Big shout out to Beyond All Reason. It’s an RTS game that’s free and open source that I’ve been playing with my friends for a few weeks now. Not even a fan of RTS games, but it’s a lot of fun to play co-op matches against AI.

Did Elon just call Americans retarded lol

Rotwood is a good one. Co-op Roguelite beat-em-up from the Don’t Starve guys.

Lethal Company is just lots of fun, we’ve gotten too much time out of that dumb game. Maybe check out Content Warning if you like LC but want a change.

Outward is a fantastic old-school RPG for two people, has all the traits of a game from 2002

Palworld - haven’t hopped back into this one since its launch but have been meaning to. But this type of game is definitely not underrepresented on the market.

Escape Simulator is a nice stress-free co-op escape room game, lots of official content and also has Steam Workshop so there’s tons of great content.

PlateUp! if you’re not worried about getting into a fight over how awful your buddy is at making food

Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is a Zelda-like RPG that’s a surprising amount of fun for how simple the game first looks.

Other bigname recs: Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Baldur’s Gate 3, Sea of Thieves, Deep Rock Galactic, Stardew Valley

In ZZZ there’s not much you need to do in the overworld by looking up, it’s 100% to see more angles of the character

Up, it has a surplus. Government ‘borrows’ from the pool to pay for stuff. When they say they’re making cuts, what they mean is they don’t intend to pay the debt.

Correct! We like to travel~ I make sure to send all my nieces/nephews birthday cards and nice Christmas presents

No kids, never wanted them, made sure I never have them. Happily married for 8 years, she never wants kids either.

My friend group has been having a lot of fun with Beyond All Reason. Also free/open source RTS

they pay devs millions

I mean I see this as a good thing. I have to keep a separate launcher around but… at least that dev is getting a great deal and will probably be able to support that game for a while (or start their next one)

My takeaway is that since MILITARY INTEREST is involved, these materials will be exempt from the tariff.

First used in 1854, “brain rot” resurfaced in 2024 amid debates on humanity’s relationship with technology.

Yeah I saw the thumbnail and ‘steam game’ and had a moment of confusion. Fantastic background music for D&D, and the animations are simple but endearing. Also, it looks like new lore in the steam app (world map)!! I do like this setting, and I’d like to learn more~

But yeah Blue Turtle doesn’t make the music, which is the highlight of the series. I wonder if the steam app licenses them? Or are they royalty free?

Wise actually worked with OC Remix on the DKC album!

It’s fantastic to see an article like this in the Times. His work continues to be incredible, with more recent works like Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair and Gimmick 2.

AI delivery bots maybe? It’s basically an aggregate of “here’s where it’s possible/common to walk” so it’s not useful for driving/flying AI. Also useful for marketing, knowing where foot traffic is.

The article says they’re treating it as a Large Geospatial Model (like a Large Language Model), so it seems like you could use that as a predictive way to navigate between two points. With an LLM it spits out phrases based on context. The LGM would return paths based on context.

Hell OpenStreetMap highlights it. Probably because people have been searching it?

You accidentally wrote in two unnecessary words at the end of that sentence.

There actually is a huge push to replace ALL lead service lines in the next few years. Also the EPA has extra funding for treatment of “emerging contaminants” which includes PFAS. Republicans are trying (and succeding) to reduce this funding.

Very cool, got a ‘75%’

You need empathy to moderate. What other reason is there to do it? You want to make the community a better place by keeping things civil and on-topic. You also need to be able to level with people about their criticisms and concerns.
