It's no Brave New World intro, or even a Beyond Earth intro, but it's good. Firaxis sure know how to make an intro to a Civilisation game, with lots of grandeur. The girl's giant bug eyes are a bit off-putting though.

Nice. I went from 2500 down to 1300 earlier this year. I know I could do a second pass and get rid of even more but the process is so incredibly boring and tedious that I just don't get around to it.
Fun fact, in case you haven't already figured it out yourself... the Humble Bundle is the number one enemy of the -1 crusade. They have had so many bundles where they would give a single key for 3-5 games together and you can't get rid of individual games from that set because removing that license would remove all 5 games in it. And so you get stuck with three games you don't want because there were two that you did. Humble Bundles and to a lesser extent, Steam collections.
Yeah pretty much. If you've regularly been buying bundles over the last couple of years, not only will you reach the point where you don't remember buying some games, but you won't even know their names. Most of us already have games we'd like to play but can't find time for so why bother keeping something you don't even know you own and will never actually want to play?
Besides, there's always the safety net of being able to recover any removed license if you are weak willed or make a mistake

Speaking of anime, I just 100 percent'ed Delicious! Pretty Girls Mahjong Solitaire, which was brought up in this thread not too long ago, in just under 12 hours. The main game-play loop (solitaire mahjong on a strict timer that refills when you remove blocks) is really good, though you'll be doing levels over and over again since you frequently end in a unsolvable situations. Stages consist of 3 levels, where progression through the third level will progressively replace the costume of anime eye-candy with a different costume. There are a total of 7 characters to begin with, and an 8th character that is unlocked once every other stage is completed.
However, the "eye-candy" in the game is borderline absurd, as it quickly becomes clear that the artist (or whoever commissioned them) has a fetish for gigantic breasts. Back-breaking, gravity defying, ginormous breast fetish. Also, the characters will make "cute" comments as you remove blocks, which quickly becomes extremely repetitive (especially if you are stuck on a level). Eventually I just muted everything except basic sound-effects and moved the screen to one side, so that I could watch SGDQ while playing, which honestly made for a more exciting experience.
I would still recommend the game, though, provided that you are not gaming in public.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but Senpai is a middle aged white male construction worker in China. Walls are his passion. Great senpais build great walls.

They used charactes from all of their Hentai-games for that game, so thats why. I mean when you choose the girls, that Milf-type even is in a 69 position, but they cut the image so you cant see what the original looked like.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
While we're at it, there is a surprising correlation between Nintendo avatars and racists.

Hah! Well that certainly explains that.
This is also true. I was bullied by Nintendo avatars at school in the 90s.

Great music and I am liking the 16-bit era platformer feel of it.

I suddenly have King's Bounty: Crossworlds Pre-Order in my library
And we're gonna make Milamber pay for it.
Well, in my defense it's not about some weird, compulsive hang-up with a game but being able to find something new to try out when I'm bored. I look at all of those games and my eyes just glaze over. It's nice to look at my A section (so far) and see that they're all something I'd at least want to install and try out.

Civ games are just tutorials for Paradox's Grand Strategies.

How do we put this lightly
anime avatars = alt right
zootopia = a discussion on race for kids
i'd say they are polar opposites
with actual gameplay.
not gonna touch stellaris while civ is new, and the winter sale is just around the corner

The kneejerk defense in that thread is kind of sad.
HolyBaikal broke down mentally because there was a dildo in a game, so no.
Fair enough.
I'm hoping the initial Plantoids Species Pack DLC goes on sale when Leviathans lands. Man, that thing was overpriced.
Think Paradox got the message with their Leviathans pricing, which is WAY more reasonable respective to the content level.
VERY.
Did you play and like Doom (2016)?
I'm in the boat that both are pretty awesome. Stelaris has a bit of a wobbly midgame, which is exactly what leviathan aims to, and seemingly looks like it will solve.
At the same time, Civ is pretty important, so I'm setting Stelaris to one side, playing Civ till the holidays when I will get leviathans. Then I will spend all Christmas playing strategy games!!!
I bought it, but I haven't been able to download it yet (speeds suck atm).
The Gold Edition is $4 right now (which is 1 & 2 in HD), so that's why I'm asking.

There's a bios update for evga 1070's that are running micron memory. It's supposed to make the memory work better.
what's the price for Leviathans going to be? I was put off by the price of the species pack because it's just portraits iirc

No, they are absolute trash. Even co-op can't save them. Proof: I helped Bus stream his run of the (whole?) series.

Have people had luck with Rocksmith has a learning tool? Had started to learn chords a few months ago but then I lacerated a tendon. Hand has mostly healed now and I wanted to get back into it and I'm trying to decide if buying the Rocksmith cable is worth it.
I have no idea about it in the long/end game ish type term, but I've seen people have at least an okay guitar basics or I guess I should call it guitar familiarity through solely Rocksmith.
I thought the Serious Sam games were good?

I've learned that people with comic avatars are cool.
That's something I can agree with.

I had real, in-person lessons for about...a year and a half to two years. Afterwards, I relied entirely on Rocksmith. Between the two, I certainly progressed more quickly with Rocksmith, and it definitely helps that it's "fun". The way it ramps up difficulty the better you get is great, and it's actually not terrible for teaching the basics.
In terms of "learning" real lessons are obviously much better if you have no experience whatsoever. However, once you have a basic understanding, I'd lean more towards Rocksmith, mainly for two reasons:
- It's actually pretty decent at teaching you stuff, without beating you over the head with it.
- Being able to play music you like, being able to play the minigames, etc. are really important in terms of making you want to practice. Learning is great, but eventually you reach a point where you can plateau with your current skillset and get bored. Rocksmith really helps break things up, keep things interesting, and most importantly, keep you playing. Keeping up a practice routine is the hardest part, and Rocksmith is really great in that regard. The only way to break through a plateau and learn more advanced skills is through practice, and if you're just playing riffs off tabs or repeating Youtube videos things get really, really stale. Especially without any outside feedback.
Also, depending on what you want, Rocksmith (original) is the better music game. Rocksmith 2014 is the better music tool. Both are great in their own respect, but if Rocksmith (original) was updated with the enhanced accuracy and songs from 2014, I'd say it'd be hands-down more fun. As it stands, Rocksmith 2014 is the best, just for the better accuracy, and the song import from the original Rocksmith.
There's a group of people on NeoGAF who very vocally say they hate the Serious Sam games. They are of course just joking because the Serious Sam games are excellent fun.
