What is "naff" naming?

Quoting: GuestIt's almost sad, to see Valve stepping up with so much effort into something that's reportedly so buggy..

On PC, it is at least playable, though.
Enough so that many have/had a pretty great time with it despite the bugs.

Not sure if I misunderstand what it is, but wouldn't it make more sense to have a system that automatically translates game achievements into the right format for a given platform?

At least from a developer's perspective, what would be most useful would be to code your achievements once and then have them work on all platforms (Steam, GOG, open source) without having to do any platform-specific coding. It would just detect if you're building for Steam/GOG/etc. (or you set a flag) and automagically work.

Of course, this would also work the other way around, if e.g. Steam supported an open source platform and converted it to its own system automatically. But I do find the chances for that relatively low.

But (again, if I understood this right), this platform would actually increase the work for developers. That's a pretty tough sell.

This update made me finally get the game.
I know I wouldn't be into playing with randoms anyway (I never like that), so it was important that the bots be somewhat functional for me to play solo or with friends and everyone said (before this update) that they are not.

Quoting: HexatopeI highly doubt you'll see RetroArch on Steam, due to legality concerns behind the acquisition of game and bios ROMs. Not something that Valve would want to get involved with, I'm sure.

Nothing about emulation itself is legally concerning.
As you say, it is about the roms (bios & games) - none of which will be offered via Steam or RetroArch.

Now, naturally, I and every other person that ever used an emulator owns 100% of emulated games & systems and made all copies of all ROMs themselves.
And it will likely remain that way until the day all these games become old enough to have their copyright expired.

Sounds pretty good.
So far, trying to command a fleet was pretty painful due to the need to micro so much. Just handing it off to an admiral sounds like you could have more time actually participating in the battle yourself.

Quoting: bekowelp. That was one of the worst trailers I've seen in a while. Grand "action" strategy :sick:

You gotta have some mercy with the publisher here.
They are trying to sell a grand strategy game - and for some reason decided that "action trailer!!!!!" is the way to go.

1C can be very endearingly oldschool sometimes :grin:
