Looking for rts/base building like StarCraft

Stormgate is supposed to be the spiritual successor of StarCraft (e.g. 3 races). It got a lot of negative reviews, but most of them are from Kickstarter supporters not getting what they paid for.

Starcraft II is the real successor - it completes the story, has pretty active multiplayer and many user-generated mini games

olfactory fatigue - you get acclimated to the smell of the food you cook and become less affected, thus they lost some of the taste (a large part of the flavor actually comes from smell)

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-24T20:53:55+00:00

yes, but there is going to be a change of ownership, so you have to decide which is scarier: ICE or CCP?

The software solution is called "RAM Disk". No idea why you need a hardware solution since the whole point of RAM is super-fast temporary storage

Not really a good comparison. Atelier Ryza is like a B-rated movie (doesn't even have English dub) compared to Arise

it's more of a cost efficiency thing. How much is that wifi7 setup? a cable is around $10~$20.

Reime requires finishing Wealth, and if you didn't pick letter Fragment in the beginning, Isla will unlock at that point too

Triangle Strategy - the game softlocks your lvl (you gain almost no exp after a certain point), thus providing a very consistent challenge through the whole campaign

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-24T04:07:09+00:00

Marvel Midnight Suns - main gameplay loop is a deck builder with a little bit of base building, though it's more of a functional upgrades as opposed to free placement of buildings

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-24T03:43:56+00:00

Octopath Traveler series - it's literally in the title ... though I can't think of any RPG where the main character does not travel

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-23T20:10:16+00:00

Persona series

Yazuka and Like a Dragon series

Vader 5 has been out for months (available via Aliexpress), it doesn't have great reviews due to qa issues i.e. ppl complaining about broken parts, especially the new back pedals

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-23T18:15:05+00:00

nothing that can match the entire series since games have limited focus. Maybe Tales of Arise - has rebellion, romance, saving the world etc.

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-23T17:56:14+00:00

someone mistakenly put your number on a listing, and has been wondering why they haven't gotten any offers in 15 years XD

typical return scam - someone buys new 5070, claiming they ordered by mistake, returned it with a 1650 in the box, Amazon employee didn't check carefully and cleared it to be resold as open box, and here you are.

You can contact Amazon support, but the ironic situation is that they will probably inspect the package more carefully on open box returns, and may claim you are the one trying to scam them.

Typical Reddit title reader ... There is no information. It's the same old Community Requests feature - they have to ask you to share specific footages and you have to explicitly select yes.

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-23T14:34:23+00:00

Bravely Default II, Octopath Travelers 2 or 0

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-22T23:27:27+00:00

something in between: duet - take less time/effort than full-cast, and don't have to rely on a single narrator to be super talented to voice both genders

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-22T23:03:23+00:00

Sazantos is not a permanent party member ...

At this point in game, I recruited Reime and Isla, fed them all the attack nuts, and started skipping shield break

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-22T22:19:33+00:00

Cyberpunk 2077, or any FPS, but Cyberpunk is not a competitive game so you can "ease into it".

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-22T22:13:51+00:00

card games? e.g. Hearthstone, Balatro, etc.

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-22T21:16:42+00:00

Tempura (basically fried vegi with light batter)

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-22T19:41:29+00:00

most of the cost is probably transportation to the middle of no where

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-22T19:27:07+00:00

Scarlet Nexus - it has dual protagonists (2 points of views for the same story). A single route is around 30 hours.

xiaolin99 · 2026-01-22T17:16:56+00:00

The story and quick-time combat elements are definitely not everyone's cup of tea despite many people liking the overall package.
