So I'm playing Timberborn Experimental Update 5 that adds bad water. (City Builder as intelligent beavers after the hooman's caused catastrophic environmental damage and then wiped themselves out.)

Objectively I think it's an important mechanic because it creates new map challenges and a mix of disasters with competing ways to protect from them.

My biggest complaint is there is no tutorial to walk you through how to prepare for a Badtide and you have to figure it out on your own. I got absolutely walloped by my first one with no protection in place, lost all my crops and trees and by the time I pulled out of the ensuing famine had 11 beavers left to rebuild with. So uh, it's a very effective disaster. I had one water source and managed to dam some of it, and then the Badtide flowed in and contaminated all of.

There's a few things I should have done:

Drained the reservoir of clean water so I could capture the Badwater until the Badtide is over. Let the clean water flush the rest (when it comes) so it gets diluted and quickly flows through three rest of the system. It's now critical to get the floodgates and not just use dams. Badwater can get trapped behind dams and you have to remove them to flush the system.

Research Badwater pumps and fluid dumps to remove the accumulating Badwater, store it in tanks, and use a fluidpump to dump it into a safe channel. This will probably be an all hands on deck thing during a disaster.

Honestly it was pretty demoralizing having my existing skills and methods used against me by this new disaster. But I think that's ultimately going to be good because it turns sure bets into something you really have to manage. If we're talking about an environmental disaster management game, this makes a lot of sense and adds another dimension of realism. It does make the game a lot harder, but once I learn I think I'll be able to manage it okay.

Since the days of Sims City, city builders have got a lot more thoughtful about disasters, how to make them a challenge, and how to help you be resilient about them but not just be basic rebuilds.

The Ultimate Guide to Solo Board Games

In recent years, solo board gaming has quietly emerged from the shadows of its multiplayer counterparts, carving out a distinct and vibrant niche within the board game community. Once considered a pastime for the introverted or those struggling to find a gaming group, solo board gaming has transcended these stereotypes to become a celebrated and integral aspect of the hobby. Whether due to the…

Surviving and being prepared (Path HD)

Pathologic Classic is a game that requires forsight to play well, and for you to use the time given to you to accumulate as much as possible so you can sufficiently survive without having to worry. Here are some tips to get you started, note that there are quests that will give you rewards but they will not be mentioned here.

Warning for very minor spoilers for the first few days.

Utilise the storage that's given to you - Each character is given their own 'home' which will have a storage container with unlimited space for you to store excess items, for the Bachelor it's the cabinet next to his bed, the Haruspex a large chest in his lair, and the Changeling, a cabinet upstairs similar to the Bachelor's in Saburov's house. As the Haruspex especially you will have a lot of excess items, so use the storage liberally, items dropped on the ground will despawn once the day ends, the storage is permanent

Search every bin you come across - Bins are the primary way of finding tradeable items such as needlies, razors, watches, and empty bottles, hoard these items as much as possible, they will be your primary currency for important items. Search previously searched bins after exiting buildings too, something might be there that wasn't before

Try to interact and trade with as many kids and carousers as possible - Kids can have medicine and ammo on them. Ammo can fetch a good price after Day 1 and due to prices soaring you won't be able to afford medicine to boost immunity and curb infection until you've accumulated A LOT of money (see this post for getting money fast). Carousers can have bandages and tourniquets on them for 5 water bottle each which will be your primary health healing items outside of Pain Killers (which increase exhaustion and health on use but restores health during sleep)

Save often, use quicksaves, and don't be afraid to reload - Try and get into the habit of saving frequently and when doing certain things: save before AND after talking to characters (before in case you screw up dialogue), save before entering and before exiting a building (mainly in case of hostiles), and save (or quicksave) before hostile engagements (in case you die). You can have as many regular saves as you like but you only have two quicksave slots (F5 to quicksave, F8 to reload quicksave). If you screw something up don't be afraid to reload as far back as needed, Pathologic takes a long time to play and its good to have multiple saves to fall back on. Bear in mind that having a lot of saves might slow down your game slightly, if you've gotten far and don't think you'll need your earlier saves you can delete them in-game or from the game files

Focus on maintaining stats rather than trying to reduce them completely - Outside of health and reputation you have four stat bars: hunger, immunity, exhaustion, and infection. Hunger and exhaustion constantly increase over time and are curbed with food and sleep/lemons, respectively. Immunity will always fill/reduce to half over time if it's been changed, and if you get infected, you will slowly become more infected at a speed relative to your immunity (higher immunity slower infection increase). When hunger and/or exhaustion are maxed out you, and when you are infected AT ALL, your health will begin to slowly drain. Food becomes scarce and it can be hard to sleep enough some days so your focus should be preventing the bars from maxing out rather than trying to reduce them completely. As for infection, ideally you should try not to get infected but this isn't always possible, so you should try and curb the infection down whenever possible using pills (or gruel as the haruspex). Some days all you can try to do is live by healing yourself constantly as it reduces due to your other stats, as long as you don't die from stats maxing out you're doing well

If possible for that day try and complete the main quest before anything else - Every day you will have a new main quest as indicated in your journal (Q) that will always start with you receiving a letter (L) from a certain character asking you to see them. If there are no time constraints you should focus on that quest first, or try to do multiple things that are in the same place at the same time for efficiency. You won't be able to do every quest, but completing the main quest will ensure that none of your Bound become ill so you can get the ending for that character. A quest will be complete when the last entry starts with **

I will probably edit this post if I think of anything else and others are free to add (no spoiler heavy stuff tho). If you've tried playing the game a few times and got stuck because you felt you were missing something see this post for things the game doesn't tell you. Once you understand how the game works the game is actually a lot easier than you think it is, the problem then comes with overcoming the time barrier as it can take a LONG time to play, if you want the game to feel faster or want to change the speed of the in-game clock then see this post for a mod that does so

Gaming

Gaming has been a significant part of my life since I first picked up a controller back in 1995 playing in those arcades. It’s not just a hobby; it’s a passion that has grown and evolved over the years. From card games like Yu-Gi-Oh to board games like Monopoly and Chess, and all the way to video gaming on platforms like Xbox and Nintendo, my journey through the world of gaming has been diverse and exhilarating.

I have fond memories of sitting around the table with friends, playing card games. Yu-Gi-Oh was a particular favourite of mine, not just for the strategy involved but also for the vibrant stories and characters. There’s something incredibly satisfying about building a deck and outsmarting your opponent, whether it's through cunning tactics or sheer luck. Those moments taught me valuable lessons in strategy, critical thinking, and friendly competition.

Then there are board games—classics like Monopoly and Chess. Monopoly brings out a mix of excitement and rivalry as you try to amass wealth and properties, while Chess is a battle of wits and foresight. Each game offers a unique experience that brings people together, encouraging laughter, tension, and sometimes heated discussions. The social aspect of gaming is something I treasure, as it builds connections and memories with family and friends.

When it comes to video games, my passion really exploded. Xbox and Nintendo have been my gateways to fantastic worlds and immersive storytelling. Whether I’m exploring vast open worlds, solving intricate puzzles, or engaging in competitive multiplayer matches, the excitement of gaming never fades. Titles that have come and gone over the years have left their mark on me, influencing my interests and sparking my imagination.

One of the reasons I believe gaming has such a lasting impact is its ability to transport us to different realms. It encourages creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork, while also providing an escape from reality. Each game presents new challenges and experiences that keep me coming back for more. I often think about how much I’ve learned through gaming—from strategic planning in complex scenarios to collaborating with friends online.

The phrase “GAMER4LIFE” resonates deeply with me. I know my journey in gaming is far from over. Whether I’m reliving nostalgic moments from the past or diving into new adventures, I embrace every opportunity to play. Gaming isn’t just a pastime; it’s a lifelong passion that continues to shape my experiences and friendships.

As I reflect on my journey, I’m excited about what the future holds. There are always new games to discover, stories to experience, and challenges to conquer. Here’s to many more years of gaming, connections, and adventures!

I love it when farm animals in strategy games have their own little pockets of visibility in the fog of war, because the fog of war is ostensibly a visual abstraction of military intelligence-gathering, which implies that the goat is submitting intel reports.

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

"You can't change people's minds" where does the change in social change come from then? Spare coins?

Not everyone is up to debate and convince people otherwise but that's why activism is a skill worth learning. Just because you couldn't do it doesn't make it impossible.

"I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been."

Wayne Douglas Gretzky CC is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player and former head coach. He played 20 seasons in the National Hockey League for four teams from 1979 to 1999.

Born: 26 January 1961 (age 62 years), Brantford, Canada.

Office Attendance: Wayne Gretzky never recorded a single absence due to injury throughout his high school hockey career. This impressive durability became a hallmark of his professional career as well.

Strategic Point System: Gretzky's point-scoring ability is legendary, but what's less known is that if he never scored a goal in his career, he would still be the all-time leading scorer in NHL history based on assists alone. This underscores his incredible playmaking skills.

Youngest NHL Captain: At the age of 22, Gretzky became the youngest captain in NHL history when he was appointed captain of the Edmonton Oilers in 1983. His leadership qualities and strategic mindset were evident even at a young age.

Trade Shakeup: Despite his incredible success with the Edmonton Oilers, Gretzky was traded to the Los Angeles Kings in 1988 in a move that shocked the hockey world. This trade had not only a significant impact on Gretzky's career but also changed the dynamics of the NHL and popularized hockey in the United States.

Olympic Involvement: Gretzky was not only a dominant force in professional hockey but also played a key role in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. He served as the executive director of the Canadian men's hockey team, leading them to a gold medal and solidifying his influence on the sport beyond his playing days.
