Excited to give Gigabash a try - the steam reviews all day it’s like a modern Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters and I loved that back in the day

“Cooking” (i.e. reheating) a city ham (i.e. fully cooked , Easter-style ham) sous vide this year. Just me and the partner this year,so a turkey doesn’t make sense, especially since I’m usually underwhelmed with turkey anyway.

When I started playing VS, I was struck by how much the chest opening animation FELT like a slot machine - it was weird to encounter what normally feels like a predatory experience and have it NOT be trying to take your money.

I’m torn on whether it’d be good for more games to do this (mimic gambling without the predatory pricing associated with it) - on the one hand, it would provide alternatives to actual predatory games, like Gacha games, that won’t leave people poor, but on the other hand it also normalizes the concept as a legitimate gaming mechanic. This not only opens the door for more publishers to utilize the mechanic maliciously, but I also worry about what it might do to our brains to be constantly exposed to slot machine equivalents (moreso than they already are with gaming).

Since you’ve already got one tree, sink a 4x4 post in concrete (or just bury it if you want less permanence and like to live dangerously) to use for securing the other end of a hammock (with one end wrapped around the tree).

The post can serve double duty too - you could use it as a tetherball post (better to use a metal fence post in that case though? Or do they make dedicated tetherball posts), for either you or dogs.

With Survivors-like games, auto-fire becomes a necessity as the screen fills with enemies and you have multiple weapons or abilities. How do you plan to balance this theme of the genre with the need to activate abilities manually?

Started a fresh play of Mindustry this week and forgot how much I enjoy it. I play primarily on PC now to save my hands, but the mobile apps are free if someone wants to try it out!

lemmings, lemurs, lemurians?

I vote Lemurians just for the Golden Sun vibes.
