Okay, I'm all good now. Up to Stage 2!

Managing power, what?

Yeah. I was really confused at this part. Just make sure you’re producing enough power to sustain your robots or whatever. There’s something that will tell you how much power you’re using vs power your producing.

I've gotten through it, now I'm at Stage 3. This was weird.

Hey @EVOLGhost, is there anything special you need to do to start exploring space?

I've got quadrillions of probes, speed and exploration are both set to seven, but I still have 0.000000000000% of the universe explored?

EDIT: Nevermind, now at 0.000000000001%

Why on Earth would anyone waste their lives feeding pac men, or invading space when they could be translating the scrolls of Papyrus?

Children. Each and every one of you.

You’re defending earth from space invaders you nerd.

it goes fast from there

Nice try, suchfriendsaredangerous.

What sort of balance do I want to be achieving with my probes' features?

early i boost repair and reproduction
cuz not enough points they dont multiply
later as you get yomi and honor boost speed + combat

Yeah self preservation and reproduction are probably the most important ones.

Despite all the amusing negative hype around larger gaming companies right now, I do have to say I have been enjoying Battlefield V quite a bit. The maps are not quite as well designed as Battlefield 1 I feel, but I still am enjoying the batshit crazy immersion.

Replaying Half-Life. Damn is it fun to shoot up government soldiers.

I got Fallout76 for $20, but I don’t know when I’ll have time to play it. Cowboy Simulator 2.0 gets most of my attention.

That said, Steam Winter Sale is on, and I’m desperately attempting to learn the grognardy Hearts of Iron IV, that will see me certainly playing an Axis power and invading France at the first sign of surrender in their cheese-eating eyes.

Hearts of Iron always looked very fucking intense

I'm having enough of a time wrapping my mind around Age of Empires

god speed, floslo

I’m a little disappointed that Prime has different licensing here. Who knew that when I left Amerikkka that I would be forced to live like the rest of the world?

Been playing Fire Emblem Fates. I like all the changes to the strategy. It could be a little harder. Radiant Dawn and the first one for GBA are maybe still better.

I only really know Path of Radiance on the Gamecube, and played some of the 3DS version on a friend's system once. Fire Emblem is fucking aces though. I get so upset when one of my characters dies, and always reset... meaning I never make much progress since I'm not as good at strategy games as I'd like to be. But man, are did I have fun with the Gamecube one. You'd think I'd just turn of perma-death, but noooo

I just went ahead and bought some old Star Wars games during the Steam sale.

STAR WARS™ - Dark Forces
STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight - Mysteries of the Sith™
STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast™
STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy™
STAR WARS™ Republic Commando™
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (Classic, 2005)



also managed to grab...

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure
Hylics
Ninja Senki DX
Secret of the Magic Crystals
Secret of the Magic Crystals - Dress Up - DLC
Secret of the Magic Crystals - The Race - DLC

I'm really excited to play through the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight saga, as I've heard nothing but good things all around. Also, I just dig the shit out of that universe. I've always thought the Star Wars extended universe was far more interesting than anything the movied ever did with the IP. Maybe I'm nuts. Idk.

Republic Commando and Battlefront 2 (2005) are both supposedly classics. I'm excited because Republic Commando is squad based and I'm pretty sure might scratch my Rainbow Six itch as well. So fuck yeah.

Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 is a game I've been wanting to try for years now. I love strategy, and thick Russian accents, plus the FMV bits are very novel still. I can't wait!



Gurumin is a game I always wanted to play when I had a PSP but never got around to, Hylics looks like the most surreal RPG I've ever seen, Ninja Senki DX was fun as hell NES-like platformer I played on PS4 and for 99 cents I couldn't pass it up, and Secret of the Magic Crystals is some fantasy horse-raising simulator thing w/ cheap DLC that I honestly can't wait to chill out with.



All in all - 12 games + DLC for less than $35 (tax included) makes me very happy, and each of these should be something I can play on my laptop while I sit on my hands waiting for a proper chance to get my whole PC setup back in order.

Dear god, do I love Steam.

Damn. Hylics looks dope as fuck.

THE BEST

I've spent at least 20 hours watching people play this game on youtube just to get a basic idea on how not to be overrun in 1936, and I think that I've finally got it.

last night, the Boiz took Moskau.

Those games are the best. Great commentary.

What's the verdict? fun or no fun?

the commentary had me rolling on the floor

NO MAMEEEEESSSSS!!

YAYYYYY https://www.chairigami.com/store/p30...ge_Chair_.html

this makes like a whole lotta sense for someone who moves a lot.

Ahhh... Super Metroid feels like home.

Sounds unreal on these speakers as well. Hot damn.That Sony SNES sound chip puttin' in work.

against the internet's advice, I'm installing Fallout 76. It's cheap as fuck right now, so even if it sucks IDGAF.

^^^ so....how is it?


I was going to download Resident Evil 2, but instead I got this...

Can't pass up a good Tetris game.

Birthday was a success:



Oh fuck yes. These original xbox games, and Sicilian chicken parmesean w cannolis.

One day I'll get a 360 and be like, "Dayyummmnn look at these graphics!!"

Wait...so there are TWO Hitman 2 games?

This one is the OG, straight up classic

Also the disc which came Morrowind was the GOTY edition w all the expansions. Was. A. Steal. at only $7.99.

Always a top choice

I remember the first Hitman for PS2. I played that one. I'm playing the new "hitman 1" for PS4 or whatever...they just released it free for PS+. Anyway...this is much easier than the originals it seems.

Hitman is fun as fuck! I’ve been missing out on some current gen gaming. Been splitting up the time between SF3 n other games. More breaks usually turn out better for me it seems. Last couple times I’ve been online, ive been doing quite good. I wanna do some serious training in Japan, so I want make sure I’m at the top of my game when I go.

I’ll be back on the grind this evening though. Gotta get gud.

TETRIS 99. Shit is mad fun.
