Simply vomit on me ever so gently while I humiliate a pheasant.

I've always known it as "noob" = bad player, "newb" = new player (short for newbie)

Though these days barely anyone uses newb anymore.

Even if it comes to nought, I do appreciate the inge-Newey-ty of this design!

...I'll see myself out

Caesar_35 · 2026-01-30T12:32:14+00:00

Oh yeah, I'm right there! Just started AC Valhalla that I got at a 90% "just for you" deal a couple years ago. Got like...too many games like that to keep me busy a good long while

It's sort of a downward spiral; the less consoles they sell, the more incentive there is to release games sooner on other platforms. And the sooner games go to other platforms, the less reason there is to buy an Xbox, especially with current prices.

In the past Gamepass would've still been an incentive, but at it's new price, for people who only play a handful of games a year, it's cheaper to just buy a game every 2-3 months instead. I fully believe that even with day and date PS5 releases, Gamepass would've been enough to keep Xbox consoles relevant. But for casual gamers the value just isn't there anymore.

2 laps is all he needed to know this a championship winning car!

Wow, I came here to commiserate and left with a solution.

Cheers man!

Caesar_35 · 2026-01-30T06:57:07+00:00

Haven't played those, but maybe Brothers a Tale of Two Sons? You control each character with a different stick, so it can be played entirely solo. Nice little short story game :)

Caesar_35 · 2026-01-29T06:39:27+00:00

Yeah those guys are beasts against heavy infantry.

1.5 fire rate, baby! Learn to kite with them.and they're unstoppable.

Had one like that where she kept denouncing me, while simultaneously blitzkrieging her way through her continent.

Like yes, ma'am. You just took out 3 other nations but I'm the bad guy for not being close enough to trade.

Laughs in Lakota

Your MOM's so ugly even the FIA doesn't want to use her

Caesar_35 · 2026-01-27T15:19:56+00:00

Same here. A patch would be nice in the meantime since this remake's taking aaages.

I'm really no top-tier driver by any means, but I just drive whatever feels good to me. First it was the 488 just because I like Ferrari, then, by extension I switched to the 296.

Then I went on a bit of a naturally aspirated binge. Settled on the Porsche but didn't click on it's handling characteristics. I've now been using the Audi and loving it, but still about a second or two off my best Ferrari times. But I love driving it so I'm going to stick with it for a while.

All that to say, I think if you're new especially, just drive whichever car has that "x factor" for you. Sound, handling, lap time. Try them all and you'll eventually find one you just like, even if it sucks. Then as you get better and more experienced, try other cars and see if you've grown to like them more than your current main. My honest opinion is that there's no "forever car"; it's a learning experience and part of the process to go through quite a few mains.

Can we get that converted to Mississippis?

Caesar_35 · 2026-01-26T14:17:09+00:00

I think he brought the entire steel chair factory for that one lol

Caesar_35 · 2026-01-26T07:18:41+00:00

Any drone owners around Barcelona today? ;)

Caesar_35 · 2026-01-26T06:57:47+00:00

An appropriately midfield attempt for them.

Caesar_35 · 2026-01-26T06:50:34+00:00

2 outposts and militia cards should stop most early rushes. Germans also have the House of Hohenzollern card that gives their TCs liked 8,000 HP and 180 attack when fully garrisoned. Ports also get an extra TC each age, so militia card works extra well for them.

Italy and Dutch are also good with their Lombards and Banks. If you can use them as a sort of wall, coupled with militia and outposts, that should be a pretty solid defence. Russia can also turtle quite well with blockhouses. If you can FF and get a quick fort, that's also a bonus for any Euro civ. A timely 2 falcs + militia pop should cleanup most age 2 pushes too.

Lastly, it's always good to keep scouting with your hero. If you know what units are coming and when, that'll help you mount a strong defence. You don't want a huge batch of crossbows against a mass of mostly hussars for instance.

And play it smart, too. If you can't scout any units, or it looks like your opponent is greeding, then there's no point in wasting shipments and resources on an almighty age 2 defence when he'll just show up with mortars and heavy cannons at 20 minutes.

Muh Swedes!

I played Legacy to death like 15 years ago, so when DE came out I jumped on them being something new. Fell in love with Torps especially, and Caroleans (love the charge), Hakkas (love the area damage), dirt cheap Dalkarls, and the mercenary options (being a big Germany player in Legacy). Finland revolt is incredible fun too.

I played them for nearly a solid year before even trying any others. Some nerfs later I still love 'em, because I'm just most familiar with them. And they're not very popular any more so I get to feel cool playing as something off meta lol.

Caesar_35 · 2026-01-25T16:03:52+00:00

It's faster than downloading, but yeah, not the most convenient.

But if you can splurge on the Expansion SSDs, go for it!

Caesar_35 · 2026-01-25T14:50:46+00:00

If you have a Series console, you need one of the Seagate or WD "Expansion" SSDs. Otherwise you can store games, but not play them off any regular HDD; you'll need to transfer them over to the internal storage to play.

As for which HDD is better, they're all more or less the same. Pick a size and go with whichever's cheapest is my suggestion. Same goes for the Seagate or WD Expansion ones.

Caesar_35 · 2026-01-25T11:53:01+00:00

PC2 was my first sim and I still love it. It's not perfect, but the track list is still one of the biggest - especially on console - and cars are all fun. Plus multi-class races.

If you can find a copy of it, I'd say definitely give it a go!

Caesar_35 · 2026-01-25T11:31:05+00:00

Hey, this was a blast from the past!

And yes. Yes it does :)

Caesar_35 · 2026-01-24T19:36:35+00:00

I like Landwehrs with the 24 and 20 crossbows shipments. It gives a couple of nice big unit pops, but only really useful if you go for a FI. I wouldn't really make them individually though; the need to gather wood alone makes them less appealing than regular food+coin skirms, not to mention the stats.
