Anyone play OTC? Any good?

It's a very fun RTS, but you gotta have a head for numbers (which is probably why it never took off). Compared to Starcraft, there's a lot more on-the-fly thinking because of the randomized maps and resource interactions; you can't just memorize a build order to carry you through the first five minutes.

The game can be very fast paced at times, but there's not as much micro per se. It's more about watching market fluctuations and what your opponents are doing in their bases.

The campaign and bot skirmishes can be paused or slowed down to your liking.

Also, I love the soundtrack.

I swear, seeing stuff like this getting released makes me feel like im living in the 90's again. Steam is so over bloated from this low level game trash.

So tired of seeing it on my steam page all the time. I keep ignoring these types of games, but yet more keep showing up. UGH!!!

Although the triple-A industry is in a terrible state however, independent development is thriving and we have seen some amazing indie titles over the past few years and I am very hopeful for the indie scene.

If the trend of cores increases then i reckon MS will do the same to home OS as they did with server OS and start core licencing.

Now would be a good time to move all of our manufacturing from China to other places and back home.

North America is perfectly situated to do this, we just have to do it. Canada has much of the resources, Mexico has the cheap labor and the US has the economy.

Fuck that noise. Manufacturing should be done domestically for their own respective countries by our own citizens. It's not like Apple can't afford it.

I'm still with Intel and Nvidia (mostly because what I have can run most games fine, even on high settings). One reason I haven't thought about AMD is they have had heat and noise problems in the past. I'm not interested in complex rigs or water cooling, and noise and heat is probably just as important as FPS (maybe more so) to me. While AMD has managed to catch up in sheer speed, their thermals still seem to run very hot, unless something has changed in recent iterations.

So virtual violence bad, but thanking the military for their service - the people who go out actually kill other people as a profession - good?

Biden has never been anything but a D.I.N.O, a panderer, and a shill for the rich. If the Dems pick him they're gonna' lose.

A LOT of people are coming into our shop asking about Windows 10. Lots of these people want to upgrade their insanely weak computers to it, at a cost (OS + installation) that’d BUY them a technically better machine with win10 on it.
I don’t understand their logic, aside from “why replace something that works?”.

It’s a weird job. People who willfully use garbage hardware come in for advice that they’ll then blatantly ignore because it’s not what they wanted to hear. Why did you come waste my time to begin with? Are you lonely?
