I follow all the trek Lemmy communities, I’ve seen every episode of every trek ever made multiple times, and I’ve played 3000+ hours of Stellaris… Yet I didn’t buy this game which seems like it was made specifically for me. It just came across as a heavily lobotomized copy of Stellaris. Super disappointed in this game, it could have been a license to print money if they’d just… Tried. This is WAY worse a game than the star trek mods for stellaris.

When you’re right, you’re right.

What about climate change? Murder rates going down is nice, but murders impact individuals. Climate change impacts civilizations.

What about our inaction on climate change? We’ve made very small advances and it threatens the fundamental existence of organized human society within a single human lifespan of right now. Everything else is rather insignificant by comparison. Rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic

I hover briefly in the air, next to my bed, and hold up a sign that says “uh oh” before I fall a couple feet to the ground onto carpet. I might hit my head on the nightstand, but I feel like I got off easy compared to most other people.

If I had to guess the answer would be time and land usage. A single humidity and temperature controlled facility could likely produce huge amounts of densely packed mycelial wood substitute compared to a huge forestry area that takes many years.

This is exactly how I feel. I wiped my primary account but not my porn alt, and I’m sad about it

Why didn’t they call it “Terraforming Mores”??

You’re wise and I should follow your lead. Will I, though… sigh

I’m not sure the article convinces me this’ll be more than a reskin of stellaris, which is my most played game of all time, but given that this is my favourite IP of all time…? Can’t say I won’t buy it on launch day.

I think it’s more like

Healthy, Fast, Cheap, Delicious

Pick 2

Agreed, it definitely struck me as a possible lost in translation turn of phrase

I checked and ensured there were no updates pending. Where is the ad removal options in the settings?

How do I remove the ads without the ultra subscription? I can only see the full ultra suite options.

I agree that level scaled enemies are immersion breaking. I also LIKE being able to return to the starter area and feel like a demigod sometimes for a sense of progress. It would be nice if some areas had plausible reasons to level scale. Perhaps an organization rivalling the PC which is well organized and funded, that is forced to equip it’s troops with ever increasing gear to counter your ballooning power. Something like that would allow for scaling in some places and not others.

I finished ixion today amazingly, glad to see it get a mention.

Ixion is fantastically fun but definitely a longer time sink compared to what is described here for against the storm (which I haven’t played but am interested in).

Ixion has multiple chapters and if you fail, the game restarts you at the chapter start or a manual save. I liked that mechanic although as a new player I made some design decisions that I regretted later on which were somewhat challenging to completely fix. Those slightly hindered me later on in the game.

So hyped!!! If there’s anything I can do to help test I’m happy to contribute however I can. If there’s a discord or something I’d also love to join
