DDE Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Realized I needed a game where I wasn't building or leveling... Portal is surprisingly as fun as it was years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerodynamic Kerbal Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I've played Gmod, Terraria, Portal, Portal 2 and Half Life because I bought them for the Summer Sale. I did get other HL games too, but I haven't played them yet. Like every summer, I'm at my grandparents' apartment for the rest of the summer without a laptop so...

Superfluous J Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 My wife and I have been playing Ark: Survival Evolved. Coming there from Valheim has been rough; building is VERY constrained and you can't jump up on a rock more than about a foot tall. But it's a nice change and we pretty much did everything possible in Valheim. I tried Juno: New Origins but it's just not as fun as I want a space game to be. I can't exactly place WHY, but it just feels like KSP sanitized. I bought Darkest Dungeon 2 on the Steam Sale, but haven't played it yet. Why? Because I'm playing Darkest Dungeon 1 and want to finish the playthrough before I start. For no reason whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just feels sterile, and the missions (at least the early ones) are tediously boring; like drive up a generic slope for an hour or two.

Kerbalsaurus Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) I apologize for double posting, but I've been working on this for around a month now: behold, Dunsfield, NJ! Disclaimer: not a real city. Named after Lord Sir Dun of England, it was settled in 1713 as an attempt to set up a port in the New Jersey colony. It kinda failed to do so though… as did most of New Jersey. However, the city did continue to grow anyways. Located in Atlantic County, its easy access to goods from Philadelphia made sure the city didn't completely fail. During the American Revolution, the city served as an important lifeline during the several battles for New York City. In the 1800s, the city continued to grow and eventually a port was set up. During the civil war, Dunsfield was an important powerhouse for the north. After World War 2, the city began to gain traction. Rapid growth ensued, and Dunsfield quickly became the biggest city in the entire state of New Jersey. In the 80's, the first skyscrapers were built in the city. To this day, the city continues to be a powerhouse of the United States, and a very poular tourist destination. It even has a space center! Main part of center city Lord Dun square Dunsfield International Airport Dunsfield Space Center, a.k.a. Boca Chirpa.

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I'm actually quite pumped for Cities Skylines 2. @Superfluous J - I had a ton of fun with Darkest. It was so unlike anything else, it was great. Did not pull the trigger on 2 during the sale, and wish I had. However, I did pick up Anno 1800... and that game is DENSE. So many things to keep track of. Might be a bit too fiddly, in some ways - but intriguing, nonetheless. I got mad at Cities b/c it would not let me treat my separate small towns (Industries DLC) as separate towns. I started a small farming/forestry village and another mining and oil village a ways away, thinking I could ship the primary goods via rail to a massive industrial park next to my 'city' and have everything work nicely. Nope. I was exporting and importing the stuff I needed... unless my trucks decided to drive there the long way. The minute anything hit the cargo terminal near the villages, it was an export. The factories pulling from the cargo terminal near them got imports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw what happened with the sequel of my other favorite game. But yeah, I agree, it is kind of annoying that you can’t have other areas be their own municipalities. If you want a fast way to get to your main city though, you might want to build a faster road into it, and maybe even make it a priority road.

Kerbalsaurus Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 After some complaints about the airport, I literally rebuilt it from the ground up for 3 straight hours yesterday. Here's the result: It's now much more realistic. The whole airport is kind of inspired by LAX, with the double runway and such, but I definitely added some of my own creative touches.
