i kind of knew this to be true but I was shocked this weekend to learn just to what extent Kerbal Space Programs physics engine is tied to dropped frames
I can make rockets on my desktop that would have crumbled on my laptop due to instability
I'm sure it's a Unity bugaboo.
But at least now I don't feel like an idiot for not being able to get to Duna on my laptop

Whaaa?
when KSP gets laggy, the physics go apeshit. if you drop frames your ship will try to rip itself a apart. if you have a routinely slow computer like a laptop, your ship will just be generally unstable. particularly notable on stage 1 ascents where drag plays hell on your structures
i got used to getting really conservative on my stage 1's because anything over 350m/s my stuff would just explode. on my desktop though I can double that and it won't even squirm
if you amp up your time warp setting, there is a popup that tells you something to that effect.. "warning this will break your ships because the computer can't keep up". but playing KSP on a Macbook Air is basically like playing in time warp all the time
I played some of Shogun 2 with a friend and found I'm really good at the battles but shitty at everything else.
So bad at empire management.
Taxes? Public Order?
What?
Taxes bad.
Public Order good.
Food good.
I just re-installed Shogun 2 yesterday and I think the issue is that the tutorials don't really do a good job breaking things down to the nuts and bolts. Once you figure out what how to understand the city management menus knowing what to do becomes a lot easier.
I think that I also had a hard time realizing just how important agents were the first time I played the game, particularly Monks (that damn trading port that starts converting the populace to Christianity can be real harsh if you don't know what you are doing).
Figuring out battles is much more straight-forward; especially once you realize that you aren't trying to kill the enemy, you are trying to make him break.

Well that is interesting and kind of annoying as I specifically bought a low-end game laptop with the idea of playing KSP next year. Haven't tried it much yet, just enough to know it runs okay, so no idea how much it will cripple my space adventures.

I'm going to start playing V:tM Bloodlines in the next couple of days, as part of October's all horror media all the time policy
I've never played before, much to my discredit, and while I've played V:tM before, it's been like seven years, so it's not exactly a clear memory
You'll need to pick up some combat skills at some point. That's about it though really, it's a fairly forgiving game.

Tremere is a good race, they're pretty powerful because they have a stun power. Malkavian are a lot of fun but maybe not best for a first play through. Same for Nosferatu because you'll be stuck in sewers for a lot of it.
I am jealous. I wish I could experience that game for the first time again.

Speak for yourself, I always tried to slaughter every last badguy and I would go to great lengths to cut them off from retreat so I could kill more of them.
Also, I think I wasn't quite as good at combat as I remembered being. Since we were playing co-op, in every battle we would each command about half of the forces which helps out a lot. I'd go one way and he'd go another and we'd attack at the same time, or one of us would try and feint and draw the enemy out while the other waited to attack.

I am really bad at total war games still.

Be Roman.
Heavy Infantry everywhere.
"LEGIONS WALK OVER THERE!"
"Sir, there's barbarians in the way..."
"...WALK. OVER. THERE."
STOMP STOMP STOMP SMASH SMASH SMASH
No more barbarians.
I beat games of 5 all the time! Gotta round out those cheevos!
I'm broken tho, I regularly finish games of Caveman 2 Cosmos , on it's slowest time setting, because I am probably insane.
edit: damn how old was that draft

I mostly got the shit kicked out of me then
Toreador is the only choice.
And Toreador seems incredibly likely if I do that
Which clothing mod is that?
I'm not super excited for it, but I'm sure I'll get it eventually
It's the default toreador woman's heavy outfit

There were a lot of previews out last week, and I feel like the gist of of all them were "This looks a lot like Civ 5, but it's really not"
Steam
I did the questionnaire thing and it wanted to put me into clan Toreador but I liked neither the default male nor the female model

Making people puke blood is pretty gnarly but never not fun!
WAIT SHIT THAT IS A HUGE ARMY. I'm boned.
Seriously It is turn 8 and I don't even have all of Italy under my control yet.
Tremere has the best ending also
