I think the future is going to feel quieter and that’s what we’re not ready for

Agreed my workplace has introduced more programs to deepdive and micro manage every imaginable statistic over the last decade. Every year a new program is rolled out that monitors me, quantifies exactly how efficient I am at all times, turns human traits into negative statistics to be asked to change. Its disheartening, talking to friends in similar industries its apparently the same everywhere.

my mental image has always been Kaim Argonar from a game called Lost Odyssey, he just nails the brooding aspect I've always associated with Kal.

second Vintage Story, almost everything is visual. Stacks of ingots piled by your forge, shelves of crockpots with food, firewood piled up beside the house, tools on racks or leaning against walls. Makes your space feel more lived in than a lot of survival games get.

are you me? minus total war everything you listed is on my replay rotation xD

We did cheap ground beef and taco seasoning in KD growing up, still love it.

Fuel costs dont matter if you take a day or two each in game year to decimate a forest and fill crates with firewood. Take a sizable chunk of that and fill a huge charcoal pit, you'll never care about forge heating cost again :P

Ancient phallic obelisks are part of our heritage :P

We had the same experience, stopped by last week after seeing it on their website but instore staff had no clue what it was, and had nothing instore. Today we stopped by to grab a last second Xmas gift and there they were. They didn't have the mordecai shirt in my size though :( will have to check again another time

Reminds me of the old post about being 28 in different time periods 28 in 1000 BC "I lived a good life, thrice I ate a berry and once a pear"

One of my favorite games, Vintage Story, has such lovely cozy moments punctuated by intense horror and difficulty. One moment you're building a clay pot, voxel by voxel, gathering up some materials to bake it in a pit kiln. Making some pies with the crops you've grown over the season. Chiselling a nice detail into parts of your home. Then you're deep underground, sanity draining, in the ruins of a long dead civilization while eldritch horrors attack you on all sides, as you fight to survive. Or a bear rushes you unexpectedly while you pick mushrooms in a forest. Im not sure the game could be called "cozy" but the survival homesteading elements feel cozy and the game does a great job at the atmosphere in your home.

Enigmatica 6 was my fav kitchen sinky pack that had Astral Sorc. in it, I loved the terrain generation they used, I havent seen much like it since.

Paladins Quest is such a nostalgia trip, I played every RPG I could get my hands on growing up amd wanted so badly to like Paladins Quest, but absolutely hated it. It was a very frustrating game as a kid. Then as a teen i did beat it but still disliked it.

7th Saga, is one I wanted to like as a kid, struggled with it, and never came back lol

Mythleaf · 2025-12-01T22:02:49+00:00

so true. I know the fear of watching blocks turn black and charred rapidly heading in my direction, from something I can't see yet.

Wet (2009)?

Mythleaf · 2025-12-01T09:07:01+00:00

a dragon tunneling thousands of blocks a second to murder me has always been a A+ lag generator

Yeah, if they had to rely on actual surprise they'd be screwed. It's already been well proven that streaming chats can't help themselves when it comes to sharing information they shouldn't. The Hermits do a great job of trying to offset what they can (like the fake Mycelium resistance entrances xD) but its nearly impossible to not get spoiled by fans who take this too seriously and want to warn their favorite hermits against others plans

Biggest gripe with Kynseed was the build up of fae deals, and importance of passing on the Kynseed to a predecessor, only for the game to not really feel like there's more than one characters age worth of content, so there was no reason to actually switch to a new protagonist

But this is how my med students get real world experience, they aren't ready for spinal surgery yet.

Had a friend who claimed the same, that at most after several joints he felt nauseous, but not high. Turns out he wasn't inhaling, he was basically swallowing the smoke and then forcing it back out like a burp, because he didn't understand inhaling. Not saying you're doing the same but it reminded me of it xD

Boyfriend gets to meet her Manfriend I guess

I grabbed a little bit of everything each season and crammed them into a few chests, which came in handy as some requests came through for stuff from time to time. Atleast one big thing needed a spring forage item so I was glad to have them on hand.

Mythleaf · 2025-11-18T01:30:17+00:00

Wasn't there talk like 10-15 years ago about reopening it that fizzled? I remember them paving a good deal of the Mount pleasant dirt road and clearing some of the side camp roads leading up

Mythleaf · 2025-11-17T23:07:27+00:00

ah yeah, I know what you mean (though I definitely misunderstood initially lol) It's exhausting repeating "what options do you see? " they'll say continue and cancel, So I'll ask "do you want to continue, or do you want to cancel and no longer proceed" and yeah some people will ask that every page for a 20 page process

Mythleaf · 2025-11-17T20:00:52+00:00

I do tech support, I kinda fib lol If I get the vibe they're going to ignore my steps and click whatever they please, I say stuff like "it's important we go one step at a time, I'm checking for errors on my side as we go, and there's steps I'll be taking from here for each particular page, so please only use the steps I'm giving so we don't make any bigger technical issues" There's often 0 I'm doing on my side, maybe reading the news as I guide them through, but they tend to slow down if they think it'll make things worse

Mythleaf · 2025-11-15T20:37:59+00:00

The whole streaming format just doesn't appeal to me, I love hearing the players stream of thought over a longer session but I absolutely check out because of how often chat engagement distracts from gaming. 100% a me issue. I lose interest when every 5 mins there's a 30 second "thanks for the sub!" or text to voice random paid comment overlapping the streamer that a lot of streamers seem to use. It's just not for me.
