  Lol, the Orange box was my first purchase that installed Steam too. Technically should’ve done that with HL2, but I played it way after release, and sadly all I could afford at the time was the pirated version. But having sinked in so much dough through Steam afterwards, I doubt Valve would care.

  Wow, I’m at ~$3800 and have 535 games, you’ve done good for yourself. I’ve also brought in some games from humble bundles, but if I have to guess these total 20% of my purchases at most.

  I bought a witeless magnetic battery recently, and what quickly turned me off was that it charges at ~2/3rd efficiency and speed than its wired mode. Also heats up my phone battery way more, so I just snap it to my phone and use the short and unobtrusive usb-c cable to charge it instead.

  Now, if I was changing phones every year or two and I didn’t care about keeping its battery life - sure, I’d use the wireless charging without worries, although it will still be slightly slower than wired (but still fast charging anyway).

  It may have not caused that much panic, but Amplitude consistently put out interesting ideas and enhancements to the Civ-likes in their games, so no wonder Firaxis might use these as templates and negate any unique features their competition might have over them. Plus, the Civ genre has to move in some way, anyway.

  Oops, you’re right, corrected.

  Or the 1996 Colonization?

  Haven’t played Humankind, but Amplitude’s previous Civ-like “Endless Legend” was amazing and very fresh take on the genre. And it looked like Firaxis were already trying to copy some of it in Civ 6, so I’m not surprised if this trend continues.

  I generally don’t pre-order, probably won’t this time too as release has creeped so close. But definitely buying it full price, just waiting for some day-1 reviews to check if it needs patches or not. I love the STALKER series, played them all and I definitely feel I own GSC some more money for the FPSs I’ve most enjoyed in the last 20 years or so.

  The orange shrivelled taco will probably keel over before his term ends. Just look at him, does this look like someone who might survive four more years?

  What would happen afterwards with JD Vance at the helm I’m less clear.

  This is the best explanation here so far.
