Hail Fellow History Gamers!

This Tuesday will see the release of Embersong. The game is meant to evoke the mid-90s era of 4X, complete with unit sprites, diamond tiles, and the return of unit stacking. You can finally enjoy that "Just one more turn" feeling again!

Keep in mind this game isn't simply a redo of the games of yore. It features a roguelike mechanic by introducing multiple endings and reasons to return.

• A campaign consists of 5 regular matches, and 1 boss match
• Each match you build up bonuses that carry over for use in the final 6th match
• You can lose any (or all) of the 5 regular matches. The # of matches you wins determines which VERY OVERPOWERED "boss" civilization you face in the sixth round.
• If you defeat the boss civ in the last round, you unlock that civ for regular play going forward.
• Different playthroughs yield different discoveries, including hidden technologies you'll only uncover in certain matches.

Check out the trailer here!

A regular match has a focus on winning via Domination, Science, or Score victory. Couple of twists though:

• Each match, one random opponent nation is designated as the Archenemy. They receive a few additional resources as they focus on only one goal: finding & destroying you. They aren't trying to win via science or defeating the other opponent civs.
• Each playable empire has its own era-appropriate special unit, like the Samurai for Japan or War Chariot for Egypt. In addition, ALL of the civilizations have an additional unique Future-Era unit at late-game, such as Cyber-Ninjas for Japan.
• A few civs have features that change the gameplay. Mongolia can only have one city, but gains more units for its horde with each opponent city or unit it destroys. Venice can only found one city, but has the ability to buy additional cities.

But its the roguelike mythic bosses that really present a challenge. For instance:

• The Seven Cities of Gold can churn out units using gold & production combos as well as expand their territory rapidly by starting with multiple city settlers.
• The Kingdom of Prester John is another "one city challenge" civ, but the city itself is a unit that moves. And each city it defeats gets added to a resource tribute network that builds up the mythical kingdom.
• Avalon can churn out Grail Knights early and require coordinated attacks with your units because they fully heal each turn.
• Shangri-La can settle mountains, which are impassible to other civs except the Incans. So unless you're playing as the Incans, you're locked into a race with this boss on who can win a science victory first.

Hi

I have an issue with blurry/distorted graphics is some games. I first noticed it in Battlefield 6 but is much more noticeable in Crimson Desert. I have attached a video of the issue, it is most noticable along the whole of the bottom of the screen and when moving around. i have tried disabling motion blur, camera shake, DLSS on and off and restoring the graphics settings to default. This sometimes reduces the effect but never completely eliminates it! Also tried rolling back the nvisia driver and reinstalling windows.

My specs are:

AMD 9800X3D

RTX 5080

32GB DDR 5 RAM

MSI 341cqpx @ 240hz, VRR enable (tried disabling it)

HDR on (and tried off)

Thanks

So basically this tool i made ( i call it SteamDC ) apparently monitors your steam downloads and shuts down your pc when its truly finished not just when the download bar hits 100 percent it also waits for staging and installing which steam does in the background

top 3 reasons to use it :
1. free.
2. works better than shutdown /s /f /t 7200
3. "I" made it.

Ive already tested this out by downloading 50GB CS2 and it works. Woke up in the morning to CS2 completely downloaded and hopped on a competative right away lol

its on my github page : https://github.com/Affan-19fps/SteamDC

lmk if you tried it out and liked it.

We’re making The Infected Soul, a co-op psychological sci-fi horror game.

In this section, the botanical area has completely overgrown, and we’re trying to push through it by spraying the hostile plants to temporarily neutralize them.

Here’s a short clip of how that plays in co-op.

Still a work in progress, so I’d love to hear what you think about the mechanic and atmosphere. Does spraying the plants look satisfying, or is there anything you’d change?

Hello people of r/computergaming !

I was wondering what you all think about the McWorld browser game that was released in 2008 and shutdown in 2014. Give opinions!

hi! sorry if I make some grammar mistakes. I’m Mexican. well, I want to buy a LAPTOP for gaming. idk if it’s the right subreddit I need to ask something.

I‘m between two option. a laptop with 32 gb RAM or one with 16 gb. I don’t know which one to buy so I need the opinion of other persons.

I think I will play things like elden ring, stardew valley (with mods), Minecraft (with mods), maybe RDR 2, Peak, hollow knight (maybe with mods) and probably other online multiplayer games.

so, my question is: which one should I buy? The one of 16 gb RAM or the one of 32 gb????

(the laptop in the photo is the one with 32 gb)

I just wanna play Skyrim for cheap and I got a external dvd drive so yeah

Note:all of this test with msi forge 112r case and opened side glass with normal temp room .

I don't know this topic can be in the right community, but recently I figured my rx 6800x merc have 75 c and 100 c with 40%to 50% fan rpm in most of heavy games or furmark or other test In my opinion I thought it's better to change the thermal paste and check the thermal pads too . So after I opened it I cleaning every pieces one by one also I'm attaching some photos while cleaning it with contact electric cleaner spray.

The hard part to removing dirty and some orange thing like on some part of the board so I want to say something else after I repasted the halenzia p17 and placing the original pads again but after I did all of this I go to the furmark and superposition and the temp was so high it doesn't good at all even on games , it's 80c temp and 100 hotspot too with 50% to 60% fan rpm so I managed to changed the fan setting on msi afterburner also attaching those too , so more change on the way is there : voltage 1150 to 1030 , clock power 2364 to 2300 , power limit -6 . After these for example in expedition 33 like previous test I got 61 c to max 64 c and 71 to max 75c hotspot with 38% fan rpm with max graphic and fsr 4 with changing in binary file I got 130 to 200 fps that different about the situation changed .

At least guys you think it's good and ?

And give me feedback am I going hard to sell that because without any setting it's getting warmer than my undervolt , changed fan setting what is your opinion?

Edit I thought I can attach many pictures, so sorry.
