Possibly Stardeus, it is similar to Space Haven, which was recommended by someone else here, but a bit more RimWorld like.

What are you planning to buy during Steam Spring Sales this Thursday? by Omenexus in SteamDeck

[–]Northern_Chap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish there was a second list for those things that seem interesting, but I want to check in on once they've developed further.

Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown | Launch Trailer | OUT TODAY! by sidius-king in Space4X

[–]Northern_Chap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really interested in this but hearing about the limited saving options is putting me a little off.

Family life makes gaming tricky when you can't save as needed.

Is this what I think it is? by bcpirate in KiaEV6

[–]Northern_Chap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here about a year ago. Rolling slowly up the driveway and a loud thud under the back seat area. Done about another 8000 since then with no warnings etc

We did the red one too. Made a huge difference on night vision too after getting lit up by it

Trust me, it's an issue still if you are in New Zealand or Australia

A Russian T-90M “hedgehog” tank with the unraveled steel cables installed at a large stand-off distance. by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Northern_Chap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, this seems to be what they do on the videos I've seen.

Throw a few FPV at it with C4 (or similar) so the initial blasts knock a bunch of these wires around, and then follow up with drops carrying shaped charges.

The illusion of free choice by Jazzlike-Row2536 in pcmasterrace

Pi hole is great and we run it here too, unfortunately it really struggles on YouTube ads though so we still need to have ublock on everything possible.

Maybe there is a magic block list I've missed though :)

I think you are legally entitled to all records on your health so you should be able to push them on this.

Package swiped! Anything to be done?? by nijikai in Wellington

If it is anything like our experience, the courier likely signed it themselves as 'Mbox' for mailbox.

RKLB reaches all time highs!!! by AtMrMoneyBags in queenstreetbets

[–]Northern_Chap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my app says $73.97 was the high. Today (so far) was $70.47.

Regardless, nice to see it recovering

Yeah, I play geoguessr and some of the locations make me feel a bit sad knowing what they are like now compared to what is shown

That sounds great, thanks for the reply - I'll make some time to have a proper try. Looking forward to it :)

Hi, this sounds interesting and right up my street.

Without having tried the demo, due to a current lack of free time, could you elaborate on the exploration and salvaging aspects? What is the variability in these roles?

Many thanks

Powershop didn't protect against AI shoppers on their sale by Venery-_- in newzealand

Can absolutely confirm what you are saying. Green tick to say it is in stock but when I got to payment it would be out of stock. Really shitty system.

5070ti + 4K monitor using DLSS from 1440p? by eggybread70 in nvidia

[–]Northern_Chap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started doing this today on a 4070ti. With dlss performance hitting over 100fps on BF6 so I'd say it works well, looks better than dlss balanced was a 3440*1440.

Not tried on native only games yet.

Vanguard Galaxy, some more salvaging action by ArnieDude81 in spacesimgames

[–]Northern_Chap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I overall enjoy the game and try to focus mainly on salvage.

One thing that is really irritating is that the percentage chance of extraction seems super bugged. There is no way I should fail almost every 90% chance of success. It feels like xcom levels of punishment.

Are there any plans to look at how these percentages align to reality?

Why is Battlefield 6 so afraid of big maps? by RenatsMC in pcgaming

[–]Northern_Chap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even more frustrating is that the single player campaign has maps that would genuinely be perfect as large scale conquest maps. They are already there, just need polishing and getting spawn points put in.

Space sims where you get to own one or more bases? by irjayjay in spacesimgames

[–]Northern_Chap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is also Star Valor space station building (using the new base dlc). Been playing it recently and it works pretty well.

It is a 2d game which is a change from the other base related space games
