  Those are high level examples.

  Last Firaxis game I bought was Civ6 and while I played it for 50 hours or so, I mostly play Civ5 and Civ4 (and a whole variety of mods/conversations).

  Fuck Rockstar and fuck Take Two (even though other than CDPR, Firaxis is the only "AAA" studio that I buy games from).

  I am using the Piefed mobile web view (Voyager also sends me to Firefox for Android).

  I don't have any exotic lists in UBO. Just the major ones for English and some regional ones for languages that I speak.

  Apologies, I don't get any of this with Firefox for Android + UBO. It's just a regular site.

  Love Max Payne 1 and 2.

  I am not at all optimistic about the remake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines - probably the most cliche answer possible, but Troika really did build a game that took you to the world of vampires in LA in the early 2000s.

  Arcanum - a fantasy world undergoing industrialization with technology being in direct conflict with magic.

  UnderRail - A society stuck underground connected by tunnels between towns/cities and nodes. The writing (quests/characters) is not that great, but the world-building is top notch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I can't wait till they add true turn based combat to Pillars of Eternity.

  I played avout 3-4 hours and the setting and world, but the real time combat did not work for me.

  I don't mind real-time combat, but it has been in third person.

  I don't think it's that popular, more like a cult classic of sorts.

  Although I wouldn't be surprised if is better known in Scandinavia and parts of Eastern Europe.

  Not sure which one to try though, there are multiple with their own specific hooks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inside ARMSX2: Interviewing the Team Reviving PS2 Emulation on Android (my article!)⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  After some thinking, I decided to pursue a revival for PS2 emulation on Android devices. A little side note, I don’t use Android, I’ve been an iPhone user since I’d received my first phone, my intentions were for the community remaining in Aether, as well as the overall Android community given how AetherSX2 went down. I first tried by recruiting new developers but come to find out it’s not an easy task whatsoever. I did manage to recruit two developers to the initial project, but busy schedules and a lack of progress led to stagnation, so I put my ambitions on hold for the time being.

  Interesting that one of the lead devs of a PS2 Android emulator uses an iPhone. Nothing wrong with that, just peculiar.

  There are multiple film studio management games (with different approaches to gameplay mechanics) that are probably a much better choice:

  • The Executive - Movie Industry Tycoon
  • Hollywood Animal - Played the demo, it's a different concept that one would expect from a "movie tycoon".
  • Movies Tycoon
  • Blockbuster Inc.

  Be on the lookout for TF2 Classic which getting an unofficial release soon.

  It's a pre-2010 era TF2 experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It’s about redemption’: Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Arguably the issue isn't so much in the gaming landscape as the history behind the game.

  His previous "game" was a crypto/NFT scam where they sold land (as NFTs) to people who were speculating they could make IRL money from renting out this "land" to plebs.

  It was a compete failure. I played it for an hour on a free sever (or something similar). The gameplay was complete shit, it was tedious and grindy (like mobile titles), graphics were ugly, gameplay was repetitive and uninspired, the multiplayer elements didn't really make much sense.

  All the NFT buyers got destroyed while Molyneux collected tens of millions.

  Allegedly that money was used to "invest" in Masters of Albion.

  But the real kicker is that Masters of Albion seems to be based on that NFT scam game engine (which IMO is beyond saving).

  I wouldn't be surprised if this a managed exit from his previous crypto/NFT scam "game".

  The only time I ever tried loot boxes was with TF2 and Dota2 back in the early to mid 2010s.

  I very quickly realized that this wasn't what I was looking for in gaming. These days I mostly play indie games where monetisation is not issue. Even gave up on Paradox because I am not okay with their DLC approach. I don't mind paying for DLC, but one has to look at their release of Cities: Skylines 2 to see that they've really become the "EA of Europe".

  The city in the original was a huge, you could get lost exploring all the different neighbourhoods. Almost all of them had their own style and design.

  If they have the resources (I am assuming Cloudpunk performed significantly above their initial projections), I have no issues with them taking longer (as long as they aren't stuck in development hell).
