RTS games!
Keeping track of lots of simultaneous developments and figthing several skirmishes at once, that's kinda what RTS is to me. If you don't enjoy filling up your numpad with hotgroups then it's not for you. However simple actions like ordering or changing research and production should be so effective that being a little better with the mouse has no impact.

RTS games!
It has already been stated, but it can't be said enough that the whole concept of measuring skill by 'actions per second' as they do with some professional gamers is completely moronic. It just means that there is something wrong with the UI or the core design if how fast you can click a building and queue units has any effect on the outcome. I have played a lot of Homeworld and I must have played every Rome/Shogun game and enjoyed them a lot. Starcraft type games I could never get into. Granted there is a lot of frantic clicking in Homeworld. I dunno if knowing all the shortcuts makes you win games, but it definately helps.

Risen 3 is coming
I got Chrystal Magic last night and a firestorm spell. Looks usefull. It's the only AOE option I have. How many spells are there ?. I'm still stuck without a good off hand option and it feels too late to start leveling up pistols or daggers now. I don't suppose there are 'off hand' spells, or something to interupt/AOE. The firestorm won't do it alone. Do I need to learn craft spells for chrystal magic. If so, does crafting use up crystals. I need those to purchase the unlimited use gauntlet spells.

Drama in indy gaming and games journalism part 2
In any case the spin and reactions to the zoe quinn story #whocaresthiswillbeoverinaweek are just nowhere near as juicy. Seems like everybody has their own 'this is really about'shtick and all these various attention hijackers are now playing musical chairs about what people will say this was really about in a month.

The Funny Things Thread
It surprises me that it doesn't appear the big titles have hired people to post positive reviews. Maybe that's actually in the STEAM contract. Anyway the SKYRIM stuff is way after the PR campaign. I can tell by all the references to the sex mods.

Ukraine discussion
I see what you did there. Going from an unashamed 'yes man' to some kind of Russian political analyst. Careful you don't start thinking for yourself, it's addictive you know.

So we are still pretending the Russian soldiers aren't there ?

He's going to play along until attention shifts, then there is going to be another rebel offensive. Besides, those ceasefires rarely last more than a few days.

Drama in the indy gaming biz ?
Do I get points for never trusting them to begin with ?

Drama in the indy gaming biz ?
We all take different things away from this I guess. For me the highlights were vested interest trying to appear seperate and for a few seconds sounding completely and revealingly hypocritical in their standard spins, and redit censorship, this is from both the Quinn bebacle and the celebrity nudes. Boy has the indie sheen worn off that place now.

The state of Feminism, the good the bad
I think we have gone over the line here. It IS possible to talk about race and crime, but you need to be a lot more sublte about it. Just to inform. Proceed carefully or thread closure is imment.

Hacked Nude Photos: Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Yvonne Strahovski, etc.
The kiids these days really suck at the time honoured tradition of Euro snobbery. I could show you a thing or two.

Purely for research purposes of course I have viewed the whatsherface from Hunger Games pics. They are just slightly risque' selfies and pretty flattering. They are private of course and it is in principle all kinds of wrong. Lesson, don't put anything in the cloud you don't want in the public. Especially if you are famous, it makes you a target.

By consider, you really mean "just agree with them", don't you ? While hacking is wrong, it somewhat trivializes people who are the victims of sexual abuse to compare this to it. Ya think ?

Dragon Age: Inquisition vs. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
I dunno if the 'not enough time' argument holds true. How many years did those games take to complete and how many more before something comperable comes along. There is enough time. Initially there would be competition i suppose, but DA looks like the underdog at least as far as graphics and quality of production goes.

Just moved to Denmark. Now what?
The hibernation thing is true. It just gets too cold and dark to go anywhere.
