    Fucking love SS13, though I will point prospective players to look up and play space station 14 instead as it’s essentially supplanted 13 as a superior game now.

    Also, if you want a great peak into what the game can be like look up the YouTube video “To Kill a Captain”


  • I’ve been playing Mario + Rabbids lately (both games). I went back to the first game to 100% it and I’m on the last 2 ultimate challenges of the donkey kong dlc now. I’ll probably finish those up this weekend. Honestly? It’s crazy how fun these games are. A mario squad tactics game made by ubisoft with its minions-like characters sounds like a recipe for disaster but wow did they kind of nail it.

    I’ve also been playing Dragons Dogma 2 (on PC though it did release on switch I hear). The dark arisen content is taking a while to get to though, I’m 20 hours in to this file and I still have only done the intro lost rites dungeons… I went to Norgan and I’m still getting my ass beat by the first group of enemies there at level 50, even though the zone is recommended for level 40! Hard mode has felt pretty inconsequential in the base game so far but I guess they really mean it in the dlc! Frankly, I’m quite thrilled about that. It means I don’t have to worry about accidentally overlevelling like it’s so easy to do in the base game. All in all though, I’m having a great time with all the updates from the last few months, and I’m looking forward to finally getting into Norgan proper!

    Animation memes aren’t “funny” memes, they’re memes in the sense of an idea that spreads and replicates. They’re memes because multiple people make their own versions of the animation and post it. The joke in this post is that the person thinks animation memes are supposed to be funny like shitpost memes, when that’s not the point of them.

    Oh yeah, just to clarify I’m talking about animation memes like this (warning: YouTube link) not people making memes talking about animation.




  • If someone is board game shy, I like to pull out Century. It’s a fun game that’s pretty short and has plenty of strategy, but best of all the rules are a single page. Quick explanation of the goal, the resources, and what you can do each turn and we’re off to the races. If they’re ever confused I just hand them the page and they don’t have to hunt for anything, all the info is right there. Perfect board game for beginners or when you just don’t feel like a 3 hour scythe campaign.

    A popular genre in Japanese media is the Isekai or “another world” genre, in which the main character is brought from our world to a different one. There are many mechanisms by which this happens such as portals or summoning magic, but the most common method by far is reincarnation after death.

    Because it’s more interesting if the death is sudden and the main character is unprepared, the death is usually in some sort of accident. The most commonly used accident is a car accident, usually with a truck like the one seen in the post here.

    Therefore it’s become a meme among people who consume Isekai stories that “Truck-kun” will send you to the afterlife.


  • Big fan of Vintage Story. It’s a voxel survival game like Minecraft but with a much heavier focus on realism and depth. There’s a much more satisfying sense of progression compared to Minecraft and the slower paced gameplay makes it feel extremely cozy despite the higher difficulty and complexity. Plus it’s got a very active modding community too!

    I know it’s not quite a community builder, but it’s definitely a game for watching your world grow and evolve over significant periods of time!




  • Monster Hunter.

    There’s a community saying: everyone loves Monster Hunter, they just haven’t played it enough yet. It’s an incredibly common experience for new Monhun players to hate it on their first or even second go around, but then eventually fall in love! It happened for me twice in fact. I played Tri on the Wii back when I was a kid, and then World on release in college, but did not get far either time. Then I tried it again a few years later and now I have played at least one monster hunter game from every generation as well as most of the spinoffs and it is my favourite series ever!
