  1. Well, very late game Civ VI froze and crashed my computer.

      Add in early mid game. I have a feeling it's the Nvidia driver. I marathon this on the first day with no problems but now two crashes...

      Well then I might wait to install the new driver...

      The new driver doesn't even allow me to load up a game. I'm moving back to the one before Civ VI came out.

  2. Can a handful of musket-men defeat the horde of sword wielding, warmongering, maniacs? Let's find out in Kongo-India War 2. Yes, they started the first war.
  3. If those ports are anything to go on... an optional add-on disc drive could work. Of course there's the issue of hardware compatibility between the Wii U and the Switch. If they can over that hump then we can relive the SNES days with multiple add-ons for NES cartridges, disc or floppies... I even recall a Gameboy one. Shit was kind of insane when you think about it. And one more thing: Can Nintendo get their heads out of their asses and finally come out with a true Nintendo account so online can be effortless? A man can dream...
  4. People are reporting to seeing some frame drops with Zelda when they switched from docked to mobile. Perhaps it takes a moment for the performance to stabilize at 720p or the mobile hardware is actually having trouble keeping up performance at even 720p.
  5. Yeah, I just found that map. Making a mishmash of iconic western/near-western locations works too.
  6. So we got Wyoming. Only state I can think of mashing together bisons, ranching, nice nature and oil. There is also the option of Colorado but I don't think many people would've liked to cross the Front Ranges to head out further west until the railroad crossed it. Hell, I don't recall that route in Oregon Trails... anyhow here, I'll do it:
  7. That controller looks kind of uncomfortable, especially when separated. Other than that, show me 2-3 games (Zelda and Mario) at launch and a couple within the year of launch and I may be game. Western third-party support would be nice and crucial for success outside Japan. It also would be nice if Nintendo encourage some Japanese third-party devs to release outside Japan. The stuff on Steam shows that the audience can be around. Just got to start out with a large install base at launch then feed us ever few months. Not sure of the source but here's Nintendo's partners for the Switch. Please understand, Nintendo, you got to keep these guys around.
  8. Make America Great Again! You can see it in my avatar. It's Trump's slogan for his campaign. SAD.
  9. Might be my last game for a long while. Edit: Got my key and into my Steam library.
  10. http://www.macgamestore.com/product/6241/Sid-Meiers-Civilization-VI/ Civ VI 20% off so $47.99. Keys are NOT out yet so no preloading or anything. They should be out by Friday since I think people with Macs have trouble preloading so they don't release keys beforehand anymore to stop it. I should note that this is the Mac store but it shouldn't matter they're all go through Steam that activates the same version as Windows. Edit: It's dead now.
  11. I totally forgot that I have a 3DS XL that can play Sun and Moon... the only problem is this game is gimped by the joy stick. I can't spin in place easily! Maybe it's easier with the newer models... but seriously, check this shit out. GOTY material.
  12. I just kind of realized that I don't think terms like Asian American seemsly exist in most other countries. Asian British or African German seems like odd combinations of words. It gets better if I use country of origin but even then it is a bit odd. Maybe I'm frazzled from just waking up and it all will fit together soon.
  13. How much despair will you have if the game is more of a Red Dead Online than a single player experience? You all know how amazing GTA Online is right?
  14. There will never be a Sleeping Dogs 2 now.

      Pretty sure S-E owns the IP, so it's not outside the realm of possibility. The only thing hinting against it is the fact that they had UFG make that stupid Triad Wars dog shit instead of SD 2.

    2. Mal

      I'm personally not convinced that it was all UFG fault for Triad Wars. S-E is known to be kind of special in their decision making process. UFG had the talent to make a SD2 but now it would be a gamble if it happens with whichever studio S-E picks.

  15. In the Halloween spirit: cute girls doing witchy things Airing January 2017. It'll be a nice and cozy ride. And mudblood shaming I suspect.
  16. Finally got volumes 5 and 6 of Saga, so about a year worth of chapters. Still great as always. Also still have killer cliffhangers at the end of volumes. The next volume is out in late March then the next one towards the end of the year. God is following this series suffering.
  17. Gears 4 looks kind of cool. Great care was taken to make it but I'm just not sure about UWP.

    1. TheMightyEthan

      TheMightyEthan

      If you're concerned about technical issues, I've read that Gears 4 is technically amazing even with UWP.

    2. Mal

      Mal

      I'm just unsure about UWP as a platform and everything tied to it.

  18. After this terrible segment by Fox News in NYC Chinatown, Asian Americans have been really talking and thinking about the Asian American experience. Shit like this has always been there but with my and other close generations, I think this is going to increasingly be talked about. At least for Chinese Americans with parents who came over in after American and Chinese relations got good in the 70's, a lot have and are now starting families. I'm sure similar things is going on with Koreans, Japanese, those from the various Southeast Asia countries and let us not forget those from and around India*. Some of us just take it, some of us speak up and some of us spit fire back but as a collective I think as a whole, we are really think about how we are treated by some people and as a collective. *Distinct but I think are close. While technically Asian, from Pakistan and westwards are probably distinct from what most people consider Asian. Frankly, these distinctions are pretty messy and arbitrary. Also folks of that part got a whole other suite of issues to deal with (e.g., durka durka).

    Android Phones

    Maybe it's time to switch carriers and phones. I'm looking at Google Fi with those two phones they have.
  20. That Star Citizen Dune sandworm really drives home that I want a modern Dune game. I want to wrangle Shai-Hulud.

  21. Okay, for sure now Attack on Titan has really gone off the deep end. I cannot stop reading. Send help.
  22. Chinese style. Another recipe with better directions. Some people do remove the shell while eating it but back when I was a child/teenager I slowly got annoyed with it and honestly, removing the shell kind of makes the entire frying process pointless. So I started to eat them whole. Sometimes I may remove the head and tail, somethings not. It depends on how well fried the shrimp is.
  23. You should give Stardew Valley a whirl if you haven't yet. "Just one more day..." and suddenly you're up till next in game season.
  24. I'm waiting for Slime Rancher to be more feature complete before I jump in. I know it's my kind of game but Subnautica, another good early access game, made me pull back a bit from experiencing potentially good games before they are done. And yeah, Hyper Light Drifter is hard.
