I forgot to make a thread last week but oh well. I have been playing a new Elden Ring character. I originally thought I was gonna try to get to the DLC as fast as possible but I then decided “nah” and have played through most of the game, but have finally arrived in the DLC and have respec’d my build for Rellana’s twin swords. Anyway, hope everyone has had a good week

    I started playing WoW again (I was clean for 6 years). Surprisingly the game is still fun even if more soulless than its past iterations. The MoP remix event is also really fun, my Nightborne Warlock is completely overpowered now

    Still enjoying Unicorn Overlord! Just making little bits of progress here and there.

    I also started playing Dome Keeper. I think I like the mining portions a lot better than the tower defense bits. Yes, I played Motherload a lot more than the little tower defense flash games lol

    I’m late, but I started playing Fire Emblem Blazing Blade and I have been enjoying it so far. It’s a bit dated and rough for things like dialogue, but for a 2003 GBA game I’m impressed with the level of detail in the animations and the art that appears sometimes when characters are talking. I was surprised that they could make it look as good as it does with how many pixels are on screen.

    I wanted to play some games, but instead, I sat down and wrote the foundation of my setting’s lore. It was just a short historical write-up, and I did it in a bit over 2 hours. At least it’s a first draft.

    Trying to close out Shadow of the Erdtree! Loved Elden Ring overall, but it definitely had more than its fair share of bullshit bosses and generally unfun segments, a game with a ton of highs, and some sour lows. I think I like Sekiro more still, as a pound for pound package.

    Soon, I will move onto Fear & Hunger, debating getting a censorship patch or not, or maybe if Fallout: London is out before I finish Elden Ring I will go for that, we will see.

    Satisfactory again. I have a whole ass spreadsheet file for this game. Planning for an extensive use of trains, each grouping of related products will be done together. e.g. I have an iron district, it imports iron ore from around the map, smelts it into iron ingots, and turns those ingots into iron plates, iron rods, and reinforced iron plates as needed. Any products that need these resources will draw from this district via trains, and when I need to expand I can build additional floors to the existing buildings.

    Here's a screenshot of my (very much WIP) home base

        Yeah I’m probably going to start another new save when 1.0 drops. Unless I don’t get anywhere with this one, which I suppose isn’t that unlikely.

            Thanks! I’ve still got work to do on it, like the decorative lights around the lower containers I want to extend to the rest of them, and probably change all the floors to coated concrete because it looks nicer. When I come up with good ideas I tend to reuse them in future save files.

            For instance here's a couple shots from my previous save where I used many of the same design ideas.

            I use trains a lot, and have a whole rail network set up (which I imported from elsewhere, since building out rail infrastructure every new save gets tedious). Putting a train in the middle of my mall lets me use trains as a mobile storage mall. I stock it up with things I need for building, then park it nearby the project I’m working on, so when my personal supplies run low I can restock from the train instead of going all the way back to base. Also I can dump stuff I pick up (slugs, leaves, wood, etc) into the train to free up space in my inventory. And when I want to return to base, I just have to hop in my train, set the autopilot back to base, then sit back while it takes me home. Watching the world go by from the train is its own pleasure.

                In the old save I built in the jungle forest/lake forest area, and in the new save I’m by the giant hole just northeast of grass fields. The window to the left overlooks the hole and the waterfalls pouring into it.
