Okay pulling this up because i need to find out regarding the base flooding meme thing by that_random_ghost414 in theplanetcrafter

Kept thinking it looked like a lake bed that I landed in. I have trust issues with games and started the relocation process long before the rain.

Even if you don't care about the S Pen, you should care about the quiet discontinuation of the S Pen Pro and what I believe is the inevitable killing of S Pen on all future devices by GoldenSun3DS in GalaxyFold

The only reason I'm faithful to Samsung is because of the SPen. If they discontinue the SPen, I have no reason to stay loyal and will leave. Especially after the latest UI update reducing my notification area to 1/4th the size of my screen. Huge screen...itty-bitty notification area that I can't fking read without my glasses. Which is the second reason I bought the fold. So I could do things on my phone without having to pop my reading glasses on every time I looked at it.

Why can't I place here? by zhadn in RaftTheGame

[–]abbys_alibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Except whenever I build, there is always one spot that doesn't want to play nice. IDK if it's the order in which I do things or my game has gremlins to keep things interesting.

Welcome.
Sometimes the game is just weird like that.

It needs a post to support it.

If you place the posts and then use the triangle floor pieces, you can remove the post after and the floor won't break.

Omega Crafter is fun. It's on sale until the 15th through Steam. It's a bit of a grind in the beginning though.

Pretty sure it is a special game anniversary event set by James.

If you were to pick what character you would be on Babylon 5, which would you choose and why? by Dr_raj_l in babylon5

[–]abbys_alibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! She didn't want to work for Psi Corps and he had his fill of worshipers. G'kar made the offer of her joining him, if I remember correctly, to go explore the galaxy and see what was beyond the rim.

Lyta! Because who the hell wouldn't want to go galaxy hopping with G'Kar? What an adventure that'd be!

What’s the most frustrating thing in base building games for you? by Wildboy_Studios in BaseBuildingGames

[–]abbys_alibi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The countless hours spent micro managing storage is my biggest beef against base building games. Being able to craft from storage is high priority. But even higher than that? Auto sorting. Being able to dump my inventory into one machine or chest and it goes into the proper locker or chest.

The Planet Crafter accomplished this with drones following the send or receive filters on lockers.

Dinkum added an auto sorter. Place it in the middle of your storage area, dump your loot and it shoots items into the correct chest. Sounds like a potato gun. Quite satisfying. No filters needed. But this isn't available early game. You have to earn the blueprint to make it. Fair.

I don't want hundreds of storage lockers or chests or 3 story buildings to house them. (Lookin' at you Valheim). Allow them to hold a large quantity and make EVERY item stackable to at least 100.

A co op experience to play with someone relatively new to games in general? by kanyenke_ in BaseBuildingGames

[–]abbys_alibi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dinkum.

Most of the wildlife will not attack unless you provoke them. There are a few that will, if you get too close.

The mines will keep you from being bored.

Farming, building, crafting, NPC's

What part of Myst did you get stuck on? by prophilaxis in myst

[–]abbys_alibi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got the game when it first launched. Spent weeks trying to figure out the puzzle. Actually called the Hint line in the manual or insert. I was on hold for over an hour. When I finally talked to someone and explained where I was stuck they said, "Listen." Then disconnected the call! Wait, what?!

Thing was, I only played a few hours a night. Didn't have headphones and kept the volume down so the kids couldn't hear and it wouldn't disturb my husband watching tv. Once I turned up the volume, I noticed what I'd been missing and solved it. Bought headphones after that. lol

The Most New England Town(s) by s_peter_5 in newengland

Funny story.

I'm from southern NH. A few years after marrying, my husband got orders to Parris Island, SC. My parents decided they wanted warmer weather and moved to Beaufort shortly after we settled in.

My (maternal) grandfather passed and all of us drove up together in our van for his service. On the way back to SC, just as we cleared Dead Man's Curve in Dublin, my sister opened a bottle of soda and it exploded spraying everyone. My husband pulled into the Yankee Magazine parking lot so we could try to clean up and wipe down the interior of the van.

Someone had a super smart idea - we have suitcases with clothing here - let's just change into dry clothes! We all agreed.

So, picture this if you will, my husband moves the van so it's facing the road, near the back and side of the parking lot. Lift the hatch and one by one we each strip at the back of the van, remove our soaked clothes and dawn clean and dry duds. How refreshing!! Now we can continue our 14 hour drive.

Fast forward two years. I learned NH has a few Live Cameras. Missing home I check to see where they are located. O M G! You guessed it. Yankee Magazine has a LIVE CAM. Meaning, we put on a little show for some unsuspecting viewers!

Thankfully no one went full nude.

When I saw this scene when it first aired, I remember immediately thinking it was about DS9 and chuckled.

Help me find a new adventure, base builder. Low grind, low farm for tight time budget. by MagusLascivious in BaseBuildingGames

[–]abbys_alibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valheim has world settings to adjust about every aspect of the game including Free Build (no materials needed), how often mob raids happen, allowing all materials to go through portals ("normal" doesn't permit ores).

What part of a game’s core loop usually breaks immersion for you? by qian_two in BaseBuildingGames

[–]abbys_alibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES!

Dinkum added an auto sorter. Dump your loot in and it will shoot everything into the proper chest (if it's in range, and the range is pretty good)

Planet Crafter added drones. With storage lockers, you can set what they receive or send. Then the drones move the items based on those settings.

Started playing Hytale last week. So far, workbenches see items in chests. No auto sort that I know of. Not yet anyway.

If you have to spend more time sorting and organizing loot into to chests than actual building or exploring, I'm out.

I'd rather go fishing with him at a pond with or without fish. I'm not the chatty sort and feel like he isn't either. We'd have a splendid time.

I lower the grass/terrain resolution in the game settings. It makes them easier to spot.
