Single-Use Games - the board game hobby's throw-away attitude in c/boardgames@sopuli.xyz
[โ€“] Profilename1@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I'm big on the cult of the old. I'd rather play one game ten times than ten games one time, and I think that if a game can't hold up to at least five plays it isn't worth owning. Of course, if other people want to spend their money on that kind of stuff, it's fine, but I like to keep my collection small and replayable. In my opinion, the best board games get better with repeated plays because that's when you can really get into the strategy.

Side note, but I also really hate the idea of legacy games where you just have to throw the thing out once you're done.

Am I going insane? Wasn't Create originally a Fabric mod? in c/moddedminecraft@sopuli.xyz
[โ€“] Profilename1@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

New Mandela effect just dropped.

No, I always remember it being a forge mod, since the 1.15 days at least. Not sure what to tell you. Maybe they discussed Fabric but went with Forge in the early stages? Maybe you're thinking of being frustrated with it not being a Fabric mod and having to install Forge? Maybe you're thinking of another mod entirely?

What game company from your childhood do you remember with fondness? in c/gaming@beehaw.org

PopTop. Railroad Tycoon 2&3 and Tropico 1&2. They got bought by 2K, which eventually killed the studio. The Railroad Tycoon series is dead. Tropico is still around, but I'm not excited about the latest interation. Some of the guys tried to kickstart a new Railroad Tycoon but it didn't fund. Phil Steinmeyer was an underrated developer, though I believe he's retired today.

It's too bad it worked out that way. I think they could have been on the level with Paradox as far as strategy games are concerned, but focusing more on economic games, city builders, and the like. On Steinmeyer's blog he said he didn't think there was demand for heavier games anymore about mid 00s. That might have been true then, but so many games out now prove that wrong.

It's like that meme where it's the guy saying he just needs that one piece, and the piece is labeled "a billion dollars"

To experienced players: are BGG categories good? in c/boardgames@feddit.de
[โ€“] Profilename1@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, mechanism is a lot more objective way to classify board games. We can argue all day about, say, what exactly a wargame is, but what games have hex grids, area control, and resource managements is a lot easier to agree on.

Are there still any solid, updated minecraft modpacks around? in c/gaming@beehaw.org
[โ€“] Profilename1@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah, modded Minecraft is still a big deal. You can join us over at !moddedminecraft@sopuli.xyz if you want. The mod Create is a big deal right now, and rightfully so. It may well be the greatest of all time, as far as Minecraft mods go.

Patbox's Brewery (www.curseforge.com)
 

This mod caught my eye. It's similar to a plugin that was on a server I used to play on. Nice to see it as a proper mod instead of a plugin. It's pretty configurable and could be a good addition to the right modpack.

It's an authorized port, and it looks like most of the cart stuff has made it over.

August 2023: Announcement (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hello everybody!

When I initially created this community, there wasn't a place to discuss board games on Lemmy yet. I set up this server on sopuli.xyz because many people were gravitating towards lemmy.ml and I wanted to help counteract that somewhat, even in a minor way.

That said, activity here has been next to non-existent. The community over at boardgames@feddit.de has surpassed this one in every way. Personally, I'm fine with this, so I have decided to close this community and recommend people join that community instead. At the time being, there isn't a compelling reason for this community to exist as an alternative.

Should this change, I will reopen the community. That said, if anyone else wishes to take over this community, I would be happy to hand it over to them. Until then, goodbye!

Iron Rail 4 Kickstarter is up. (www.kickstarter.com)
 

I've been waiting for a reprint of South African Rails for awhile now. I played it awhile back at a con and had a great time, so it's nice to see it get a wider release alongside some maps.

Ska Recommendations (youtu.be)
 

Recently I listened to the Specials self-titled 1979 album and really enjoyed it. I've been wanting to try out some Ska music for awhile now because it's a genre I don't know a whole lot about. What recommendations do you guys have as far as Ska music?

Forge has been forked (sopuli.xyz)
 

Meet the new forge, same as the old forge. Forge has been forked, with the majority of forge's developers moving over to the fork, NeoForge. They hope to implement some major improvements come 1.21 and maintain compatibility with Forge mods on 1.20.
