A really bold take on 4x, where with 2-4 move per turn makes you weigh and chose which actions to take, and each of those forego ones on the other levels, be they military, diplomatic, financial or occult.

And each one of those decisions have repercussions, none of the fixed number of turns you want to skip just to wait out some timed action. Especially good in async 'PBEM' style play though Steam's turn notification API.

I for one would welcome Gotham's new Dark Champion, Chimpbutflyingman !

The 3080 MSRP wasn't bad, but it was a complete fantasy figure. Short of the pre-orders who may have eventually gotten their cards up to a year or more later, I doubt a single card was actually sold at MSRP. At least not over here in the EU.
After the reviews I pre-ordered the 3080 a tier higher than normal. Bought the cheapest edition, which never was produced because of the chip shortage.

Alternate, the shop I pre-ordered from honored the sale by promising me the next cheapest model from the same manufacturer. In the end it took 5 months for them to get them from the manufacturer.

I knew at that moment it probably would be the only chance on such a performant card for the next years.

Void Bastards was a really unique game where every part was brought back to it's bare essentials, but their interlocking was impeccable and lifted the game far higher than the sum of its parts.

Hope they can pull off the same trick here.

The whole article was about some old geezers that had a hit in the 80's, and their careful provenance of their IP during the decline the next decades.

Until they sold out completely to some Japanese cryptobros now there were still some people that remembered its name.

The 'hope for the future' mentioned is they still have the rights to the original(s).

So perhaps they can sell out some more for the remakes, if anyone will take the risk to be litigated to hell and back by previously mentioned cryptobros.

But you still paid for the game ? Why would they care then ?

I saw that they made one of the characters unavailable to anyone who doesn't buy the deluxe edition.
That's a pretty boneheaded move for a new IP of a developer that only sold games based on licenses from just one company before.

If this'd been something like Crimson Skies and one or two minor planes would have been locked away they might get away with it, but signature planes or God forbid a whole faction ?

Paradox wouldn't be able to treat that like Warhammer which still had thousands of active players worldwide waiting for a decent digital implementation for decades.

Let alone a new IP. Previous ones performed rather spottily already, despite Harebrained Schemes having a good name.

Fascinating and very enlightening article by chipsandcheese, as always

An overload of nerdsniping detail ignoring the simple fact that Starfield runs like a dog on AMD, but only looks at why it runs even worse on Nvidia.

The writer of this article missed the point of the single developer quote he based this argument on completely: "Trust the dice" refers to the 'Karmic Dice' feature that's on by default in this game.

This means dice rolls aren't completely random, but long strings of good or bad rolls are guarded against by an automated combo breaker fudging the dice in the opposite direction for both players and npcs, like a DM would.

This should lower the need for save scumming, although the context which rolls matter more for the player it can't anticipate like a human.

RPG systems like Fate where players can add some form of bonus Luck points at key moments they find narratively important, earned by making other moments more challenging might give players more agency without having to resort to save scumming, and some form of narrative balance is preserved.

Difficulty scaling is very much off in Div II, if you lack levels compared to your opponent it's pretty much game over. I remember taking the XP bonus % skill was pretty much mandatory, just like Warfare was for most physical damage builds in DDOS2.

What a non story about the bot CEO. A company appointed one and their stocks magically rose 10% !

No explanation what executive decisions it made that had an influence on their stocks whatsoever.

Only explanation I get from it is the stock market, again, is easily hyped.

Yup.

It's beyond me how some can complain the game got slower while there's one tank less to guard supports, and with less support people drop a whole lot faster.

Not to mention the slog that was double shield comps are no longer there.

For owners of OW 1 the phone requirements were dropped, perhaps because changing conditions of sale after the fact might lead to a class action suit, which wouldn't be the case for MW2.

Had a friend brave the queues to join me, who got disconnected and had to requeue multiple times. When he finally got in the game thought he was on a different version.

So I had to exit and check for updates and errors, then also managed to get disconnected and had to requeue three times. Only to find out the problem persisted.

We fixed not being able to play together by joining a custom game, so we could see each other in 'recently played with', then had to unfriend him, invite him to group, and re-add as friend again.

So a shitload of problems seem to be account specific, like the bug people that had merged PC and console accounts who couldn't ever log in because they were guaranteed to disconnect.

DDOS my arse.
