- Comment on Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5 3 days ago:
Same with Paradox games. 4X in general is just really hard to get right on release because of how many interlinking systems there are, so waiting for balance updates at a minimum is never a bad idea.
- Comment on "Americans can't coo-" 1 week ago:
It was on an episode of Home Improvement. Not sure if the show started it or if it was just referencing the existing fad.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remake Will Reportedly Be Revealed Soon, and Released Not Long After That 2 weeks ago:
Bethesda has actually been consistently supportive of Skyblivion, Morroblivion, and Skywind.
- Comment on WoW guild uses exploits to get world 'first' on new raid, gets banned, puts its name backwards and does it again 2 weeks ago:
I genuinely didn’t know it was still big. Everyone I know who played it quit ten years ago and expansion launches no longer hit my feeds.
- Comment on How can a military buy fighter jets that the seller has kill switches for? 2 weeks ago:
The kill switches are fine so long as the seller remains stable and predictable.

Wifi might become obsolete some time in the future, but apple pie is eternal.
- Comment on Just watched the movie Hacksaw Ridge. Got me thinking can people in the military turn down an order because they disagree with it on sensible grounds? Like Trump ordering them to invade CN? 2 weeks ago:
Your job in the military is to risk your life to save the lives of others. Refusing to follow illegal orders is part of that. If you think your superior will kill you and then commit war crimes literally over your dead body, arrest them so they can be tried in military court or die trying. I know, we’re human and this is easier said than done, but it is what should be done.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 4 weeks ago:
No. The repo has Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert 1, Generals with Zero Hour, Renegade, and components for the HD ports of TD and RA1 they put out a few years ago.

*steel
That’s Bon Jovi, not Kid Rock.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 4 weeks ago:
I think the old Westwood dev they put in charge of the franchise just doesn’t have any oversight.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 4 weeks ago:
At least some of the remaster source code is in the repo, too. If the TS or RA2 source code is found, people will be immediately able to do that graphics switch for them, too.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 4 weeks ago:
IIRC, a few years ago EA hired some of the original devs, put them in charge of the franchise, and then went very hands-off, but with very little budget. So far they’ve done this, and a very reasonably priced 4K remaster of TD and RA1.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 4 weeks ago:
That’s only the HD remaster of TD and RA1.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 4 weeks ago:
Though do also note that of these four, TD and RA1 were already made freeware years ago.
- Comment on Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! 4 weeks ago:
Not exactly a suggestion, but why emulate Okami instead of just running the PC version?
- Comment on Skyblivion, the fan remake of Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, nears completion 4 weeks ago:
The fully lit portions of this map have been fully NPCd and quested. You might have enabled the preview landmass, which includes (or included, not sure if they still distribute it) a bunch of mostly mapped exteriors with partial interiors and typically no NPCs.
- Comment on Anon compares Harry and Ron 5 weeks ago:
IIRC, she said it was wish fulfillment on her part, with Hermione standing in for JKR and Ron being like someone JKR liked when she was younger.
- Comment on Some examples of video games with an UI layout ripped off of another game? 5 weeks ago:
Which is weird because BOTW’s UI is the worst part of the game. Soooo much scrollingthrough item lists.
- Comment on Day 215 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots 5 weeks ago:
Unity’s gameplay was a glorious return to form. Unity’s writing… not so much.
- Comment on Some examples of video games with an UI layout ripped off of another game? 5 weeks ago:
Generals also took the base construction and resource harvesting systems from Blizzard’s games. The entire game feels like it should have been named ModernCraft or something instead of C&C.
Going the other way, Warcraft 1 and 2 used used a left-justified UI that was very similar to the one C&C used, but with elements that would evolve into the StarCraft and Warcraft 3 UI.

Guy couldn’t handle the sudden fame, iirc.
- Comment on Some examples of video games with an UI layout ripped off of another game? 5 weeks ago:
I still play games with look inversion because controls were so unstandardized in the '90s that what we currently consider inverted was the default on a good number of games and that was what I learned. I didn’t even go to the modern stick layout until Halo 3 was out, and that mostly worked because I thought of it as WASD + mouse mapped to sticks.
- Comment on Two big Final Fantasy remakes are reportedly still in ‘active development’ 5 weeks ago:
I still haven’t played Part 2, but I’m pretty sure the remake trilogy is a stealth sequel.
- Comment on Two big Final Fantasy remakes are reportedly still in ‘active development’ 5 weeks ago:
FF8 didn’t do it for me, mostly because the gameplay was a terribly broken mess. I loved 12, though; the story is like the love child of Final Fantasy, Game of Thrones, and Star Wars, and the gameplay felt like a logical evolution of the ATB system for a fully 3D world.

Why would you link that gif and not the Sideshow Bob one?

Out of morbid curiosity, what movie is it?

I love that they somehow couldn’t get a picture of someone holding the food, so they just shopped it three times.
- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread 1 month ago:
Wait until there’s a steep sale on the Complete Edition later on. I only paid $5 for Civ5 Complete, and I think $15 for Civ6 Complete.
- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread 1 month ago:
IIRC from when I first got the game, the tutorial hadn’t been updated to account for changes from patches and expansions. It was probably fine for launch day, but decidedly not for the final game.
- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread 1 month ago:
Culture victories are never really explained, but that was also a Civ5 issue. I never completely figured out how luxuries/amenities are distributed between your cities, and cities don’t show a breakdown, just how many they have. I do like 6 better than 5 over all, though, but I’m also not OP.
