I should have said “expansion” not DLC. I meant like another Dawnguard.

I just want more Skyrim dlc at this point. I have lost faith in their ability to make new games

Those people definitely exist, but for some reason they’re more well behaved than other communities. I think the lobby system helps a lot because the good players can self-select to avoid noob stomping.

If you do return, I highly recommend a mod called Mental Omega. It adds sub factions for yuri, a whole new faction, and has four new campaigns. At this point Mental Omega has more content than all of the 2.5d games combined.

A lot of medium skill people still play, surprisingly. I’m not good at all and still have roughly a 70% win rate.

The patch most heavily nerfs France, Iraq, and most importantly, Yuri.

It also fixes a metric fuck ton of bugs. Someone even managed to patch the engine to fix the input delay on lower game speeds.

I’ve seen people play it on the Steam deck but it’s not easy to control.

If you get back into multiplayer then use cncnet. They have a balance patch.

I thought Generals and C&C 3 looked good, but I hated Red Alert 3. They tried too hard to make it Star Craft 2.

Yes. But they need to be very careful to keep that bleak and hopeless aesthetic.

Absolutely. Keep it 2.5d

Red Alert 2

I felt so dumb when I realized

Oils are reusable so don’t try to ration them. I didn’t use them for the first quarter of the game because I didn’t know that. There are a lot of fights that would have been much easier.

Their CEO looks like someone asked AI to make a business man. When your CEO looks like that, then your company is no longer capable of making good games.

Fuck off, Nintendo.

It worked for StarCraft. You train a model on human gameplay and then have it play the game.

With machine learning, there’s no reason we can’t have better AI other than cost. I hope strategy games eventually look into this.

Same with paradox games at this point.

The biggest issue I foresee is just how short eras are. If they’re going to do these resets then eras need to last way longer relative to unit production and movement.

Squad mechanics in ARMA game modes is literally my dream game. I love Squad so much

I wish Squad had a campaign

Renegade was some of the most fun I ever had in a shooter. Truly a unique experience

You can make a sleep timer using shortcuts in iOS

I’ve been asking for this for literally ten years

Why is Reddit watermarking images they don’t own?

Yeah the moment I can get a Linux ARM laptop I don’t think I’ll ever need to upgrade again. The magic that Apple worked was incredible and I can’t wait to see how people build on it.

The M1 chips are the first true laptops that I can actually use on my lap for a full day of work

Sounds like we’re going to get some killer deals on used hardware in a year or so

I bought it like twelve years ago or whenever DayZ was popular. Crazy

True. The M1 chip ruined all other laptops for me

I hope their claims are true, because I’m sick of the duopoly in desktop CPUs.

I think it’s going to be like 7 Days to Die and just never be completed. I’m hoping they’ll eventually do one big announcement or final release that will get my friends to log back in

It’s been four years and all of my friends moved on. I still enjoy it but there’s only so much fun to be had solo

God I wish valheim had been finished

Motion sickness. I can use vr for simulators though

This looks awesome

I’d be willing the buy another expansion for Skyrim. I want to return to Skyrim so badly but I’ve done literally everything that game has to offer

Skyrim is almost three times as old now. I’m going to be honest, I’d rather just have another Skyrim expansion than a modern Bethesda game.

They should just release a new game with the graphical fidelity of Fallout 4, but with better performance and animations. They could probably cut their dev budget in half if they made a game with Skyrim’s scope and FO4’s graphics.

No one plays Bethesda games for their graphical fidelity so they really need to stop wasting time there.

I loved everything about 6 except for that mobile game art style. I didn’t really like the fog of war being a map but that was easy to fix with a mod

Maybe now software engineers will unionize.

Basically the issue is that every six months they break all mods. Many projects over the years got abandoned after an update, or they were just never able to make progress because every six months they’d have to spend weeks patching.

There are some big mods still, but they’re mostly just content additions. Anything that does overhauls, or has lots of overlapping systems, is doomed to failure unless they want to target a specific version of the game and never update. There was a big story mod awhile ago that decided to lock the game version that they supported, but it died when some dependencies updated to the new game version.

Modders work in their free time, so they can only make real progress when they have a stable base for a long long time.
