Neutronium would like a word.

  • Oh man, I hate that ""review"" format

    • Notepad autocorrected what I was typing for my foreign language exercise

    Jump

  • Are you thinking of WordPad? Until Windows 11, Notepad has always been plain text.

    • Cozy video games can quell stress and anxiety

    Jump

  • I have had many thoughts along the lines of "how can I fully optimise my cellar" and "dino eggs are worth more money than dino mayo" and it just sucks all the wonder out of the game

    • Do you use your turn signal in a turn-only lane? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • Sure. It's not hurting anyone, and especially on a roundabout it can be very helpful to other drivers.

    • What are the best games that are not on big-name game stores like Steam, GoG, Epic, etc.?

    • What's a cancelled game you really miss?

  • Blacklight Retribution was pretty great. I played quite early in its lifespan, during an event which gave me a special nameplate - nothing more than a participation trophy, and at the time, loads of people used it.

    Signed in a few years later to.play a few rounds, and some guy begged me to let them use my account because of that now-rare nameplate.

    (I also had an extremely cool helmet and some seriously powerful guns I got for free in that game's equivalent of a lootbox)

    • HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war

    Jump

  • Civ 4 at least has an "Aggressive AI" setting, where all rival nations will be a bit more... well, aggressive and warmonger-y.

    • What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion?

    Jump

  • I like Anno 2070, a game which takes place in a world where the sea levels have risen to a barely-sustainable level. But it's okay, because you can repopulate with the power of solarpunk machinery!

    • Suggestions for mouse only games?

    Jump

  • X-COM 2 is fully playable with just the mouse.

    If you're looking for something a bit lighter, there's The Enchanted Cave 2, a nice little roguelite with an interesting loot system.

    From memory, Fallout and Fallout 2 are fully mouse-playable too.

    • Why do AI company logos look like buttholes?

    Jump

  • I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me.

    • Most under-utilized consoles?

    Jump

  • It was pretty big, and I believe it was Nintendo's main competitor for a while. Just didn't quite break out to the rest of the world, and it never got a proper followup

    • Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

    Jump

  • They're actually really nice, well-made X-COM lites. Great if you don't want to immediately throw your kids to the Chryssalids.

    Rabbids still kinda suck as a concept, but the games are good enough that I can look past it

    • Most under-utilized consoles?

    Jump

  • My votes go for the Amiga and the PC Engine.

    The Amiga was tricky to develop for, particularly if you wanted to use all its custom chips to their full potential. So many Amiga games are just questionable ports of Atari ST or even 8-bit home micro games.

    The PC Engine was really ahead of its time, but it's now kind of an obscure little thing, and a bit quaint when put up against the SNES and Mega Drive.

    • What efforts would it take to strip the name Americans from the folks inhabiting the US?
