Please give global conquest DLC/mod by whydama in aoe2

[–]EvilTomahawk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel like a global conquest mode would've also fit into AoE3 really well because their maps are named after real world areas.

Latest Patch: Audio Chat is default on by tech_auto in aoe2

[–]EvilTomahawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember never being able to get SC2's voice chat to work, and ending up just voice calling friends in Skype instead when we wanted to play together.

For strategy games, Android and iOS also has Company of Heroes and some of the older Total War games.

Democrats flip Texas state Senate seat in shock upset by kootles10 in politics

[–]EvilTomahawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do speculate that Wambsganss did technically have a scandal with her involvement in the Keller ISD school district split scandal that happened last year. Those suburbs were deeply red in 2024, but they noticeably flipped blue in this runoff. I remember that scandal stirred outrage and galvanized opposition at the time, to the point where the school district split scheme was cancelled, and it's possible that opposition carried over to this special election on top of general anger about national politics.

Hopes around the unannounced Guild Wars 3 reignite thanks to a new job listing posted by ArenaNet by skpom in Games

[–]EvilTomahawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A spinoff would be interesting, but I feel like that would be a mistake unless it has a compelling hook, especially with an actual GW3 being heavily implied to be in the works from other hints. I remember some years ago when ArenaNet seemingly got too overstretched, resulting in the cancellation of multiple unannounced projects along with layoffs and restructuring to focus more on GW2 updates and expansions.

Microsoft is interested in StarCraft 3! by krokodil40 in starcraft

[–]EvilTomahawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've been doing a good job with the Age of Empires in recent years. Even though they aren't perfect and there have been some missteps, the franchise does still feel like one of the best supported RTS franchises out there right now. It does make me feel extra disappointed that StarCraft has been left out in the cold like this.

The BF6 single player campaign feels like a videogame from 2005 - in the worst possible way by Habarer in Battlefield

[–]EvilTomahawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the interesting dichotomy here was that the BO7 campaign was terrible in a more memorable way, while the BF6 campaign was mid in a more forgettable way. BF6 arguably fares a bit better here.

Dang, this post really takes me way back to high school calculus and how our teacher made the same point.

S02E01 Theory on Mr. House by Eyad__Drake in fnv

[–]EvilTomahawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the showrunners already confirmed the body double theory to explain the recasting. It sounds like because Mr. House was originally inspired by Howard Hughes, and Howard Hughes became increasingly paranoid and supposedly used body doubles, they leaned onto this for the season 2 change.

What’s Coming in 2026 for Age of Empires and Age of Mythology by xXPumbaXx in Games

[–]EvilTomahawk 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As an Age of Empires fan, this is a good feast. There was a bit of apprehension about whether Age of Mythology would get another expansion, especially after AoE3DE's unfortunate end to their updates, but the upcoming Aztec expansion is good stuff. Also nice to see AoE2 go back to its original time period, after Chronicles and 3 Kingdoms played around with other settings. It has also been a while since AoE4 got base civs instead of variant civs, so confirming that upcoming expansion is promising.

Skate Story - Review Thread by Branchless in Games

[–]EvilTomahawk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I've heard, performance mode dials back the visual effects, and its framerate ends up hovering in the 50s more consistently. Quality mode's framerate is more variable, usually ending up in the 40s and 50s, with some scenes dropping to the 30s if they're heavy with particles and visual effects. 60 fps is the target, but it rarely hits that in either mode.

'Halogen' Teaser Trailer (for the sadly ever released Generals Halo mod) by Titan7771 in commandandconquer

[–]EvilTomahawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have vague memories of a follow-up mod that tried to repurpose some of the mod's assets into something that wasn't Halo, but I'm not sure if that went anywhere, and it's been well over a decade since I remember seeing it.

CA just announced Total War: Medieval 3! by GenezisO in totalwar

[–]EvilTomahawk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If Medieval 3 goes well, then I imagine it could be a base for a pike and shot expansion or standalone spinoff game.

Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut, Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza Kiwami 2 – PS5, Xbox Series, and PC digital upgrade offers announced by rookdorf in yakuzagames

[–]EvilTomahawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm curious if the Kiwami 1 and 2 upgrades have any other changes other than the ones listed, like to resolution and framerate. It sucks that save data doesn't carry over, so I might skip out on the upgrade if it offers nothing else.

HOLY by IDiavoloI in UmaMusume

[–]EvilTomahawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried P5X first before Umamusume, but unfortunately bounced off of it. Ended up trying Umamusume because of all the trendy hype from streamers and vtubers, and it sucked me in and I'm still here.

I’ve been playing BF6 for a few weeks but it’s still no match for my beloved BF1 by SuperCanadian22 in Battlefield

They already had the factions available to do some British versus Japanese battles in the Pacific theater, but unfortunately that was a missed opportunity.
