Was it kind of weird that this game and another were both based on a split screen, multiplayer, dual reality scenario? I forget what the other game was…

I have been in on this game since very early days when there was barely a game there. It has come a really long way. If you like cozy sims and want a different spin on city building, this game has some unique elements and is quite fun. There is a free demo available on Steam.

These split screen couch co op adventure games have proven very popular for gamers getting their non gaming partner or friend into games, so I think we are seeing a new trend certainly emerge 
My friend Rossa moved to Spain to live with his Partner and it takes two and that one about the prison outbreak from a good few years back are precisely what they’ve been playing and actually asked me if there were any more like that they could play :3

I love The Long Dark and always wished it was multiplayer. But the Wintermute plot requires that your alone so im very excited about TLD2: Blackfrost
I both love and hate that they did a “rabbits foot” from mission impossible with the hardcase and I really want to know whats inside it 
hopefully they reveal what it is in episode 5, whenever it releases.
Now that the setting of TLD2 has been shown, I have a feeling that whatever is in the hardcase might now be a sort of “cure” for the aurora effects but its extremely limited in use.

I love the loner aspect of the current game. I can move at my own pace and horde all the supplies for myself. There are a few people I would be willing to share that space with so I am eager to see how their MP works.
Survival with others is not a decision to take lightly. Some people crack under the pressure to survive.

Yea. Multiplayer isnt for everyone and TLD can easily stress out two people who dont know how to work together. Fortunately I played ark with some close friends and family so we know the drill on how to survive together and have fun

And the person who wrote the Indiana Jones article I posted earlier, is just wrong. Grab all you can as you play the story. It is way too difficult to find your way around later and some areas are inaccessible. If this game had a Story+ mode then you could run thru again and grab stuff but the Revisit function is just not programmed well. Because it basically puts you back in the game before you have played the ending leaving guards in new positions and things blown up and changed. It is a mess. Grab all you can during your initial play thru.

Hmmm. Lets put charged particles right next to your cpu. What can possibly go wrong…

Back in the 1980s I had computers, and I had printers. I could tell when a taxi or an emergency service vehicle passed by, because their VHF radios would make my computer suffer personality changes, and my printer would churn out pages of nonsense.
Then phone manufacturers started including computer functions into mobile phones – and I thought “This can’t possibly work – this is a radio transmitter powerful enough to reach a mast 30 miles away – and they’re putting it right next to a computer chip”.
Despite my misgivings, the damned things worked. Then the manufacturers added more transmitters, and more frequencies – they added 3G, 4G, and 5G. They added Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. They added near-field contactless, and they added RF ID. And all the time, the computers included got more sophisticated, and more vulnerable – but what do you know? The damned things still work.

OMG remember messing up the TV just so you could watch it degausse when they first started doing it automatically? Prior to that, the dreaded rainbow edge or corner was a nightmare.

I got degaussed once.
Seriously. I was a submarine sailor in the navy and was aboard ship when we got it degaussed. I didn’t even have a rainbow edge or corner, I was just along for the ride.

You see what degaussing can do to you? This is science. If the Lord had meant us to mess with electricity, He would have fitted us with batteries.

I thought about not posting this because we have drifted off the ‘game related’ topic, but then I realized it does get us back to a game, of sorts.
At electronics school in the navy we had this ‘game’ that was pretty close to the premise of that ‘human battery’ article. If you take the probes of an ohmmeter in each hand and press the tips with your thumbs you can make the measured resistance of your body go down by pressing harder. Of course, among sailors this leads to competition, since pressing on the metal points becomes painful so “who can take pressing the hardest to get the lowest reading?” is a thing.
Until they tell you the ‘legend.’ Supposedly, at some time, somewhere, someone ‘playing the game’ pushed so hard that the points stabbed into their thumbs. Since basically all of the resistance of the human body is actually the skin the two probes hitting through to the blood, which is basically an ionized solution in water and a nearly perfect conductor, sent a fatal shock through the player.
Some people wanted to ignore the legend, but it actually weighs out as so plausible that we did quit playing.
