Ashyr,

Did this ever get updated? It was glitchy and inconsistent on iOS. I love the idea of a Three Kingdoms experience for Reigns, but it was not well done when it was first released.

Ashyr,

I love these annual factoid updates. Deep Rock Galactic is one of my most played games on steam, but I’ve taken almost the entirety of the season off. Hopefully I’ll be back next season.

Ashyr,

Starfield at 7 seems a bit optimistic, even for paid advertising.

Ashyr,

From the article, it sounds like their dlc have been overpriced with limited content and Pharaoh just seems bad?

Anyone closer to the issue know what the missteps have been?

Ashyr,

I don’t have time to watch now, but I’m very interested. If anyone watches and has anything to share, let me know.

Ashyr,

It has three expansions bundled with it. I’ve never played, but it’s my understanding that these three expansions represent the initial must-buy content.

Ashyr,

Honestly, you’re wandering into prescriptive vs descriptive grammar on this one. How we use words changes over time. For example, it’s not nearly as big of a deal to to end sentences with a preposition anymore.

No need to be pedantic, the meaning is clear.

Addicting, especially for non-professional usage, is perfectly fine these days.

But I tend to be a descriptionist.

Ashyr,

I’ve not heard of it till now, but Lego would actually make the building mechanics make sense.

A clever crossover.

I assume it’s pretty good, based on the player count?

Ashyr,

Gauntlet meets Dead Cells? Yes please.

Ashyr,

Awesome trailer. I know many people considered the story and gameplay to be good with updates, did the open world ever improve?

Ashyr,

“Our trademark is the freedom given to the player, but always with limits,” Kalemba tells Lega Nerd. “I’ll give you an example: in Cyberpunk 2077 you can choose your character’s background, whether to be a man or a woman, but you are still always V.

I assume this is what they mean?

Ashyr,

There original Wargroove never quite took for me. Any reason to consider the sequel?

Ashyr,

Almost no questions were asked or answered.

Basically it’ll be like Sims, no rating change.

Saved you a click on an annoying article.

Ashyr,

As a non-programmer who is nonetheless invested in the success of Godot, can anyone explain some of the highlights from this release?

I started reading the log and realized very quickly, I’m not the target audience and I don’t know why it ‘arrived in style’.

Ashyr,

Thanks! I’m excited to see progress.

Ashyr,

Does this play at all on a mouse and keyboard? I haven’t had a joystick since the original tie fighter.

Ashyr,

Someone sell me on Homeworld.

I know it’s beloved, but it always just seemed like a much more fiddly 2D rts.

I can’t recall the third dimension ever making a huge difference.

Ashyr,

Neat. This latest season has been a bit of a wash for me. I think gun reworks is pretty important for keeping me engaged and this was pretty much the first season to do offer nothing.

A balance update could really help me get back in.

Ashyr,

I think most comments were generally helpful or at least sharing their experiences when faced with a similar problem.

The openly critical responses were downvoted.

I’m not a member of the community, but I think you might be a little unfair calling it not nice.

Ashyr,

So you’ll blame every single helpful person for something they had no control over?

Ashyr,

The jerks were largely downvoted, what more do you expect of them? That’s literally the mechanism for dealing with bad actors. No one was okay with it, but you’re acting like they were.

Ashyr,

I remember loving this way back in the day. What an amazing labor of love. I hope the original devs can learn how loved their original creation remains.

Ashyr,

Any fans care to weigh in on their excitement level over this?

Darkest Dungeon never took for me. It felt too punishing and I didn’t enjoy the gameplay enough to press on.

I’ve heard the sequel is a pretty significant departure from the original, which caught my interest as I didn’t love the original. I’d be curious how the sequel has settled out as fans adjusted to it and are now looking at this DLC.

Ashyr,

In all seriousness, why would I want to invest in this rather than something like Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition?

Ashyr,

Oh man, there was a Lemmy equivalent of r/place? Definitely need to get the word out better for next time. That would have been a lot of fun.

Ashyr,

If anyone cares to save a few extra bucks, you can find slightly better deals elsewhere:

isthereanydeal.com/game/…/info/

Every vendor listed is reputable and sells steam keys. I’ll be picking this up from GameBillet for $7.88.

Ashyr,

That’s a bold claim with Gollum on the field.

Ashyr,

I stand very much corrected. There’s some real competition out there this year.

Ashyr,

Help me understand it. I enjoyed it a while until I discovered the combination you need to chase to consistently get good results. Getting anything else felt like a waste of time and chasing the same build quickly became dull.

What am I missing? I’m glad for its success and that others are enjoying it and would like to get it as well.

Ashyr,

Probably 5-6 characters with 30+ minutes. I never got death kills, but came close a few times.

I think fighting death just takes too long for me to really feel like starting over when I fail. The thirty minute grind the game is built around just felt rough to me. Especially when the thirty minutes mostly feels trivial, just a time gate to endure.

No idea what an egg farmer even is.

Ashyr,

Those are some good suggestions.

Ashyr,

If I’m bad at Factorio, could I tackle this? I really, really just want a modern update on Sid Meier’s Railroads, but this could scratch a similar itch.

Ashyr,

I went ahead and tried it and absolutely adore it.

It very much feels like Sid Meier’s Railroads with modern sensibilities. I’m currently a bit stuck on the first bonus level where you ramp up steel production, but I suspect I’m just missing an obvious way to organize my trains.

I don’t have a very good grasp of why I’d want one engine over another or how many cars I should put on a train. For now it’s kind of fun to just fiddle around and see what works.

Ashyr,

I can’t read the article due to my ad blocker. Oh well.

Ashyr,

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

Ashyr,

Anything particular exciting about this expansion? I’m not very versed in EVE, so it just sounds like more of the same.

Ashyr,

This guy unabashedly loved the base game when it came out. So yeah, I don’t really trust his opinion, but it’s not inconsistent for him to praise new content for a beloved game.

Ashyr,

The game in question is The Callisto Protocol, which clearly has Dead Space visual and thematic inspirations.

The primary complaint from the one review I read was that the combat was punishing and unenjoyable. You’re never really given the tools to feel like you can handle encounters, making them trudging slog of endurance and frustration.
