Most debt actually can’t be inherited, instead debt collectors get first dibs on inheritance assets until they’re made whole or the estate runs out of assets, whichever comes first.

That doesn’t mean that debt collectors won’t try to convince family members to pay. Just tell them where they can shove it.

It’s a tough pivot to make, but what else are fans of the genre gonna play hahahah

Sins of a Solar Empire 1

And hey, we get to hope Sins 2 remains great.

Sin’s is a game my friends and I always come back to. Such a dynamic rts with so many ways to win.

The expansions are fairly priced and also one person having an expansion is enough to host an expansion game for everyone who has any version installed.

Honestly, I bought my kid a used Chromebook. No regrets. Lots of benefits.

Amazing how many products just don’t.

The owner is a piece of shit who’s convinced he’s smarter than everyone else and has been hostile to Linux for decades.

Fuckin Golden Sun was super legit. I even loaded up an emulator and replayed just a few years ago. It holds up perfectly well.

Single nm in this case is a 15% improvement. The number of nm isn’t the important part.

And Valve isn’t Nintendo. Their hardware strategies, developer strategies, and manufacturing strategies are wildly different and really shouldn’t be directly compared

But… boost clocks often directly impact performance? And why only increase boost clocks when after a lithography switch they’d gain so much headroom? Seems a weird place to draw a line in the sand.

But all of this is speculation. What we do know is that RAM speeds are increased, and that will directly impact performance with or without CPU improvements.

We’ll have to see. Usually transistor count isn’t a valid measure of performance unless the chips have identical clock, IPC, and architecture. It’s possible they made the same chip on two different lithographies with the same clocks, but it’s pretty rare.

They did make it more powerful. 6nm APU instead of 7nm. They definitely updated it.

Others can probably add more, but PA started as a Kickstarter back in the wild West days of Kickstarter. Lots of promises made, lots of concepts shown. Biggest failures I can recall from that hazily distant time:

1. Last minute they added an always-online requirement to play. This was in the early 2010s, and was very frowned upon considering the local-first nature of TA. Also lead to enormous stability issues for months after launch.

2. The promise was for a TA/SC successor, but what we got was far more cartoony and watered down than TA/SC and what was shown during Kickstarter. A lot of the core game loops of TA/SC were simply missing or so simplified they no longer mattered.

3. While the game was still in a fairly immature, broken, buggy, incomplete state, they released Planetary Annihilation: Titans. This was probably done to duck all the poor reviews they had on their Steam page, which stemmed from the issues with the Kickstarter campaign promises and the mentioned bugs/incompleteness on release. Titans was significantly better, but required a new purchase (begrudgingly discounted if you had bought PA early enough) and offered a lot of improvements that should have been brought to the original game for free.

All of that said, since the Titans release, Uber has generally done right by the community, but it was a painful and bumpy road. Most of the community turned their focus to work on Beyond All Reason, rather than continue to depend on Uber.

If you liked Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, or were able to see the interesting game behind all of Planetary Annihilation, you should check out https://www.beyondallreason.info/ instead of continuing to support this company after all the BS of PA.

Did you ever get into Supreme Commander? It’s a true, updated TA successor. Otherwise now there’s Beyond All Reason, which the community has largely migrated to.

You mean repackaged Wine that they’re pretending to have invented? Yeah should do.

Grim Dawn! Successor to TQ and measurably better than any other arpg on the market (in my opinion).

You expect Molyneux to be capable of not disappointing people?
