything you can touch, you can also inhale,” he explained to Good Housekeeping. When LeBlond used a chainsaw to cut down the hemlock, tiny particles scattered in the air, and when he breathed them in, they almost killed him.”

Oh holy crap. Kill it with fire!

“If you do find a suspicious stalk and want to remove it, wear gloves, a face mask, and protective clothing. Dig it out from the roots, rather than cutting it, and never burn it, as the fumes can cause a reaction.”

Not even fire can sate its lust for indiscriminate killing?!

Apparently it’s a “recent problem” that this stuff is spreading all over the place.

It was as I suspected. Going outside is overrated. 😬

Not to be confused with the dude who read your Zoobooks and Nat Geo magazines while on his way to leave them in your mailbox.

Clicking a prank link from my immature friends gave me the same response to “You spin me round (like a record)” 🤢 IYKYK lol.

The other concern I have about small-scale farming I had, arose because I had this notion about “What if we could eliminate food deserts that are literally in the desert through household hydroponics?”

It sounded like such an awesome idea. Federated food! What a revolution!

But I also found out there’s a ton that can go very wrong when you have no idea where food came from or how it is grown.

It’s also my experienced opinion that a not-small percentage of the human population in this metropolis range from clinically insane to dangerously ignorant.

Industrial farming sucks in a lot of ways, but I’m also glad the (horribly underfunded) FDA and USDA exists.

Perhaps pushes for education in this field could go a long way? It seems outside of farming communities, food production is very much thought of as “farmers’ work.” and not much else.

I mean…yeah. I was more lamenting rhetorically. 😅
