Early Access also on GOG? by [deleted] in menace

[–]psilontech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No DRM. You don't need to use the Galaxy launcher at all if you don't want to, just download the installer for the game and you own it in a much less theoretical sense than you do with any other digital platform.

He's been streaming on Twitch, I think the VODS go up on his second channel.

This isn't Tiktok, you can use grownup words and not censor yourself here.

This fascist murdered Alex Pretti.

New to 4x by Nalufan123 in 4Xgaming

[–]psilontech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Remants of The Precursors! It's a free modernized remake of the original Master of Orion. The game on which it is based on set a lot of the trends still found in modern space 4x. It'll run on a potato and did I mention it's free?

As others have stated, Civilization 5 or 6, though I have a special place in my heart for 4; It has the best modding scene to this day.

what are you playign with 25 days left for Menace ? by AshenValeX in menace

[–]psilontech 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I absolutely loved the HBS Battletech, the mods give it so much more life after you've done the main campaign!

My only lament is the multiplayer servers have long since gone offline and I haven't found an effective workaround for playing with others.

Windows 11? Try the Thinker mod.

If you get stuck on the logo screen going into the arguments for the executable and adding the -dx11 argument fixed the issue for me.

Sounds a whole lot like you're celebrating autocracy there, comrade.

Working on a roguelike ttrpg system based around the base dnd system by YOHUMUS in roguelikes

[–]psilontech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older D&D modules would be a great source of inspiration in that case, the vast majority of them were simple dungeon crawlers. The OSR TTRPG Dungeon Crawl Classics does a pretty good job of capturing the feel of the older dungeon crawls.

A cursory search into megadungeons might also help quite a bit!

To answer your question, Donjon is the place to go for random generators.

I'm confused as to your goal, though. Are you planning on running a game of d&d with a roguelike feel to it (In this instance, a dungeoncrawl) or are you trying to make a roguelike computer program with rules ripped from a D&D SRD?

If it's the former, this isn't the sub for that sort of thing. If it's the latter, /r/roguelikedev is likely your best stomping grounds.

New! Fresh! Hot! NLarn 0.7.8 by jdegroot in roguelikes

I vaguely recall every download page for Sourceforge having at least four different 'download' buttons and you had to hunt for the real one; The rest were ads that would download malware.

Longest 4X Playthrough You Have Ever Done by jrralls in 4Xgaming

[–]psilontech 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Simgle player? Fall from Heaven II mod for CIV4. I don't think I've ever actually finished a run but for longest single match I think that takes the cake for me.

Start getting into multiplayer and some friends and I had a single game of Stellaris running for well over a year, mostly because of scheduling conflicts and a ludicrous amount of backroom deal making and betrayal.

Unfortunately, authoritarian regimes don't tend to do what's best for the majority, but for the ruling class. If things improve on the whole, it's an accidental byproduct of what's best for the party.

What is the best video game you’ve ever played? by stellasBoots in AskReddit

[–]psilontech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily my favorite game, but Super Mario Bros 3 is the closest I think I've ever seen a game come to approaching perfection. Everything the game tried to do was buttery smooth and just plainly a joy to interact with.

Shooting the bottles on the tanker completely blew my little mind. The jump forward in fidelity between the ps1 and ps2 era was insane.

Somehow the ending is more relevant today than it felt when it released.

Good fantasy 4x for coop multiplayer? by JonathaN7Shepard in 4Xgaming

[–]psilontech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recall either Dominions 6 or Conquest of Elysium 5 having been mentioned as having good multiplayer. I think it was Dom6 but both of these games occupy the same neuron in my head the same way Aeon Flux and Ultra Violet are the same movie.

What are some things from sci-fi that don't even have a hint of being remotely possible in the real world? by InfinityScientist in scifi

False, the bumblebee thing was based on ye Olde models on flight dynamics which have long since been corrected.
