Playing Civ VI with Crystal last night. We did a game on marathon speed. I was playing as Arabia with a build focused on a combination of science & religion, with a little more emphasis on science for that research.

We also dealt with a lot of barbarians. There was a spot in the game where like 3 barbarian camps spawned in 3 consecutive turns. Also, the barbarians somehow managed to get horse archers very early in the game. It was ridiculous. -__-

I never really got into CIV, but I did used to love playing RTS games with other people.

I can't really remember who it was I'd play Star Wars Galactic Battleground with... Probably Maj.

Warhammer 40K; Dawn of War II, too. I think that was Maj and not-Mark-Mark.

I guess I always cared more about the troops and battles, over the research/diplomacy stuff.

The newer version of Star Wars (Empire at War) came out nearly 19 years ago and is still updated. It hovers around the top 300-350 on Steam charts which is pretty impressive.

I think I played Dawn of War with Jamie once? I definitely played Supreme Commander 2 with him. My strategy was to use him as a human shield whilst I built up an immense economy in peace.

For some reason I want to say I played Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds with @Nae'blis... But I'm not sure that's right. Swedish people don't play games.

Doesn't ring a bell.. oh sure we do! Like speed-building Ikea furniture, and polar bear wrestling.
Yeah, I don't know why I thought that, I was pretty sure it wasn't true. I believe you and I only sat around on MSN talking about Blind Guardian.

I have a solid screenshot of my character in Fallout 4 sitting on a bench on the top of a building overlooking the area and a screenshot from FO3 with Tenpenny's head perfectly sitting on his lap. If I can find them, I'll post them. There's not on phone or on my imgur pictures, so I assume I haven't uploaded them.

Damn... Not only did I not expect to pull 2 wins out so close together, this one I ended up taking out 20% of the other players. And finishing with a crown.

I attribute it entirely to the other players sucking just a little more than I did.

Got my skull smashed and only finished #36, but I was racking up kills there for a while.
 
I'm just gonna go buy it tomorrow night. I do not have high hopes beyond, "meh, that was somewhat enjoyable."
Pretty close to my expectations, but I do like the series and I haven't played one for four years which makes it more acceptable.

I decided to upload the JXR file if anyone is interested in how different it is. HDR imagery is in a bit of a mess format wise. I'm not sure exactly what supports it, but I know the Photos app on Windows 11 does and I believe iOS does too.

From what I've heard so far, that's what this game is. Good not great. Repetitive and same old formula for AC. I love the franchise too, and will play the games. I will likely not play Yasuke at all unless he's forced on me from what I've heard. Naoe is more what I want from my AC game play than a brute force slow moving mountain.

No wins, but some kills and me getting capped around #10 a few times. Mainly bothered putting clips together because I bought a dinosaur skin.

GIMP doesn't know what to do with this filetype (even being recently updated), but Windows 10 Pro photos does. :shrug

there's probably a codex pack you can get for gimp that adds that file type
Probably, but I don't care to.

I'd still have suspected an actual image manipulator to have more codecs than Windows though.

I bet VLC would have opened it.

Soooooo, how similar would Assassin's Creed Shadows be to like... Tenchu: Stealth Assassins?

Because the little I've seen about AC: Shadows made me remember how much I loved Tenchu, but don't wanna disappoint myself.

I could of course do my own research on reviews and stuff, but that's not as fun as just asking y'all.

Edit: Bushido Blade was also tight AF. I miss that title as well.
