I've noticed stuttering issues in modded Empire War, but I also run heavily modded Stalker just fine with 60-70 FPS. Wine is a fickle beast.

Ah, I've fallen for the classic blunder :)

It puts all the weight of the game being fun on the gameplay mechanics/loop. For number-crunching genres like roguelikes it works. If a Zelda game did it, it would suck. I put a couple hundred hours in Deep Rock Galactic, so I believe it can work under the right circumstances.

The hard truth is that the average person only cares about what affects them personally.

To use a more "fun" example, Nintendo fans freaked out about having to pay $80 when Nintendo's been scummy towards their most dedicated fans for years prior. The truth is, Nintendo nixing AM2R and Pokémon Uranium didn't affect the average fan, so they didn't care.

$80 games? That directly harms their personal finances, so now they're actually upset (I think people will buy the games anyway barring a recession, but I didn't major in economics so what do I know).

Might as well still try. Trump can't win in 28 even if he runs, swing states with nonpartisan legislatures won't allow him on the ballot. Maybe some of the R's realize that the closer we get to 28.

The most recent versions of UBR had no portraits, so that file just adds them back from an older version. Cyberfaces are for if you notice any missing player models. Have fun!

I did some digging and still had them saved. I updated the archive here: https://archive.org/details/nba-2k14-mod

As a Christian, I really wish more people would read history and realize they're wielding a double-edged sword... I wonder how many conservatives have The Hiding Place on their shelf?

I guess now we have to talk like EV3RY  BUDDY  'S FAVORITE [Number 1 Rated Salesman1997]

Gee, I must not've played that game.

Oh.

I couldn't get into it, but I do have several dozen hours on X4 :)

Legendary game, only thing that comes close to M&B Warband as a sandbox IMO (shoutouts to Daggerfall)

Welcome! I came in with the blackout a year or so ago, it's been fun to see more people show up over the months!

Outer Wilds is on sale. Great game if you like space, puzzles or platforming!

Nope!

It haunts my dreams.

If anything, media made for a malleable audience with low critical-thinking skills should be held to a higher standard, not lower. I still remember how much I loved The Hobbit as a child. Even at the age kids don't remember stuff, you still set the groundwork for the rest of their lives. The argument insults kids and betrays the speaker's low opinion of them.

It's a shame discourse is still stuck where it was when SWSH came out. I hope the fandom can move forward some day and accept that a billion-dollar franchise isn't immune from critique.

Fair enough. There's always the two-hour grace period for refunds. The first "real" level after the tutorial eases you in pretty well, so if the gameplay doesn't click there I'd take it as a sign. It's a unique game that punishes hard for mistakes, so it won't click with everybody.

There's a story/cinematic difficulty, but I haven't tested it out. The standard difficulty is a challenge, but in my experience it felt fair. I've never played a Soulslike so I don't have a point of comparison on that front lol.

Prey (2017), killer immersive sim. Reminiscent of System Shock 2 mainly.

If you enjoy the combat, Sifu takes that/the Arkham Batman style to a new level. Definitely has a crazy high kill count, but the story is all about revenge so there's not too much ludonarrative dissonance.
