@Lios Me niether just commenting on how fucking shit their business model is

I like Paradox games in theory

in theory

However I can't play them, so...

me too

4x is just gay

no one makes fun 4x

sounds good and rich

but it aitn

😄

I like Paradox games in the middle of their update cycle.

I tried CK2 once, I failed miserably very soon

CK2 is just silly

It's not a game, it's an experience

I was able to play Stellaris though, so I think that when it released it was sub-standard by paradox'S standards of complicatedness

Then it got nicely complicated

Of course ever since 2.0 it's a different game

Then it got too complicated

that planetfall plays like youre witnessing someone else's campaign, just get shit for failing xcom missions thrown in here and there

Then it tried to make sense of things, but just fucked over the community-loved New Horizons mod

Paradox: -releases a game-
Players: Neat
Paradox: -changes the game completely-
Players: Nani?!

Forcing space travel to go through lanes disappointed me greatly

Remaining players: Yeah, I get it, this is cool
Paradox: I'M DOING IT AGAIN
Remaining players : N-NANI!?

well you know

Meanwhile, three iterations later, sector AI is still useless <:smugon:512048583806025739>

games are prone to identity politics at least superficially

Dear god sector AI... It only ever got worse.

gamers*

lol

Last I saw it, it was constantly building and deconstructing a single power plant, just losing resources pointlessly

fans* really tbh god i hate 'fans'

lol too much surplus lios

get some immigrants in 😄

They had no bloody surplus! They were constantly in the red and I fed them resources to keep- wait. Holy shit. That AI is smarter than I thought...

Fucking secessionists
