I believe he said it took place in the same universe at some point? So there will probably be overlap between them.

Man this is a ton of new stuff! Just when I think I’ve played enough Stardew there’s another update and I start all over again.

Somehow they managed to make the game look even stranger than the first one, which I didn’t think was possible. I remember trying to watch a playthrough of the first game and it was a bit too out there for my tastes already.

Wow those are gorgeous. They look like they’re glazed ceramic!

Totally agree with this. The first few hours were great but then when you get the broom and you see the huge open space that’s just really lacking. I really wish it never went to that scale.

The actual awards where they celebrate the games they are supposedly meant to celebrate. Some respect for the devs who poured all their time into making them instead of being rushed off the stage. And finally it would be nice for them to actually acknowledge the industries struggles this year and put a light on the fact that the gaming culture is kinda rotten and this is meant to counteract it, instead it seems to fall into the same hole.

Yeah I definitely felt that all the stuff I actually wanted to see were rushed and replaced instead with a ton of ads and generic looking game trailers. There were only a few trailers that were actually notable and for a 2h show that was super disappointing. The speeches getting rushed and a lot of them not even having time to go up was also very disrespectful to the devs. Just overall not great.

Ah I was hoping Dredge would have won one of the indie categories. Such a good game!

I’m so glad these will be another one! The first one was so great. I can’t wait to see what crazy things they think of for this one.

It’s on sale right now on switch (which is where I played the first as well) but not on steam.

I played through Far: Lone Sails and really enjoyed the light puzzle and management of the machine. It was super atmospheric and I really loved the game overall. It was a perfect casual game that really absorbed me into it. Going to play the sequel as well soon.

I haven’t played Outer Wilds but from what I know of it it should be similar. The Forgotten City is based on real world history though which was pretty interesting and it’s much more compact than what I’ve heard of Outer Wilds. It look me maybe ~7h to finish it fully, but can definitely be done faster too.

I played through The Forgotten City and really liked it! It’s a time looping puzzle game where you have to unravel the mystery of a strange city before every day it collapses into ruin. It really sucked me into the story and I could forgive a bit of the jankiness in the actual gameplay. The characters were all interesting and were very interconnected which made the whole thing feel quite alive. I didn’t love the ending (there are technically multiple but I managed to get the canon one on my play through), it was okay but a little out of nowhere, everything before that was good.

Beautiful! Mine is growing super slow after a mealybug outbreak and some overly enthusiastic pruning… too many nooks to treat. But eventually I’ll have a bunch of rooted props.

The September House sounds like it could be good! I also read Clay McLeod Chapman’s previous book, Ghost Eaters, which i liked so hopefully his new one will be as well.

You can go to second hand bookstores and grab lots of books for a much better price to stock the library with! Also worth keeping a bunch of extras to restock as needed. People are suppose to put stuff back into the libraries but not sure how the take vs. return ratios are.

Hm I’m pretty sure what you have there will just be zombie leaves. Essentially they will root and they will stay alive but they will never grow the stem to continue a new ficus plant. You need an actual node from the original stem to create a new plant.

A scindapsus pictus (satin pothos) would look really cool in that!

I live in an apartment so my gardening is limited to containers on my balcony as well as a million tropical houseplants. I finally figured out what grows best in my conditions of scorching hot in the morning and nice and cool in the afternoon out there. I’m growing a fig and a dwarf citrus as well as a blueberry bush that is finally not hating the spot I put it in! Otherwise it’s a bunch of succulents out there.

I’m hoping one day to have a real garden but for now I’m having fun with what I can grow both indoors and outdoors.

An obvious one might be Rand from Wheel of Time series. He is feared/hated by various groups for various reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that he is destined to break the world again. The Aiel especially have a weird relationship with him because of this.
