I love that they somehow couldn’t get a picture of someone holding the food, so they just shopped it three times.

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.

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.

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.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the era system is partially to mitigate the late-game AI issues.

Still perplexed Nintendo hasn’t released atomic purple joycons.

They showed that with their first translation. The second, more literal, translation is to demonstrate the pun.

Vista with updates was also shockingly stable. 7 on launch was really just Vista with a new taskbar skin.

There was that time Sega suddenly dropped the Saturn into the US market months ahead of schedule. Shot themselves in the foot doing it, too.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 3 weeks ago:
A mouse mode could be extremely useful for things like Civilization or Fire Emblem. Of course, the touch screen is also great for that and Three Houses and Triangle Strategy didn’t support it.

Would the NFC system in the stick interfere with hall effect sensors?

I’m guessing the all grey model probably sold better than the one with colorful joycons so they lead with that this time.

If you’re not happy with your side, you also get one last chance to switch when you are tasked with acquiring the Jagged Crown. If you’ve decided you don’t like your guy, you can bring it to the other guy.
- Comment on Skyrim teaches a Lemmy user about fascist propaganda 4 weeks ago:
KotOR’s control scheme is definitely weird. It’s a turn based game but the turns are obfuscated to appear like real time. On top of that, it’s in an engine intended for top-down isometric mouse-driven gameplay but it’s been kludged into an over-the-shoulder console game, then that control scheme was kludged back to mouse-driven for the PC port. It felt real good on the original Xbox way back in 2003, but if I hadn’t played it back then I would probably have some difficulty with it now.
The writing is shockingly good, though, especially for 2003. It was the best thing in the expanded universe for a good while.

Not choosing is what the Thalmor want. Reading the notes in their embassy makes it clear that they want the war to drag on as long as possible since it weakens both the Empire and Skyrim, improving the Dominion’s odds of victory in the next war. Any resolution to the civil war is less bad than allowing it to continue. There is no good option, just ones you can live with and ones you can’t.
- Comment on Skyrim teaches a Lemmy user about fascist propaganda 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, the Empire really only enforces the ban while the Thalmor are looking. Elisif is another Talos worshiper and she’s their choice for ruler of the province.

RROD was actually 3/4ths of a circle. A full red circle was a different and less troubling error.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces RTX 50's Graphic Card Blackwell Series: RTX 5090 ($1999), RTX 5080 ($999), RTX 5070 Ti ($749), RTX 5070 ($549) 5 weeks ago:
Unfortunately, that’s the anti-scalper countermeasure. Crippling their crypto mining potential didn’t impact scalping very much, so they increased the price with the RTX 40 series. The RTX 40s were much easier to find than the RTX 30s were, so here we are for the RTX 50s. They’re already on the edge of what people will pay, so they’re less attractive to scalpers. We’ll probably see an initial wave of scalped 3090s for $3500-$4000, then it will drop off after a few months and the market will mostly have un-scalped ones with fancy coolers for $2200-$2500 from Zotac, MSI, Gigabyte, etc.

Shatner is also pretty clearly using stage acting techniques instead of screen acting techniques in much of the show, screen acting as a distinct skill still being rather new at the time. You can also see Nimoy using much more modern feeling acting and Kelley using something in between.
- Comment on Age of Empires designer believes RTS games need to finally evolve after decades of stagnation 1 month ago:
Micro is actually tactics since it’s on the level of a single engagement. Strategy is more about the game as a whole, like scouting and map control.
- Comment on Age of Empires designer believes RTS games need to finally evolve after decades of stagnation 1 month ago:
I just want an RTS I can actually play with my wrist in its current condition. I can do the earliest C&C campaigns, but that’s partially because the AI isn’t good enough to require fast and precise mouse movements. I just physically can’t do micro anymore and attempting it hurts, but most RTS games are designed in such a way that micro is required.
