Quoting: anewsonthe dungeons games are great, but if anyone out there likes the genre and hasn't played War for the Overworld, check it out as well!

I would love this genre, except everything post-Dungeon Keeper seems to be allergic to active/tactical pause. *sigh*

I'm your opinion, how does it compare to dungeon keeper? I really liked off the wall humor of the first one. I think it's expect no less from the genre

Quoting: EikeThere might have been technical reasons as well. Back then when CPUs actually got double the speed after two years, not only some extra cores (which many games will find hard to make additional use of).

Very true. I'd also imagine the CPU design was probably much simpler 10+ years ago, which probably meant it was easier to stay in one socket for longer.

I guess on the one hand. Looking at my machine and the "giant" Noctuna cooler covering half my board.... I'm can kinda see why I'd upgrade everything. Just getting to the CPU is enough to make me want to toss everything out, lol

Sorry guys, didn't mean to cause any controversy.

I guess, depending on your personal building history, a short socket life can be a bummer. I certainly remember people being very mad at AMD and Intel for changing their sockets "too soon". If 2 years of socket life is normal now, I guess it's expected to replace everything on upgrade.

I know socket life used to matter to me at one time, being younger, having more money and expecting to upgrade the processor at least one during a lifetime.
But in reality, I tended to hold onto hardware much longer, way beyond the lifetime of a socket. I guess if that's typical behavior, I could see why they wouldn't invest in long term sockets, since it'll mostly be useless.

I think it's cool, but support until 2025... That seems a little short. Is it?

I mean most won't get these until 2023, and maybe I'm weird, but I don't buy hardware with the intent to replace it in just a few years.

Quoting: pb> "this is impacting us so heavily"

ok, but what if people who go to such extreme measures are from other poor countries that *don't* have regional pricing and instead are paying "regular" prices in usd or euro? and it's their only realistic alternative to just pirating the game?

Assuming some level of reason here, but if they consider thier analysis complete, the fact the can tell the point of sale vs the point of play would seem to indicate they can do that globally. They can likely infer what populations are buying the game by altering the region (look for the inverse, higher rates of play with lower rates of sales).

Wether they did this, we don't know, and if they did, we don't know the results or what discussions they had internally about the change. All we know is what they say, it's significant enough to be hurting thier income.

So it's a consulting company that specializes in Godot? With a possible future focus of console integration?

That seems really niche... Like not supporting a business niche.

Or is it a consulting company that basically acts as a legal bridge to allow porting to consoles (or integrating other proprietary tech)?

I guess that could work. Still seems like a fairly limited customer base or am I missing something?

Quoting: denyasisGas Station Simulator??

Maybe I'm biased, or dumb, or too close to the source material, but I don't really understand at all the appeal of these "blue collar/service" job simulators.

I mean if you're really into it, we have job openings. It's even like an RPG! You start off doing low level work like picking up roadkill and you get to choose you starting equipment (do you want a shovel.... Or gloves?)!!

You can even level up, but it still won't suck up dead animals. Side quest: unclog the Pelican. (Pro tip: pick gloves at the start!)

Lol i agree.....

Im waiting for "Office Worker Simulator"..... Welcome to the mind numbing world of Data Entry...... Work at the same company for three years without your boss even knowing your name........ Have daily fights with the printer that never works and has contant paper jams, even though IT says the printer is fine and no error messages appear it never works and keeps ruining your work...... Work hard and watch as you get passed over for every promotion as they are given to relatives/friends of the bosses...... Make one mistake and watch as your pay gets docked and get an email from any manager above you warning you that you are making to many mistakes..... Beg and plead to your new bosses that you are worthy enough to keep around during a corporate merger, spending months not knowing if you will have a job everyday you turn up for work...... Get escorted out of the building by security after getting fired for making three mistakes in the same calendar year..... ALL THIS AND MORE IN OFFICE WORKER SIMULATOR!!!

Lol, can't say I deal with any of that here, I picked up the Union Member DLC subscription, only $1000 a year (totally worth it)!

Oh, that's cool. I have knock off switch pro controller in my house too. I might have to try to see if I can get them to work along with the joycons

Quoting: RFSharpeYou have to respect a development team that bases their design/marketing decisions on logic instead of profit.

Someone should email this to Paradox!!
