I'd also add that CK3 is a step above most Paradox games in terms of beginner-friendliness. Everything has a tooltip defining what it does, and most of the game-specific words in that tooltip have tooltips of their own. It's not like the older games and their "lol keep the wiki open and good fucking luck" approach to explaining themselves

The Glasgow ice cream wars feel like a fitting setting

Things like that can definitely be accomodated. A famous example is how the UK would keep pumped storage hydro power ready for moments like half time in major football games or breaks in popular TV shows, because the entire country would pretty much simultaneously put their kettles on

Charging a car is a much bigger draw than powering a kettle, obviously, but the point is that these things tend to be reasonably predictable and we are able to ccount for them if we know they are coming

There are a lot of paid mods for the original AC, so I expect that will be part of it. However, I do think that there are two other reasons for the devs to want to host a platform of their own:

• Being able to remove content ripped from other games, which will help keep them out of trouble
• Giving users the option to automatically download the mods necessary to join a multiplayer game

I agree, although I think that they would understand how harmful a lack of mod support would be to the game. I hope they do, anyway

They've said it will be moddable in the full release and that they intend to create their own platform to host mods

Ahh, that thing about the editions tracks with when I was playing on the tabletop. There were a couple of necron armies in the group I played with and they were always right stubborn bastards to put down. They didn't hit that hard, but you sure as hell had to hit them hard if you wanted to make any headway

This is a bizarre headline to put on an article that describes the Chinese service as being a year and a half away from being able to replace Starlink, "not likely to benefit Ukraine in the long term," and "more likely to give Russian soldiers in Ukraine internet services that Ukrainian soldiers have long enjoyed than they are to help Ukraine move beyond Starlink"

I'm not exactly up to date on my 40k lore, do the necrons have some kind of disposable chaff unit now? Back when I played they were the tankiest army in the entire game, which definitely doesn't work for a game in which you are usually carving through a massive mob

::: Space Marine 2 spoilers I was, of course, pretty gutted that they never showed up in the latter part of the campaign. I was playing through the campaign with a friend that doesn't know the setting much but who loves Terminator, and the instant I saw the signs of necron stuff going on I thought I was going to get to see him become Power Armour Kyle Reese :::

2 was announced three years before it released, so I wouldn't expect this to necessarily mean 3 is coming that soon

I wonder which faction they'll use this time? The gameplay kinda depends on there being a huge horde of grunts to mow down, and they've now used the two non-humans factions that that description applies to

I think the title means that the re-posted post is the most-opvoted post of all time on lemmy. It is the top of all time on lemm.ee, on lemmy.world it's a can of beans, and on my home instance kbin.earth it's a news article
