Well yes but actual no. While 4X games are turn based strategies where most rules are implemented through simple math, the obscene scale and complexity means they'd be impossible to implement on a board. And that's before even considering fog of war.
For a TBS to work as a boardgame, it must have a real-world mechanical solution to its secrets (cards, Stratego units, etc) and it must be simple enough for humans to execute all of the logic within the game.
Cute but the preview shows a lot of google apps that have been rebranded. How out of date is this?
Nobody could have predicted this! :P
How many users did Jabber/XMPP have in 2004?
recommending everyone I knew to switch to it
I think we've isolated the problem. Everyone is aware of the risk this time. nobody is going to abandon their Fediverse accounts for Threads.
Just because it's a circlejerk doesn't mean it's inaccurate.
Leading preventable cause of death of children and main source of climate change emissions is worth being radical about.
And where are they "making shit up" or "picking on non-issues"?
This is a nice summary and the law is good (but imho too little too late) but what the hell is "stoppopulationdecline.org"?
Battery locomotives don't have enough range to be useful solo, but they're a handy to add on to an existing train to give it regenerative braking and improve it's efficiency.
You want practically zero emissions train, you build overhead catenary wires. But that's decades old tech that just works, it's not sexy futuristic stuff.
I'm more talking about API level. There isn't a proper standard operating-system-level interface in Windows for gyro, so 3rd party controllers don't have it, so it's not really a thing in Windows/Xbox-first games.
This will raise the floor so every gamepad will be expected to have gyro.
So we need to deflate prices in other ways.
You can't redistribute your way out of a shortage.
Honestly, I've only ever spent over 100+ hours on a game I felt "meh" about once before that I can think of (it was Disgaea).
In any game with RPG elements like unlocks and numbers-going-up (and these days that's all of them), it's always worth asking yourself "am I really enjoying this, or am I just anticipating the next carrot it's dangling in front of me"?
Like, I used to play Civ games way too much, and now I don't because I realized that the actual fun parts of the game were kind of fleeting and most of it was about The Next Thing.
The idea that I, as a Big City Ontarian, in this very specific case, am somehow not a come-from-away is hilarious.
Sorry, eh?
