Forget who watches the watchers. Who crashes the crash loggers?

Seconding Zomboid and also throwing Stationeers onto the pile. Both of these games have been in Early Access for years, much longer than most games take to make. But these two are not your average games. We’re talking thousands of hours of playtime between them. More depth than you can shake a stick at, in both games.

Zomboid is the most detailed and realistic Zombie Apocalypse game you’ve ever seen. Keep your survivor character fed, clothed, warm and happy. Build thousands of objects in your base including barracades for doors and windows, entire walls. You can go in the woods and chop down trees and make your own house from scratch. And then there’s the zombies! Crazy good game.

Stationeers is kind of a mix between base building in Space Engineers and Dwarf Fortress. It’s gonna make you wish you had a chemistry degree. Atmospherics are extremely detailed. Your character also has the usual needs like food and water but also they recently introduced the need to have a bathroom. No longer does your video game character inhale huge quantities of food and drink that just disappears into a void. Now you get polluted water! Oh, not that glamorous I guess.

I’m pretty stressed out about the situation I’m in. It’s a long story but I’ll try to sum it up. I’m more or less working 2 full time jobs right now along with all the stuff that comes with being a home owner and partner to another person.

One job is “normal”. And boring, so I hate every second of it. Other job is my dream but isn’t currently paying the bills very well. It could, if I could quit the first job and focused on only the second but money won’t ramp up immediately.

I’m not making enough between the two jobs to build up a buffer. Quitting the first job is the best path but it will also come with upsetting my partner for a period of time until the second job ramps up.

I’m so annoyed about how expensive it is to live. None of us signed up for this!

Yeah, I can’t stand wireless mice. But enjoy!

Yeah, the reason I stopped using mine was because the feet wore off and I felt like it was time to upgrade to the better laser of the G400s. Otherwise, they’re the same mouse. Buttons in the same place, same shape. Different color, better laser and bigger feet.

Are you me?

Looks like my 12 year old MX518 looked like when I retired it for a G400s.

Yeah, in it’s current iteration, it just exudes potential. I couldn’t just let it die so I started digging for information and ended up speaking with the developer whom noone had heard from in 5 years. Original source code is lost, unfortunately. So I’m starting from scratch.

My friend made Block Shop. The steam page for it is up now. If you like puzzle games then definitely check it out!

Rogue System

I’m rebooting a massive space video game that was abandoned a few years ago. It’s way too much game for me but whatever, I’ll level up and then it won’t be any more.

As a long time Unity user, thanks for your hard work. It’s appreciated more than you could ever know.

The differences in thermal paste brands is pretty minimal. It does dry out over time. What I think is more likely is that your fan’s air ducts have become clogged with hair and dust. That’s probably the biggest issue with your cooling.

Yes, in the long term you are saving money but if you have 20 bucks but not 100, what vape are you buying? That’s the point I’m making.

I do vape. The long-term reusable vapes are a LOT more expensive than the disposable ones. My current setup cost 100 USD before batteries or coils.

The fourth half is pretty easy though.
