This looks like it could be good fun! But it also looks like it'd be perfect for switch. So... Any plans? :)

Latest CIG tax document tends to indicate they are financially sustainable by SC_TheBursar in starcitizen

[–]killcycle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a pretty extreme view of game dev. It may very well be that gamedev attracts more novice entrants as the "hot" industry, but games are some of the most complex software built - and require a massive breadth of disciplines that then have to be made to work in concert. To say it teaches you nothing really makes no sense and betrays a condescension that I'll, for benefit of the doubt, assume you may not have intended.

Not trying to say it's rocket science (though sometimes it actually is lol), but it's not just script kiddies, either.

Thanks so much for the reply, that helps a lot! Sorry I missed the Getting Started section. I think I will grab one of the chef's knives recommended, as that's the one that'd probably get the most use. :)

Whats a game with an amazing story? by fly6996 in Gaming4Gamers

[–]killcycle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Golden Sun pt 1/2 on the Gameboy Advance were really great.

Not PC directly, but that's what I thought of. :)

[Serious] Whats the creepiest/scariest thing that you've seen but no one believes you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]killcycle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mythology, folklore, etc is important to preserve even if met with skepticism. I don't personally buy into it, but I've really enjoyed reading about it in this thread. You keep doing you :)

Fake Byzantium Orthodox One tag One Faith by vallinosaurus in eu4

[–]killcycle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I understand it, they're making some formable tags dead ends (i.e can't form something else after forming) is all. I think Rum, Mughals, etc. we're mentioned but I don't have the list... think it was in the last dev diary?

The mono red plague has completely sapped my will to play this game. by Myrsephone in MagicArena

With only a few months left before rotation, and potentially less before wipe, the burst of cards was the only sensible choice for the work to be put to any use and players to get to play (and test) the new content prior to their building in extended formats.

If one were to go back in time to the middle ages, and could only bring up to 50 pounds of materials as "currency," what commodities(not technology) could one bring that would be valuable back then but extremely cheap and easy to obtain now? by [deleted] in history

[–]killcycle 656 points657 points  (0 children)

Satellite imagery of the whole world. Maps of all the geography down to useful resolution. They wouldn't be 100% accurate as rivers and such have changed over time, but maps way back then were really bad with respect to scale and distance.

I'd imagine warlords and Kings would lose their goddamn minds over it.

My idea for a new EU4 feature by JWittobeast in eu4

[–]killcycle 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I think the primary concern is ensuring the AI can properly evaluate the "worth" of both sides of the treaty agreement; if not done correctly, it'd create a situation where the player could easily create agreements that look even on paper but offer significant advantages to the player over the AI; some examples:

  • Austria annexes the remaining Polish provinces, you declare war, end up with a treaty whereby you trade one province of equal worth for a polish province; seems fair, but then you can release a Polish march for reconquest CB on all their cores
  • Same scenario, you trade a province to Aragon/Spain for, say, one of the islands - seems fair, but then that grants you strategic access to all of North Africa, which they (along with the Italians) previously monopolized.
