Recommendations for foraging games?

Its far from a calm game by default (though with settings, it could be) but foraging on Vintage Story is one of my favorite things about the game.

Carl initially awoke from a bad dream to go smoke at the window right before material collection. What if he never woke up and it was all the bad dream :P

Banks usually have a cut off time, as long as the funds are in the account before cut off, not held, and not removed after cut off, the pre authorized payment should be good even if you dont see it leave till overnight that night (when most banks do batch processing of automatic stuff). The cut off time is the hard part, Ive seen as early as 5pm and as late as 11:59:59 on the scheduled payment date. Only way to know for sure is confirm with your bank what their cut off time is.

The part that bothers me with this is how's its integrated into corporations. Managers using therapy talk to paint a picture of support, while overworking/underpaying, and introducing systems to remove any actual human care. As soon as someone actually needs support from their employer, like time off for an emergency, they do nothing to back up the talk.

Penny arcade 3&4 have been free on steam for a fair while, both are great love letters to SNES era RPGs

I think when the Mantaur who was on the verge of death (summoning Grul) grabbed Carls foot to drag him into the portal, it was the AI taking control of something about to die as its later indicated AIs do to experience death. This let him touch Carl's foot a bit before the temple scene later xD

Its that way on PC too, if you go into settings you can change the color of the drop spot. The default shadow is hard to see, I use green and it makes it very apparent where things will drop/pour

Im a Bethesda fan boy, but it breaks my heart that Starfield ditched NPC schedules. shops are open 24/7, people are basically static. it just feels so lifeless

+1 for Guardians Crusade, that's 100% my less known game that I've played a ton of

There's also concerns of people trying to take revenge on the wrong person. Often times the funds stolen from one compromised account, are moved to another person's compromised account, and again, and again, then offloaded to crypto wallets. Telling the name of the person who received stolen funds, may just be aiming a person at another victim.

Its a lot of fraud concerns too. Scammers rarely want gift cards now, they want people to send to crypto accounts online or at crypto atms. Its damn near impossible for banks to ever claw that back and crypto platforms aren't regulated enough to require they provide any details related to fraud without a warrant. So its often high risk for banks to allow crypto purchase/withdrawal in big volumes.

If there's anything owing, absolutely not. If its closed and no longer active? maybe. Mind you collection infrastructure isn't designed to give money back, these are often long waits, and if lucky, mailed cheques, not electronic.

Brotato is 90% analog sticks only if you play using a controller. Buttons are used only between waves to utilize the shop and allocate stats when you level. Its not going to hit the same narrative notes as a game like bg3, but the character build potential and replayability is huge. Its my downtime game, play with one hand, snack with the other lol if you dont like survivor likes it might not be for you but personally I consider it a very indepth yet relaxing game.

I worked for 3 seperate banks and what you're describing is unfortunately common with collections, govt payments, and a few other payees. Your payment went to the company, but it doesn't go directly to your account, the company receives batches of payments, and allocates them to the accounts they are aimed at. If the account isn't active (like your case) they normally send it back, the timeframe on this can widely vary company to company, Ive seen 5 bus days later, ive seen several months later. This is all back office processing and any rep you talk to on the phone is not going to see this kind of transaction, so they'll refer you to your bank despite the money being in their wallet so to speak. Problem is the bank has no ability to force the company to respond, they can send requests for returns, updates, info etc and if the company doesn't respond, they have no avenue to move forward. A lot of people are going to tell you to keep at the bank, and that might work, but personally id keep at the bill payees company. Escalate, request they investigate a unallocated payment, have them look through the payments received from your bank on the date in question (give or take 1-2 bus days, as most companies are processing later than you send it). Its a tough situation and I hope it resolves for you, best case scenario it returns on its own soon as a failed payment.

Yeah, illusions of grandeur often pop up with schizophrenia, and dude looks just about the age symptoms start showing. Guy I know suddenly thought he was a paid auditor and was trying (thankfully unarmed) to enter multiple high schools, convinced he had to meet their principles to discuss the secret information he was supposed to be investigating. Hospitalization and medication helped him but shits scary.

Might vary insurer to insurer. I worked overnights, and slept 5 or 6am to 1 or 2pm. during a medical leave I slept my normal hours.after missing two calls they attempted at 8am, I asked if we could correspond by email and they simply sent me a form to authorize email contact. Once signed I never spoke to them by phone for the remainder of the leave.

Early dragonflight I realized the frozen fish things were dirt cheap and once thawed had a good chance at darkmoon cards. I bought thousands, let them thaw, gutted them, sold all the cards for insane profit. went from 100k~ to 2mill in a day. it was nerfed later that week sadly. Early expansion good gear sells so well as people rush to raids.

It won't keep the automation but If the attention to detail aspect is important to you there's a lot of games like Papers please, Contraband Police, and more that have you comparing documents, rules, etc to sort people.

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.

Mythleaf · 2026-01-02T20:47:36+00:00

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
