I feel with you but I think it also brought some benefits. Finding time to meet up with my friends has become harder and harder with everyone growing up, studying, getting jobs.

The influx of people during covid catapulted the virtual tabletop solutions ahead and now we regularly play again using foundry vtt since everyone can just sit at home.

But yeah, online everyone just talks about DnD or Critical Roll it feels like and unless you’re on reddit there’s very few communities left.

The problem is really down to finding places where you can actually build something like a hydroelectric power plant.

You need a large area you can safely flood. (No villages in the area or only villages you can buy out the owners of) or a high up lake.

The area to flood needs to have the geology required to construct a dam safely.

And finally, the area needs to be pretty high up and have an area below you can direct the outgoing water to.

Us Germans are extra thorough. We wish both, breaking neck and leg.

Runescape/Old school runescape

Been playing since 2009. Sure I’ve taken breaks, sometimes multiple years, but I always return.

The old saying is true, “You never quit runescape, you just take breaks”

Melvor Idle is a great call. The base game is a solid idle game and there’s a load of mods too.

I did a HCCO12B (Hardcore combat only, 12 bank slots only) run when the game first released.

Reinstalled the game yesterday and started another HCCO run using the new mod, it adds some QoL and tweaks.

My only negative about it is that when playing normally, I always feel like there’s a perfect/optimal strategy and I should figure it out before playing.

My Harman Kardon pc speakers. They are as old as I am. Here’s a pic of the same model I found online.

Same. At least with Deus Ex I have some hope left. Iirc the studio (Eidos?) was sold by Square Enix and the new owner may have them work on a new Deus Ex.

If you like those kind of games it may also interest you that Dishonored 3 being planned was part of the leaks last week.

DotO is basically a huge DLC for Dishonored 2 and not a main game. It’s still great though and has some fantastic lore. It also released in 2017, so a bit early for a spot on this list.
