Decided to go ahead and pre-order some video games that are coming out later this year.

Donkey Kong Bananza: Switch 2
Destiny 2: Edge Of Fate: PC
Borderlands 4: PC
Outer Worlds 2: PC

I'm sure there are and will be other games I purchase along the way, but these are games I'm for sure playing and have been looking forward to.

          Finally managed to properly install Caesar III under , to run under the open source re-implementation of the gaming engine, . It wasn't as straightforward under Linux due to case sensitivity on files, and a special tool to unarchive shielded .cab files, but it worked at the end thanks to the wiki. Bear in mind, the game requires the original artwork from 1998 (easily found online).

                          Played a full game of Heat: Pedal to the Metal with the kids, and it's great.

                          Just used the random upgrades this game, but I'm looking forward to sorting out a full championship.

                          It's a fairly simple deck management game, similar to something like GKR: Heavy Hitters, but even simpler.

                          I'm already looking for expansions 😆

                                              What's cool about RAID10 is that it can be converted to RAID0 in place. So when I out of game space and I don't care about keeping the install directories safe (mods, etc.), I can just double my capacity. Neat!

Hopefully it starts picking up a bit as I play. I'm also wondering if I should get any of the DLC now or wait a bit. The DLC is on pretty good sale right now on Steam so that might be something good to pick up.

There are 12 cores with 2 threads each, but the cores are organised in 4 chunks of 3. Each chunk shares 16 MB of L3 cache.

                                                                                            Project TIDAL is an NIH funded study that focuses on trauma-informed data science for abuse prevention in the lives of women- with a focus on pregnancy and postpartum.

                                                                                            The digital games from our Gaming Against Violence program were used to show the value and impact behind what we do, and how thinking outside the box is vital when working towards violence prevention!

                                                                                            Our trauma informed, non-violent games help teach people of all ages about healthy relationships, warning signs, and preventative factors to help stop intimate partner violence.

                                                                                              'Take Unmetal' is a game made in 2021. This can be said because it reflects a style modern games don't tend to use. But many AAA games today play close enough to the games 20 years ago, we can't state these new games to be retro.

                                                                                              Maybe if Xbox had new controller designs like Nintendo we would have a different story.

                                                                                              Or another example. I wouldn't call Fallout 3 retro, except there has been a shift in PC gaming to be more controller friendly, so there is a style to controls and gameplay which you don't find today.

                                                                                                                    I have seen nearly all the endings, including one of the Phantom Liberty ones (I went with Songbird), save for the "hidden" ending (which I looked up after seeing the rest, and I dunno that I want to play through the game again to set that one up. .. yet)

                                                                                                                    Fittingly, there are no "good" endings in Night City.

                                                                                                                    Currently running down all the NCPD Scanner missions, as that's about all I have left to do that I want to actually bother doing. Much as I very much enjoy this game, I've now put another 160 hours into it (prob 170 when I get done with the Scanners) so it's about time to move on. IIRC, I dropped about the same amount of hours in game on the PS5, heh.

                                                                                                                                    You start way ahead, not having to rush railways, or colonisation, or any of the other "must have" technologies.

                                                                                                                                    Belgium is both physically, and politically, well places to take advantage of Prussia, Austria, France, and England, even if you get screwed via the Conference of London; get your relations high enough, and most of Europe will follow you into a war against The Netherlands.

                                                                                                                                    You're well positioned to start colonising Africa early, and if you can punch through to Sokoto (I went via Oyo), you'll have a ready Colonial Administration state with nearly £50m GDP. This is a game changer mid-game.

                                                                                                                                    By late game you can start working on Afghan/Pakistan states like Makran, Kandahar, and Kabul, which will prop up your industry to carry you through to WWI.

If you can take the time and energy to fight for saving pixels, you can definitely sign a petition to protect real lives. It’s pathetic and frankly makes me want to puke.

                                                                                                                                            Don’t tell me you care about trans rights if you won’t back it up with action. Supporting trans rights isn’t harder than supporting game preservation, it just requires the same commitment and care. If you can click “save game,” you can click “sign petition.” It’s that simple.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Minefields! Best things. Deal with most attacks without much effort. Tame some Boomalopes and milk 'em for fuel. Secondary to this is a good mortar position inside the base. Mortars will clean up most things mines don't.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Plan for volcanic and toxic atmosphere events. Indoor barn well provisioned with hay. Slaughter down your herds and ride out the down time. Hydroponic farms also a must to keep food levels up (and they're just faster and make sense).

                                                                                                                                                                                  Research-race for ground penetrating scanners and fabrication benches. Endless supply of metals and components.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Mechas aren't that good for defence, but they're great for sweeping floors, carrying shit and maintaining the hydro farms. Just plan for eliminating the toxic waste. EZ-mode way is unlock shuttles from becoming noble and just dump that shit 'elsewhere', but wastepack atomisers are good also (just annoying to get components for).

                                                                                                                                                                                  Genetically altered slaves are awesome. Create a virus they can pass on to each other that nerfs aggression while turning them into healthy, furry (no clothing needed), brain fried, happy ... slaves.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Highly consider a techno-humanist religion. Comes with tons of benefits like faster research, love of bionics and demands for age-reversal. Follow the precepts and it'll deliver immortal, bionic pawns that are very hard to kill.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Don't overdo vampires - or Sanguophages or whatever they're called. A few are awesome, and great for key roles like leaders and mecha peeps, but too many will create a blood demand that's hard to keep up with. (Creating a slave like virus just for the blood cows can help here.) Vamps are also great to extract genes from to create an immortality virus for the rest of the colony pawns.

                                                                                                                                                                                    Sure, it usually ended in misery. But that's kinda the point. 😊
