Because after a few years they complain again when more changes are made because the current game is so good…

It’s the only time that tabs Vs spaces really riles me up. So annoying when everyone has different tab lengths

If I don’t give it any permissions, does it actually do anything though? They only run when the app is open I assume?

Ah! Your using Kanban then!

Someone has a compiler if statement left somewhere in their code (… probably)

I didn’t hear about that, what happened?

I think he has a budget problem mostly. He has executed some games acceptably, but mostly when the teams were smaller and cheaper. He is an ideas guy you want to pair with an experienced implementer and a pile of money… And maybe a PR team 😆

There are add-ons that let you play as a decent DPS with an Xbox controller on PC. It’s not beyond possibility.

On the one more lane thing, going from 1 lane each way to two is a massive improvement as it allows overtaking.

Agree otherwise.

If they took it right through the hills and brought out out by Winterbourne Stoke then it would be much better I think?

Most of the traffic is through traffic anyway. Bringing it up by Long Barrow Roundabout (it’s in the name!) was crazy.

I mean, it’s a bottleneck heading back towards London too, between the barrow roundabout and Stonehenge is often a mess in both directions. Mostly due to people looking at Stonehenge instead of the road.

It’s less about improving the trains and more about making them cheaper! (Not that I would complain about some new lines either!)

I mean it would speed things up, I think the plan involved a bypass for the village next to it too?

I didn’t agree with the location of the tunnel though, so kinda happy it got canned.

I sometimes wish that studios would sell their cancelled games to smaller studios that could, if they got it cheap touch it up and release them in some form.

Loads of effort is being wasted for no gain

2 things to note:

When offline, switch into steam offline mode to launch games, gets round some of the hanging on launch issues

Try connecting to WiFi from the steam decks desktop mode? Probably a router issue though.

I think you can already with web assembly?

I bought Reus 2 (A puzzle god game) at launch last month - game changer!

Finally a game that I enjoy playing on the deck and actually want to play after work on my commute etc. highly recommend it.

There should be options for hard difficulty that are due to the AI being better, not just getting massive buffs.

Some of the examples given were about the AI not even knowing about certain game mechanics!

Wow, this is a long read. Well worth it for anyone who got caught in Rome TW2’s hype and subsequent disappointment.

Would be good to see what other games he later worked on. Will try to remember to look him up on linkedin when I have time

A) discord

B) make friends with one person that does this or plays with other groups, then join them when they are playing with others
