As a fan of the outdoors, I'm a little surprised by the lack of (semi-)realistic camping/hiking gear and its use in video games.
Occasionally I'll catch streams of games with some interesting elements (Oh, look at all these cool backpacks in Tarkov! Oh, this tent and gas cooker in Cairn look neat!), but they never seem to a) use it to its full potential, and b) combine it with gameplay and/or narrative I'm actually interested in.
Wow.
The software I've used for making music for years now is a digital audio workstation called REAPER. Not only have I always liked the software itself, I've also had a great deal of respect for the transparency and community-mindedness of its small dev team, and I'm quite active on their user forum, which I check in on multiple times a day.
So I just went to check the website again, and was greeted with a blank page with the below message. And my respect is just going through the roof. 👍
Me: maybe this online game I've been slightly dabbling with has a friendly community I should join. I ought to look into that.
Also me: [too chickens**t to ever say anything in chat or approach people.]
Gotta love those brains, huh.
