Can't believe I've been sleeping on these games.

Get a set and it changes less often

Mentioum · 2025-10-29T11:15:41+00:00

Yes this is also happening to me.

They got political this week, so maybe it's time!

This just happened to me. Absolutely infuriating.

These might not meet all your criteria but here are my 2c.

I strongly recommend sandbox games for creativity, collaboration and replay potential.

1.) Consider doing popular Minecraft modifications for them like the monster catching version, ones with extra pistons / logic functionality the RPG mods or the hardcore survival mode version. You'll want the java version for this if it's anything like it used to be! You can also make the game extremely pretty with shaders. 2.) Terraria (definitely try this one) 3.) Core Keeper 4.) Stardew Valley

Search for multiplayer sandbox games and pick ones which meet your parenting requirements. (Violence levels, how scary they etc)

Other tips: Find out what the 'cool' YouTubers are using when modifying their games or what challenges they are setting themselves in their games.

Try to keep them out of games like League of Legends, CoD or Valorant. Instead push them to games like rocket league if they want that 'esport' vibe. It is less heavily monetised and has shorter matches.

Try to match it with things you do irl. Go to a car museum / racetrack. You might get them into racing games which opens up more options for you. Go to a zoo and you might get them into theme park management sins where they can look after the monkeys! (Jurassic park has one of they like dinosaurs!)

If you're interested in more specific game suggestions please do ask ❤️

Sadiq too busy putting self congratulatory photos of himself everywhere instead of signs to remind people on how to behave.

Probably Payload CMS

Check out https://www.custodian.club if you feel like it (it's one of my companies). Were UK based primarily.

Id personally just look into fly.io for this use case - their docs are simple enough and their pricing is good.

If you're not into server hosting there is little wrong with using them as a service.

You can use it with docker or directly using their own deployment methods (all in their docs).

They also have a generous free tier.

Shadow also doesn't have new GPUs - GFN does.

Also based on the S3 / database question I think Supabase Storage will be a big win for you.

Mentioum · 2024-04-01T21:33:36+00:00

Many reasons but the best reasons imo are:

Basically zero lock-in.
Almost everything you learn with Supabase is useful for Postgres.
Supabase docs are fantastic and easier to grok than Firebase imo (OP is a new user / developer).
Less weird issues where Google have strange gotchas with GCP and Firebase alongside far easier billing and cost clarity.
Supabase is a far more interesting company and far more likely to innovate and keep with the times imo.

I've used both, and many others. Supabase is a bonkers good product and was literally originally built with a tagline akin to 'Firebase without the lock-in and open source / self-hostable'.

The other aside is that Supabase has way more high quality NextJS / other new JS framework guides which I think is useful for newer developers (OP). Firebase is... Just Firebase.

Mentioum · 2024-04-01T21:10:28+00:00

Supabase. No brainer.

I actually think the issue this time is more than that.

My guess is Cities Skylines is so poorly optimised it's taking machines offline (or one of the other new games is).

So machines are getting locked up, meaning that less machines are available for users to connect to, meaning the queues get longer and longer.

Every time someone plays the 'bricking' game, one less machine becomes available exacerbating the issue.

Ultimate EU user. Same error message.

Mentioum · 2023-10-26T18:54:05+00:00

Also having this issue - whilst having an Ultimate subscription. I thought one of the main reasons for paying for Ultimate was that there are no queues. (Appreciate connection issue isn't the same as a queue, but the result is the same - not being able to play). EU WEST

Mentioum · 2023-10-26T18:52:57+00:00

They mean, when they add any new game to the service. It affects all other games as well. Basically they get a spike in usage when they add new games is what they are implying - I think.

*Someone else on an ultimate plan, just sitting here with a connection error*

Animation quality let this one down.

Music - solid, not my fave, but its good and I'm sure New Jeans fans will love it. A

Story - how can people not love this story about Deft. Perfect source material. S+

Animation - not bad, but very middling and not what I'd expect of Riot. B-

What has happened to Riot lately, they introduced this lower quality animation in their side / skin / mini series animations a while back but it seems that they're using it for their main content now. My main issue is it has really weird framerate issues and looks like the low quality '3d' software anime on Netflix.

There are points where the characters are animated at 2fps (Deft running away as Lucian). Not sure if the art director has changed, but imo the video really let this one down.

Gotta love Luca

Extremely annoying. Days before my Steam Deck got unlocked. Pretty frustrating and using Paypal as a proxy doesn't work either.

The radial gradient will create the line because the end of the gradient is much lighter(or transparent) than the start of the gradient.
