They were advertising it on the Paradox launcher for a while on Cities Skylines and it seemed like kind of a large risk for Paradox but I don’t exactly know why I felt that way.
It seemed like too much advertising for a turn-based tactics game or something. I like turn-based tactics games but it’s certainty a niche genre.
rClone is so awesome! It does so much that I wanted for so long.
Oh the OP repo is based on rClone, I didn’t realize. Even better!
I opened it just to see some of the photos, and my browser crashed. The photos aren’t even good, don’t even open the link.
I don’t think I realized Kotaku had gotten this bad. Yikes!
I’m always curious about how hard it is to make insane nonsense that’s hard to disprove. Like, 100% randomization seems like it could be easier to detect vs. more believable things added by people.
So then you have to spend time making it believable…
Ooooh, I feel dumb that I didn’t pick up on this before.
I knew about movies (Top Gun and all) but not other things, for whatever reason.
I just want to say, I don’t think you’re the village idiot. The fediverse is honestly pretty confusing right now and I would have expected what you used to work too.
This list is so comprehensive, I’ve been looking at it for quite a while and found lots of communities I hadn’t seen before. Thanks for posting it!
Lmao you’re so fixated on sim racing, you responded to it twice in the same post!
We can say that about anything, but lots of us choose not to because it’s more fun. You should try, it’s not hard.
“A flight simulator doesn’t feel like actually flying.” “Reading a book isn’t like actually being there.”
Neat.
You may like BroForce, a run-and-gun game where you unlock different characters as you go. I had a really good time with coop!
Yeah, I honestly had to Google it because it sounds like such pointless advice. In combat especially, how does “trusting the dice” help at all?
I think what they mean is “trust that the game will turn a lot of failing dice rolls into something interesting in a way a GM might.”
If someone is releasing, say, a western XCom clone and expecting Baldur’s Gate 3 level success, they might have another thing coming… Since it would have a niche audience.
Like, obviously I’m not talking about games like Baldur’s Gate 3 here, I assumed that was obvious from context but I may not know what Lamplighter’s League is like!
I was assuming it was more like Hard West, or Wargroove, the Fire Emblem series, Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics… there’s a difference between a specific genre and games that are turn-based and require strategy. Hopefully that makes sense.
Also half of the games you listed are pretty old (10+ years). Yeah, it’s a bit niche. But go off weirdo
There’s also the Mario + Rabbids series which is still pretty niche if you’re asking me.
