Yeah, I grew up in a remote place, lived somewhere with to-the-door post for quite a while, and now live in a remote place again … I pick up my post from the village bar, and it’s a very good excuse to stop for a drink while I’m there :-)

1: An open world exploration game that doesn’t have combat … like Breath of the Wild but without all the fighting and with lots of short stories and puzzles.

Basically I want to be able to go wandering off and uncover ancient ruins etc without having to fight for my life.

2: Snowrunner, but with a good narrative story mode and gearboxes that actually work.

There’s so much potential to have engaging stories in that game, which could be tied into improved game structure (namely restricting truck / tire choice to make some tasks challenging in an interesting way).

So, Tux Kart?

Edit: or more old school, Wacky Wheels (I think I still have a copy somewhere)

I don’t think Farm Simulator has any combat

I live in a remote place and a few times a year have to live without stuff, so my list after water, food and shelter (assuming those are the minimum version of what the word means) would be: A sanitary toilet A means of washing oneself A reliable way of cooking food A reliable way of providing light at night Access to xkcd.com

Only if the monkey can tap dance

Star Trek TNG literally started with space jellyfish, too

The lady on the right might be a Sith!

Probably for the best

Thank you, I’ll take a look at those two :-) Necrotech was already on my list, but that was just because of the cover, lol

Cool, I’ll keep an eye out for those books!

Does Murderbot have a predefined kill limit?

This is a thoughtful list, and an interesting thing to think about!

I had a trans girlfriend and through her transition it was indeed on her mind a lot. Once she was settled and just being herself it basically became no issue at all.

On a related issue, have you got any good book recommendations for cyberpunk that features other members of the Alphabet Mafia?

Just what we need, libertarian ogres …

Linux Mint is easier to use than Windows

As a lover of cyberpunk and a lover of webcomics, thank you for the link - I’ll give it a try this weekend!

I’m looking forwards to getting stuck into the story mode this weekend, though I have to wonder if I’ll be able to finish it given how long it’s been since I’ve played anything that needs reflexes, lol

Mostly I got the game to play with my partner, and on that front it’s been excelent so far :-)

Pity, I’ll avoid it, I’ve already got enough unfinished stories in my head!

So, when you say it’s no longer updated do you mean it finished a story arc and was left there, or does it just stop in some random place as happens with so many web comics?

This is great, because it located me about a full day’s drive from where I live, so I’m still pretty anonymous :-)

Ah ok, now I understand … though it’s not something that I’d get excited about I’m glad the idea has you feeling enthusiastic :-)
