  • my company was paying a license for a tool to let them snag areas of the screen for screenshots, with quick tools to hilight or circle or add arrows to certain areas. an expensive license. more people than I care to admit we’re shocked when I showed them the windows snipping tool with win + shift + x

    if I remember rightly, they had an entire props department doing the creature in the old-school way, with property and special effects, and decided in editing to replace it with CGI. Really sad. Think of how great modern physical effects could be with the advanced we made since the 80s


  • This looks awesome. I’m also a big fan of J McColloughs stuff. I bought stargrave first but sadly, couldn’t convince anyone to play it St the time. Picked up frostfrave later and have managed to get four games of it, my group are all old school warhammer nerds, and while they don’t like GW so much, they’d eperfectly happy to keep playing 3rd edition 40k and some 5th end fantasy and stick with that.




  • Been playing this since day 1 of early access, its a fantastic game. If you enjoy something like transport tycoon, railroad tycoon, or any of highly detailed logistics sim, I think you would enjoy this. Devs are really attuned to the needs and wants of the players.

    The sim is really detailed too, and you can turn on or off any aspects you find too challenging. You have to supply citizens with education, food, luxury goods, jobs, cultural attractions, medical care, water and waste management. Everything that’s consumed in your republic can be produced locally in the republic. You can pay in cash to autobuild that new Chemical factory, or you can produce the bricks, concrete, electrical components, wood, concrete panels locally and have it built by the hands of your own citizens. Even the vehicles to import and export goods for the production of chemicals can be built in factories within the republic!

    my greatest achievement in this game was building a town of 10k people and a nuclear power industry entirely from scratch with no autobuying. That includes the entire nuclear fuel production chain and waste disposal, the RBMK reactor and dozens of kilometres of rail networks and power lines to move uranium to the plant and export power at the border.
