I’ve had Airship: Kingdoms Adrift for a while and gave it a go.
It’s got neat broadside naval combat in the air and you can customize components in ports. There’s a small chance to capture enemy ships under certain conditions and make yourself a fleet or send trade convoys on their own from port to port.It has a main mission though and kinda acts like a tutorial so, not sure how far along one has to follow it to unlock everything.
Butt the mission rewards are kind of silly. Gave me some warehouse plans to increase port storage, but no idea when I’ll get to use it or where, if at all.
Need resources probably, but i didn’t get that far and the costs are way above what i can poach.
Then gave me a piece of equipment too big for the ship I have, so again, useless at the moment.Anyway, feels off. Maybe I’ll get back at it, maybe not… Who knows.

It was sold off to venture capitalists. So obviously it’s going to get much worse before finally dying off in a ditch somewhere.

Escapism.
There was an episode in Stargate SG-1 where they find some pretty lights in a temple and they couldn’t take their eyes off it.
The longer you feeded the addiction, the easier it made you forget about everything else, until you forgot to eat, drink or sleep.Not saying social media has the same properties but.. “It’s fun”.

GOG isn’t really recommended for games still being actively worked on. At heart it’s meant for complete games ready for archiving.

Is this part of those OpenAI porn ads?
- Comment on 1 week ago:
It may be that some games are dropping the ball and so players are looking to flock somewhere else.
For example, Helldivers 2 has some loud complainers who advertised both Battlefield 6 and Arc Raiders as potential alternates.
Word of mouth can do a lot of damage if the mouth is loud and persistent enough. - Comment on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 | Review Thread 1 week ago:
Guess it’s really Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2: The Masquerade instead.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
Installed Reverse: 1999 on Monday or so and already have over 20+ hours of play time.
Nonetheless, it’s a gacha game, so I’m slowly reaching the ceiling.
There are several mini-modes to waste your time in and sadly, they’re fun to play - for a while at least.
Don’t know how long this will last, but if you’re into gacha games with weird plots and a ton of words and audio, this thing has plenty of ‘em. - Comment on That didn't last long - Blue Protocol: Star Resonance anti-cheat causing problems on Linux 1 week ago:
I was going to try it, but then I read it was a hollowed out carcass of a Japanese game that went under and was bought out by Tencent’s tethered minions.
Now that they added crap on top of it, i no longer see the needed to actually wade into those murky waters. - Comment on Helldivers 2 director confirms Arrowhead are biting the addition delay bullet while working on performance fixes 1 week ago:
In the meantime, they should make a Helldivers offshoot called Helldivers: Full Steam Ahead, where they dive into Steam’s discussion forums and try to survive the bile lords on that planet.
- Comment on A player before me destroyed a bridge in [the Tides of Tomorrow] demo, so I had to build it again in this narrative adventure where your choices have consequences for others 1 week ago:
Plenty of games have features that rarely get used or no longer attract interest after some years.
So the ones that do and do it well should be appreciated.And yes, seeing mentors on the map can get weird when you don’t know what’s going on with them. Real weird.

Yeah, I’m actually very thankful of veterans on GW2. Even now there’s a system in place where they take charge of world boss raids and help the newbies complete them for the extra rewards.

This will fail because the mainstream players are toxic assholes. Then again, that result will be a success in itself, just not for the game.
- Comment on Is there any way of trying Battlefield 6 without buying it or paying £17 for a 1 month EA Play Pro subscription? 2 weeks ago:
If you Really want to try it out, a helpful steam user, as much as steam users can be helpful, suggested using a streaming service such as GeForce now to play it even on Linux.
I’m not sure, but I believe this bypasses the many requirements this “game” needs.

Just so you know, you can be on an upward spiral if you want. I mean, you still get yeeted in the end, but it will be a fun ride…

- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I remember that originally it was Microsoft’s online attachment to the game which created most problems, that whatever Live service.
Getting rid of it solved many of the initial issues.
Then, only the Bethesda induced issues remained. - Comment on It's a miracle! 2 weeks ago:
Pretty sad this is what we’ve come to see a natural birth and growth as.
I mean I get that vaccines are good for us, but is this really the image of what we are without them? - Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 weeks ago:
Suddenly felt like playing something with friendly fire.
Tried Counterstrike 2, but I lost 5 rounds to bots of the introductory 12 and it let me know I’m not that able anymore.
Then I remembered I had Hell Let Loose and went for that. Yeah, I suck. Can’t see anyone, feels like the foliage is useless to hide me out of sight, I build the wrong things in the wrong places etc.
But it has friendly fire and I’m good at that. - Comment on This week in PC games: Battlefield 6 fends off an onslaught of cool indie RPGs, strategy games, horror games and piss simulators 3 weeks ago:

For now.
There’s a pinned thread in the gog forums about the next-gen version and some customers are kinda asking for it, if you know what I mean…
- Comment on Dune Awakening developers Funcom are laying off an unspecified number of staff 3 weeks ago:
It usually means the foundation of the game (and thus any serious bug fixing) is done and next comes in milking with all kinds of half-baked DLCs and basic maintenance mode.
Conan Exiles died the same way. - Comment on What Are Ya'll Playing? 3 weeks ago:
Mount and Blade Warband with conversion mods.
All the different settings are interesting and each mod has its own specialty that makes it stand out. - Comment on What's your favourite menu music in a game? 4 weeks ago:
Divinity: Original Sin main menu.

That was because we like shootouts. It’s sad yes, but also fun.
