World of Warcraft Classic. You start as a no one. Everybody around you seems to know what to do. Your items are shit. You look like a peasant. The silliest enemies force you to rest and are able to kill you.

It‘s challenging but so rewarding. It makes you feel grateful for every single lvlup, item and skill you can get.

Even after spending literal days of your life, there always will be people who are better than you. Everything is said and done. Still this game manages to pull me back in from time to time. It’s so much fun.

 

My children are interested in making their own soap. I bought one basic piece of white soap and I have cocoa powder. I plan to melt and mix them slowly. Am I doing this right?

(I don’t know if their interest holds up, so I don’t want to buy shea butter, oils, tools, colors… and all that stuff, yet. I’m just looking for the easiest way possible.)

I see a pattern of games mentioned here! What do you call games like theme hospital? I’d love to skim a few recommendations for these kind of games that let you hire different employees to run parts of your business.

In Germany some schools offer exactly that in day schoolGanztagsschule.

In theory students get time to do homework in a dedicated hour and the last hours are filled with extracurricular activities.

But often times teachers assign too much homework and there‘s always at least one day when you have maths other sth else in the late afternoon, what‘s hell for everyone involved.

I wouldn‘t send my children there, but there are families who are thankful for this system and children who are capable to live an 8-4 day.

Lord, what have you done

Your suggestions are great, thank you! What’s still missing is a game that let’s you hire people with different skills and watch them do their stuff (Theme Hospital, maybe? There have to be better examples nowadays!)

A close example could be Game Dev Tycoon I played for a while. But unfortunately you really had to micromanage every step.

Cool, thank you so much! DF is on my list but the graphics … 😅

FTL is so insanely good!

 

How do you call these games that let you macro-manage people/creatures/processes and you can watch your engine run?

Examples are Rimworld, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Factorio.

I don’t like fast action-based RTS, micromanaging games, I just love to create a world and watch it running on it‘s own!

Is there a specific name for this mechanic? And what are your favorite examples?

Since the article is paywalled, what‘s the author‘s solution to the so called problem of CRT limiting political debate?
