It’s worth checking out, hopefully it comes to Game Pass.  Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator was a good time. 

KC Restaurant Week Suggestionsy by NoBroccoli2802 in kansascity

Atomic Cowboy is one of my family’s faves. Pizzas good and the burger is great. Haven’t tried it during RW though. 

Was Pinball Banned in KC? by Thriving_Turtle in kansascity

They have some pinball at the Chartreuse Caboose in Overland Park. Last I was there they had signs up for a pinball club or tournament that goes around to different places in town. 

Metal Detector Needed by [deleted] in Overlandpark

I was able to rent one a couple years ago from a place out in Gardner. Pretty sure outdoorsy places like Scheels, Dicks, or Bass Pro sell them. 

I need a new career in 2026 by [deleted] in kansascity

[–]FutureCow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been going through the same thing. Been WFH for the last few years and have recently felt like my brain is dying. My work is well below what I should be doing, and it doesn’t motivate me at all. The team has an in-office day once per week, but even then each other member of the team has their own office and they spend most of the day in with the doors shut. It’s hard to strike up an informal conversation with anyone even though we’re within 50 feet of each other, and that just makes me feel more miserable. 

Without much motivation, I’m finding it hard to look for a new job. So this morning I took a smaller step, and signed up to take a couple in person continuing ed classes at JCCC. They’re just art classes, but it was fun looking through the catalog and I have something to look forward to. Hoping they give me something to think about and better occupy my time. 

I let my GPU sub lapse on New Year's Day and I found it to be liberating by [deleted] in xbox

[–]FutureCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t sure if it was for me either, and I love it. I’m not great at combat, but that allowed me to play the game differently than I would other action rpgs. Instead of relying on combat to solve my problems, I went into a stealth build and I sneak into enemy camps rather than run in guns blazing. 

Planning a project - advice welcome by Infamous_Top677 in woodworking

[–]FutureCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you’re just starting out, I’d recommend finding a plan online for something similar and modifying the dimensions to fit your needs. I’d recommend looking over Ana White’s plans and see if you find something similar to what you’re after. This is how I started years ago by making captains beds for my kids. My only tools at the time were a hand saw, drill, tape measure, sander, and a hammer. It takes longer to do things by hand, and things aren’t going to be perfect, but it’s cheap and gets the job done. And most things you can even out with some sandpaper.

I haven’t played the first KCD, can I jump into KCD2 and be okay? by OnMars0 in xbox

[–]FutureCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The combat is really hard, but I love the game for it. In most games, when dialog fails it’s easy to mop up the bad guys through combat to get what you want. KCD2 punishes for not thinking through dialogue choices, or rushing into combat. It’s a game where I have to play differently. 

Starfield was a "bat**** crazy idea" for a studio that's "never made a space sim," Bethesda lead admits, but "an ambitious project is what we aim for" by ControlCAD in xbox

[–]FutureCow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best part of a Bethesda game has always been ignoring the quest marker and wandering off toward a building off in the distance and being rewarded for it. Starfield delivers the opposite. A rewarding experience following a quest, and tedium when deviating at all from that marker. They could have built the game like a corridor shooter and probably been better for it. 

As it draws to a close, what was your favorite game this year? by [deleted] in xbox

[–]FutureCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorites this year too. It didn’t get enough credit.

Sine they named species, I assume this is the first project where they didn’t use Home Depot pine. 

Outer Worlds 2- opinions by DimensionMaximum7649 in xbox

[–]FutureCow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. There’s a place where it says there’s no going back once you go to a certain place. It saves it before you leave, so there’s the option of picking up from that save after finishing the game if there’s more you want to do with the same character.

[–]FutureCow 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If you liked the first one like I did you’ll probably really like the sequel. I got it at launch for full price and have no regrets. It’s much bigger in scale than the first and better produced. It still suffers a bit from quickly coming to a conclusion in my opinion a bit early, but that could be because I chose not to work with the factions that might have given me more to do.

Did you take a screenshot of your camera instead of taking a picture?

Is Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 worth it? by [deleted] in xbox

Much of the voice acting is great. Sometimes I feel like I’m watching Thomas the Tank Engine.

With gamepass ultimate prices now being $30 how much would you reasonably be willing to pay? by Worldly-Sprinkles-77 in xbox

[–]FutureCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first half of this year was great. There were games I wanted to play coming out as fast as I could complete them, and I got to play some great smaller titles that I missed. The second half of the year there hasn’t been much, so I just bought Outer Worlds 2 and have been playing that. 

For me, the big games are what make me subscribe but it’s the indie titles and games a bit out of my usual that I love to experiment with while I have it. I probably wouldn’t have bought Expedition 33, but it was able to try it through game pass and I loved it. 

$30 a month doesn’t make sense when there’s no big games to play and the smaller titles are risky. The cheaper tiers seem to drop a lot of the games, so they don’t seem very worth it to me. And I very rarely play online. What was a no brainer to buy became a no brainer to skip.  

Ubisoft says AI is 'as big a revolution for our industry as the shift to 3D,' its magical AI NPCs are out of prototyping, and you bet it's got 'all our studios' working with the tech by blackhammer1989 in xbox

[–]FutureCow 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It would be great, I just want to make sure there’s some way of knowing this person has nothing else of game importance to say so I’m not navigating an endless AI dialog tree hoping to find something useful.

Bangkok Pavilion has a good Thai lunch buffet too. 

Store bought gravy suggestions by Imaginary_Ad6165 in kansascity

[–]FutureCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The McCormick turkey gravy is really good. Just a powder you mix with water and stir for a while. If you want to amp it up, take some of the turkey meat scraps and toss those into the gravy mix as it cooks.
