So it's not just me then.

It's a shame as there does seem to be a lot of great mods that could let me have a decent crack at making a European style city.

I just deleted* that game last night, found it way too fiddly.


* Also the new Steam interface has at least one usual feature, the ability to list your game library by install size, very helpful as I need some extra space to do some video rendering.

I don't know, maybe there's some fan sites out there that curate mod collections. Even using recent collections on the Workshop often cause more problems than they help.

At the same time I marvel at the creators that build beautiful stuff like this.

I play CS too!

But what I really play is traffic management the game.

Going through steam, Oh great a D&D game, 'Idle curse of grimock'* , but turns out to be some clicker game, may well be the most mindless game I've ever played.   <_<


And yet I played two to three hours of it before deleting it.   :Embarrass:

Installed Battlefield V again for some mindless WW2 flavored action. For some reason it made me play through the introduction again which consists, among other things, of:

- driving a Pz VI Tiger in North Africa ... in 1941 (the Tiger came into service in 1942)
- fighting in Kasserine Pass ... in 1942 (the battle of Kasserine Pass was in early 1943)
- intercepting British bombers en route to Hamburg 1943 ... during the day (the USAAF bombed during the day, the RAF at night)

The Iwo Jima map is pretty cool, though. Goes from beach landings to fortified positions, up the mountain and through caves and finally to the mountain top.

I am considering buying the Outer Worlds.  It's been a long time since I have played a first-person RPG.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Get the xbox game pass for pc Raz, it's about 4 dollars a month and the game is included.

That's what I'm thinking, until it comes out on Steam. Don't want to support Epic.

Tried call of duty ww2.
Part way through d day and I have to stop playing. I feel so ill. Never came across this on a pc fps before, usually it's a console thing.

I've gotten some very mild queasiness if I get into a 3D FPS-type game after have been away from one for a while.  Readapt quickly though.

You actually found something to like about the new interface? I'm impressed.

I have never been able to play them, nausea is just minutes away.
