Man... I stopped playing #CDDA (Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead) because I ran into a "bug" where my laptop would constantly repeat keypresses and break everything quite often, only I learned I could shut the lid of my laptop and cause an ACPI interrupt that would stop the keyboard keypresses, and I haven't been back to play it in a long time...
I should really pick things back up with Sherry #24 to explore the world I spawned...
Tanto Cataclysm-DDA y Space Station 14 usan documentos de texto plano para almacenar mapas que pesan ~10mb.. y puede llegar 1 GB en CDDA, si como loco ese dia raideando zombies de ciudad en ciudad...
En serio alguien se va poner a editar 10mb o 1Gb con el notepad.exe? no lo veo practico. No para el runtime, alarga el procesamiento con la CPU de pasar texto humano a las representaciones binarias internas mas agiles, y despues el proceso inverso la serializacion, por que no todo vas a poner en la memoria.
En SS14 hardcodean binarios en base64, ¿que onda? [captura del SS14] Te crees que voy a poder editar el base64?
Y en CDDA usa json para guardar el mapa, el consumo de espacio se les fue de las manos decidieron zipearlo, pasarlo de texto a binario, ¿pero no querias binario? ¿ahora lo zipeas? (igual ya saben que nadie se lee)
Un atentado terrorista contra la eficiencia del CPU. Denis Richie los espera en el infierno y les tira una PDP-7...

Both Cataclysm roguelike games (graphical version) are available on Flathub.
@hobbs finding new games is daunting, I applaud your efforts.
If you want suggestions, I am personally looking forward to getting to play #CDDA / Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead again...
Ran into a bug that I hope is distribution / install-specific and will go away when I move to #Slackware ... so I stopped playing, but I've been having fun with 1 world I created, playing the same character and starting scenario over and over and over, slowly increasing my character's stats, trying to learn the game and survive a bit longer.
If I recall correctly, I am currently on Sherry #23... but it might be #24...
I tried keeping notes and documenting coordinates of known stashes and other valuable locations, but each character seems to start off in the same world with a different coordinate base...
Which is a bummer, because my goal is to find some of the previous Sherrys' dead bodies, and loot them for all the valuable things.
One of my Sherrys found an atomic reading lamp, which I really want to find again, but... ugh... I'm gonna have to learn how to make one, using the parts from atomic coffee makers, because those are the only atomic things I've found with successive Sherrys...
C'est la vie... It's a fun game, and easy to stop and start, because it is turned based... It's a roguelike zombie (and other monsters) survival crafting game.
It's a lot of fun... Especially once you learn how to drive. The first few years I played, I couldn't figure out driving, so I was walking everywhere.
Then I found some videos on YouTube of people playing and I learned a bit more, and kind of have the hang of it now... But it is a steep learning curve.
And it's free, open source.
not enough cdda players out there. ik its VERY niche and hard to get into but. ooooooh you wanna play the free open source super moddable and customizable survival scifi horror game with us and tell us ur stories ooooooooooooo 
Well, I wanted to remind myself how to play Cataclysm DDA after… 5+ years of not playing it? I guess I am kinda rusty in this game after that time 
well, I know that CTLG is not a DDA, but… most people talk about DDA all the time… For a long time I thought it's the only Cataclysm, but just recently found out about the difference, and I love what CTLG is offering.
I had no idea that zombie deers exists now.
Neither I had idea about feral humans.
Well, I guess I am one of them now.

Attendez je ne comprends pas.
CDDA est sur Steam : https://store.steampowered.com/app/2330750/Cataclysm_Dark_Days_Ahead/
Alors c'est quoi, ça ?

The epitome of a modern traditional roguelike: with turn-based play and a RPG-like skill progression system, it hearkens back to some of the major aspects of this genre. This game has an incredible depth, with a deep inventory system, vehicles and boats, NPCs with their own stories, and more.
