It’s so weird that elves are now the good guys. They were actually dream spirits that give you nightmares (engl. nightmare ≫ german Alptraum = elf dream). And no, they weren’t described having otherworldly beauty.

It’s also believed that nordic elves and dwarfs are the same beings in the Edda. The nordic word for elf is álfr which often is part of dwarf names.

Earth Defence Force 5

There’s mostly only some really funny voice over during the missions. EDF6 is already there but the developer always takes his time to translate the game into English.

I recommend Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

It’s a tactical role playing game which means you have a bunch of characters that you level up in and outside of tactical battles.

Maybe you like it.

It’s not about that.

If the game loop doesn’t run at the same speed as the render loop you’ll get ‘tearing’ - some game objects are at the latest state, some are not. That can cause some funky bugs.

Because it’s easier to programm a single thread that executes a sequence of commands like [ update-gamelogic, update-graphics, etc. ] instead of at least 2 threads (for gamelogic and graphics) that you have to synchronize somehow. Synchronization can be pretty difficult!

If Valve really allows nix then future mods & stuff can be provided through that. As long as a person manages to create a nix config for whatever everyone can let nix replicate that on any device anywhere and anytime.

That guy managed to install and run Blizzard games? Share the config.

That other guy is able to tweak an intricate feature? Just share the config.

How much knowledge do gamers need to apply that config? Close to nothing.

It’s a really neat thing.

I really liked both Freespace games and also played FSO. 🥰 Too bad there’s no FS3. 😭🤧😢

Elite Dangerous has nice graphics and fantastic sound but I find it boring. 😪

X4 is less of a space shooter and more of a economy simulator. 🤑

Xiaomi Mi 10T with LineageOS 19 (there’s no v20 for it) I bought it because I needed a new one that supports 5G and didn’t cost a fortune.

Next one might be a Fairphone 5 whenever it comes out. Or a Pixel with GrapheneOS.

I’m also interested in a mobile that runs Linux instead of Android (see PinePhone). But there’re none that have good/current hardware.

Could have been a Stellaris DLC.

I hated the base building too. It’s a really tedious system with a bad UI. I really hope it’s just an optional feature in Starfield.

In the gameplay trailer they said something like putting the base parts together and then finishing something in them. It sounds like there’re some sorts of decorations/contraptions you have to add inside a built room. It would be completely fine if the rooms themselves do or provide something without cluttering the interiors.

16 times the details!

I’m waiting for

• Cyberpunk 2077 DLC
• Cities Skylines 2
• Kerbal Space Program 2 (1.0 release)

But before that I need to buy a new computer. Mine’s too weak.

C&C!

Pokemon?

Titanfall?

The next big thing are full RT graphics without rasterization. The industry will then need the next 10 years or so to fully adapt on that.

After that there won’t be any more great improvements. RT already means full realism. You can’t make it more realistic.

Yeah and after ES6 they might do a Fallout 5. If that also takes 10 years he’ll retire before it releases.

Do not pre-order!

Probably the same freedom you have in Skyrim: Nothing changes except you now have an additional quest line.

Skyrim in space…

I’ll wait for tests. I’ll also need a new gaming rig. My old one won’t be able to run this game.
