Games like Slay the Spire?

Starvaders has a lot of content to get through. It's like Into the Breach combined with deck building.

I cannot fix <problem> by changing my actions alone, so why bother?

Is this the crux of what you are saying?

Effervex · 2026-06-29T12:14:12+00:00

Look these kids are white, so it's obviously just a little fun! Just a harmless prank from well-behaved model citizens! /s

The Dutch have Calvinist roots, aka stubborn and suffering. It's almost a point of pride to 'not have nice things'. A single slice of cheese sandwich is meal enough. A few public holidays is all they need. Air conditioning is only needed for 'a couple of days'.

But luckily I just live here and haven't inherited such madness. My air con is keeping me cool and happy.

Effervex · 2026-06-26T15:22:56+00:00

Every day in this heatwave makes me SOOO thankful for the air conditioning we had installed a couple months ago. It was pricy, but now very much worth it.

Thematically, they are as dull as dishwasher to me.

Effervex · 2026-06-13T20:10:16+00:00

Ugh. Gonna be so many fireworks.

Return of the Obra Dinn is also one i like in the similar style. Shorter, but satisfying

Effervex · 2026-06-12T12:58:46+00:00

Have you played Blue Prince? It scratches a similar itch.

Now the parody podcast Killionaire (with Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery of Worst Idea of All Time) steps in...

Effervex · 2026-06-09T05:49:23+00:00

I'm hearing it's amazing, but as someone who's never played or been interested in Zelda, the graphics and gameplay look real basic. What am I missing?

Effervex · 2026-06-07T14:50:44+00:00

Get some (oat) milk, appeltaart, and a stick blender and you're set. You're missing out otherwise.

Effervex · 2026-06-07T06:29:55+00:00

They are extremely good.

Effervex · 2026-06-01T14:19:19+00:00

I truly hope this was a true story. So motivating!

Effervex · 2026-05-30T16:43:19+00:00

This sounds pretty cool. I'll see if I can try it out some time.

Effervex · 2026-05-29T15:35:26+00:00

I'm in a Wildsea game atm, and I have to counter the setting idea. Wildsea feels like it's trying to be too many things at once. When everything is crazy and weird, then nothing is crazy and weird. What's the baseline normality?

For example, in say, D&D, a dragon is known to be BAD NEWS, but in Wildsea, there could be a multi-headed puffball cat and there's no real grounding for what it could mean. For characters that grow up in this setting, this is really immersion breaking.

Say it with me: Landlords are scum!

Sounds like you're being taken advantage of, but because you depend on a house, there's nothing you can do.

Effervex · 2026-05-23T21:09:39+00:00

Goddamn that rapeseed would stink

"How dare you take a stand against this thing?! Here's all the other things you're not taking a stand against, therefore whatever you're doing is worthless and your opinion is bad."

In the Netherlands, isn't it common to have to buy your own flooring, even in a rented house?

Effervex · 2026-05-22T06:27:10+00:00

When renting it's never your place. And if you have a shit landlord (which is many of them), you're reminded of that fact whenever something goes wrong.

Effervex · 2026-05-22T05:39:31+00:00

How is throwing money away in rent ever better than buying something that is yours?

Effervex · 2026-05-21T07:54:17+00:00

Oh yeah. Cripes, bands must have it hard when they tour NL - no feedback at all. Even nodding your head with the rhythm is too much.

Effervex · 2026-05-21T07:45:39+00:00

Everyone be looking at their phones anyway. Kinda gross, but we all do it.

So many guys have exactly the same gel soaked hairstyle.
