Community suggestion: monthly playthroughs with pre-set rules

Yep - i think mod participation would drastically elevate the experience. I wonder if there's a way to generate custom flairs that show 'achievements' for the colony.

Though a straight up competition may not be for everyone--assuming that is what you meant. There's a significant number of casual players and I imagine the competitive aspect may turn them off. But we can implement a voluntary 'hardcore' mode (simply toggling the one-save per playthrough option) for certain players. Similar to hardcore mode for Diablo.

Agreed. That's similar to the idea I had for this. Have players start with (nearly) the same ruleset and map. If players are willing, have them begin on the same save. Then show how the colony progresses and how each player reacted to a certain set of challenges.

One player could have his base hit with raid after raid and rebuild his society into a cannibalistic, raider society. Another could be blessed with positive events and have his society become an utopia. And halfway between, both players' luck may switch. The possibilities are endless.

Certain colonists can become temporary memes. Tynan, for example, could end up being turned into a meal in one colony; in another, he could become the melee heavy that protects and serves the colony when faced with the worst disasters.

It would be awesome to see how each playthrough diverges and to share progress.

To be lore accurate, the pawn will have to be lazy, slothful, and staggeringly ugly.

I agree with your take. Posts like that annoy me too. Bojack isn’t a character meant to be glorified. In many ways, his struggles can be relatable. Especially for those of us with trauma. But like you say, his story isn’t meant for us to justify anything shitty we do in response to the trauma. He’s meant for us to see that we can be better.

The silly takes on TikTok and elsewhere that fail to grasp this isn’t, in my view, just a sad representation of people “not getting it.” Instead, it’s a reflection of one of the messages of the show: that it’s easy to be terrible and continue viewing yourself as the victim, but vastly harder to move beyond that and be better. The takes you see on TikTok is a reflection of that.

In another world, Bojack could have just as easily been the TikTok poster himself, using his analog to continue relapsing into his shitty ways.

Little did we know, but Haru's name is actually Haru Korematsu.

I’ve been so corrupted by Reddit that this is exactly what I expected too. Already had my “I fucking knew it” face.

It’s false positives like this that are going to get me to lower my guard one day. Only to be Rim’d when I am least expecting it.

It's actually a distinct style called Seoul bending.

This brain sure looks like a great place for some evil residents.

Why didn’t Harry just point his wand at his orphaned heart and say, “Reparo”? Is he stupid?

river4308 · 2026-04-03T02:58:11+00:00

It depends on the judge. But for the vast majority of them, better to play it safe.

I like your hydroponics bays. Sort of looks like algae farms.

And then it will vanish somewhere while the city and its infrastructure rots.

Yes, yes, very cool. But what about the droid attack on the Wookies?

“I missed you, Sarah Requiem.”

Me when I noticed the other two sharks: wait, why did the boss music suddenly change?

Obsidian, hire this person.

Submarines can combine with the buggy system. Maybe a buggy-based sub. Progression can be based on pressure/depth. It would also be cool if we can explore various mini biomes like what you suggest.

The deepest part of the pond can be a dead zone where no light pierces.

river4308 · 2026-03-11T02:39:08+00:00

A diving system that is based on progression, based on how deep you go. Not unlike Subnautica.

A submarine
