Demiurge4 posted:I watched Arumba stream Stellaris earlier and it was goddamn hilarious. He hasn't read any patch notes or dev blogs and blithely assumes things about the mechanics that aren't true, then gets super pissy when things don't work for him. This is pretty much how Arumba is all the time though, and why I find him insufferable to watch.

CJTheran posted:Classical Latin would be ro-ra-ree-ee, princeps would be as prinkeps (c is always hard in classical latin). So he was almost there on the rorarii, have no loving clue where he got principe from a world with an s at the end. Some American names have mutated princeps into principe (I believe that's also the modern Italian) which may be the source.

Staltran posted:Good grief what's with this guy's Latin pronounciation? How does he manage to pronounce princeps as prinsipe or something, and rorarii as... rorariai? I have no idea how to even spell the way he pronounces it in English. Latin spelling would be rorariae maybe (I don't speak Latin at all)? Why play with the sqpr namelist if you're going to completely mangle it like that? From that description it sounds like he's grabbing them from rome total war.

Okay, being reminded of authoritarian voice pack, then seeing possible Darkest Dungeon voicepack lines, I have a deadly serious question for this thread. Is there any species portrait mod out there whatsoever that would allow me to RP as these guys when Apocalypse comes?

So as someone who hasn't really touched this since launch, what's the go with the currently available dlc and the new overhaul? Do we know how they interact yet? I mean even if I get back into it after the overhaul I probably won't get any dlc til the next sale but I am curious.

I mean even if I get back into it after the overhaul I probably won't get any dlc til the next sale but I am curious. What are you wanting to know exactly? The only thing that would be relevant is that the basic ascension perks are being rolled into the base game while the ascension paths and megastructures of utopia remain purchase only. Otherwise none of the changes affect other DLC.

Pretty much whether the dlc will be more or less worth it after the overhaul, was wondering how mechanical changes the dlcs made interacted with the new version but you just answered that pretty much.

Game's been out for close to two years now, it's not really uncommon for developers to stop patching at that point, and if you take the view that Cherryh is Stellaris 2, it's also super normal for all the other stuff to dry up on a new release of the same franchise, and that's as true of Paradox as it is of any developer.

Nah, there's games from the 90s that still have active modding and community updates. But yeah I get it, I'll stop discussing Stellaris in the Stellaris thread.

You can discuss it all you want but you're likely to get pushback if you propose the idea that the game is poorly supported or that better supported games are at all commonplace, because that requires some rather convoluted reasoning to arrive at.

turn off the TV posted:holy poo poo Remember the Clark Patch, version 1.1? They release this patch and then abandon it to instead work on Asimov 1.2. Asimov was looking ok with a few updates but paradox dropped it off at the side of the road to work on Heinlein, absolutely leaving fans of Asimov out in the cold. It's like with every major update Paradox totally abandons the previous updates and just keeps moving on! And to all you people looking forward to 2.0 I say don't get your hopes up because one day they'll announce 2.1 and your precious 2.0 will be left to rot with no development or support. I don't understand how anyone can support this extremely shifty business model where the company keeps slowly improving the game for free along with modestly priced optional addons.
