It's not a dedicated game and idk if servers even run these anymore, but the original popular "battle royal" was minecraft hunger games servers and they did kinda run like that - no stats obviously, but throwing you empty into a bounded world where you'd have to survive and craft and kill monsters and each other. I think some of them might've even had like your sponsor drops where you'd get potions or enchanted stuff
I want a modern difficult farming Sim with an in depth relationship mechanic and no fucking combat. The old harvest moon games are good, but I've kinda played them to death and for some idiotic reason they removed stuff like rival marriages from the remakes. Rune factory has combat, and so does stardew valley (in addition to having a relationship mechanic that's just, really shallow), and it seems like all the farming Sim games that don't have combat are like baby's first farm Sim and are all cutesy and aren't very difficult
Like it feels like this would be an easy thing to do, right?
There's the sonic racing series which has a few ports on PC. I haven't played them on PC, but I've played them on the switch and they're pretty Mario kart-ish.
Also you can play as The Heavy
Yeah if you live in like, Germany or France
More like Europe: sorry we don't ship there lol. Oh we do? Hope you like paying twice the price for shipping that takes two weeks if you're lucky
You could probably back this up by looking at the alcoholism rates in Scandinavia (especially Norway and Sweden)
Scandinavia had their own prohibition and still to this day have a strict 18/21+ drinking age with booze only being sold during very specific hours (and never on Sundays or religious holidays), with anything above I think 12% only available at the government run bottle shop
Stardew valley - it sells itself as a harvest moon inspired farming Sim but as someone who grew up playing a lot of harvest moon, I really can’t help but be super disappointed in it. Harvest moon games have a complex and more importantly moving relationship system - you start to go after one marriage candidate, the others will pair themselves up and have kids alongside you. People move in and out and you need to really get to know people in order to progress the game and unlock things. Stardew valley? Super flat in comparison. All the candidates you don’t marry feel super flat once you lock yourself out of them. There’s not much locked behind friendship so there’s less reason to get out there and really work on befriending everyone.
Also fucking combat - it’s a supposedly nice and peaceful farming Sim, yet combat is an unavoidable part of the game. I didn’t sign up for combat! It’s not fun it’s just annoying.
Because the entire point was that the character in question is genderless and this was the early 80s and also French so more modern gender neutral terms didn’t exist yet, and “let’s just smash the two gendered endings together” was his attempt at one (I’m guessing emperoratrix comes from a literal translation from French, where a female emperor is an imperatrice, and -trice is -trix in english, so imperatorice -> emperoratrix) The book also uses s/he as a pronoun instead of they.
I mean hey, it’s much more gender neutral than just defaulting to the masculine like say Le Guin did in left hand of darkness
Fine fine, then Emperoress instead. It’s what the actual English translation of The Incal uses
English should absolutely do this you’d end up with some really cool words. Also because Jodorowsky was absolutely right - emperoratrix is a fucking kickass title
A bootable Linux USB is legit a nice thing to have in your bag - it being Hannah Montana is just the icing on the cake. I’ve got one in my handbag (not HM though). No GNU license card but does creative commons count?
…it’s more of a conversation starter than an actually useful thing but, y’know. Hannah Montana Linux. Useful for pranks if anything
Dodoco goes on the bag, not in it silly
They also do the vocals! Smh how could you forget Hatsune Miku?
Snails are more in the same category as squids and octopuses, and I know people who won’t eat those because they’re ‘gross’
A big man sized cockroach living in your attic. Or maybe it’s a cockroach shaped man.
Please be nice to him he’s going through a lot
Human sized roach. I mean Gregor just kinda died of his own accord didn’t he? You just gotta emotionally reject it as having ever been your son and maybe throw an apple or two at it.
God fucking damn it people you know this is literally a stonetoss comic right? This isn’t a funny meme you’re quoting an actual neonazi.
Also in art apps, because it’s not uncommon to want to undo and redo the same action over and over to see the difference something makes
…except gimp and krita. Seriously get your damn act together youse two
Does that mean you also pronounce scuba sku•ba instead of skoo•bah? Because that U stands for Underwater not OOnderwater. And what about Jpeg? Shouldn’t it be Jeg because the P in photographic is silent.
In Australia I had the option to learn Japanese and then when I went over to Europe my school specifically had a Chinese option, both for “facilitating trade and future relations”
Ngl years later I kinda only use my Chinese skills when I’m at the Chinese market and I’m trying to find the right ingredients for something, and I reckon out of my entire class I probably benefited the most out of taking the language. It isn’t the cultural trade exchange they were hoping for…but hey, it’s pretty useful being able to correctly identify stuff when the English stickers they plaster on the label are vague at best and incorrect at worst
The closest thing to what you're talking about is grafting, but that's a specific thing that only works on certain species and I don't think can "glue" two entire halves of a tree back together, maybe just a branch at the most if you're very careful and lucky
It's why if you plant a seed from a random apple from the supermarket, you're very probably not going to get a tree that produces that apple. Most commerical fruit trees (including ones from your local garden centre) tend to have a bottom half that's hardy and resistant, and then a top half which was "glued" on that actually provides the fruit you want. The bottom half controls the genetic material in the seed, but the top half controls what the fruit will look like.
On the other hand, you can totally glue a snapped cactus back together, provided it hasn't been too long and the two halves aren't too damaged.
