Tried any Jack McDevitt? I like both of his main series (Alex Benedict and Priscilla Hutchins ones). Remember enjoying deep six, chindi, and seeker in particular. He has a unique feel which I think I saw someone describe as science fiction archaeology which I think is apt.
I think if we sticky a thread for voting we can get something chosen to discuss by the end of the month. You want me to write it up and post it?
It could be that I listened to them on audiobook but I kinda pictured an Arnold/Terminator kinda person.
That’s what I’ve done at !printsf@lemmy.ca but to be honest theur hasn’t been a lot of engagement. Would be happy to run the one here if you’d like.
I’ll plug the !printsf@lemmy.ca community. Two months in and last months read was Iain Banks Player of Games and this months is Winter World by A.G. Riddle. Usually have a vote thread 6 weeks before the end of the month to pick a new one.
Maybe do a series of horror movie watch parties for October instead?
But battling the small community issue in printSF and Detroit Lions. Makes me miss Reddit.
It’s not too late to start the drinking game. Soooo good.
As of the other day the series was on sale at GOG. ~$30 for 0 though 6.
New to the series and started with 0 and been enjoying it.
Haven’t played but from another thread I saw about that game awhile ago was to try and play co-op to start. Was told it can be very difficult initially playing solo.
World of Tanks is similar too. A little faster paced perhaps but doing the right thing in the right place is a 1000% more important than reflexes imo. Never played in clans and it might be different at that level.
The in-laws heard about it from the Today show and begged to play it. Ended after the first round and howls of “The Today show lied”. It was not a pleasant evening but that was only a part of it.
Stonemeier always has excellent production values.
I’ve had a similar issue trying to get to !printsf@lemmy.ml in jerboa. Haven’t tried online.
I didn’t do the whole game in one sitting but I was glued to my chair for hours when I started Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Remember looking at them time on my phone and going, “huh, it’s after midnight”. Then again later and finding out it was the beginning of daylight savings time. Went to sleep, woke back up, and played all day again. Fantastic game.
That’s a good point. EGG is basically guaranteed to have it available for the foreseeable future.
Did you play season 2 or 0? We loved season 1 but didn’t like the others. Felt that season 2 changed to much by inverting the core game and season 0 introduced to many concepts. A little over halfway through season 0 we stopped because we’d rather play a game we knew than learn yet another set of rules for that months objectives.
Probably the games I come back to the most are Half-life and Portal. Reliably play them once every couple of years. I don’t tend to replay games much but those two are always installed and available.
I decided about a year back to work on my steam backlog. Just finished the Titanfall 2 campaign for the first time and it was excellent. Wish there where more games like the sections with the mech combat. Decided to completely change it up and now working on Yakuza 0 which is all over the place and somehow works.
Very fair. Good luck finding a new book
