I tried to play X3: Reunion, and it was utterly unplayable due to a rolling bug that set my ship spinning unless I actively held it in place. It was reported to the devs by a number of people, but to the best of my knowledge never fixed.

Hopefully they're a little more responsive with this one.

Oh my god, Feral is releasing a Total War game!

That is totally unexpected!

Honestly, I'm tempted to get Civ VI, but do I really need another game to play right now? I've got a pile of stuff in my backlog already, and I'm sure this isn't the last time I'll see it this low.

I played it ages ago (around InDev 15-ish I think), and it was fun enough. Clearly it's changed a lot with multiple villages and a lot of new/different mechanics. Every now and then I look at it and wonder if I want to re-install and give it another try, but I never do in the end.

Even back then, it seemed like a game that needs a really robust tutorial. Anyone who's been keeping up, does it have that? And how's the balancing of the enemy monsters? It was a little lopsided back then in favour of the monsters.

Does it have a death counter? It needs a death counter.

Ah, I just noticed that the Itch front page is showing me Windows-only games again. Didn't the old client filter by what OS you were running the client in, unless told otherwise? Now I get to look at all this stuff I can't play natively.

Holy crap, I install and after entering my email and pass I have to go through FOUR captchas. That's a bit excessive.

Actually I went through seven because I had a typo when I entered my email. So three captchas the first time and four the next. I would say one is unnecessary and two is too much. This many is ridiculous.

Basically I see Itch as Bandcamp, but for games. Love the fact that small projects and developers have a place to go without having to deal with the sort of hoops the big stores need to put in place.

I see they've been working a lot on discoverability, which is really key for a service like this. Stuff like capsule should help, and I'll be interested to see what else they add in that vein in the future.

Still playing a bunch of oldschool (WotLK) WoW on a private server via Wine, plus a bit of Avernum 4 via Proton on the side. Starting to get the itch to take another run at Pillars of Eternity though, so I may switch over once I get it re-installed.
