It’s about control.

Many thanks for the tips! Graveyard Keeper and Traveler’s Rest look interesting. The rest is pretty much exactly what I don’t want in terms of style haha.

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it is, yes.

Will check it out, thank you!

Looks like I need an alternative. An alternative for which there is still no prospect of enshitification. Which services are neither American, Chinese nor Russian? Anything from Europe?

I remember when High-end-GPUs were around 500 €.

Not sure yet. I have once prepared a short incoming radio call that was like 2 minutes, I guess. What do you have in mind?

And the players be like: ‘Nooo! The game was meant to be so difficult! Now they make a super-easy mode where you don’t even have to play the game at all! And anybody can watch it!!!’

Unfortunately greed is rampant in the PC market, too.

I think you might like ‘Rogue Trader’, even if you don’t know anything about the 40K universe. Cool story, choices and fights.

Don’t worry too much about not knowing the background lore. The game contextualizes a lot in dialogues and even little mouseovers. But be careful, if you like SciFi, you might fall into the awesomely rich and grim rabbit hole, that is Warhammer 40K.

The Emperor protects.

I usually hear them before I can see them, when walking with my dog. They can be really loud (mostly red ones around here). My dog usually doesn’t even notice.

Suka!

Assassin’s Greed

Same here. Fortunately it’s PVE and I enjoyed it even more than the story campaign.

Have you tried Conquest Mode? Changes up things a bit and is definitely my highlight of the game.

I’d like them to give ‘Z’ (Bitmap Brothers) another go.

Call me naive, but I think, that’s what neighbors should do. Viva la humanity!

Thanks so much for all the tips! Sounds like I’ll have to give Stellaris a go, when the next Sale drops.

Bannerlords 2 and the others you all mentioned, sound really interesting, too! Damn, the next Sale’s gonna kill me financially and socially.

Physical media cannot be altered afterwards. That’s a thing Disney likes to do, for example.

Plus maximum video and audio quality. Some people don’t watch movies on phones or laptops, you know.
