Apparently I have GalCiv 2 in my Steam library and never knew. :confused:

I somehow sunk 68 hours into Stellaris over the holidays and have really enjoyed it, despite the last game of this time that I played being Master of Orion.

Yeah that's right, the original one.

Stellaris is about to see a HUGE update with a slew of mechanical changes and quality-of-life improvements in, like, 3 days, if my interpretation of obscure hints on Martin Anward's twitter is to be believed.

I'm still annoyed they changed the ascension perk which let you clear all blockers at zero cost. That poo poo was broken af

Yes, but it wasn't ever a thing you played for how it looked, even when new.

Psychonauts was decent until that last level.
Had no problem with the platforming, just hated having to constantly defend that super-shrill annoying kid in the meat circus level.

Galciv chat: The DeathStars were actually Starkillers in GalCiv2, my bad.
Really surprised that Stardock never released the Spaceship designer as a standalone app.

Yeah I'll quit before meat circus. I'm mostly in it for the milkman conspiracy and Napoleon.

I watched a coworker play it. How do you feel about crawling through the woods for 2 solid hours without ever seeing anybody and calling that "mission accomplished"?

One of my buddies plays it and I had looked at getting it, but decided to wait. He says queues can be fairly long because they don't have enough servers or something. There are also a bunch of gamebreaking bugs still running around like ways to become invulnerable, duping items, etc. Seems like it has potential however it is taking them a little bit to get some of their poo poo together.

I don't have the patience for dork souls. I got the first one years ago, got to the first bonfire, took a turn, got my rear end handed to me for three hours by two bony bois and then I uninstalled.

I do like the memes though.

The Rat: Aug 29, 2004; You will find no one to help you here. Beth DuClare has been dissected and placed in cryonic storage.

Started my first XCOM 2 WOTC iron man game.

I mean to say, my fifth, since my first four ended with disaster VERY early on and me saying "Oh, right, I can't play that way anymore since I can't save scum."

This one, I made it to magnetic weapons before the mass decline started. Two causes:

1. When I was hitting 2 a bunch for my squad to overwatch, I forgot that the Templars have 2 set as fire pistol. On a lost mission. And uh, yeah.
2. Forgot that buying predator armor required 6 advent trooper corpses and sold too many.

So yeah, looks like I'm restarting again.

:xcom:
