I reinstalled Endless Space 2. New update made it so I don't have to turn my One Drive off to initialize the cloud saving or whatever, it works again! It is a very pretty game. I cannot understate that. From the artwork, to the UI, to the music, to the character design, to the way that everything swoops in and jiggles around it is such an aesthetically spacy pretty. It is also... not the best videogame in the genre. There are so many screens, with so many buttons, and the tutorial pane is over the top of things. The tech tree is... it is frustrating. Things unlock at a glacial pace until you establish/break research then it's like fine. It gestures at not needing to fill it out, but every tech is a lynchpin unlock for another esoteric system, it is all interconnected and like 15-23 turns each. I don't really know what to do next and I remember on the fast speed you really needed to optimize your movements and builds so I put it on slow speed and ugh... Also reading all the flavor text, I am seeing the snarky and flippant tone germ that really ruined Humankind for me. I just wanna vibe. I know the AI aint gonna push or press me if I don't wanna. I love this game very much, it is very pretty and it tries so hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP9n1CANQO0

Yeah I want to like endless space 2, but it very much feels like the surface is extremely pretty, but the underlying mechanics are tedious and don't really work well. Which is pretty typical of all Amplitude games. I far prefer playing Stellaris. I kind of fancy playing a map game, but unsure which. EUIV seems pretty broken nowadays? Victoria doesn't let you paint the map. Communist Bear has issued a correction as of 14:13 on Apr 28, 2024 |

I was getting woozy lately, just not feeling good at all, but only at certain times of day for whatever reason. Turns out it was Fallout 76 doing it, something about the graphics settings just gave me massive vertigo like I hadn't had since I tried playing the original Doom when I was a kid.

Which is pretty typical of all Amplitude games. EU4 is in a pretty good spot now, and there's an Anbennar update in June.
