In the same exact boat as you. We have Mediacom or one DSL. They gave me a really good deal for the first year on my 1gig, but after that it’s going to be about $140 a month. To make matters worse too, the wiring in my apartment building is REALLY old, so the service cuts out randomly sometimes (All tenants in the building are on splitters sharing one cable with the apartment across the hall.) And of course the landlord said that Mediacom was trying to trick me into spending more money and he would absolutely not run new cable. Internet in rural areas of the US is a total shit show. My connection is somewhat stable now, but I can’t wait for something else to come to my area.
And yes I looked into Starlink, my building has a strict NO PUTTING UP ANTENNA policy.
And yes I looked into Mobile Carrier Routers and the fastest I can get is 50mb download with a data cap.
I feel your problem on a spiritual level.

BattleBit has taken up a lot of my playtime this year as well. So refreshing to have games like this and Baldur’s Gate that tell the “new” way of games to fuck off. No micro transactions, no battle passes, no loot boxes, no dlc, just buy the game and play the game. It’s excellent and I hope more studios see that we support these games and change their ways.
Gotta love ID and Nightdive for giving us such a faithful remaster for free! The game cleans up shockingly well!
You’re in for a lot of gaming with those. Good luck chief! Skipped straight to 3 myself!
Just got into Risk of Rain 2 after owning it for a few years thanks to a friend suggesting we play it. Such an incredible game, and the music is incredible. (Kinda like Doom Eternal!)
I was curious about this one. Might have to give it a try! Is it pretty jank right now?
Instant classic for sure. I’m just reaching the monastery with my lvl 5 Bard. Still so much to do in the game.
Always a right of passage for the little brothers to get in on some Project Zombie! Have fun dying!

I would highly recommend not buying the Steam version of Cave Story and instead downloading the open source Cave Story NX off of FlatHub and other such repos. Cave Story+ on Steam has been abandoned by the developers and they stopped updating it despite releasing countless better versions on other platforms. Definitely not worth paying for an inferior version, but if you have to play on PC you’re better off playing this updated version of the original.
Really hoping for a new Legends game. Legends Arceus was the first pokemon game I felt the desire to finish in ten years. It was so unique and interesting. It was very very very rough around the edges, but here’s to hoping that the smaller scope could make a game that’s more polished than Scarlet and Violet and maybe a bit prettier too.
Honestly at this point I almost feel like the only way a Pokemon game with decent graphics could release is if Gamefreak outsources the development.

Thanks! It was fun trying to design what the backs and sides of the buildings could look like. I never realized how many windows Oak’s Lab has!!!
Maybe! This was a one off project, but I enjoyed it enough to keep going. I imagine once I make enough of the tilemaps into 3D objects it would be pretty easy to fill out parts of the map. I’m debating if I do continue if I want to go systematically by doing Route 1 next, or if I should just do major areas and not worry about connecting them. Height is also a concern since the original game uses fake height, but in 3D we can use real height.
