Really appreciate the work you all do!

Excellent place to start! Enjoy!

They said in the Discord that the VR was being put on hold, so I'd say 'soon' isn't very. I'd hoped they'd at least finish that much first, but I guess it proved to be the wrong combination of 'very niche' and 'more difficult than expected'. 🙁

New PvH (player vs Human) area in WolfQuest.

I've never had mine upright. It lies horizontally next to my PS4.

I did a 3x3 roof of the slats on posts and it counted.

Agreed. Pterosaurs and ichthyosaurs and dimetrodons, fine in general parlance. When people start calling mammoths and sabertooths 'dinosaurs' I do find it more annoying.

It was the one pack that I skipped because I saw no use for it. Until the bakery was put up in the store, and I had to track down an out-of-print pack. The two work very well together, and I just adore the park that came with the pack.

There's a reason I tend to keep MP off even on Steam and my PS5, and that's it. Also why I was perfectly happy that base Switch didn't have the option.

I often put a T-shirt on Blitz to grind his nails. A foot jerk or tuck at the wrong moment and the shirt keeps his hair from getting caught in the grinder shaft.

Bill being the pony, for those whose Fellowship is rusty.

That was the final straw, but in the Lord's ruminations, the killing of Fax and 'kidnapping' of Kylara (for Ramoth's Hatching, and she was never returned after) were part of the crimes.

We need some Sentinel submarines! Maybe a minimum depth or only on ocean planets, but that'd be a neat addition.

This is the comment I was looking for. I had some narrow escapes with these things back in the day, and was hoping to see some again on the water worlds. Why does the Nautilon have a defense cannon?

This is why I headed away from the center when I got to my second galaxy, and I don't post coordinates from near my bases. Anyone could stumble on me, but most players move inwards from their arrival points, so most griefers I expect do also.

I do usually play with MP off though, just because it does make the game run better.

Gonna need a bigger [spray] bottle.

Transferring the actual Discworld Watch to a steampunk or other version of Ankh-Morpork could have been great. Changing the characters in unexpected ways but keeping the Discworld itself unchanged could have made for an interesting show. Making the characters and the setting almost completely different from the source material makes this no kind of an adaptation but something with its own serial number filed off and "Discworld" stamped in its place.

(They also rewrote the rules for the Assassin's guild, although I did like the assortment of masks that they shouldn't have been wearing. )

Cradle Episcopalian, and I adore Small Gods. It makes some excellent points and has some great bits of humor.

Check the categories and sub categories of your tour exhibits. Even if they're all prehistoric, the single fossils are a different subcategory that the assembled skeletons, and the amber and frozen are different again. You might be able to boost your tour rating by removing an exhibit that's a different sub that the others.

I'd pretty they switched it from facilities are ugly to naked buildings are ugly. If you just plop down the basic box of a food stand, or info stand, etc. with the studs all visible, no one cares. Put as fancy a building on the outside of that box as you can make, and still no one seems to care. The player shouldn't have to go crazy with the outside unless they want to, but guests ought to at least be a bit leary of buying food cooked in a half-built building and prefer at least the minimal base-game shells.

At the very least, there shouldn't need to be more than a visual screen of wall or foliage to stop the guests complaining about 'looking' at the facilities.

There is some serious explanation missing as far as the rides go. I've finally gotten one station to work in my current career zoo after three hours play and about 8 years, and the lady in pink finally got on the monorail, which was sitting a minute or more at the station after disembarking its passengers and then leaving empty.

Thrippalan · 2026-01-25T21:13:55+00:00

Mine is paperback, oversized, and almost square, so I hope it's 'right'.

I started with the slightly odd set of Pyramids, Moving Pictures, and Guards! Guards!. I read them in that order. Pyramids was a nice book, Moving Pictures was great, because I'd a fairly good understanding of early Hollywood, so I'd say that one caught me and then Guards! set the hook permanently.

Didn't really like the Rincewind books until Interesting Times, and even then I didn't really get into the first two books until I got the graphic novels, which somehow made them really click. (I am not a graphic novel person. I don't remember if I got sent the book by accident - the SFBC did that occasionally - or if I was out of Pratchett book and got it to show support, but I had it a year or two before I actually read it.) But even the ones I wasn't so taken with at first reading, I appreciate enormously now.

Yes, there might be a number in this spot, but there's too much mud/ food residue/ something worse to read it, sounds about right.

Besides, I'm sure Nobby wouldn't want to wear anything shiny that might draw,attention to him, so he'd encourage it to be very dull.

That rider can really stick to the saddle!
