I was playing Sea of Thieves with some friends today. Game bugged out or something because they started rendering as skeletons instead of their avatars. So i guess i have my own literal skeleton crew now

Keep going! Since you started doing this I have:

  • Crossed the Pacific Ocean

  • Merlt my sisters biological family

  • Gotten a very large chest tattoo

  • Gave a dog back

  • Got given a new dog

  • Got a sweet new electric bicycle

  • Quit my job

  • Got a new job

All of that is 100% true, I swear to God.

Wow Sea of Thieves has added quite a bit of new content since I last played

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Lol! I've never played that.

[–] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why did you have to give away a dog? What made you able to get given a new one?

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Whoops. I misspoke. I gave a dog back, not like given away as in got rid of.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Poor thing had no back

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

sometimes i forgot how many days 41 days actually are. it's very impressive what a person can accomplish in that time frame

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Did they have the skeleton PVP curse?

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

nope. it's weird. This isnt the first time it's happened (one of my friends got a screenshot on their end of me dabbing as a skeleton), but it is the first time i managed see it

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nope, this specific green tinted skeleton is what the game uses as a fallback if there's some issue with loading or displaying a player model.

The PvP curses look different.

Apparently skeleton skins are earnable through a list of bullshit that I was interested in a whole back. But it's too much work for little reward imo.

The game is fun and gorgeous though. I do enjoy just dropping anchor somewhere and fishing for a while.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Interesting

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

oh, that's even more intersting then, because ik for a fact none of us have the skeleton curse (none of us have even touched any of the requirements). i wonder if it was a server issue

[–] MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly sea of thieves is a really good game. It's the perfect play something while taking with your mates kind of game. Interesting gameplay which does not take away too much fokus and somehow a rather dynamic world and feel most session

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

that's how we are too, its a very relaxing game to play (at least until i see a skeleton ship and steer us straight towards it)

You best start believing in ghost stories. You're in one.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Haven't played in around a year and a half. Shame, it had been a weekly thing for our little 3 person crew. We had even started to be able to hold our own in PvP ship battles.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

it's a fun game. I feel like it nails enough points to nab all kinds of different player's attention. i get not playing though, it can be hard to find time though as we get older (at least that's what i'm finding out as i get older)

[–] Arkhive@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is really random, but could you go back to omitting the title of the game from the title of the post? I’m possibly the only one, but guessing the game before looking at the post text has become a sort of daily game for me.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Will do! i went ahead and moved it to the title because i figured no one was actually reading the text in the body and just reading the title, but if people are getting joy out of guessing the game i have no problem moving it!

[–] Arkhive@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

I appreciate it!! I realize it’s a pretty niche request, made mostly selfishly, but it’s very fun for me!!

[–] Muteman30@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Please don't forget to post because legitimately joyful seeing these posts

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I’ve been having a lot of fun with posting them. I think if I do end up missing a day I’ll probably retire to just posting a screenshot whenever I can.

“Day 54 of posting screenshots of Factorio”

[–] sag@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Ssh I want to break his streak.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

it's on my list after i finally get around to finishing (or as close to finishing as i can get) satisfactory

[–] Arkhive@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

I’ve been really enjoying Shapez2 after getting back into Factorio in preparation for the Shapez2 release. In the end very similar, but I’d say Shapez is like creative mode of factorio and doesn’t have any blatant colonialism lol.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

i have lots of fun memories of playing this game with my friends. like the one time we left the captain to man everything on the galleon by himself because we all took our clothes off and cuddled on the captains bed 😂

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Our crew consists of me, which everyone only lets be captain because no one else wants too, our "cook" who keeps setting the ship on fire, and the first mate who isn't allowed to steer ever since he drove us over an island somehow
