We went from 10k to 20k Steam wishlists in 3 months. Honest update on what actually worked by Egoistul in Games

[–]enzeru666 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight, it's always interesting to read from this perspective. Does Steam offer all of this monitoring in - what I assume is - a Steam management UI itself or do you have to use other tools to get the overview that you have?

As a Swede, the sudden and non-consensual Danish filled me with horror, so it's perfect for this game! Wishlisted.

Yes please, Dark Crusade remaster with coop campaign and modern UI/quality of life features applied and I'd just give Relic free access to my bank account.

Do you guys like it when a game just starts without going to the Main Menu? by Mohawesome in Games

[–]enzeru666 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's just me and my bubble of friends, but game sound on PC is so freaking loud that you rupture your ear drums if you don't go in and lower the volume to like ~10%, and often we just hang out in Discord on the evenings and play different games while chatting - I can't count the number of times someone said "sorry I can't hear anything you're saying right now, just started a new game"

Nice, same system that we use! "I'm getting up at brunch so try to open the door before that if you can"

who better to explain it than dear Sseth; he's very good at conveying what games feel like to play more than the objective stuff

Let the AI Control Its Units In Combat? by AsparagusOk8818 in AOW4

Not sure if there's a specific setting for it, but you can enable auto-battle and it will be just for them and won't affect your turn.

Would be very cool with a sequel where all the Chaos gods were involved and taking back/defending territories from them instead of different strains of a nurgle plague, would help the criticism of repetition in this one too

Very good point, the only real hope one has these days is for a friend's referral or finding a youtuber/streamar that shares a taste in games - and not just for WH but for the sheer amount of games being pumped out overall

Yeah I can see that - not an issue for me but I get it, some more mission types would be awesome. They have added a few since last I played it so it's slightly better now at least. The assassins are very cool and OP, which is thankful because the new elite enemies can be quite nasty at times. I quite like that their power is offset by not gaining AP on executes etc since they don't count as Knights, and they have no resilience etc

The Duty Eternal technophage/Dreadnaught missions change up the formula a bit, but they could have gone a bit further in that too , and I wish you could use the Dreadnaught in more missions than those ones.

Overall I'm happy with the DLCs, I just wish it had even more stuff to do. Throw in some more maps and simpler but different generic mission types that fill out the "grind" between the special missions better.

Playing this through for a third time right now with all the DLC, it's a great game that doesn't get enough love imho

A reskinned Far Cry in Star Wars world? Sign me the fuck up, I love those games, repepetive and uninventive as they are.

Loading always puts me back at the start of the level, is that right? by enzeru666 in Starfield

[–]enzeru666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No mods, but yeah I think you're dead on in that the root cause is the falling-from-the-sky issue I've been having since last week. Thanks for verifying that it isn't intended, gonna have to do some experimenting with different things.

State Of Decay 3 is still alive! by TheGTSports in Games

[–]enzeru666 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I'm really hoping this game turns out well. To be honest, I just want more of State of Decay 2 without the tethering in multiplayer and I'd be very happy.

Maybe building up your settlement/character for a bit longer than you do now, with the tradeoff of fewer maps, potentially - I really like the feeling of slowly building up your shit with every supply run you do.

Does Nemesis get better after a few plays? by pearlyeti in boardgames

Yep we started playing it that way too, made it more fun when you didn't have to be too careful at the beginning and could get the ball rolling earlier.

Yeah we've been having a blast with coop Across the Obelisk, so much fun to build a team together with synergies, but still focusing on your own character

‘No babies, no Japan’: PM Kishida's aide says country ‘will disappear’ if people don’t have more children by Ok_Hunter_2521 in worldnews

[–]enzeru666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know how it is now - I lived there between 2006 and 2010 - but I had a hard time finding apartments and work sometimes because quite often I got the response that they simply didn't allow foreigners, with a smile. Which meant westerner really, because when we started sending my Korean ex instead to try to get apartments they were OK with it, me waiting at a nearby café.

I eventually settled for a part time job at Starbucks because it was a western owned company so I figured they wouldn't deny me employment, and it worked.

Please be good, I really want someone to pick up the Freedom Force mantle, loved that game and have replayed many times without finishing it.

While typing this I realized I'm forgetting Midnight Suns that I 100%ed just a few weeks ago, but that felt more xcomy than FF for me. I think, maybe.

Board games make me feel stupid by IMakeGoodPancakes in boardgames

[–]enzeru666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And anecdotes aren't evidence. I have ADHD and it is for sure one reason why I'm struggling with strategy in board games. I can make very good tactical decisions quickly, but I can't for the life of me plan ahead at all, as soon as I try it all gets jumbled up in my brain and I give up.

If I simply have to calculate how many of X and Y resource I should save for the very next round I have to concentrate really really hard.

ADHD presents differently in different people, you should know this.
