Hello everyone. Hope everyone had a good week and weekend. I got my PC set up again after moving so I’ve been back on the Balatro grind, and also continued to dabble in Rome Total War: Barbarian invasion.

    I’m also a Total War head and have played just about all of them for at least 100 hours. I usually play on something like Hard Campaign/Very Hard battles.

    Tried playing Civilization 6 today and have only barely played some of 4 a decade ago. I feel like I’m really straining my brain with stuff like that and Paradox games. People bounce off Total War for sure, but at least stuff like “surround the enemy” and a lot of what goes on in battle is intuitive. Cities have significantly fewer resources or decisions to make.

    I got owned by a flood during the first era that took out one of my fighters and builders and that let barbarians overwhelm me. It’s so embarrassing how little game knowledge transfers with genres like this.

    Been playing a lot of Skyrim recently, modded out the ass of course. Played a good chunk of time as an Altmer light armor spellblade and now am playing as a beefy orc warrior who mostly uses two-handers and crossbows.

      Do you have Legacy of the Dragonborn? I’ve been a fan of using console commands to add to the museum what I’ve done in other playthroughs as a sort of NG+ mechanic.

      For quest mods, I’d recommend Beyond Reach if you haven’t played it. A dark fantasy questline written by Marxists that fits in beautifully into the world of TES.
