20 Apr 2023 at 1:22 pm UTC

Quoting: emphy
Quoting: mamillerAll of my friends are playing EU4, but to be fair: it's too complicated for me :cry:
I'm going to stay with Civilization 5
Heh, I am still with the original dos civ.

I feel that FreeCiv with Civ2 ruleset, square tiles and top-down view, is a worthy successor. :tongue:

Looks cool, I'll play the free puzzles for sure. If there was an option to buy the rest then why not, but monthly sub is a no-go.

Gotta say... it looks absolutely terrible. Maybe I'd enjoy it but the trailer is wholly unconvincing.
I think I'll stick to Rocks'n'Diamonds for now.

Factorio is about to increase in price so be quick

I managed to snatch it before the first price increase. I rarely buy games at full price, so clearly their strategy is working. ;-)

Stone Kingdoms is an in-development open source remake of Stronghold
18 Jan 2023 at 12:38 pm UTC

Yes, I remember the original Stronghold [External Link], I've always wanted to play it after reading the review in a paper magazine, but it didn't have an Amiga version, eh...

Now it's re-released for Linux (on GOG at least) but I don't think it's aged well...

State of the industry: MSI offered a chance to win the ability to buy a GPU

Quoting: MalWith this it's the third year in a row with PC gaming being non affordable. They continue like that again and by 2025 there won't be PC gamers anymore.

Perhaps Valve should start designing GPUs and save PC gaming yet again?

Just yesterday I was thinking that I would be totally in for buying a pre-built AMD-based gaming PC from Valve, especially if they gave it the same amount of attention as with SteamDeck.

This concept is so alien that I had to read the title three times before grasping the message.
