Quoting: PhiladelphusIs . . . is that allowed?!QuotePirates vs. Ninjas Fest: January 22 - 29Hopefully Mimimi stay in business long enough for this, since most of their games would fit. Shadow Gambit even has a pirate crew member who is a ninja!

Quoting: PhiladelphusIt's definitely…very "Civ" looking. One the one hand, Civ didn't become the giant of 4X games for nothing, there's no need to reinvent the wheel, if it ain't broke don't fix it, etc. etc.. But on the other hand, it's…very, very similar looking, at least from those screen shots. (Though it sounds like they're bringing back Armies from Civilization III, which could be mildly interesting, at least.)I'm kind of wondering about this bit:
QuoteDeep Economy: Design your economy to support your strategy. Gather raw materials, then build Improvements to refine basic Goods like logs or iron into lumber, paper, books, ingots, tools, or weapons – specialized products that allow you to improve and adjust your economic engine to suit whatever history sends your way.Could be good or could be really annoying (or both, depending on how much you enjoy micromanaging)

Quoting: SalvatosI remember The Night of the Rabbit getting really weird towards the end, but enjoying it overall.What surprises me about this is that a game called "The Night of the Rabbit" wasn't really weird from the beginning.

QuoteThey called Proton an "emulator" though…best not to argue on what exactly Proton is right now.Pine!

Quoting: syntonymInteresting. Well, that's not going to make me complain.Quoting: ExpandingManclearly close to XCOM in a lot of ways
When I played the demo I got much more vibes of Invisible Inc instead of XCOM.

It's probably not terrible timing for a Civilization-like game. Civilization V has been out forever, even Civilization VI is getting old-ish, and Civ VI never quite had the same reception. Really, Civ VI kind of took away the aura of invulnerability from the Civ series. And I think Civ VII is in the works, but it's a while yet. This is the window of opportunity.
We may see Counter-Strike 2 release next week

Quoting: scaineI was actually just making a bad XCOM joke.Quoting: Purple Library GuyI guess if they switched it to "x.com" that would cause the apocalypse (or at least the Enemy Unknown).
They do own x.com sadly.

Quoting: benstor214Protection against injection methods? You mean they're anti-vaxxers?Quoting: MayeulCLiam, the URL contained parenthesis that I had to manually transform to %{28,29}, I think the parser could be improved :)Hmm... looking at URL you mention (especially the part where a string is passed)[...]/signin?return_to=
this might be done by the very website you linked to for reason of protection against injection methods... I don't think the GOL Forum is to blame here.

Quoting: tuubiPoking around just a tiny bit, it looks like FNA was a fork of MonoGame in the first place, so he must not have been that happy with what MonoGame was like at the time. That was like nine years ago though, so who knows what MonoGame is like now.Quoting: GeamanduraThat's Flibitijibibo aka Ethan Lee. He's the author of FNA and a very prolific game porter. He definitely knows what he's talking about.Quoting: JpxeWhat the difference between MonoGame and FNA?
I can't find it now, but I recently read a long blog post by a guy "flibijibito" or something like that who I understand is an absolute guru in Linux game tech.

Well,
I also noticed that when I went to have a look at the, um, "X" linked in this article, prominent to the right of the message was "New to Twitter? Sign up blah blah blah . . ." So it looks like I can't sign up to "X", only to Twitter . . .

Quoting: EikeOne thing I wonder about--if it's "X" now, what is this "twitter.com" website that has all the stuff on it?Quoting: PhlebiacQuoting: heidi.wengerIt seems without an account you can't even read messages no more in that god awful "X"
It doesn't show the replies any more, but seeing the "base" message still works for me?
There might be quota so it doesn't even showtweets"x's" anymore when used up?
Well,
Spoiler, click me
I guess if they switched it to "x.com" that would cause the apocalypse (or at least the Enemy Unknown).
