- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #51 - Tavern Manager Simulator 4 days ago:
For single player games, I don’t see why players shouldn’t be able to play on their own pace.
Agreed, I always hate when games force me to rush an event or situation. I’m here to have fun! Let me enjoy it at my own pace!
Although I think the days in this game are plenty long enough. Just when I’m getting tired from running around, I realize it’s evening time in-game. It’s mostly morning that comes too soon. Once I’m prepped for the next day, I don’t have much time to run around and explore before it’s time to reopen the tavern.
I could just close earlier, but the more stuff I sell each day, the more money I have to work with for the next day. Upgrades cost money to unlock, so I’ve been saving up to expand the tavern. I haven’t bought any decorations and I only bought more tables so I can sell to more customers at a time. Although I don’t get enough customers to fill all the seats right now.

If I had to ask my boss for permission to use the restroom all the time, I’d probably respond the same way.

- Comment on Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"? 3 weeks ago:
I personally see “bloodline” as a specific, direct line of descendants through a certain genetic-based family, title, position, etc. Whereas a family tree is literally everybody you’re related to, directly or not.

- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #37 - Call of Cthulhu 3 weeks ago:
I’m glad you like my posts! My goal was to introduce people to a new game every day. I have way too many games in my Steam library and I’ve barely played a quarter of them, so this forces me to try something new every day and share it with others.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #37 - Call of Cthulhu 3 weeks ago:
I apparently have Conarium in my library already! I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
Yeah, Call of Cthulhu is not really a Lovecraftian game. You could easily substitute any other creature and it would still play out the same. The only element of the old RPG game that really carried over is the sanity level. The tabletop game would have you roll for sanity checks every now and then and basically track your gain or loss of sanity, which could alter your character as the game progressed.
That, and the eldritch creatures, are about all these games share in common with each other, and both are very loosely based on the Lovecraft short story. So it’s about as far removed from an H.P. Lovecraft work as you can get.

- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #36 - Kona 3 weeks ago:
Thanks! I originally planned for these posts to just be a screenshot or two, with maybe a little discussion on what’s going on in my latest games (See a few of my first posts). But one of my pet peeves with gaming communities is how everyone just assumes you know the game being discussed. They jump into fine details, or use acronyms or in-game lingo to talk about it, which alienates those who’ve never played the game. Sometimes I’m interested in a game being discussed, but I’ve never played it, so I can’t follow the discussion!
So I figured I’d make posts that introduce games to everyone. If you’ve played it before, it’s a nice refresher of the gameplay and gives you a space to gush about what you loved or hated about it. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s a good intro to the game and its story and mechanics.
Also, my other hidden purpose is to force myself to play more games. I have a Steam library of over 3,500 games and I’ve only played 25% of my library (according to SteamDB). So this forces me to pick something new every day and give it a shot. I’m discovering a lot of fun games that I didn’t even know I had in my library! I got a lot of my games through random bundles, so I didn’t even choose a lot of them.

I’ll be honest, just going over training on how to properly cook and assemble a burger brought back PTSD from my teen years… 😭

Congrats on hitting day #100! I just made it to #32 myself; I have a long ways to go.
Here’s to another 100! 🍻

I believe you’re right. I see on Steam that both exist, and the Duck Season game is VR only. I stand corrected.

That’s exactly how I feel. I love this game, but I hate survival games where you have to work just to stay alive, more or less avoid enemies. Suffice to say, I play this on the easiest mode, so I don’t have to think too hard about the survival aspect.

- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #27 - Zombie Army 4: Dead War 4 weeks ago:
You’re welcome! I have too many games and I enjoy playing and discussing them with people, which is why I post here. I sometimes forget what is in my library, so posting about a new game every day helps me to work through some games I’ve forgotten about, or discover new ones I bought in a bundle and never got around to playing.
In my opinion, there are too many news articles here about games and not enough discussion just appreciating games, so I thought I could start some conversation with these posts.

I did mention that in the post. It’s not on the Steam store anymore, but it has an offline mode with bots, so you can still play it.

- Comment on Switzerland authorizes removable PV plant on railway track 1 month ago:
This doesn’t seem like it would work. Debris falling off the trains, dusty buildup, vibrations, rocks bouncing around the tracks; heck, even just wildlife crossing the tracks. So many things are gonna damage those panels if they’re just lying on the ground between tracks, and solar panels are extremely fragile.
I hope they have some sort of bullet proof glass or something over those panels. Probably going to need a special train to spray water over them to clean regularly, too.
I dunno about Swiss trains, but the tracks behind my house in America leave a thick black film on everything, and it’s very hard to clean by hand. I think they transport coal.

Yeah the game distorts your vision slightly, to add to the subtle anxiousness. You can fine tube it in settings, but by default, it can make you feel a little unsteady and ungrounded.
