In trms of the vibe that the title gives off, I guess. First category is a fairly serious-sounding, usually 1 word title, and the second category seems to be a grab-bag of silly titles and titles where the first word is “______'s”

To be fair, that’s just the culture that’s come up around the game. You have to plan how you play if you want to “win” in the first 2 years, but the only thing you get is a few candles lit in your backyard, and you can still “win” in later years if you play more slowly. You absolutely can just plant some stuff around a sprinkler, sleep until they are grown, and do everything you want to do without being at all efficient with it
Sarah and the Safe Word have some absolute bangers
Never thought of it that way! What a dystopian world we live in where intelligent conversation dies because there’s no good way to profit off of it.
Yeah pet licenses should definitely be a thing
Man I’m glad I stopped watching after volume 3 then. I remember thinking that the early seasons weren’t great aside from some action sequences, and that maybe once they got the ball rolling they could do the story more justice. But it needed to get better after V3, not worse lol.
I miss when his videos were just about the records and not the drama surrounding them
Folding Ideas is my favorite channel, but since someone else already recommended that, I’ll also recommend Thomas Flight. He’s a film nerd, but its all really beautifully explained and he also puts a lot of effort into highlighting things that he likes. His video “Why do Movies Feel So Different Now” was really enlightening.
Looks like a perfectly normal phone picture to me
Started playing minecraft again, wanted something cozy to play during the holidays. I always end up committing to a really big build and then lose interest halfway through, so we’ll see how it goes
I finished Chants of Sennaar a couple nights ago, it was a lot of fun. Language-based puzzle game inspired by the Tower of Babel. It’s very pretty to look at, and a lot of the puzzles were really clever. My only real complaint is that I was really expecting the final level to be much more difficult, requiring me to do a lot of synthesizing of ideas from previous levels, but instead the final puzzles were pretty easy and linear. I’d still recommend it though, the first 80% of the game is great, and if you get that far, you’ll probably have the momentum to finish, the end doesn’t take that long.
Also a fan of Unbound! My last run I tried whatever setting it is that makes it so that all fully evolved pokemon have the same stat totals, which really made the game feel different and like I actually had options for building a team. Although I still found myself thinking “oh I can’t put butterfree on my team, it’s too weak”
My favorite hack is Gaia, it doesn’t have as many features as Unbound but it’s got the right vibes for a pokemon game while still having increased difficulty and QOL stuff.
Oh hell yeah, we just finished this year’s rewatch last night
Become a politician, then sell out to a corporation
Ooh, thats sounds right up my alley. Used to love civilization and stellaris and those types of games, but war was always my least favorite part of the gameplay. It gets in the way of my perfect empire.
Complicated is fine, it was the whole “things are happening on several different floors in your base and everything is happening in real time, so you have to constantly pause to handle everything”
Very excited for adventure mode. The colony builder was overwhelming to me, but I want to support the game, so I feel like a single-character adventure would be perfect
Doesn’t surprise me that he didn’t like it. It lampshades how the themes of the original game are not actually as profound as he says they are, while also being way more fun than the majority of the original
I’m fresh out of grad school, and the shift from 22k to 60k has been life changing
Fuck yeah bro. I’m about to break my social media addiction with an even more powerful addiction
