MMOs / Dune Awakening
Last post by Melbosa - June 28, 2025, 10:53:39 AM
Was talking with @Mr. Analog about this one. A group I play with has a private server going if anyone is interested in playing the game with no griefing. The game is very well made, and other than the private server costs, there isn't a monthly subscription to play like most MMOs.

This is a survival game set in an alternate timeline of dune where Paul Atriedies isn't born and the hosts are both still at full strength. The Freman have been "wiped" out by the emperor, but there is more to the story.

Anyway you can play this game mostly solo and the PvP stuff is optional.

So if you are interested let me know and I can get you the details.

So do we need to grind a mob farm for one when this update drops?

Feel like I need this to play automatically when pressing a button at a chicken auto cooker stand.

Windows 8 because the laptop is ancient, it's a spare that I was happy to get Handbrake working on it. I wouldn't have it Always On, would just be a thing where in the evening instead of surfing YouTube or AppleTV or whatever I decide to start it up to finally watch one of the couple dozen movies that I ripped when I finally got the title from EPL ling waiting list -- but then didn't have time to watch before having to return 🤦�♂️

Angst Technology -- remember that classic web comic[**]? So good. Golden age of the interwebs.


In this recent City Of Heroes video, at 1:29:36 the "InkTank" artist Barry Smith explains ( @ 1:29:36 ) how COH died and then came back 😎

^ every AT strip is there! And also his later web comics: the paintball one, the comic store one, and the semi-autobiographical one where his character gets hired by Dante at the Angst Technology company to work on a "Cowmandos" video game 🙂

Consoles / Re: Switch 2

It's basically GTA: Mushroom Kingdom

It's a free roaming world that lets you explore and play minigames and just well, drive. Tracks are all interconnected and in elimination mode you actually drive from area to area.

There's still traditional Kart Tracks too if all you want is racing.

The Switch 2 also upgrades previous games so that they run with higher frame rates and other graphical treats, so you can replay stuff like BotW at a solid 60fps

I would wait for a price drop though $700 is a big chunk of change
