I game much more and buy more games because of my deck.
Also, whoever was on here chatting up rimworld as a fun simulator game...
Fuck you. That was my winter break. I had planned on doing things.
Lmao. It’s okay, I lost my winter break to Power Washer Simulator. 60+ hours and still going.
I can stop anytime I want, I swear.
As someone who never played it, how do you power wash for 60 hours?
It’s like zen reverse coloring. You can also upgrade your equipment to be more powerful and there’s soaps you can buy with the in-game money you get from completing jobs.
They have a demo 👀
Wait until you try the expansions. Biotech alone completely transforms how you play in a horrifically addicting way.
(enters steam store)
Also, does this thing like, never go on sale?
Very rarely. Originally Ludeon said they'd never offer discounts, same as the Factorio devs, but they eventually changed their minds. Sales still only happen once in a blue moon and are barely worth the wait. The highest Rimworld has ever been discounted is 20% off the base game and 10-15% off the various DLCs.
It's so worth it at full price. The DLCs add so much that I can't even imagine playing without them at this point.
Biotech literally adds genetics, and Ideology adds religions. All procedurally generated and modifiable
Does cocaine?
Just the first time.
Once you start you can’t stop my several hundred hours of war crimes on Rimworld can attest to that
When you get bored of rimworld in a few thousand hours and are ready for something similar with a larger scope ceiling, try songs of syx.
Song of syx is much smaller then rimworld. So much of the game is fake hand waving to make it feel bigger.
The ai not having to follow like any of the rules the player does and so much of the world being a fake sim hurts it massively.
Yeah, it's a cool game, but no way it's larger in scope than Rimworld
i feel you, but you obviously haven't had a colony with 400+ civilians and no lag. Rimworld can't do that. Songs of Syx can.
It's apples and oranges
They're different games, focused on different things. Taht's why I said Scope Cieling, not just scope.
but I like knowing the colonists!
that's fair
Oh then you should just play Oxygen Not Included, a much more relaxed and simple colony sim
You probably shouldn't look into kenshi then, just FYI.
