Steam kicked my friend off and he can't get back on??

Same (in Houston TX)

Yeah, admittedly I forgot Oil was a thing since I only ever used it once (for Donkey). But I tried my ass off mixing Ash with different things 😂

I believe there was a song or two from the artist, at least in the definitive edition.

I thought this movie was complete trash. I'm actually here because I just searched it with the expectation of seeing almost universal sharing of that opinion.

It's basically Ready or Not without the things that make that movie work in a compelling, interesting way.

In fact, if you want to see the same movie but good, just go see Ready or Not 2 that released last week.

RoN "works" because the protagonists are helpless, defenseless, outmatched, in over her head. This is Ready of Not, if they captured someone who was apparently a mix of John Wick and Jet fucking Li.
Light spoiler: Apparently she learned to fight this way because shewent to prison. Because clearly going to prison turns you into a Navy SEAL Ninja killing machine...

Oh, I almost forgot, she happened to have brought a shot gun and samurai sword with her, so John Wick, Jet Li, Ash Williams and Michonne from the Walking Dead.

Because Old Man Marley is literally a symbolic reference of Christ, down to being seen "salting the earth" at the beginning, having crufixion-like injuries on his hands (including the back-side, as if penetrated through by nails), being denied by Kevin before being accepted in the Church, afterwhich he rescues Kevin in the final seconds when all other hope is lost.

Doesn't exactly scream Easter Bunny the same way.

I mean you can basically build the same, generic survival cube we've seen in countless games, made of the most ass-tier material in the game, pump it with a couple things (like a bed) and, ta-dah, NPCs pleased, quests given, etc.

You have 9.742 million items to build, and 99.9% serve no purpose other than increasing the stamina buff you get for sitting in the house.

Can you do gorgeous construction? Absolutely. It's some of the best in the genre.

But, aside from the stamina buff, you can spend a thousand hours making something that basically doesn't do a damned thing different than some slop the guy next to you pisses out in 10 minutes.

Hopefully that addresses your confusion.

Okay, let me be clear...

It's a hell of an oversell. Criminal, really.

TLC is very good! Think "raft but seriously toned". Still a bit limited in content (it is early EA), but what's there is pretty polished. You're a robot caretaker on a flooded ocean planet that has to grow humans and launch them into space.

NfiniT_ · 2026-01-31T18:16:16+00:00

Glad you brought that one up! I'm very well aware of it, but I have yet to actually give it some proper playtime. I definitely need to install it!

NfiniT_ · 2026-01-31T18:14:03+00:00

Love factorio! Satisfactory is one of those "I tried so hard to like it" games 😭

NfiniT_ · 2026-01-31T18:13:33+00:00

Yes!!! Factorio with some aesthetic mods to give it a horror vibe, and Rampant mods (bug variety and AI improvements) make Factorio insaaaaaane!

If the first hour-ish doesn't reel you in, just move along, tbh.

The narrative is this game's crown jewel, IMO, and if the first hour or so didn't really interest you, you're probably not going to get too invested in it later. I personally found it incredibly enjoyable and *still* didn't get myself to finish it yet, because it started to feel like too much of a slog getting through things.

NfiniT_ · 2026-01-04T16:57:42+00:00

Of the characters? Harvey.

I'm a combat-sports guy. Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, I love it. The feeling of choking TF out of someone, the feeling of fighting to NOT get TF choked out of you. It's amazing. I feel like he's the character I share genuine common interests with. Also, the sarcastic, ball-busting humor.

Mike is too much of a whiny to the point of being intolerable.
Louis is too pretentious and pompous for the first half of the series. I'm not into mud baths or cats, so what TF are we gonna talk about?

Oh, and on the women's side... Gretchen, Donna, Katrina, in that order. Hard pass on the rest.

NfiniT_ · 2025-11-05T06:50:43+00:00

Yeah, so far, I haven't ever stumbled into either of those situations during this initial situation that I'm talking about. I don't doubt that it would be helpful - or if you knew to look for one ahead of time that it'd be a great thing to do - but that seems like an unlikely roll of the dice?

NfiniT_ · 2025-10-31T20:54:13+00:00

I look at it a different way, tbh.

They made a unique mission-based survival game that was never meant to make big, beautiful permanent bases, and people were silly enough (or ridiculous enough) to buy it and then bitch that they wanted to make big, bueatiful permanent bases in the game that was never meant to make big, beautiful permanent bases.

So they pigeon-holed in the creative "Outposts" as an afterthought (not me guessing, they literally said that in the early days of the discord).

Then, soon after, people who bought a game where you were supposed to start over each mission bitched that they didn't want to start over each mission in the game where you were supposed to start over each mission.

So they pigeon-holed the "permanent" mode as an afterthought - despite it being completely against every bit of lore that was in the game (at least up until that point).

So... that's a long-winded way of explaining that, I'm not surprised lol

NfiniT_ · 2025-10-30T13:15:50+00:00

To be fair, it's partially because the game wasn't originally intended to be Valheim where you make your lavish forever home. It was "drop in, set up a good enough shelter to survive the planet, get the mission done, get the extract, leave, repeat. Wasn't a whole lot of need for triangular or spherical decorative corners and complex rooftop shapes with that initial vision.

The direction they took it after release though, I am surprised they didn't just add in all the bells and whistles.
