I played a bit of valheim with a buddy and it seems fine, but I don't really see why its at around 96% on steam. Admittedly I'm not really into crafting/survival games, but Im not sure what valheim has that a hundred other coop crafting/survival games dont.

I check in on this occasionally (I was very very into KoL back in the day, love to hardcore ascend) and last I checked there were typically a couple hundred people logged in at any point (although I'd bet that ~50 of those at least are chatbots), a little bit of activity on their forums, and they still at least release new stuff to buy with Mr. A's. Idk otherwise.

Also:
  • They fired Mr. Skullhead a while ago, which is a bummer
  • If you listened to the KoL podcast back in the day you might remember a dude who would send them like 50 questions to answer as fast as possible sometimes (I think they eventually started answering the questions but not reading them, which was fun). That was TheGunRun, who went on to do ESPORTS stuff at twitch and in starcraft(?) and stuff


Man, I really miss the KoL NS11 days so bad. I had *so* much fun with that game, and took it way too seriously. Probably the first game that I took too seriously, although I left it when NS13 happened.

Spiritfarer is a really nice casual / sleepy game if you're looking for something charming but not as bingeable as stardew

Did I ever tell you about my college roommate who traded a $200 TF2 hat for a ton of meat and lost most of it at the money-making game because he read a "guide" somewhere that showed him a "system?"

Great game for a while. If you can run it decently, it's also gorgeous as fuck.

It is.
Buggy, no lategame (which is bad for a looter shooter :D)

Nonethelss, the gameplay has no contenders whatsoever. flying around, smashing stuff, blowing stuff up.
It all feels amazing. Imo unparalleled by anything on the market.

Until you get to the point where you have to min/max the gear, it all is fun.
As loot still sucks. And flying with a controller is much more intuitive than with m+k. Though fighting is easier with the latter.

and for less than 10 bucks it's definitely worth it in my opinion.


I have spent around 130 hours in the game. Do not regret the full price purchase.
It's still sad how good the game could've been and how bad it is in comparison lol

Yep lol that's it. He lost that $200 but he also bought a bitcoin at $300 haha

I think KoL was the first game I ever saw speedrun, waaaay back.

I remember downloading and watching in full a like 12 hour vod of Mr. Bill (I think?) doing the first 1-day softcore ascension. It was like 12 hours long.

It was also *after* everyone (bashy, etc) tried to do a one day ascension and felt like it was kinda outa the blue tbh.

I remember you joining the channel and trolling packrat for a solid 2-3 weeks in TL-ABL irc.
Good memories, I miss the irc days.


didn't take much to trigger packrat tbf


But do you remember how Packrat poured a bunch of time trying to befriend harodihg and offering to give him english lessons, and watching movies together? And then one day I asked packrat how things were going and he was all silent and moody and then he was like 'harodihg isn't Japanese and is fluent in english'.

Hi HJT!



hey hjt and dave! packrat was a wonderful and awesome guy, I miss our fun chats in there, even the ones with the guy who was stalking and hoarding pictures of the random kpop girls. I think he had thousands or something of some of them. good times. I hope that you're all doing well

Hey haro!
I also miss chatting in that channel. Packrat is still awesome, though I haven't spoken to him in about 2 years now.
I can't remember who hoarded kpop girl pics, but sounds like something Shocky would do?
All well here thanks! I got married last year, and we just moved to the US, so quite a big culture shock, and I am still adjusting. I hope you're well too!
