A combination of FTL AND XCOM 2? Be still my beating heart. :wub:
I'll wait till it shows up on Steam, though.

Quoting: eldakingToday they released a hotfix for EU4 that supposedly fixes the issue. I won't be able to try for a while (not today, maybe not until Saturday), but I assume it will be fixed for next release.

I just tried, and it worked alright for me (other than setting my desktop resolution to 1280×720 the first time). It seems to set all DLC to on and mods to off (due to some big incompatibility with previous versions), so just be aware of that.

Quoting: HoriWhat about Stellaris? IMO that game actually needs 64bit more than CK2, as it seems to me more memory consuming mid-late game.

If they're doing it for CK II, I'm sure it's coming for Stellaris eventually. It's probably just a matter of fitting it into the release schedule. I bet it'll be announced along with the new Stellaris expansion that's been teased for PDXCon.

The what now? :O

Raising elephants is so utterly boring [External Link]. :)

That's amazing, I'd never heard of that before! :woot:

Now given how infrequently my Linux machine actually freezes up that badly, I'll probably have completely forgotten it the next time I need it. :wink:

Supposedly they've got got an internal fix for the Linux/Mac issues with the launcher not launching from Steam already, hopefully the sheer number of other important bug reports doesn't keep it from being delayed too long. :|

Sounds like on the forums that the new launcher…er, launch has been pretty rough—lots of people reporting being unable to launch the launcher from Steam (though launching the game directly from the executable works fine), or problems with it not recognizing owned DLC or mods not working. (Though to be fair, the reports of problems seem to be pretty evenly split between Linux, Mac, and Windows, so it's not just a Linux issue.) I'm a fan of Paradox, and understand bugs get missed sometimes, but…oof. This sounds like it really should've spent some more time in QA. Anyway, if you're thinking of trying the new update, maybe just do some reading to see what to expect, or hold off for the next hotfix patch that hopefully fixes the issues.

Quoting: iiariGame devs. Must. Sim. All. The. Things.

What hasn't been simmed yet that any of you would want?

I want a proper, modern remake of Sim Farm. I don't want to walk around individually watering every single one of my plants, or driving farm equipment in first-person view—there are plenty of games already that will let me do that (and I don't want to do it anyway). I want a bird's eye, manager's view, where I'm not worried about hiring individual staff, I just say "I want that field harvested" and someone makes it happen as long as I've got the basic necessary equipment. Bring it from 2D into 3D so I can have idyllic rolling hills, and flesh out interactions with the world more (like, maybe competing farms? More interactions with nearby towns/cities?). Oh, and give it a similar relaxed, pastoral soundtrack to listen to as I count down the days for my crop of "red gold" strawberries to ripen (though do keep the animals and the ability to go all-crops, all-animals, or a mixture of both, that was fun). Add some long-term goals to build towards, and I'll be happy. :D

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThey should hire a couple of library people. We know how to do searches. And subject headings.

Do we need a standardized Library of Congress/Dewey Decimal System for games, and how hard would it be to create one? :)

Could this be the modern Sim Tower remake we've been waiting for? :D

The genre-blending reminds me of two favorite games from my childhood, Battlezone and its sequel Battlezone II: Combat Commander, though those were real-time strategy mixed with first-person shooter gameplay. It's an interesting idea, though I'm not sure I enjoy top-down shooters as much.

Nice, I'll have to play through this with a friend when we get time. We've quite enjoyed our time with Golf with your Friends so far. :)
