minus-squarewarbond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 months agoI wouldn’t feel bad about asking here rather than googling it yourself. I like the engagement, personally.

minus-squareValmond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoIsn’t OSR a bit “plodding to success” as you can always grind up your skills?
minus-squarehemko@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-26 months agoYeah it kinda is, but the skill ceiling in pvp and pvm is massively high. There’s people who can do all the bosses in game eyes closed without hands and then there’s me who can sit clicking that same rock for a year
minus-squareValmond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 months agoOh yeah I remember the mining clicking 😂 with the stone spontaniously combusting 😋

minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·6 months agoYup, I’m still a noob in EU4 after nearly 1000 hours. I’ll get the hang of it eventually. 😅
minus-squareShadowedcross@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 months agoCan confirm, still suck at every PDX game despite a thousand or hundreds of hours in them.
8k hours is a lot.
That’s like PhD level, into a game I’ve never heard of before now.
