Game is too easy, Hard is the patrician's difficulty

Ikarrus

While Stellaris is unfucking their shit I’ve been playing this

Game is noticeably easier than FTL, but so far has been exceedingly satisfying to play.

I dont know how to feel about doing different game lengths like they do, though

x.1 Hotfix is in, I guess I can finally play now REST ASSURED, WE ARE NOT DONE WITH POST-LAUNCH SUPPORT FOR 2.0 Every patch balances completeness with speed, there are more fixes coming when we have time to implement and test them. Here's the contents of this patch: Fixed processing/grid amalgamatio...

Coming soon

Found this post on their forums, people are experiencing things like neverending wars Mechanic Issues: -Swarm/Purging not giving food -Purifier/Grid Amalgamation also not giving energy & Unity -Barbaric Despoiler no surrender with Plunder war goal even at 100% requires complete occupation of ter...

How buggy is the new update?

Should I wait for the inevitable 2.0.1?

Ikarrus

I miss these rules and I regret supporting the bureaucratic mess it became

Ikarrus

Splatoon 2 dominates my free time these days

Ikarrus

Mmmmh I'd love to get in on a game of Stellaris like this

but those dates are absolutely unattainable for me

You guys make me miss the NEET life

Ikarrus

I like it

Ikarrus

I've always held the belief that players as a whole (and consumers in general) cannot be trusted to know what they want.

You gotta give them what they want. (Good luck)

Ikarrus

This has been a thing since day one. People don't like scarcity or any kind of inconvenience. It was one of the big reasons why people preferred metastation over boxstation. And any resource that was limited or restricted was eventually made more available over time by "QoL" or "balan...

Ikarrus

I hate seeing xenos but I can always forgive them for being the best way to cuck antagonists

Ikarrus

Doomstacks finally addressed. How successful is yet to be seen, but looks like it could mitigate the issue.

The more I play MGQ Paradox the more I like it

I'm loving all the party customisation options, and the story is legit interesting

Ikarrus

I avoid most AAA games because I've accepted the fact that they don't really cater to me anymore, and haven't for the last 10 years. That doesn't stop me from spending an inordinate amount of time at home on my ass in front of a monitor and enjoying it. I think the only AAA game I've played in the l...

I am beyond a name

BUY MY LOOTBOXES

Ikarrus

Monster Girl Quest Paradox Just like the original, it's actually really fun. It's also no longer a Visual Novel and a lot more of a legitimate video game now, with lots of JRPG elements, jobs, recruitment, free-roaming, and a pretty decent story that's -from what I could tell so far- not exactly lin...

Ikarrus

You're welcome

Ikarrus

I'm not an admin anymore, but your site recognises me as a Game Master rank still because I was one when I last logged on.

So I still have access to admin secrets. just fyi

Ikarrus

Endless Space 2 got a lot better since I last played it. The AI is still dumb as a rock, though. Blockaded a system for a few turns and somehow managed to negotiate all but one of their systems in a truce deal which I just broke right away anyways.

Also the Riftborn are qt as fuck

Ikarrus

I somehow got roped into three days straight of board games

Mostly Pandemic Legacy 2 and Twilight Imperium 4

It's hard to believe I managed to find friends more obsessive than I am. But it's awesome.

Ikarrus

Stellaris is a shitty game but I can't stop playing it every time they pump out another pointless update

Ikarrus

Ikarrus

Finally they are getting rid of that awful warscore system

Ikarrus

Isn’t there already fog of war? What’s different about Stellaris and any other game with FoW?

Ikarrus

This week: FTL overhaul

Next week: Wargoal system overhaul

Ikarrus

There's something magical about official lewds, however.

Ikarrus

it's okay I forgive you

Ikarrus

Because shit just got added over time and got lumped into science. Medbay is only divided as it is because there used to be a "medsci" subdivision where CMO and RD shared jurisdiction. Which was also a result of the CMO role being created and carved out of a lot of what used to be under th...

Ikarrus

Scientist didn't always used to be a job, it used to be broken up into smaller jobs. Please show me when Telesci was ever a separate job. Or xenobio Minimal access only procs if it's lowpop Config setting. Also can be overridden with said config. I should fucking know I coded it and left explicit i...

Ikarrus

btw we can already get this sort of thing with Minimal Access turned off in the config.

These were discussions we've already had years back when roro was around

Ikarrus

For those who don't know, scientists used to be separated into Toxins Researchers, Xenobiologists, Researchers and Telescientists (RIP telesci) but they were merged into a singular job due to the individual sub-departments lack of depth (there were a number of reasons beyond that but I won't get in...

Ikarrus

Doesn't matter how much money you make if you stupidly blow it all on wallpapers

Ikarrus

Also brace yourselves for an FTL overhaul. It sounds like they'll be doing that at the same time as the border/fleet size changes as a part of a singular "War" update.

Will war finally be interesting?

Ikarrus

It's chill as fuck and Sei is a good girl

Jill is also acceptable but I fucked up and got her evicted the first try.

Looking forward to their next spooky game. Retro PS1 era art style

Ikarrus

System Shock 1 is/was literally the basis for Malfunction mode and the AI

Ikarrus

Enhanced Edition is a lot smoother and polished and has full voiceovers for the conversations. Also adds more classes, dual-wielding, quests, companion banter etc. It's just overall better There was a ~5 year gap since I last played Classic, but the changes feel really subtle. The voice acting actu...

He used to be better before he was promoted to director.

I’m sure he has a lot more bullshit to wade through at work as much as he would on twitter.

XSI wrote:>Capping fleet sizes instead of balancing shit

So what is there stopping people from just throwing multiple fleets in instead, turning the whole thing into a slow meatgrinder?

To Be Announced

Ikarrus

Starports. They are tied to systems rather than planets now. They can also now have multiple shipyards and produce 10+ ships in parallel.

I'm betting they can also be downgraded/upgraded between starports and simple territory markers

Ikarrus

Next big update teased to have fleet caps in hopes it ends doomstacking

/pol/ was fun during and immediately after the election but now it's back to being uninteresting

Ikarrus

Div:OS1 feels so much more archaic and uninteresting, I completely forgot. Cyseal was a mistake.

Did the EE change anything at all?

Ikarrus

The first day Ian was added.....

Ikarrus

I just put shit into long term RRSPs and I get company stock as a purchase plan and bonus.

I should probably do more but I know fuck all. I’m actually surprised that I managed to own a car and house at all.

Ikarrus

This is for hanging humies please dont misinterpret

Side effects of developing dept sec in the boxstation environment. Box engineering didn't allow much room for the "hallway access" model I was going for, where they can watch but not interact, so I just gave them engine room access and changed the SMES room and PA chamber doors to require ...
