Title: Friday is not our God
Post by: Dammit Carl! on August 19, 2022, 08:35:56 AM


Hands-down, one of the best damn driving beats to ever power any song (imho, and all of that).

Dipping my toes in the 7 Days to Die wackiness and am liking it so far.  Kinda cool to fall into that "one more turn/day," thing that means that something has you hooked at least for a bit.

Adios, amigos, and back to the salt mines!

Probably Spiderman Remastered still, some Aurora and MAYBE some DCS if I can squeeze it in. Would love to dig into Regiments, but until I sort my resolution problem out, just have no interest. Also, picked this little plinker up this week so will making a trip to the range. It eats Glock mags. Woot! 'Merica!

  DCS sounds good.  May be trying it out on a new rig this weekend maybe so ....maybe that and definitely enlisted and definitely some boardgames that I will have to clamp down with some clamps or
something clampy.

New rig? What's under the hood?

  It's pretty minimal, but should run DCS somewhat better than my old one -- if it all works out which is still pretty iffy.

Shadow Empire
Title: Re: Friday is not our God
Post by: jamus34 on August 19, 2022, 10:37:56 AM
Probably my usual; some JRPG with a smattering of Shadow Empire and Oxygen Not Included.

Still playing my game of Shadow Empire.  Assimilated a couple of minors and closing in on the capital of my closest major.

Combat Mission: Something-Or-Other. Hopefully one I can win at. And...trying to think if I've done anything to piss-off JH lately-- routine for me anytime he gets a new gun.  :cowboy:

I'm sorry, but my DI would have you doing push ups until he got tired for that comment.  "This is my weapon, this is my gun, this one's for shooting, etc....."   ;D

For me?  BoC work.  Still trying to fix some of the acoustic info for CMO.  For fun?  Combat Mission.

Killing Joke is he most under rated band ever! Awesome song.

This weekend marks the end of my annual training with the NY State Guard, first time as a member of cadre with Officer Candidate School, then back to work Monday :/

In celebration I will be finishing my Attila Total War Fire and Swords campaign as the Tuareg, and I am 3 territories away from victory 😎

Graviteam Tactics Mius Front.

Or Regiments if I can't control myself.  As a 100% single player gamer I should support this game right  ! ?
Title: Re: Friday is not our God
Post by: Gusington on August 19, 2022, 02:46:41 PM
YES
Title: Re: Friday is not our God
Post by: SirAndrewD on August 19, 2022, 02:54:04 PM
YES.  Regiments is extremely good.

It's what would happen if Eugen games actually had a properly done single player experience built for people with human reflexes.

That's really not fair. You can slow Eugen games down to a damn near pause. The Wargame and Steel Division series are all exceptional.

I have never really been able to get into them in single player as I do Regiments.  I know people love them.  I keep trying but something about them just never won me over.

I try Steel Division 2 probably every month and end up shelving it.  I guess I don't have the attention for their scale.

Regiments feels a lot more comfortable to me in how its constructed.

Fair enough. I only wish I could play Regiments, but I refuse to do so in 1920x1440. Not in 2022 on a 43" 4K monitor.

Shadow Empire
Been watching DasTactics' latest foray into this (albeit with a new beta build) and will be diving in again myself.  Such a cool game.

Have a good one.
