I received my backer copy over the summer and been having a blast playing it. Definitely gives me some Solarpunk vibes. The game is also completely compostable and produced using localized production to minimize the international shipping necessary.

So after not finding anything on here about one of my favorite old series of games I decided to start my own community for it. Come here to discuss Star Control, The Ur-Quan Masters, and the upcoming Children of Infinity sequel!

Beautiful cover of a beautiful song. Still haven't beaten the game myself, one of these days I'll figure it out.

So picked this up in the recent Steam sale and just finished it. What does everyone think? I liked it, though I definitely enjoyed the earlier portions more, when it felt more grounded than fantastical. I would love to see a game centered around LeBlanc and his time as a PI before Kay returns. I feel like that would be a good setting to really dig into this awesome dystopia that was created here.

Hello all! Looking for any advice or thoughts from anyone else in a similar position. One of our cats has been super congested (whenever he is active you can especially hear it) for a few weeks now. I know most cats always have a low level viral respiratory infection (especially shelter cats), but last Tuesday (9/3) I took him to the vet and they said he may have a secondary bacterial infection so they gave him a shot of antibiotics and said he should be better in a week or two. Today, he still sounds just as bad and stuffed up. I also tried having him in the bathroom while I ran the shower hot and it seemed to loosen up a little, but it still sounds almost as bad.

Anyone have a similar experience? I am planning on taking him back to the vet early next week if it doesn't improve over the weekend but I'd rather avoid the bill if this is more of a 'wait it out' situation.

How is it in 2024 now that it’s finished? A lot of reviews I see are based on when it originally came out but I’m curious about the current state of the game. With it being on sale now it seems like it’s worth it even with flaws.

For some context, I’m not a huge city-builder guy (I’ve played some here and there) but the sci-fi setting and the narrative are what interest me here. I don’t really care about replayability as long as one play through is entertaining enough.

Any thoughts?

Anyone else have fond memories of Star Control 2?

Been waiting my whole adult life for this one!

Just found out about this law that went into effect in 2021 in MD. HOAs or communities cannot require turf-only landscapes.
