Hi everyone.

It has been a while since last community update, as the old moderation team mostly vanished, and I was for a while the only moderator still active. A lot happened since then, and it is time to get the community back running at optimal pace.

New moderators

First, I'd like to welcome two new (temporary) moderator, that will help me moderating while we reform the community and examine permanent moderator applications.

  • u/JonsJava : You may already know him as the moderator of !gaming@lemmy.world, a video game focused community
  • u/fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com (and its moderation alt, فكسومت مدمر العوالم, aka u/modfxomt)

If you wish to help moderate this community, feel free to PM me in order to candidate to be a moderator for this community.

Sidebar rewrite

I took some time to rewrite the sidebar to better reflect the community evolution.

I added two new section:

  1. "Authorized Regular Threads", which are allowed to be post on a regular basis as long as they respect the rules
  2. "Related communities", which contains links to other games related communities. Feel free to PM me to add more of them

I also added links to a git repo to each rule, which point to the current ruleset. Currently all of them points to the same root anchor, but in the near future, every rule will point to their specific section. This will allow to give a lot more detail, as well as examples, without polluting the sidebar.

Community contribution

As a community, I'd like to encourage users to participate in the community. We are not meant to be monolithic, like Reddit was, and we'd like to offer the community the way to better itself, according to its own rules, not some corporate greedy interest.

As such, I'd like to offer you all way to make it your own, with a more democratic approach to moderation. In the following weeks, I'll post multiple topics about it, from which we will collectively amend our rules to better fit its collectively defined purpose.

This will be done in multiple steps :

  1. First, we will open a discutions on current rules, in which we will be able to discuss about them, suggest improvements, and maybe create new rules
  2. The rules will be then internally rewritten in order to respect the community wish while still following LW rules
  3. The new rules will be individually put to vote. If the total is positive, the rule is adopted, if not, the rule will be bought back in a new discussions/amendment topic, until it reach consensus

Best regards,

u/Dremor

Edit 1 : I continued my work on the sidebar, feel free to give me your feedback on it.

Today's game is some more Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition. I was waiting on something to download from Steam and just kind of... chilled. It started raining while i did that, and the Game's Soundtrack started playing. It was a nice experience, i wish i got a screenshot of it.

Of course, i didnt want to spend all my time just standing there, because that's not really playing the game at that point. So i started doing tasks around my base that needed done, such as harvesting crops and keeping an eye out for Endermen so i could go to the end.

I took a trip over to the local village to steal (and replant) some of their crops too. I stopped to see if they had any good trades but couldn't find any. On the way back i passed by the Ravine in the middle of the usual route there and back and stopped to catch some animals. The ravine seems to act like a natural trap for them for some reason so i usually have good chances of getting it there.

I went home and watched the rain some more as night fell and i cooked my potatoes. After a bit though i went to bed after remembering my first night in the Treehouse of being killed by a spider. I went to sleep and ended the day at that.

Got Tachyon: The Fringe from GOG recently. I loved this game when I was a kid, and you know what? The game is still lots of fun! The graphics are still alright and it ran out of the box on Linux. My X52 even works with it!

I miss this era of short but sweet games.

I had a chance to play this at a local convention and played with the game designer. It is a pretty fun game. It is legacy, so you need to get through the story to play with all the cards. As it says in the FAQ, all the cards are numbered, so a reset is possible, or playing with different people.

I am not getting anything out of this (except a better chance it will get fully funded, which means a better chance I will actually get the game), but as I said, I have played it and would like to again.

Synduality Echoes of Ada. Avoiding people as much as I can. Decided to buy it on sale due to the devs saying a Co-op only zone was coming this season.

Today's game is a game called PEAK. My friend that i usually play games with gifted it to me after seeing it online somewhere. From what i can tell it's made by the same studio that made Clustertruck (that game about platforming on moving trucks). It's like a weird combination of climbing games and survival games. You have to climb to the peak of each mountain after crashing on an island.

Honestly though, me and my friend spent way too long just dicking around in the lobby. I have a clip that i've been sharing with friends of him just ragdolling off the top of a structure in the lobby like some Garry's Mod Ragdoll.

Once we actually got to the island though (after seeing how far we can exploit the climbing mechanic), it got a lot more difficult. The game's VC is proximity chat, but it has an echo to make everything carry. On top of that the landscape got wacky at some points.

We kind of quickly dug our own downfall though after my friend, while trying to make his way over to me too follow me up, landed on a Jellyfish and slid all the way down to the bottom of the mountain. He took a ton of damage, which in this game hurts your ability to climb. Luckily we were able too make it to the next section of the game.

Due to his injury though, he had landed right on a flower that explodes into some weird neurotoxin cloud and put me to sleep. Causing me to fall all the way down. If you take too long on a section the game throws fog at you which causes you to take damage like some weird battle royal ring. It slowly circles up so you have to hurry. When i fell i fell right into the fog and died there. My friend, too injured and stuck without me to help him up, decided to just throw himself into the fog.

We stopped our run after messing around in the lobby again for a while and having maybe just a little too much fun with the games emote system and physics. It's fun to see the character's models get shoved around by others. We spent maybe a little too long ragdolling off the top of things too (again).

I'm back after a pretty long break! You might remember my oil rig from a few months ago.

The factory turns 1800 iron ore, 750 limestone and 1000m3 of water into 20 heavy modular frames every minute.

The long building is 50 iron refineries, and the tower is most of the rest.

anyways, here are some more photos of the outside:

The refinery building is pretty funky as you can see:

There is also a battery storage unit, an antenna and some concrete refinieries:

Here are some photos of the inside of the main building:

I am especially proud of the load balancers in the back that turn the various amounts of iron on each conveyor into 6 full ones and one partway full one.

While the materials are acquired on-site, this site is still connected to the rail network I showed in the last post.

Anyways, I learned quite a bit from this project, especially that I should plan interior decor ahead of time, instead of winging it.

Here is the map of my world, the pictured factory is at the top:

Tell me what you think!

Dune game (lemmy.world)

Loving the new Dune game so far. Impressed by the graphics and details 😊 Highly recommend if you like the Dune story. Hope they manage to tweak close combat though, it could be better.
