“It’s biodiesel maaan!”

Multiplayer relies on other people so they are more likely to have people buy it early on to play with their friends and a high player count.

The downside is you’re paying full price for a game that still has issues to sort out. And eventually the game dies off when everyone else moves on to the next thing

Single player games are cool because in many ways the value goes up over time. You pay a lot less to get a full more polished game, some with an awesome mod community making even more stuff.

But to get back on track with this post yeah you can totally balance it. Play the best multiplayer games while new single player games release, get fixed and get less expensive

uhhh yeah, and?

The last panel is a little on the nose for their usual style. I think “Few will to make it so” is what I would have gone with

It was a two hour kind of day

“Hey does this smell like chloroform to you?”

Thanks, that’s…interesting. He doesn’t seem like the type to find and try obscure apps for fun

I’m out of the loop what’s going on?

Lawyers Guns and Money intensifies

Thanks! To be fair I glossed over a LOT

Metal Gear Solid 2 plays out like this. Spoilers below but it came out in 2001 so whatever

The bad guy is a former President that knew his job was just as a figurehead, nothing more. He found out the hard way that even his orders came from a cutout.

He recruited “terrorists” to take the sitting President “hostage” so they could “force him” to detonate an EMP over the east coast. The plan is to dismantle the shadow government (actually AI) running the government/censoring public opinion and hopefully free the country

You play as the wide eyed idealistic special forces infiltrator, trained heavily through VR and sent to “rescue” the sitting President from the “terrorist leader” and learn that everything you know is wrong and you were given orders by the AI all along

After a few failed tries I started doing a serious play to win run of XCom UFO Defense with OpenXCom. The game can seem daunting but it’s honestly pretty fun!

Then I looked into other open source games and got distracted big time by starting Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 for my first time EVER with OpenRCT2! I now fully understand the hype and it’s crazy that I haven’t played it sooner

And the meme itself looks like it was recieved on SSTV

…just knowing that makes me realize how big of a nerd I am

Now this is the calligraphic geekout I came here to see

I mean, yeah

‘Yuh huh!!’

I like them

“Nevermore”

It’s not surrounded by a ton of corporate bs. I know the us govt has their own openstreetmap setups (like this basic unclassified one) and wiki sites (intellipedia) because it’s a proven framework to set up and add your own information.

gps too
