I went to Sweden several years back in the summer and went to a place asking for these and they laughed in our faces. Then they called their co-workers from the back and told them to come out here and see the people asking for semlor. Then they all collectively laughed and explained that it’s seasonal.

You can do this during fights. The question is who will control the party when just walking around and talking to NPCs or exploring the world. Who will make the story changing decisions?

Also things like leveling up your character, or changing equipment may be more painful depending on everyone’s patience. Being in a multiplayer campaign is already quite the commitment but having to wait for your turn at the controller to change equipment or spells might make it unenjoyable.

Holidays

[email protected] on Peertube covers indie games. They made a video of indie gems over the summer sale and the ones I tried were great.

I bought it too! Sick soundtrack! Blood Cultures!!!

I really enjoyed The Witching Hour by Loeb and Bachalo. I guess it’s been 20 years or so now. I’ll have to go dig up my copy as it’s due for a reread.

I’m there with you, but will probably end up watching here and there. I’d like to see Jalen Green succeed in PHX. Who’s your team?

Yes I think it would be frustrating if you are playing with random people. Learning is part of the gameplay so experienced players will have to teach / direct new players. For example, my group died multiple times when we had to deal with radiation just because we didn’t know what to do with irradiated material.

On mic is absolutely a requirement as coordination is a major emphasis. Granted the game is still in active development. But from what I’ve heard, the new features will require even more teamwork and coordination.

I.e. you can have fire on one side of the ship and radiation on the other, whilst in the middle of a dogfight. These elements are scaled to the size of your party and difficulty level though. If you play solo, you have an onboard bot that helps and you don’t have to juggle as much.

Thanks for the correction

There’s a new game in early access called “Jump Space” that has been pretty fun so far. You can play it solo is more fun with others. As you work as a crew with roles such as pilot, gunner, engineering etc. It is published by EA though, so fair warning.
