I havenā€™t played in a couple of years, but I was shit at it, as well. Might try again, for laughs/frustration.

Did you get Disco Elysium Mark ?

I havenā€™t managed to talk Anne round to agreeing with me that her new laptop is shit yet :grinning:

I did. Iā€™m still on my first run-through. Rather than bore you with my thoughts Iā€™ll link you to a fairly balanced review which I think sums it up quite well.

Meanwhile hopelessly behind the times I am having a run through Twilight Princess again. AITA for renaming Epona Tesco?

I have developed a bad neck from playing Civ 6 for too long the last few days. I need a new posture.

Been playing Project Cars 2, itā€™s just ace, so far loving the Mazda 787B and Caterham 620R.

Co-op play (or argue the toss about everything :smile:)

The issue I have with Civ 6 is that the early to mid game is the most interesting part. Mid-late game you are just executing actions that lead to inevitable victory.

Stellaris gets around this with mid and late game crises that will really test you if you have difficulty set high enough.

Yes the doom and apocalypse can come from nowhere, keeps you playing with your wits
Mostly i accept the doom and go all in

Yeah I agree. The bombers are totally OTT as well, they just devastate cities and your tanks move in.

That said I donā€™t really play these games to win, I play to build stuff. Iā€™m currently playing Freecol, which is an open source version of Colonization with the limitations and bugs fixed, and Iā€™m setting up a huge logistics system on a massive board. I could win in five turns or so, Iā€™m so powerful, but whereā€™s the fun in that?

Thanks for that, im gonna try and convince the wife to play a computer game, this looks as close as i may get

I have lost many hundreds of hours to openttd just building complex rail systems with little or no point. I especially like the Japan mod so I can build many a bullet train.

Yeah Iā€™ve spent a fair bit of time on that as well! Never got that into Sim City though.

This new Coronavirus is starting to look just like a game of Plague.incā€¦ I hope the real thing is Brutal difficulty and not Easy or weā€™ve had it :disappointed:
