Social media as sentiment land rush.

These are my favorite cozy games:
Ostranauts
Voices of the Void
Pacific Drive
Valheim
Raft
Forever Skies
Vintage Story
Sons of the Forest
Grounded
Outpath
Subnautica (+ Below Zero)
Dragon Quest Builders 1 & 2
Cataclysm: Bright Nights (& cdda)

The more I hear about inverse proportion, the less I like it.

I guess the guy next to him with the regular gun is just in case :)

PBS news image of a soldier in fatigues pointing his anti drone gun towards the sky. It kind of looks like if an mp5 had every surface extruded 150% and then had a soft plastic shell stretched over it.

Fuck yeah going to the front lines with my Sega Menacer

Finally, reciprocal danger! 😋

Caves of Qud is out now for Nintendo Switch!

🍄 Buy on the eShop: www.nintendo.com/en-ca/store/...

Sounds like you're describing video games, in a way! They're selling the fantasy of setting goals and achieving them in a fantasy world, for the dopamine rush.

I like to think the games industry is less cynical, but there can be stinkers here, too.

You're on the list now. No washing that off 😋

It's a good suggestion! I don't know how hard it'd be to setup, but we can definitely look into it.

You have never correctly submitted your taxes.

Nobody has ever correctly submitted their taxes.

Every year, we just try to get closer to correct.

But we will never get there 😋

Caves of Qud on the Nintendo Switch eShop

The eShop page is live now! 😲

Yeah, tech level is fairly stable at this point. Cryopods are actually somewhat canon (from NEO Scavenger), but I'm not sure we'll add any here. Travel times are a matter of weeks at most, which is more akin to ocean cruises than interstellar travel.

And I agree a shower would be nice!

Ataage Agindaasonan - An Ojibwe/Anishinaabemowin card game A fun way to learn a language with access to audio translations and pronunciation breakdowns. Immerse yourself with the game phrases!

An Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) card game created by an Indigenous designer right here in #Winnipeg.

Currently $4,110 pledged of $7,000 goal.

Screenshot of the bar interior from Wing Commander, with two pilots sitting at a table, and a barkeep behind the bar. An arcade-like seated cabinet with cowl over the screen sits in the lower left-hand corner, where players could practice flying.

There's a good chance we'll keep this mode in the long run as an option on the main menu. If nothing else, it's great for folks to practice flying and/or fighting with low risk to their saves.

Like the combat simulator in Wing Commander :P

Screenshot of Ostranauts's Arena Mode main menu. A charcoal gray frame, hosting 3 LCD-like panels with glowing orange text and full-color images. Like an old laptop. The left panel includes a list of available ships, with a big CHOOSE below it. The center panel includes the ARENA MODE title, a text description of the mode, and a big, orange LAUNCH button at the bottom. The right panel is a detailed view of the currently selected ship. A top-down picture at the top, plus stats, and an orange EDIT SHIP button below.

For those that missed it yesterday, you can now play a sneak peek of our upcoming ship combat in Ostranauts!

Arena Mode lets you build spaceships out of working Lego-like parts, then field it against endless waves of hostile ships to see how far you get. #gamedev

Big things for Ostranauts this year! Plus they just added a new Arena Mode with wave-based ship to ship combat!

If I hit ctrl+! it should make a crater in my monitor where the carat was.

An incident report printed in the style of a dot-matrix printer, showing how many waves the player survived. The left side shows a topdown view of the whole ship when it started, and below that, how it looked when it ended. The lower image has entire chunks missing from the hindquarters of the ship, and the front is all chewed up rubble. A fire rages with billowing smoke just ourside the NAV room. On the right, the reported final wave was 9, with a total score of 71,842 points. There are buttons to RETIRE, EDIT, or CANCEL at the bottom.

If anyone can get past Wave 9, I want to know!

Ostranauts. Our plans for 2026 & Arena Mode beta

A brand new mode you can play right now! Arena Mode lets you hop into ship combat right away. Build a ship or select a preset and see how many waves you can survive!

Ding! Ding! Ding! 🙂

hard surfaces and all that!

Lol, thanks! They are a very popular item 🙂

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

Can't wait for you to try it! Thanks for the encouragement 🙂
