@DrCrypt I remember Hyperion being more profound - but I was a lot younger when I read it.
@schoos76 Well I wasn't there for 1980, but it still feels kind of familiar.
I think the big thing is probably just that the world changed more from 42-80 than 80-now. In 42 there was a giant world war with millions dying.
@DrCrypt Only partway through. It's compelling but not amazingly deep or thought-provoking (yet).
Reading Dan Simmons' "Carrion Comfort". The book's main part is set in "the present" of 1980, with historical sections set in 1942.
I just realized that 1942 is actually closer to 1980 than we are now. And yet it doesn't feel that way. Time runs.
@direGoldfish @cliffski @danctheduck True, but you don't have to choose randomly. Focus on learning from people who have succeeded at relevant work, ignore those who haven't.
I guess it does require slightly more effort to filter this way. Maybe we need 'steam curators for game dev videos'.
Great list of games here! And I'm extremely honored that @indiegameweb chose RimWorld as No. 1.
@MetalUndivided I actually wrote it before I read AFUTD! So it's coincidence. I think there's a lot of cross-pollination in hard sf though.
@starplatinum84 @SamsungMobile Doesn't work I'm afraid. "The Bixby key setting isn't available yet. Sign in to Bixby to start using the Bixby key."
It literally forces me to sign up to their crap to be able to turn off their crap. No.
@Rhopunzel M14, good choice.
@starplatinum84 @SamsungMobile Please link me to how I can do this without signing pages of legalese!
@stuckbug So you named the game after a drink, makes sense now!
@overhaze Not without a LOT of work. The whole thing is built on Unity's original immediate-mode GUI framework; we'd have to completely reimplement the entire UI to get off that unfortunately. That's more of a sequel thing than an update thing...
@McMullinRC @KelboEdwards @SamsungMobile Unfortunately there is not a way, not any more. That's the problem. The Bixby key is now permanently an "install bloatware" key.
I can't believe @SamsungMobile is still pushing this obscene Bixby garbage on me.
I had it disabled. Now it updated and it demands that I install it, with pages of legalse agreements, before I can disable it.
I will never buy a Samsung phone again just because of this.
@thatJaneNg Damn. Now I'm really glad I visited a few years ago.
@NerevarRising It's the RimWorld ending song, made just for the game by @AlistairLindsay
@LourenoVieira2 You probably turned it off in the options menu.
Just got to play @ProdeusGame by my old Irrational friend @generalvivi
There's nothing like pure 90's style action fun. This was a great time. They're still running their Kickstarter:
@NotAWiz4rd FTL, SC2, Super Meat Boy, Portal series, Counter-Strike, Factorio, Left 4 Dead series.
I did find Slay the Spire recently, which is awesome.
@SpaceHavenGame Huge congrats on this guys!
Glad to see Kickstarter still works; you earned significantly more than RimWorld did for our opening KS campaign.
