I’ve been enjoying it a lot, but it’s clearly an unfinished product at the moment.

To get into a little more detail, there’s not a whole lot of features at the moment, but that’s pretty par for the course. The launch version of VI seems similarly sparse in this regard, but its updates and expansions did a good job fleshing it out. What’s there at the moment is mostly just a barebones collection of core gameplay systems, but I already think they’re deeper and more engaging than in previous iterations.
Grouping units up for rapid deployment under a commander? Love it. Navigable rivers? Sign me the fuck up. Making the game’s outcome feel like less of a foregone conclusion by half-time by soft-resetting at the start of new eras? Sorely needed. Love how they’ve re-worked independent powers (formerly city-states and barbarian encampments). Content is gonna come later.
It’s a shame that the interface is total dog shit. People are complaining that it got dumbed down for parity with consoles, but if it’s as bad on those as it was using a controller on PC (at my gf’s place, so I was playing with my deck) then this is a sloppy execution that doesn’t work well for anyone.

And in Civ VII Keshigs are once again completely cracked.

Lmao all the potterhead dweebs are gonna be malding over this one.

Y’all should read another book sometime, play a different game. Who knows, you might like it.

Hasn’t it gone through two or three major texture overhauls anyway?

I like it if it’s done well

When did they change the naming scheme this time???

The Steam release of the original Crysis comes with DRM that prevents it from launching after five (5) installs. Ask me how I know 🙃

If you don’t wanna play the remaster, just get the GOG version.

Read the first four words of that comment again…

Yeah I figured I was just unlucky (I might’ve fucked something up by messing around too much)

Can’t speak to Xbox Series controllers, but Xbox One controllers on Linux are a mess in terms of the drivers situation. Running 'em over USB with xpad, the default kernel driver is fine, but you might need to install xone or xow to get them working wirelessly with the dongle, or xpadneo for Bluetooth. Maybe other people have had a better time but it’s a total fucking headache IME.

Honestly I’m a huge fan of Sony’s Dualsense controller. It’s got a whole bunch of features that are sometimes lacking in other gamepads. A trackpad, gyro, audio in/out, analogue triggers with force feedback. Unfortunately, as far as I know, it only connects via Bluetooth or USB.

Let big corpo tell you whats true and whats not goyim

Alright uncle Cletus, it’s time for your nap. Don’t forget your antipsychotic cyanide pills 🥰

I’m not sure what exactly Microsoft’s game is here. Like yeah, they’re tapping into a market segment they’re not currently participating in, with the additional benefit of giving Xbox gamers access to their existing libraries, I get that, but then what? Like, assuming that these are still gonna be fully functional PCs that people can install third party storefronts on, doesn’t this just run the risk of losing existing customers to other software vendors? I can already see the people coming from Xbox onto a Microsoft handheld and then getting hooked by a Steam Sale or EGS freebie, spending less money in MS’s ecosystem over time.
Maybe they’re hoping that the same effect could happen in reverse, but tbh I’m not sure how many Steam/Epic/GOG/Itch/whatever gamers would start building a library in the Xbox storefront. I’d wager it’s a lesser number than those they’ll lose with this sort of device.

I have a mate who’s obsessed with this game. He made a mod for Age of Empires II that replaces the villagers with zoombinis.

Hey pal, don’t blame us for this shit, most of us are in our twenties

Agreed, DP does feel better. DisplayPort is good, too.

I ran into some minor bugs like twice in my eighty hour playthrough. It’s definitely worth playing in its current state IMO.

In Stars and Time

Who cares lol potterheads are fuckin dweebs

It’s because they’re not that competent.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough. I want every party involved in this scenario to waste as much of their money as possible in this pissing match, Epic included.

I hope they all lose 💕

I’d seen the video and was sceptical because they weren’t very explicit with regard to the functionality, but the dev diary (which I hadn’t read) is reassuring.

I really hope that the mixed use buildings actually function as such and aren’t just housing with a purely cosmetic commercial floor.
