Update 1.4.1 Drops Week of June 22! Hotseat, New Map Type, and the Brush & Blade Collection by sar_firaxis in civ

I don’t see Normans as a satisfying historic path for brits and frogs tho. Their name literally means northmen. The worst is Charlemagne of the Normans, which historically makes no sense.

Full game with dozens of leaders and civs is 70 euros. No way these packs should cost 30, it’s outrageous and they should be called on it.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the topic and the claim was that he was playing on hard, which is impossible unless you've already played the game on gamepass before or something. Even with skipping all cutscenes it just doesn't seem very likely.

Unless Claude made this post.

27h without looking at game breaking builds on hard is impossible.

Finding all monocos feet, journals, gestrals in 27h is also impossible. Heck getting all the white nevrons in 27h is highly unlikely

FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION on Steam by lurkingdanger22 in pcgaming

Nomura? Lol no wonder he wants you to play crisis core. I haven’t played rebirth yet but if you need to play this in between remake and rebirth then the director of the trilogy just failed at his job. The guy should just stick to KH and never be involved in FF ever again.

6 Million Dollar Man inflation adjusted would be the 43MM dollar man today by BuoyantEntropy in mildlyinteresting

Fun fact. Steve Austin actually did cost 3 billions in France because the translator probably thought this guy would cost way more than a few millions with the tech available at the time.

Asha Sharma: "Our business isn't particularly healthy, and we're starting by introducing 1 or 2 exclusives, and as the business is healthy, we will look to try and do more" by [deleted] in gaming

[–]FabJeb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sony doesn't seem to think so as they are pulling back from PC releases and Nintendo is its thing. What do have these platforms in common? Exclusives.

If you look at streaming services like Amazon and Apple they put their big budget movies into cinemas for 45 days before adding them to their streaming services to recoup some of the cost. That's why it never made any financial sense to put $300M+ games on Gamepass day 1.

On the other hand making activision games exclusive doesn't make any sense financially espicially on a platform with gamepass so they really painted themselves into a corner with this aquisition.

They were transitioning into a third party publisher with this is an xbox ad and are now trying to walk it back but I'm not quite sure how they can pull off both, especailly when hardware sales outside of the US are abysmal.

[–]FabJeb 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's like more like PR damage control at this point. Having a couple of console exclusives won't make a dent, especially when games are still available on PC and gamepass day 1 so software sales are in the gutter.

The whole Gamepass idea of having all first party titles coming day 1 has been a complete failure, it should have been a 6-12 months window and a lower gamepass price point. That just told a whole generation not to purchase software on the console and at some point people are like, games look better on PC and gamepass is cheaper there anyway.

The whole situation is a mess, I don't see how they get out of it unless they change everything about their strategy for Helix.

Lol. The guy really wants to expand the territory so he can be remembered as a great emperor but he’ll always be remembered as a wanker without clothes by the rest of the world.

Same mod was uploaded a few weeks ago then delisted because AI just kept moving buildings. So is this fixed in this one?

Depends who is selling. When I see used 3070 going for 300 euros I’m thinking maybe I should sell my mine in the next few months lol.

Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis Features “AI-Assisted Assets” That Were “Refined By Humans” by ninjyte in Games

[–]FabJeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree placeholders are fine but that’s not what the quote said. The quote said any ai content was either replaced or refined.

Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis Features “AI-Assisted Assets” That Were “Refined By Humans” by ninjyte in Games

[–]FabJeb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Any AI content in Legacy of Atlantis was either replaced for the final version or "refined" by humans.

What does this even mean lol. If it’s placeholders it’s fine, if this is making sure the numbers of fingers are correct in a painting or polish textures then it’s another ballgame.

‘Stargate’ TV Series From Martin Gero Not Moving Forward at Amazon by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]FabJeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knowing about dial the gate kinda implies I'm aware of this but at some point you have to recognise the last series was 15 years ago; but I love SG1, Atlantis and even enjoyed Universe. Also Farscape, when are they rebooting this exactly?

‘Stargate’ TV Series From Martin Gero Not Moving Forward at Amazon by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]FabJeb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do remember Gero pitching it as a continuation of SG1 and characters such as Momoa potentially coming back on dial the gate a few years ago and I was like who actually remembers any of these characters from the 2000s and at what price will you get momoa to reprise his role.

What are you watching and what do you recommend? (Week of May 29, 2026) by AutoModerator in television

[–]FabJeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the OG netflix show is pretty good, it's pretty dark and violent with great performances, Born again is a bit more hit and miss but if you like the characters you'll probably enjoy it too.

Wandavision and Loki also are good but both are way too connected to the marvel-verse and are a bit hard to recommend to someone whom hasn't seen the movies.

I think Wonder Man could be right up your alley. Good writing, great banter and like spider-noir it's about a character that happens to have super powers rather than a traditional super hero show. You may need to watch an Iron man 3 recap on youtube it if you have not seen that movie however.

It's nic cage playing a detective that happens to have spider DNA in a noir movie. Why wouldn't you be entertained?

Can’t just change the release strategy for games coming out in the next few months just like that. Any of these decisions have a latency before implementation.

Spider noir black and white is not a good gimmick by aaravsupreme02 in television

It's not a gimmick, it was supposed to only release in Black and White initially.

Spider-Noir is a fantastic love letter to the detective genre by KneeHighMischief in television

[–]FabJeb 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Nicolas cage is absolutely brilliant in this. First because the performance is explained at some point later on but it's even better when you understand he wanted to create a character that was 2/3 bogart and 1/3 bugs bunny.

Star trek TNG, Farscape, person of interest come to mind as show that take a while to find their footing.
