BirdOfPlay posted:It's part of the "Safe Harbor" rules of DMCA. A takedown notice requires immediate action, and review would, generally, take longer than the law allows. Just for full disclosure, I started to write a reply to this about how the alleged infringing material has to be removed/disabled "expeditiously" not "immediately" which allows Steam time to verify the claims, but I read a little more and it's moot. As long as the claim was filed, Steam is forced to act, and it's up to the devs to file a counterclaim, which then takes at least 10 days to play out. Cojawfee posted:Doesn't a false DMCA takedown request come with criminal penalties? How is this Alex Mauer person able to keep submitting false requests with impunity? It's possibly perjury, but that's hard to prove. She can also be liable for any legal fees incurred by the opposing parties, but I'm guessing a freelancer who has recently tanked her career probably doesn't have the money anyway.

ZearothK posted:Actually, the Southlands (fantasy Africa) are going to be in game 2, with Tomb Kings as a likely DLC for it. Then the only core factions left will be Demons of Chaos, Chaos Dwarfs and Ogre Kingdoms, which suggests the map will go east and north. CA has permission to create new material, however, and they are releasing a final race DLC for game 1 which is not an army book faction (speculation is either Norsca or Tilea/Estalia), so I wouldn't be surprised if Kislev is a headliner for the third game along the three I mentioned. Russians buy a lot of Total Wars and they need a "normal" faction to ground the game, after all. With how much money is in the franchise, I wouldn't be surprised if CA gets to make Nippon, Cathay, and Ind stuff. Ideally significantly less racist since there were never army books.

Man, I think Dead Cells has gotten a lot easier since the last time I played it - seems like there are a lot more upgrade scrolls now, I just stormed through all the hardest areas in the game and beat the watcher for the first time, with about tier 10/11 in both strength and health. They'll probably dial it back a bit unless I just got really lucky. Great game, but I think I need to put it away now so I don't get burned out before the full release.

Xander77 posted:Nope. It displays a "saving" message on a lot of screens, but that doesn't create an actual save you can reload, to the best of my ability to locate one. Learned that the hard way. No it does. Like GrandpaPants said, the save/load screen is tabbed. By default it shows manual saves, but if you click on the left tab it'll show autosaves and it autosaves after every room.

Someone has to actually sue them, costing thousands to tens of thousands of dollars and very inconvenient outside your state/very difficult and more expensive outside your country. Then if you win they are unlikely to have the money to pay you back and it's difficult to enforce judgement. Against a company the costs go up 10x. I'd really like to see someone raise the ire of Jim Sterling enough that there is actually a case about transformative work on youtube against a large company as he would be able to raise the funds to pursue it.

That video looks pretty cool, and I think I'm going to pick up TW:W 1. That being said, watching that game-play video makes me a bit concerned. I've never felt like I was any good at micro-managing troops in RTS games. In my head, there's a rock-paper-scissors methodology for what unit is strong or weak against, but I can never keep it straight in my head. I also end up getting focused on one part of the battlefield, while something starts going wrong on the other side. It gets disorienting when you're looking at the battlefield and trying to figure out who winning or losing, and how to best use your troops. When I was trying to play Shogun 2, I'd have to pause the game to assess what was going on and order troops around, but I've gotten the impression that's really not how you're supposed to play the game.

In the workshop, I see a 1.71 (latest), 1.55, and 1.62 by Shockpuppet. I haven't played it in a while, but the newer CC versions can get a little bloated. 1.71 has probably 10x more buildings than the base game but none of them are necessary. They're mostly alternate ways of gathering resources that don't do a whole lot mechanically, but add a lot of variety to your village. Some of them work sort of like optional difficulty toggles; they're just there to give you more complicated production chains to work with. If you're new to it I'd recommend getting used to Vanilla first, but if you're already there and want a whole lot of options for making villages look more varied or you want more complex supply chains, go ahead and get 1.71 and revel in it. My biggest gripe with CC is that it adds tons of new resource types, but resource "categories" (like food, tools, fuel) are hard-coded, so all of the new resources need to be shoved in stockpiles with old types. This becomes a problem when you're setting your storage limits to, say, hold 1,000 fuel because you want a big stock of firewood, but different types of burnable fuel used by production buildings count toward the same storage limit. If you have excess production of a different kind of fuel, like coal, it can flood your storage and leave you short of firewood when Winter rolls around, and there's no fine control allowing you to store set amounts of specific resources. (While you can kind of work around this by storing them at trade depots, which do let you store set amounts of specific resources, they're not accessible to your villagers until you remove them from the trade depot) This is a bad example because your people can also burn coal in the winter and I can't remember specifically what resources were frustrating me, but the best way to combat it seems to be going overboard building storage and setting limits super high. My point being, though, that later versions of CC's logistics would become a nightmare if you're not familiar with the base game. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Jul 15, 2017 |

Fire Pro Wrestling World is on Early Access- there are still some glitches being ironed out and UI improvements to be made but it's basically done. If you don't know Fire Pro it's a 2.5-D wrestling sim which tends to play a lot faster than the official WWE games, while also feeling a bit more like a wrestling match with lots of back and forth without having to rely on a dedicated "reversal" button. It offers kind of an insane level of customization- graphically it's more versatile than you'd think, and you can not only decide a wrestler's moves but their AI when computer controlled, and there are noticeable differences in how everyone plays. (The main roster is a bunch of obvious stand ins for known wrestlers, but the game lets you create as many guys as you have HD space for and every file is around 7 kb.) Obviously if you're not into wrestling games I doubt this'll be different, but I'm kinda hooked- I've long wanted to try Fire Pro after playing more WWE 2k14 than the game strictly merits.

Thanks for pointing out the Jotun thingy, still have to finish my shift first. I'm pretty proud of my level 11 Light Armor/Shield using, banner-dropping, dual-wielding archer in Dungeonmans that I hope to turn into an amateur Necromancer if I don't mess up and die. She's my eighth hero. I like how you can just grab skills from whatever class. I forget, was there a date mentioned for the new Steam UI stuff?

People loved Shogun 2, I gotta admit something felt off about it to me and I'm not really sure what. Rome 2 I had a lot of fun with but people in general complained about it a lot, and Atilla felt bland despite apparently having a lot of Quality of Live improvements. I'm really just waiting for them to bring back the family tree system from Medieval 2, God I loved that thing and it would have made Rome far better (their politics system sucked). Except please let me pick my own heirs so I don't have to keep sending the random drunken rear end in a top hat who got assigned the new King into battle by himself until the RNG picks the right guy. Though now that I think about it, maybe that's working as intended.

I've tried to go back to earlier Total War games (specifically my previous favourite, Fall of the Samurai and the now-ancient Alexander Total War) and they don't hold a candle to Total Warhammer. If you like that series at all, you should absolutely give it a shot. I'm a big history buff as well, so you'd think that would make me go for the earlier, more historical games, but in reality Total War games were always more about plundering history for the coolest poo poo they could even half-reasonably fit into the time period (sure, random Japanese civil war leader, we'll lend you the Royal Marines and HMS Warrior for your infighting, why not?) and Warhammer has more of that kind of stuff than any other Total War game. It also has flying units, which are cool, and monster units like giants and dragons that are pretty fun too. Oh, and the battle load times are much faster than previous games.

Celceta and V are the only Ys games not on Steam at this point. The sidescroller you were thinking about got remade as a more traditional Ys game in Oath in Felghana (Ys III) which is already on Steam. If Seven does well, Celceta is probably next. As for V, that's the only Ys game Falcom have yet to remake but it'll probably happen in the next few years.
