I managed to download a free copy on the xbox. My son drives around the tractors. It's surprisingly detailed for a farming game. I set up some fields and shit so we just load it up and he harvests the crops and puts it in the silos and then drives around and sometimes he'll want to seed it again. The kid loves tractors and stuff. He always watches them the whole time in the fall when they harvest the fields, he has a bunch of john deere toys too, ect

This would have been my dream game as a child, as the coolest things in the world were tractors and dinosaurs. Now they just need a dinosaur farming game..

I also remember the old flight simulator from the 90s. My grandfather used to play it and the flight combat games as well. It's really sad for me to think that that's all in the past now,.my grandfather is dead even.. life is short. It goes by so quickly. There are kids around now who don't know that we used to have our phones on the wall.

Check out the new Jurassic Park game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/648350/Jurassic_World_Evolution/

It's a sort of remake of the classic JP Operation Genesis which was basically a dino tycoon game where you open a theme park. The original is really old though, been meaning to check out the new one but wanted to wait and see how it turns out.

I actually played the heck out of that lol

Yeah same here, really fun game back in the day. I hope the remake turns out alright, so far it has very mixed reviews and doesn't seem worth the price. But they will no doubt update it a bit at least to fix bugs, and mods could be really cool.

Dude 1.0 is amazing.  It is soooooooooooooooo much better.  The leaps it made from b18 to 1.0b are bigger then multiple versions before.  You should try it without mods first, because a ton of mods got built in, then you can slowly add them back in for the things that are missing or you want.  A lot of mods are being updated for the 1.0b also.  Tynan added in a framework support so every time he does a new build it the mod makers can update without rewriting or breaking stuff.

I get it though if you have a current game running you're really enjoying, but I highly recommend checking it out.  If you post on the official forums Tynan actually participates, takes suggestions, and does fixes damn near on the fly when they are talked about.  I had some issues with tribal starts with the research stuff, wrote a post about it, and he adjusted the balance the next day.

I hope he keeps updating it for awhile even after it finally leaves early access. It has already come such a long ways but seems like a game worth focusing on for a few more years perhaps. Based on the steam review count Tynan must have made at least 100k or so already which seems great for an indie game.

You never know with early access games but Tynan has done a great job. Haven't checked the forums much myself but the Rimworld subreddit is pretty solid, they have weekly suggestion threads as well as tons of funny comics and people sharing stories/pics from the game.

I am kind of excited for Rimworld to leave early access though as it may encourage more modders

There should be a Drug Trip simulator game that masterfully captures the various perceptual qualities of particular substance classes. Entheogens causing a greater propensity for Spiritualized visions, dissociatives giving environments a very 'cel-shaded' characteristic or a more Playstation 1 Crash Bandicoot-esque appearance texture, with various combinations being computed to cause interesting visual renderings.

There would be a myriad cascade of effects to program. It could serve as a more hands-on informative type of research, like an interactive Erowid. Doing Drugs before doing Drugs, the virtual reference point serving to inform subsequent reality adventuring.

One of your mods allowing you to put those traps right next to each other?  In vanilla b19(1.0) you can't place em that way anymore.

Rimworld is the seckz though.  It's an amazing game.  I still prefer it vanilla though.  Probably after 1.0 goes stable release and I start to get bored I'll mess with mods.  I prefer doing whacky scenarios.  Going to do a tribe only (no research) caravan run soon and try to make it to the ship and escape with mandatory base moves every 1 or 2 years (undecided).

On Rough or harder.

Not my pic just one of the biggest raid pics I could find.

Never used the traps much myself, I tend to add a bunch of turret mods and make a huge fortress

You should really check out some of the mods! Even just a few at a time to enhance the vanilla experience, like the star wars or cult mods. Hospitality is also cool, lets you recruit guests/visitors and adds a hospitality feature where guests rate you based on your accommodations, and if they enjoy the stay they leave behind gifts and will come back sooner. If they have a bad time they won't come back at all. Can be a bit OP though if you have high social as you can recruit people much faster then normal.

hahahah wtf.  I was not expecting that to be a thing.

I just started a new naked brutality run as a tribe.  Dev tree has officially moved to 1.0 now.  Final should be coming soon.  For anyone thinking about getting it this is your last chance before paying full price.  Its 30 bucks on steam for "early access" but once it goes final it will probably be 50ish.

That's cool Tynan put out a warning about the price change: Early access price and final price

Very considerate of him, now is definitely the time to buy it. Though the 1.0 release may still be awhile away, or it could come pretty soon.

Anyways yeah dinos are pretty funny, never tried them before but especially combined with the genetics mod it seems like a really awesome way to enhance the animals aspect of Rimworld. Especially now that mounts are a thing, imagine riding around a big ass Dinosaur Elephant hybrid into battle

Side note, I'd totally pay 50-60$+ for Rimworld, especially after another big update. Easily hundreds if not thousands of hours of gameplay if you get into it, pretty much endless replay value with mods.

It already is so much more worth the price then a lot of hyped AAA releases, which give maybe a few dozen hours of play time in many cases.
