That map is always so damn hairy when playing as the guard... Like, yeah, let's play the faction with its strength spread out over a higher model count and bring them to the place where number of killed models determines victory.

But at least it's not fucking Hyperion Peaks.

A Military Escort did a fly-by of my base close enough to spawn a drone. The drone smashed into the asteroid, breaking its only gun. I've captured the drone and am stripping it for material - it's got heavy armor, so that's a lot of material.

Space Engineers.

But at least it's not fucking Hyperion Peaks.

Hyperion Peaks is literally impossible if playing as the Necrons. At least, if the Orks are holding it, which they do at the start of the campaign.

Gots myself a -21 on the teeny hole setting on the easiest course.

Got myself a -9 on the hardest course, aided by my first ever hole-in-one.

Dwarf Fortress

or Everybodys Golf, I always mix them up

[Rolan7]

I was a thick, hard dwarf of the streets.  No job too rough.  This one time, I ran with this newbie - soft.  He had no idea, but when the heat came, when he was desperate, he stood with us.
Good kid.

There's something satisfying about cracking a nut open.  You break the shell, and anticipate destroying the FlEsH iNsIdE.

Shadowrun Returns

[EnigmaticHat]

I created a device that destroys heat at the cost of energy.  Just to show the laws of thermodynamics who's boss.  Also because I was irrigating bristle berries with 40 C water.

Isn’t that just called a refrigerator?

[Akura]

Pretty sure a (real life) refrigerator just transfers heat from inside the box to the coils on the back of the fridge, which then radiates it out into your home.

Not to mention generating its own heat as it performs the mechanical processes.

Something about a promotion?

Also my machine is like 4 stories tall and full of crude oil, so I doubt you could convince anyone to install it in your kitchen.

But yeah what the device does isn't physically possible.  First it spends electricity to absorb heat from a liquid, somehow without generating any excess heat.  That heat is then transferred to water which evaporates into steam.  This steam powers a steam generator which outputs (almost no) electricity while destroying heat.  That (now colder) steam is then piped back under the generator, again using electricity and not adding any heat.  The uptake is that electricity + liquid goes in, cooler liquid goes out, and a small amount of heat bleeds off into the surrounding environment because the insulation surrounding it isn't perfect (but it still releases far less heat than it destroys).  I then pipe that liquid around the rest of my base as coolant.

[USEC_OFFICER]

You're in the woods, it's raining and getting dark. Enemy soldiers are hunting through the forest for the old man you're carrying on your back and you only have 4 shots left in your gun. To the left a tank announces its presence by firing its cannon at a rock you're hiding behind. But, as you scurry from rock to tree, cover to cover, weaving around the patrols searching for you, you pick up something in the distance. As you move closer and closer, making one final sprint out in the open with the enemy in persuit, you realize it's a song. A familiar song you choose so very long ago.

You've made it to the rescue helicopter.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

It was a surprisingly tense and enjoyable moment and certainly the most memorable one I've had with the game so far. I don't know if it's properly an own but it is very much worth sharing.

[hector13]

I’m going to choose that’s The Final Countdown, because that’s what I chose, and was disappointed that the intro goes on for a good 45 seconds.

Built a factory, partly since my current project requires materials you can only make in the factory. Which makes very little sense since the factory utilizes your existing crafting stations, it mostly just automates production.

And goddamn does it speed everything up. Making items that require refined resources will first refine raw materials if necessary, and it apparently folds the time it takes to refine the materials into the crafting time of the manufactured item. My current construction project(the Path to the Marsh quest) would have originally taken several (in game) days to do just because of trying to process all the raw materials first. Instead I got all but one of the parts needed in two days, and the last bit wasn't done because I forgot to harvest enough poplar to build it.

All it cost besides the materials and money to construct it was my massive obsessive-compulsively arrangement crafting stations and storage boxes - the latter are no longer necessary since everything gets dumped into the factory storage.

My Time at Portia. In the meantime, I also made Petra my GF and took her out on a very successful date.

*snip*

Ah. Here I was thinking that you just gathered enough resources to craft a heat remover machine, but you actually came up with an original design that broke the games physics. The Redstone masters of Minecraft would be proud.

[Hanslanda]

Holy shit, fuck the Chosen.

I killed the assassin finally but... Christ man.
