I don't know if I've ever seen the reactions to a main Civ game be so divisive, even more so than 5, which kinda makes me interested in playing it and seeing what happened.

Wasn't Giancarlo's character added in during reshoots?

Yeah, I had a good time with Four Last Things too. Haven't played the sequels yet

Really curious to see how it turns out!

oops, almost forgot about this. Good thing I remembered near the end of the first week

What do you like to read? I got back into reading a lot last year and novellas and audio books were what made that transition easier. I am currently reading a lot of Sci-fi and fantasy lately so I've been into the Murderbot series and novellas by Nghi Vo.

I will also take the Idle Thumbs Forums challenge

I'm too much of a coward and not active in either or else I'd post in both the Idle Thumbs slack and Nick Breckon discord that Well Actually, people should post here too

I might have to rewatch the show now to celebrate Lynch's life.

I'm looking forward to it. I know it looks like it will just be an upgraded model but the possible mouse functionality could be fun

I was the last one to post here but it's been over two years so I think it's ok for me to post again. Die for the Economy By: Tea Monster Games Available: $7.99 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3266590/Die_for_the_Economy/) Synopsis: Arcade game inspired by the 80s classic Berzerk. You make your way through an office blasting robots and servers and then must escape.

I'm still pretty early on because I stay on each game too long so I'm not ready to call any favorites but I agree, it's great! It was a really good year for games anthologies. This page listed a few that came out last year https://www.pressplaygaming.net/articles/2024/12/10/ppg-game-of-the-year-2024-57-antholo-geeze-this-is-a-great-collection-of-anthologies

I just wanted to say that the ending of Return to Monkey Island is Good, Actualy

I never actually posted on the Mojo forums (just AdventureGamers) what if....this is the year I register? But yes, there's a lot I'm kind of tired of with social media. I happily ditched Twitter when it got sold and I'm fine with Mastodon for communicating with the mutuals that only post there, but I don't see that getting any bigger and Bluesky is already bumping into the issues that Twitter was having from growing. I think the character limits and having to refresh the feed are frustrating too. I got really into RSS last year and that's actually been really fun.

Oh wow, I didn't realize you used to post here. I'm a bit late but I just wanted to say that this whole collection is incredible, one of the best games of last year, and thank you for making it!

It's time for the Idle Thumbs forums to be active again

Memphis, Bubbleland By: Sand Gardeners Available: Free/Pay-What-You-Want (https://sandgardeners.itch.io/memphis) Synopsis: This is an online multiplayer narrative game about tomb raiding, retail executives and monuments. You can only access the game at specific times scheduled by the developers. When a scheduled time comes up, you grab a seat on the bus and go on a 20 minute tour.

I really like MI3 too! For what it's worth, Ron said it's still canon on Twitter, which is surprising to me because he previously said if he got to make another game he would ignore the ones he didn't work on. I don't know what this means for Escape and Tales or if this was a thing pushed by Disney but there you go.

I appreciate that the Idle Thumbs instance is still going. I know it's not the most active thing but Mastodon is far more pleasant for me to use than Twitter

He even said he was going to announce it on April Fool's Day!

Wishlisted! This looks pretty great. Happy to see those two guys again

Really good interview. Clint seems like he would be difficult to work for though.

Those lava effects!

I'm a bit less excited for this than I was a couple of months ago after how crappy they've been on social media and seeming like they have no idea that non-binary people exist. Maybe they can turn it around in the next year or two before the game comes out.

Could I have an invite? I'm mpklamerus {a} gmail dot com
