So Valmy, how goes your career as judge of the revolution?

Oh it is fun. I am honor bound to play every France based game in French and usually that is no big deal since most of the time it is a strategy game of some sort. But this time I have to pay careful attention to exactly what is said and that is a little tricky :P

:)

If you want to learn a bit Chinese (or wait for a [fan] translation), there's also what appears to be Final Fantasy Tactics set in the French Revolution with anime girls. :P

QuoteBanner of the Maid is a Turn-Based Strategy Game set in the late 18th century to early 19th century, based on the alternative history of the French Revolution.

Over 30 maps, including cities, plains, snowy mountains, etc. Utilize the unique elements on the battlefields to ensure advantages.

Looks like an official English translation will be released on 14th February. :P

But no French translation? :(

I mean showing off your boobs was à la mode at the time so it is not completely historically inaccurate :P
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

You do get what I assume is a very dashing Murat, though. :P

Maybe it's time for some CM:BtB again.

From old games.



"there's a long tradition of insulting people we disagree with here, and I'll be damned if I listen to your entreaties otherwise."-OVB

"Obviously not a Berkut-commanded armored column.  They're not all brewing."- CdM

"We've reached one of our phase lines after the firefight and it smells bad—meaning it's a little bit suspicious... Could be an amb—".

It's weird to think that CM:BtB is closer to WW2 than we are to CM:BtB.

Played around with Foundations - a medieval themed city builder which focuses on production chains. 

It is still in alpha so there is a lot yet to be implemented.  But it looks good already.

So... are there any good porn games out there, or is Skyrim with porn mods the way to go?
Skyrim with porn mods.  Better engine.  And you could probably fuck a lizard. Or a horse.  It seems to be highly moddable.

nVidia released it's video game streaming service, called Geforce Now. It has two tiers right now, one is free and one at 5 bucks a month with a 3-month free trial.

Google Stadia's streaming service requires you to buy games for Stadia even if you already own them on Steam or whatever. Geforce Now actually uses Steam's library (and Uplay and Epic), so you can actually play games you already own (revolutionary stuff, I know).

So now I'm using my laptop with integrated graphics to play DOOM, Anno 1800, Destiny 2, and EU4 at 1080p 60 fps on my couch in the living room. Pretty slick stuff.
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

Tactical WW2 game Nations at War by Lock&Load coming. The look of the gameplay in the trailer should please the more old school grognards and counter pushers:
