Sid Meier's Civilization VII arrives February 11, 2025 - Gameplay reveal trailer live
21 Aug 2024 at 4:25 pm UTC

There are a few things I like from their reveal, and many I loathe.

Just going to have to wait. It comes out in Feb, so I'll make up my mind about then.

(yes, there is river travel. One thing I do like.)

Leisure Suit Larry was the first of their games I ever bought. (waaaaayy back)

Hilarious.

btw, updated version is on steam. New graphics, gameplay is the same, including same silly bugs, hacks etc.

(eg: gambling: save, bet all, if win, save, repeat. if lose, load save, try again.) heh.

spent many hours doing that one.

Kings Quest, did them, Space Quest, loved that one.

7 Days to Die gets an experimental Beta for the 1.0 release

Quoting: Dmitri Seletski
Quoting: CanadianBlueBeerVulkan: brightness ok, FPS marginally better. Crashed and rebooted the system.
Not solving your performance issues, game is bad at it, period.
Reboot on other hand = problem on your system, hardware or software. No user space program is able to reboot your PC.(unless it uses appropriate OS calls, which 7days to die will not do)
nope. It's power/bios issue. If something tries to get too much *somehow*, then the system reboots.
It's supposed to just throttle, but, nope.

Civ6 does this often in Windows, but never in Proton.

(I'm wondering if something is driving the vid card too hard, but...)

Nevertheless, performance native linux, bad.

GLcore was too bright. FPS stunk.
Vulkan: brightness ok, FPS marginally better. Crashed and rebooted the system.

Didn't like the dew collector, but it's better now. The tarp doubling the amount so you get 6 per,
means you don't need a huge amount of them. (I'm finding a LOT of murky water anyway soo...)

I'm gonna play it a bit more, but then it's going back into the doghouse.

Probably has to do with releasing on consoles.

I'm taking a look at this "1.0" release.
(then it's back to the doghouse it goes)

3rd party account and or always online, don't think so.

So much for preservation, the classic Delta Force games are getting delisted

Heh, I still have the original Delta Force.

(no idea if the disk is still good, but...)

Valheim: Ashlands is out now with a supremely cool animated trailer

I used an existing world. No issues. We never explored that far south (for just this reason).

It is intense.

Remember folks: Git out the fire!
Red water: bad!

:D

Quoting: Liam Dawe
Quoting: ShabbyXRecently started Valheim over the hype with the expectation that I won't like it (not into survival games in general). But damn, this game is fun!

Won't forget my first encounter with a troll that's for sure.
You never forget the first time you get killed by a falling tree either lol
Nope! (of course, we do try to smoosh anyone else when chopping trees. Agility Practice, that's it!)

Going to have to either make sure the fire thingies don't go to previous biomes, or see about upgrading roofs.

(gotta wait for mods to update before playing. sigh)

:D
