Are there any recent good 4X games?

I bounce off anything with fantasy content in the 4X genre, except Endless Legend... I guess I prefer these types of games to be more historical materialist lol

I've been playing Old World after seeing Akhnaten the other day. Pretty good cross between Civ's earlier era's and CK family management. The production also seems a little more intelligently balanced so becoming a military power means investing in military instead of just pushing production and drowning people in troops. it's been a pretty good time so far.

I parked my car on the street one night after like a year of it being mostly unused in the driveway in 2021 and some richdad drunk dude totaled it, tried to drive away, tapped another car, then abandoned their escalade or w/e behemoth on foot. Next day was getting some crap out before the insurance company came to town it and the dudes dad handed me an insurance card and of course the cops did nothing since escaping on foot but ending up in the hospital drunk shortly after isn't enough to solve the mystery I guess.

The amount insurance gave for the car was garbage even after dragging it out as long and high as I could but even trying to get the same old car and year is more expensive than it ever was.

hey i need a new laptop do any of you have any recommendations

i need one that can play games and run windows

most system extensive game i would play on it is house flipper on max settings so i can see the cockroaches it wants me to get rid of or maybe my time at portia if it is fun

budget is $500 minimum and $1000 maximum but i can do a little wiggling on budget

needs to be a laptop that can play steam games but not be a gamer laptop those are overpriced

battery life not a concern and needs windows 10/11 so steam runs on it

thanks in advance

If you're okay with buying second hand, there's a good laptop on sale in SA MART.

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4037615

It's got decent specs and I've heard good things about the model. I can vouch for the seller insofar as I just bought a $150 GPU from them.

I've softened my stance on shenmue. Yes it's tedious by design and disrespectful of the player's time, and okay sure nearly every detail and piece of dialogue is superfluous, and yeah the plot and characters never become interesting, but hey at least it's unique
