Tradewars is like the old EQ to me, nostalgia for it that can't really be reproduced, but an itch that is occasionally scratched in some form by games like Stellaris.

Going to be firing this up a bit more if anyone would like to follow. Probably a lot of co-op with friends. Last night we played some Sea of Thieves... Here's Dodgers learning the truth about 'mermaids' in the game. And here's Dodgers learning about that barrel the skeletons are carrying.

We had one player who kept going out of sync (everyone who didn't get the loading screen can see notifications about the player losing sync, and then sync returning), and that's what would happen to them. They were having internet issues. I think it's a symptom of not being able to stream the...

This XP buff, sheesh. I'm 32 with no mount and can't become a Paladin yet.

Crusader Kings 3 also available for preloading. Forgot that was coming to Game Pass.

Yeah, EGS has a workshop of some sort coming, but otherwise Civ already has other sources of mods. Modding (Civ6)

Coupons are one at a time, you get one after every qualifying purchase (use one, get one). It's Epic giving you $10 to spend on each item, even if it's already on sale, basically.

Virgin Orbit launching it's first test from the wing of a 747 to orbit this weekend.

Update 2 notes. I really like the change allowing you to add generals or upgrade/promote after moving. For more details, read the full update notes. When redrawing techs, the research bar will now update to say “Redrawing” until the next turn Clicking on the research bar in this state will...

I think for us there was something about establishing footholds on other planets/moons that really clicked with us. Especially playing it with 2-4, having enough to do to occupy everyone and let everyone really get into a specific objective (finding Hematite, setting up a research operation on...

Got to 20 this weekend as part of the free week on my first attempt to get into this again since I think a year or so after launch. Got to 35 on a Ranger/bard then. Going Gladiator/Paladin and with a month of leave coming up in June hoping to get a bit further.

My gaming ADD roulette now includes (links to forum threads): Old World - fun Civ / Crusader Kings mashup over on EGS Final Fantasy 14 - for at least the 8 days my account is active Astroneer - (going to bump this thread) friends and I have hit this hard the last 2 weekends Sea of Thieves, only...

Surprised there isn't more on this forum for this game. Friends and I finally dug into this over the last couple weekends. Next week they're adding dedicated servers, and the week after that we're getting some automation. It's on PC/Console Game Pass. Came across this, not sure when I first...

Yeah, I forget about the FOH Steam group, and then I play Monster Hunter and enter the gathering hub and see the facehugger next to my name, lol.

For those who are interested, during the Epic sale you get $10 off, so this is $30.

Not sure yet, playing on a big map and only just bumped into my first other civ as I quit.

So far this has been pretty cool. I have a pet monkey and an illegitimate child. For clarity's sake, those are two different things.

With the size and the detail of the world they've built, it's the most justified install size of any game I own probably.

That's their sale, any qualifying purchase then gets you another $10 coupon. Most of the store is basically $10 off + any discount at the moment. I picked up Old World... really like it so far.

:( Missing the '3080 ti available on this date and at this price' that I was unrealistically expecting.

It's 1440p / 30fps btw, since that is import to some people for some reason.

That was kind of my impression also, just that not everything there is exactly legit. Strange to see them pop up on the front page of Slickdeals from time to time.

Unreal Engine 5.

Sony released the Playstations Studios branding/opening, to launch w/ the PS5.

Confirmed to be getting a season 2.

Jupiter in IR, pretty awesome stuff. Researchers using a technique known as “lucky imaging” with the Gemini North telescope on Hawaii’s Maunakea have collected some of the highest resolution images of Jupiter ever obtained from the ground. These images are part of a multi-year joint observing...

Agree with the sentiment, I want to see more gameplay and now that they've had this event I'd expect to see more from some of the devs themselves where it makes sense.

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/05/05/xbox-2020-the-future-of-xbox/ For the Xbox 20/20 May update, we will focus on giving you a first look at next-gen gameplay, trailers and sneak peeks from a wide variety of publishing partners and independent developers across the globe and industry...

I enjoyed pretty much all of this except the last episode. Just not a fan of any of the directions they're heading with it. His 'best friend' throughout reminded me of Steve Zahn.

I can't believe how much stupid they crammed into a single episode. I've been pretty forgiving, but wow. So many interesting or neat ideas ruined or discarded for this plot that nobody really cares about. With a couple exceptions it felt like they went out of their way to not end anyone else's...

Raptor mounted on SN4 for static fire.

I'm enjoying Neoverse a lot from this bundle. Slay the Spire formula basically.

Latest Humble Choice

I don't buy anything from Ubisoft anymore on PC, just re-up uPlay+ for a month or two.

Looks awesome, now they need to bring some form of uPlay+ to consoles.

Phoenix Point is on Game Pass too I think. Haven't played enough of both to compare. Both pretty great so far.
