    Y'awl infected me with this talk of power generation and whatnot. I decided to try out Planet Crafters' demo and got hooked. I managed to turn the sky blue, and I've got a couple of food growing tubes, but jeez those things eat up a lot of energy! I don't think one squash and one eggplant is...

    The last game you completed

    Dragon's Dogma 2 is done. A fun game overall, though it did kick a few of its own teeth out late game. I get the feeling they ran out of time developing the main quest, so they ended up taking out some big chapters and just gluing it to the end game. They also failed to announce that the end...

    Character Height. When it's an option, how tall or short do you make your character? And any other character height related thoughts...

    Dragon's Dogma 1 was supposed to vary the game experience a bit according to height. Smaller characters could fit into smaller tunnels and taller could reach up higher. I don't remember if it really came out different more than once or twice over the whole game, though. I normally make my...

    Coconut Monkey Cornerclub

    I got to grill all right, though at least the temperature didn't get all the way to the 70's. Crazy weather is crazy. A cold front moves in tomorrow to bring back sanity. <ahem> Shall we do a comparison between their toy box and what % of games that are in your Steam library that you played...

    I finished Dragon's Dogma 2. I'm planning to play Mechwarrior: Clans next, but I need some non-action for a little while to 'clean the pallet.' I pulled up Endless Space 2 to see all the changes. A couple!? Below Zero isn't as good as the first Subnautica, but that's not saying much. Below...

    Setup for RedM

    Errr, and what's the name of these games?

    Coconut Monkey Cornerclub

    We've got some folks in the family travelling (to Australia!), so we did Christmas last weekend. It's also CRAZY warm here now. Warm enough that I think I'll be able to grill up some burgers on Christmas day. In short sleeves. Convenient, but deeply disturbing. P.S. Also, Steam servers...

    Beautiful Game Appreciation

    ANY similarity between Beastren and Kahjiit is entirely coincidental! --M'aiq the Liar

    Beautiful Game Appreciation

    Dragon's Dogma 2 The new Arisen (who hasn't figured out how to turn on his oil lantern yet). My new main pawn. Five years ago, I wouldn't have believed that Capcom would make a second game, but here we are! Thinking back, this is one of the more linear caves (actually, it turned out to be...

    Games You Are Looking Forward To the Most in 2026

    Well, I posted the games I'm looking forward to that aren't out at all in the wishlist topic. I'll use this to see if I can figure out what games I'll actually play this coming year. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2000890/MechWarrior_5_Clans/ Got it last sale and I'm just about done with...

    More on yellow paint: Are you a "yellow paint" hater?

    What's your favorite game for watching the numbers go up?

    Once everything is going strong in X4: Foundations, you can just sit back and watch your bank account go up and up. There's even an office in the HQ to do it in, surrounded by trophies for big quests you finished. I can't say I've ever done it for more than about 15 minutes, though, before I...

    More on yellow paint: Are you a "yellow paint" hater?

    Well, I'm doing a lot of cliff climbing in Dragon's Dogma 2 right now. It does a pretty good job of it, too. Personally, the visual clues I want to see are the cliff itself. Computers are going to be hyper precise, so if the slope is less than X you can climb but any more, even a fraction of...

    My mouse was kinda jumpy as I was moving it along my mousepad. The mousepad is really getting old, so I tried using a big mousepad that doesn't really fit well on my desk just to compare, and the mouse worked better. I was Christmas shopping anyway, so I just grabbed a new mousepad from Amazon...
