I'm big on the cult of the old. I'd rather play one game ten times than ten games one time, and I think that if a game can't hold up to at least five plays it isn't worth owning. Of course, if other people want to spend their money on that kind of stuff, it's fine, but I like to keep my collection small and replayable. In my opinion, the best board games get better with repeated plays because that's when you can really get into the strategy.

Side note, but I also really hate the idea of legacy games where you just have to throw the thing out once you're done.

Cool! I think whether or not this works will vary from case to case, but I'm glad you got it working.

New Mandela effect just dropped.

No, I always remember it being a forge mod, since the 1.15 days at least. Not sure what to tell you. Maybe they discussed Fabric but went with Forge in the early stages? Maybe you're thinking of being frustrated with it not being a Fabric mod and having to install Forge? Maybe you're thinking of another mod entirely?

Hadn't heard of it before, but looks neat! RPG-style packs are cool but sometimes get ignored in the sea of tech and magic packs.

RLCraft is definitely a modpack, ha. Don't be afraid to change packs if you end up getting frustrated, since I've heard that unfair deaths are pretty common. You could also do stuff like turn KeepInventory on.

Beautiful! Great to see trains in minecraft. I know it's been done before, but Create does it while keeping in the spirit of the game by having you build it however you want in game.

PopTop. Railroad Tycoon 2&3 and Tropico 1&2. They got bought by 2K, which eventually killed the studio. The Railroad Tycoon series is dead. Tropico is still around, but I'm not excited about the latest interation. Some of the guys tried to kickstart a new Railroad Tycoon but it didn't fund. Phil Steinmeyer was an underrated developer, though I believe he's retired today.

It's too bad it worked out that way. I think they could have been on the level with Paradox as far as strategy games are concerned, but focusing more on economic games, city builders, and the like. On Steinmeyer's blog he said he didn't think there was demand for heavier games anymore about mid 00s. That might have been true then, but so many games out now prove that wrong.

I waited for most of them to leave first. I do have a good crossbow tower setup, but the problem is that crossbows aren't effective against undead.

Mini zombies tend to spawn in groups, I find. Probably not many other valid spawn locations if you're getting a bunch of spawns

 

On time as always, it's time to ask: What Have You Been Playing?

 

On time as always, our monthly "What Are You Playing?" post! Whatcha all doing, fellow blockheads?

From the creator of Brass and a couple other reasonably successful modpacks comes an entirely new experience: Rotary Skies!

You wake up and look at your floating rock of dirt. It seems so familiar, somehow, but then a massive meteor screams through the sky overhead. Welcome to Rotary Skies!

Rotary Skies is the authorized Rotarycraft-centered Skyblock modpack. The start seems similar enough, but as soon as you get steel, a whole world of engines, gearboxes, grinders, pumps, and centrifuges opens up!

Work through over eighty quests as you go from cobblestone generators to fusion reactors! The quests guide you but don’t hold your hand. They’ll tell you what you need to do next, but not exactly how. In Rotary Skies, the “how” is the fun part!

There is no sieving in this modpack! What are you, some kind of caveman? No, until our liquefaction machines and centrifuges are up and running, we hunt for ores in the nether, like men (or other strong, mighty genders)!

We also keep bees, and by “keep bees” I mean selectively-breed and genetically-modify bees in our quest for the uberbiene: the ultimate bee! We’ve also got trains and stuff, so that’s cool.

Eventually the day will come where we will obtain the elusive and mysterious Crystal, allowing us to escape from our Sky Island and into pocket dimensions of our own creation, full of resources and incredible creatures.

This mod caught my eye. It's similar to a plugin that was on a server I used to play on. Nice to see it as a proper mod instead of a plugin. It's pretty configurable and could be a good addition to the right modpack.

 

It's an authorized port, and it looks like most of the cart stuff has made it over.

From Civ to Centauri and the Aztec to the Second American Civil War, everyone is asking: What have you been playing lately?

 

New month, new post! Spill it, peeps. What have you been up to?

 

Hello everybody!

When I initially created this community, there wasn't a place to discuss board games on Lemmy yet. I set up this server on sopuli.xyz because many people were gravitating towards lemmy.ml and I wanted to help counteract that somewhat, even in a minor way.

That said, activity here has been next to non-existent. The community over at [email protected] has surpassed this one in every way. Personally, I'm fine with this, so I have decided to close this community and recommend people join that community instead. At the time being, there isn't a compelling reason for this community to exist as an alternative.

Should this change, I will reopen the community. That said, if anyone else wishes to take over this community, I would be happy to hand it over to them. Until then, goodbye!

 

I've been waiting for a reprint of South African Rails for awhile now. I played it awhile back at a con and had a great time, so it's nice to see it get a wider release alongside some maps.
