It's finally here. Woo! We should get a game thread going later. How's everyone going to watch the game? Double checked last night the antenna is getting NBC just fine.
Did some Googling and found this article: homebrew academy
Reading it it might make sense to kill off the yeast before trying to boil off the alcohol. Maybe use a still so all of the water vapor is captured and flavor retained?
Family was in town and we taught them Cat in the Box and Terraforming Mars. Both were a big hit with an edge to Cat because of the decreased complexity. Haven't played much of TM at 4, usually at 2, and the strategy changes quite a bit!
As of the other day the series was on sale at GOG. ~$30 for 0 though 6.
New to the series and started with 0 and been enjoying it.
Haven't played but from another thread I saw about that game awhile ago was to try and play co-op to start. Was told it can be very difficult initially playing solo.
World of Tanks is similar too. A little faster paced perhaps but doing the right thing in the right place is a 1000% more important than reflexes imo. Never played in clans and it might be different at that level.
Stonemeier always has excellent production values.
I didn't do the whole game in one sitting but I was glued to my chair for hours when I started Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Remember looking at them time on my phone and going, "huh, it's after midnight". Then again later and finding out it was the beginning of daylight savings time. Went to sleep, woke back up, and played all day again. Fantastic game.
One of my first beers I watched in horror as a fly landed on the wort during boil and get subducted in never to be seen again. Named that beer Insecticide. Turned out pretty good.
Probably the games I come back to the most are Half-life and Portal. Reliably play them once every couple of years. I don't tend to replay games much but those two are always installed and available.
I decided about a year back to work on my steam backlog. Just finished the Titanfall 2 campaign for the first time and it was excellent. Wish there where more games like the sections with the mech combat. Decided to completely change it up and now working on Yakuza 0 which is all over the place and somehow works.
I'll plug the !printsf@lemmy.ca community. Two months in and last months read was Iain Banks Player of Games and this months is Winter World by A.G. Riddle. Usually have a vote thread 6 weeks before the end of the month to pick a new one.
