Lol indeed. Well this has been fun, you have a particularly delicious lack of self awareness that I always appreciate in these sorts of discussions so I look forward to seeing your next very helpful and clever contribution in future threads.

Have fun!

I’m not expecting to make any kind of point, I’m just giving you a well deserved ribbing for being an asshole. It’s strictly for entertainment purposes.

If you think the only explanation for someone taking issue with you is they are stupid or don’t understand sarcasm, I really don’t know what to tell you.

As I said before, I admire your confidence even if it is sorely misplaced. If you don’t want to listen to me though there’s this neat button right under my comment there that says ‘block user’ if you don’t wish to read my replies. Just trying to be helpful, of course!

It’s not that I don’t like your tone, I’m always down for a sarcastic quip. What I don’t like is dishonest people. You must think we’re all incredibly stupid if you expect anyone to believe your intent was to help by pointing out the upvote button.

I do admire your confidence, however misplaced, and your commitment to embodying your username though.

I really hope you’re not suggesting that you honestly think someone didn’t know about the upvote button? What a silly thing to imply that your sarcastic comment was supposed to be in some way actually helpful to someone.

You know if you don’t think a comment adds to the discussion there’s a purpose built button for you to express that exact sentiment? It’s right below the one you pointed out in your very helpful diagram.

It is better to buy for the emperor than save for yourself

“Front towards hacker”

They tried to replace him one time and the fans lost their shit, leading to a reversal. I remember the outrage, apparently he wasn’t even contacted for the role in Hitman Absolution and had no idea he wouldn’t be voicing it until the trailer came out for it with a different voice actor.

Fans tweeted at him asking why he wouldn’t be doing the voice this time around and he was just like “I have no idea guys, nobody has spoken to me about it at all.”

Oh man, I was going to wishlist it and wait but now I’ll have to buy it on launch week.

EDIT: Sabre Interactive understands that the Emperor’s light shields the faithful, making dark machine rites like Denuvo unnecessary. Such heretical rites only agitate the machine spirits, causing discordant whispers that play into the hands of the enemies of Man. The Omnissiah smiles upon this decision.

Yeah exactly, from my understanding these are some of the most popular and best selling games around so… completely unnecessary

Were there some problems with sales of the previous Civ games or something that necessitate this?

I used to prioritise buying on other storefronts like GoG, but now I just wait for the game to come out on Steam. It’s simply too convenient. The fact that Steam may one day not be so good is not a particularly compelling reason for me, you could apply the same argument to every other storefront equally.

I’m going to use the service that puts money and effort into supporting Linux and provides the most convenience to me.

Guns also

Surely it has nothing to do with Starcraft

/s

Oh yeah that would be a different story. All good!

TIL criticising a government’s actions is racist, actually

Get out of here, Russia

Fired up Cosmoteer again recently. It’s pretty fun to design your ship and slowly improve it over time. It’s been years since I played so I’m very much looking forward to sinking some more hours in and seeing what I can come up with. My ships are usually pretty ugly but hey, I still have fun with it.

I saw a bit of footage from a creator I follow and it looked alright to me. Could be the theme and setting doing a lot of heavy lifting to be fair though.

Won’t be a launch day purchase from me but I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on it.
