    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    And Battletech is eating me up yet again. It's fun to drop 6 mechs plus a tank immediately! It does make for longer battles, though. Last night, I had a mission to destroy some buildings. They had a whole bunch of turrets around them and, before I even got to them, I was attacked by a Locus...

    Interesting idea. And that's probably what I said when it was announced, too, and then never thought about it again.

    Where's the appalled reaction?? Guess I'll just laugh. I thought X4 was bad taking 2 minutes to load a save (it has since gotten faster). Battletech Advanced is nowhere near even 10 minutes. Maybe 10 minutes to start the game, pick a mission, and get into the battle.

    The Final Fantasy series has a spell named after the Ultima series! View: https://youtu.be/vVnzdVN3poA?si=0eX1caM7fClf_LkL

    Finished TV series—who watches?

    So, I'm watching the Star Trek: Next Gen episode with the Casino Royale. In it, they find a book. Riker hands it to Data and orders him to summarize the story. HELLO! Is that the first use of AI to summarize a long, written work in TV?? P.S. Data has a positronic brain, right? Positrons...

    Wow, look at him kick off... the edge of that broken wall in slow motion? I want to know about that car that seems to have crashed through the cement wall without getting a scratch!

    General Strategy & Sim thread

    I started messing around with BattleTech Advanced. This is a pretty huge mod, adding a ton to the game! There are FAR more mechs, more weapons, alternate fire modes (one missile launcher lets you pick between long and short range ammo, for instance), and pilot skills. You can field more mechs...

    I don't think I'm going to bother with the rest of Outward. There's just not enough fun there. Still, I easily got my $2 out of it with 25 hours played, even if half of it was just walking along with the W key pressed. It would probably be a lot more fun in co-op, having somebody to chat with...

    That's determined by the speed of the car and the radius of... oh, no it isn't! Who's going to notice 15rpm difference at that speed?? They could put them at any speed they want! Or maybe they just swap the tires out for tires with blurry hubcaps that don't rotate at all once the car gets going.

    General Game Discussion thread for April 2026

    Say you're playing a game with motion blur turned off and your framerate locked at 60fps. You're cruising down a highway next to another car. If that car's wheels are turning 120 times per second (or 180 or 240), then shouldn't the wheels appear to be not rotating at all? Or, if they are...

    There is an elephant in the room. It has a nuke strapped to it.

    They won't want to, but I'm assuming here that their servers or staff or whatever are getting too overloaded by all the new games. If they can't handle all the input, they've got to restrict it somehow. That's the easy way to do it. Let'm. If there's an actual lawsuit, Valve will point at...

    Funny Screenshots and short videos

    I'm trying to go to the next zone. View: https://youtu.be/zaqxmhv_q4o Yes, this game was made in Canada - land of the death-dealing reindeer. P.S. You ain't fooling anybody by making the back glow red instead of the nose.

    `merica and QUITE a few partners! It was a lot like watching a launch back in the 70's! Even got the planned (?) hold at T-10m.

    Back-Catalogue of Games.

    If Johnway just tries the game real quick and moves on, it makes all my achievements look rarer. I heartily approve of this approach! ;)

    If it ever gets to be too much for Steam, they've got a real simple solution: charge $10,000 to post your game. That will drop the number of games showing up. Once they catch up, they can drop the price down to $1000 per game to keep it sane long term.
