Our Lord Ditto died for your sins so that His prophet, this regular ordinary human child, could rebuild a society for Our Blessed Trainers to return to.

    Me and my wife started Valheim not long ago.

    Other then that FF14 dropped a new patch and I’m trying to get the final Cosmic Exploration crafting and gathering main hands before the next planet comes out. Also been doing a lot of gpose prompts. (In game pictures)

          It’s fine, we have other options, it’s just i thought valheim was kinda fun but don’t wanna play it alone

          If y’all like games like that, I only played a bit of a pirated copy but theres a early access game called Windrose that basically felt like “valheim but you’re pirates”

              Np, impressions from my pirated copy are: it’s a little janky, looks pretty, valheim has more impressive water physics (but i didn’t really get to getting a ship so maybe open ocean storms look good), and also it’s really fucking hard. I died like 15 times to pigs, quit, started up again, then i got to the first quest to rescue your npc crewmates and i had to fight 4 human npcs and it’s like

              Im good at games but i’m not good at soulslike dodge parry if you fuck up and get hit twice you’re dead shit. Maybe if i played it a lot id get good but the process of getting good does nothing to drive the dopamine treadmill i need videogames to power

              That’d have been easier with a friend though, or if i saved my bullets (you start with a few and can make more, but you need gunpowder too and i couldn’t find sulfur)

              It seems like they have base npcs and production stuff like that though which i also find cool (if valheim had that itd be something to do, building an actual village)

          Yeah i tried to be like “i’ll be a lumberjack and just bring you stuff” but she still gets bored. It doesn’t help that resource collection in valheim is realllllllly slow especially if you’re building anything big

          We’re probably going to do a second playthrough of Abiotic Factor sometime this summer though when they release their DLC. We both had a lot of fun with that, having a plot quest to progress through helped keep her attention

            It’s honestly me who is the difficult one to play games with. If I’m forced to play at the pace of a storyline or follow a quest before i can do anything freeform I’m so annoying trying to skip cutscenes and such

          Lol that’s exactly how we are. I don’t hate building bases but she loves doing the little finicky stuff to make it really awesome. I tend to be too practical for my own good at times.

          It makes a very good team though. I love supporting her creative vision.

            It’s honestly hard to find games to play together because I’m a big nerd who wants to rush to get the best gear before having any fun and in most games that means i have to basically leave my wife behind which isn’t fun for either of us.

            These games i can be survival she can be crafting.

            i gathered a bunch of thistles and mushrooms and honey and meats so we can optimize our food buffs

            solidarity

            i built a beautiful and functional kitchen and workshop with a central storage. You better have brought a lot of fine wood too!
