I say it to my wife all the time. Was watching Friends with her last night and Chandler gets mad at Joey for telling Rachel he owns lotion. I looked at her and said, “Fellas, is it gay to moisturize?” It’s just so silly how many things aren’t MANLY™
I watched shaun of the dead the other day and the few gay jokes in it were great. Totally forgot about them so they caught me by surprise. Calling stuff gay is hilarious.
For those not interested in in the age of empires and command and conquers of the world, you always have a crusader kings to just murder all those who wrong you and then seduce their widows.
extremely sus of any man in their mid 20s to mid 30s who doesn’t play a map-based strategy game. Like how the fuck do you get through life without occasionally taking the edge off by moving soldiers around a map
I think those people are the kinds of jerks who watch football. I’m not sure it helps them relax in the slightest. That would explain a few things actually…
That’s silly, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Looks at physical copies of original C&C, all three Red Alerts, Civ4, Warcraft, Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2, and a steam library with Mindustry, Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, Captain of Industry, Desynced
RA2/YR is/are my gold standard(s) for any rts games, i always find myself going back and playing them whether it be solo campaign, skirmish, or logging into CnCNet and doing some online matches.
I don’t know what it was about RA1/2/YR but the units just felt right? When you got to 3 they all just felt off, and im not sure why. It wasn’t a balancing issue, but interestingly I got the same thing moving from stronghold 1 to two - they almost lost their physical presence if it makes sense???
Everything felt too “multi-purpose” units did follow the rock-paper-scissors balance, but tanks being able to go waterborne boats being able to go airborne broke any proper counter strategy it was always a game of cat and mouse and whomever could micro unit abilities the hardest instead of balance and strategize(or zerg rush lol) but that’s just my take.
Civ 5 here. I’ll be 39 this year and play the least out of my friends group (probably 1 or 2 sessions a month where I quit 3 or 4 hours in, and once a month or less playing for 6 or more hours to almost actually finish a game). The friends I play with are all mid 40s and do a full game at least weekly. We all have wives and kids and stuff but are huge nerds i guess.
I have launched Civ 6 once, launched a quick game with bots, blinked and realized 2.5 hours have passed. I’m scared to reopen the game. Next time I might wake up with a gray head and wrinkles on my face
I’ve noticed you’ve recently settled a statement close to my psyche, I request that you refrain from settling too close in the future to avoid any ill feelings!
Only during the steam sale did I buy the new Three Kingdoms Total War. I had spent enough time in R:TW traversing Europe, so naturally it was time to take my skills to the east.
Once every few years I have the itch to play Dune 2. It’s so simple. It’s the perfect RTS. Although the Harkonen Devastator is useless and the Death Hand is overpowered simply by you being lucky.
I know I already replied once, but on a serious note: I would love a new IP that was like Tiberium Sun. That was my first love with RTS and nothing since has been quite as awesome. Not even StarCraft.
I never owned it, but I remember playing it at a friend’s house many times as a kid. I love RTS games and hope they’re not out of the mainstream for good.
Hell yeah, brother. I liked being NOD so I could make invisible bases all over the map and you could never really be sure where I was building up even if you had radar and the entire map uncovered. Then I hit ya with a swarm of mammoth tanks.
