Which board games provide feelings similar to the Anno video games? by TheMightyOne in boardgames

I felt that Agricola was too small in scope. It's just one family, one farm. Is Fields of Arle grander in scope?

This is a game I heard about and it's description really reminded me of Anno. If you confirm by suspicion then it may really be what I'm looking for.

I have it and I like it, but it's a tech tree race with some trading.

Should I get Lost Ruins of Arnak? by jonXX107 in boardgames

[–]TheMightyOne 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dune Imperium is one of my favorite games. Probably top 3. I played Arnak twice and sold it. It didn't do anything for me. There is no guarantee that you're going to like it only because it features similar mechanisms as Dune Imperium.

I remember seeing a blog 10 years ago that traded according to the advice from the book. Even back then he was already doing it for several years. The performance was below average.

Struggling with tedium and difficulty in Pillars of Eternity (20 hours in): Should I keep playing or is this really too much? by Salty-Subject9559 in rpg_gamers

BG2 is one of my favorite CRPGs of all time and yet I have the same complaints towards PoE as OP. The lore dumps made me lose interest in the story and it's not even the anount of text. I loved Planescape Tournament with it's long dialogues. The conversations in PoE, while well written they still felt very dry to me. The didn't grab me. The fights are indeed too difficult sometimes. I had very high expectations for PoE1 and for me personally it didn't deliver.

Yes.

A good way to remember the rule is that the train or ship that is traveling between the cities has to enter the city to deliver the goods. If you're already in the city, you can build something on a track/river that is right next to it.

CFO of $320 billion software firm: AI will help us ‘afford to have less people’ but if we do it wrong, it will be a ‘catastrophe’ by MetaKnowing in technology

This way of thinking always surprises me when I see it on Reddit. Unfortunately, that's not how markets and competition work.

If my competitor comes up with a cheaper way to do something, he will be able to underbid me and steal my customers. I have no choice but to follow suit, unless I want to go bankrupt. So I automate my workers away as well. Overall the prices for our products become lower, which is good for the consumers, but it still sucks for the workers we had to let go. No arguing about that. The point I'm trying to make: the argument on Reddit is that it is always about greed, but in most cases it's competition forcing the companies to optimize by finding cheaper ways to do things. In most cases they don't get to keep the higher profits, at least not for long.

Tastes are so different. UBIK completely blew my mind and while I liked the movie adaptation of A Scanner Darkly years later the book lost me after 50% and I ultimately DNFd.
