Unless the kids come from an abusive household where being gay or trans would be considered ‘sinful’ behavior so the kids don’t want to come out to their parents in any way.

And then the schools will narc on them.

I’ve heard supposedly that sitting back further away from the monitor helps with motion sickness, so if you have some sort of TV screen that you could hook up the game to, that might work?

Well there is a much larger focus on realistic survival, but I bet you could make some kind of item sorter using chutes and stuff. There are ways to grind mobs, but nothing to really cheese them like in Minecraft.

As for item diversity, there is a lot of different tree and mineral types (think Magnetite and Hematite being 2 ores for iron, with them being able to spawn in different rock types). I haven’t had too many issues with item sorting, but I’m rather disorganised in terms of sorting my storage.

Modders have probably made some sort of storage mods, since modding in VS is very robust and easy compared to Minecraft.

Crafting tools goes from bashing rocks together on the ground to make tool heads to pouring molten metal in clay tool molds (or physically smithing them out on an anvil with a hammer).

There are windmills, and the next update will bring water wheels, which power certain more advanced machinery like querns for grinding grain or helve hammers for somewhat automatic smithing.

I’m not worried about the stats since it’s better than my rig lol, but with ram and other hardware prices increasing, it does worry me a little that it could flop due to the price.

From what I could tell, the Bluesky OP had a private conversation with the younger fellow who simply just wanted to find out something from someone they might personally know.

It isn’t wrong to ask someone a question which could be easily googleable since the question is simply a way to converse and find out more about the person you’re questioning.

If they really are someone who just seeks attention, they’d just make ragebait about this topic publicly.

I’m sure they’ll continue development, considering that they are planning to use any improvements to existing systems that the Fantasy Mode devs will make.

Most people hope that the combat system will improve, but time will tell.

That was during the dream sequence at the end, no? You can even correct the character saying that they’re not lists, but trees or something like that.

I sure wouldn’t say no if they got rid of Stephen Crowder, since he’s the one in this meme.

The Beastfly in the Chapel isn’t too bad, since you can leverage its slam to take out any ads, however there is another arena where you fight it again and it spawns flying ads who shoot projectiles which deal double damage AND the boss breaks the platforms you’re standing on.

Feels like bullshit fighting against it.

I didn’t expect Vintage Story to suck me in as hard as it did, but now I’ve clocked in 40 hours since I bought it a few weeks ago.

Great game, though finding an iron vein was a pain.

You have a point there about the prevalence of politically incorrect jokes leading young men and influencers down a pipeline of right wing thought. I mean, gamergate did happen for a reason.

Though, I’m pretty sure that’s not what edging means

I’ve been trying out the Half Sword demo recently and yep, it’s medieval combat QWOP. Very fun tho, in spite of my poor framerate.

Other than that I’ve been setting up maps and stuff for a DND one shot I’ve been planning to run. Will be fun to see how that pans out.

Wasn’t the attempted suicide rate for men and women the same (not completely sure), but men overall tended to opt in for more ‘successful’ methods making the actual suicide rate higher?

Wait till he gets to the modded lore.

Bottom centre is like taking another phone to photograph the one displayed on your phone.

No wonder it’s pure evil.

Instead of Vietnamese children making t-shirts to sell to the USA, they want American children to make t-shirts to sell to Vietnam.

This makes absolutely no fucking sense even from a nationalistic standpoint.

Black holes instead of brains

That implies that shitty people can’t become successful businessmen, which is simply not true (just look at every billionaire ever).

And that Trump is a successful businessman, even though most of his businesses ran themselves into the ground and he at some points of his life was millions (or billions, can’t remember completely accurately) of dollars in debt.

Wtf is that supposed to mean.
