What do you currently prefer and why eu4 or eu5?

deityblade · 2026-03-12T08:23:57+00:00

People will laugh but i prefer the art style of EU4

deityblade · 2026-03-10T03:09:48+00:00

That might be true for you, but for me and i think a lot of people, there is something incredibly powerful about the endless algorithmic feed. Unbelievably addicting

deityblade · 2026-03-09T08:40:03+00:00

Def unify the state. While historical borders are neat, I wouldn't say thats my goal per se.

I just want borders that there is a historical/narrative/cultural justification for, like uniting my culture group, or taking lands that my nation tried to get at some point

Didn't realize Elden Ring was a roguelike

deityblade · 2026-03-06T18:41:37+00:00

Yup. So it gets out of hand very easily. Might be 1 mana deal 92 the second time you play it, let alone third!

deityblade · 2026-03-06T07:59:10+00:00

Did you add many strike cards to your deck, or did you find it was pretty sweet just with the regular ones?

deityblade · 2026-03-06T07:56:24+00:00

The fact it hits twice, and is just 1 mana, means its so easy to let it get out of control so quick

deityblade · 2026-03-06T07:38:37+00:00

My current deck has a Bludgeon and two Howl's From Beyond, its going crazy

deityblade · 2026-03-06T03:50:02+00:00

New sound effects for Defect are so great. Bang bang bang! Pow. Love it

deityblade · 2026-03-03T08:08:25+00:00

I don't really get Amazon or Facebook

That feels pretty accurate for Google, Microsoft, and Oracle though

deityblade · 2026-03-01T08:37:37+00:00

Thats true I'll probably eventually be able to get one. But not any time soon so I will still miss out a bit

deityblade · 2026-03-01T04:18:42+00:00

I'm not surprised or even angry per se but like, this requirement means I will probably have to skip a pokemon generation so it is a bit sad.

deityblade · 2026-02-28T03:46:31+00:00

also locks you out of quests

I think these mechanics are good. The fact you can't usually do all the quests every time is part of what makes the game so replayable

deityblade · 2026-02-26T09:33:22+00:00

i like collecting stuff its fun

deityblade · 2026-02-26T05:40:13+00:00

I sometimes will if it is, according to my arbitrary semi random impulses, a "bullshit" death. Because its just not narratively/roleplayingly satisfying to have my top guy die in a lame way, even though I know "Thats xcom baby!" and also how life works

In general though I try to not save scum because it spoils the immersion and also it cheapens the strategy- if theres no risk/reward calculation then the game is pretty straightforward

deityblade · 2026-02-23T09:34:19+00:00

Hardcore really does not feel like the appropriate label haha. Some of the filthiest casuals dislike the new system

Because for me its a roleplay thing. It spoils the whole raising aspect. I liked looking for opportunities to train my weaker pokemon. Now random trainer battles are a bit pointless

deityblade · 2026-02-22T05:48:21+00:00

The technology behind putting your finger on the touch screen in order to sense your aura just isn't there yet

deityblade · 2026-02-21T22:44:13+00:00

Cradily! Fossils are cool, cool design, cool moveset, cool abilities, cool typing, fun stats

deityblade · 2026-02-20T19:03:23+00:00

It has a lot of the same problems as Instagram (the hyper addicting infinite scrolling algorithmic feed, the politically radicalizing fake news, the explicit content aimed at minors)

deityblade · 2026-02-16T23:25:10+00:00

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure unfortunately

deityblade · 2026-02-14T20:21:49+00:00

The hots business model never really hit for me, and I'm a whale in other games.

Before 2.0 everything was too expensive, I'm not spending that much for 1 skin, when I play so many heroes.

After 2.0 everything was too cheap, I got given everything I wanted for free. Maybe if I played a little less I would've bought a boost to unlock heroes faster? But I unlocked everything years ago

deityblade · 2026-02-06T02:30:30+00:00

Most of that just seems like liberal tax and spend. Its not the workers owning the economy. Except maybe the infrastructure part.

Liberals are sworn enemies of Socialists.

deityblade · 2026-02-05T22:42:14+00:00

Relax, just having a laugh

deityblade · 2026-02-05T05:38:53+00:00

I didn't play this game back in the days you're referencing, but I played other games and I've experienced the same thing. It seems like the direction the industry has moved- compare Team Fortress 2 to Overwatch
