Good bit, belongs in c/badposting though.

I mean I like the spirit he has, but holy shit he needs to shut the fuck up he wont be able to change the name of Linux in popular culture and it’s just annoying at this point.

Best wishes to your dad!

Hopefully the game becomes playable by next week.

Definitely top 3 white people.

Yeah sounds good to me then. I remember when Galactic Paragons dropped and the game just folded in on itself lol. What should we play then? Civ 6? Hoi?

It’s a newish engine, I think it’s the Vicky 3 one, but it still has core limits, I think it just now supports multi threading. So instead of 1 instruction at a time you get 2!!! Wow!!! Great improvement guys!!

Pretty much, but it’s even worse. Pdx games have a modal speed system, with the first 4 speeds being set instructions limits, but the 5th max speed is literally just the hardware limit, and even then it leads to issues in multiplayer where 5 speed causes desyncs since players with faster / slower computers are out of line with the host. It’s just a poor system.

Paradox games are all single-core cause the devs (read: execs) keep reusing engines from the stone age, so it doesn’t matter how beefy the computer is. It’s all being run one instruction at a time, every tick for each nation. Performance just keeps dipping each game as complexity grows.

Hexbear mappies when?

I agree!

It’s the natural progression of things

I definitely will then!

Stellaris would be super fun :D. I haven’t touched it in well over a year.

Yeah I’ve been in those threads. It’s cool to discuss our interests, but I also think it might be productive to have a separate thread for multiplayer games, that way we still have that thread for our deranged ramblings over indie games we found in some dusty old corner of the internet.
