I wish he had a proper lawyer.

Yeah seriously. FFS.

Oh, I misread. The headline I read (not this one) said that he was pleading insanity.

Honestly disappointed. I’d have liked to see a straight up “not guilty” plea, and go hard and direct on the constitutional angle. It’s pretty obvious that the laws violate the implied right to freedom of political communication. They serve no function but that.

and dint like it because u didnt read the culture tree

That is…more than a little bit reductive.

The game is also downloadable the normal way not just as torrent

Oh cool! Glad to see! 8 months ago either it wasn’t an option, or it wasn’t presented very prominently.

The “sexism” thing has been fixed, pesants now have random gender

That’s ok, but like I said in that thread, the problem isn’t really the sexism (that was just an added factor), it was the game design that came with that. The unintuitive way some military units can also do eco work, but some can’t, and there’s no simple or intuitive way to know which is which.

And as much as I liked the idea of having a trade-off that you have to decide how many and when to send citizen-soldiers to battle vs when to hang back on eco didn’t feel good. Maybe with more experience that gets better? But first impressions matter, and it definitely doesn’t feel as good as Age.

I think that’s my slowest perfect game.

The threat of being sued or charged with criminal fraud.

Particularly dangerous in an environment where the courts are in the pocket of fascists.

It’s less that there’s anything inherent to 0AD I don’t like, and more just that it doesn’t really do anything well. It’s poor enough in terms of UX that it’s impossible for me to even evaluate its fundamental game design.

Here’s the comment I wrote up after my latest experience.

Is the title’s curious parallel to a certain illegal phrase intentional? I can’t see what reason it would have for being so, but I equally can’t see how such a specific phrasing could have arisen accidentally.

0AD is so much better than AoE

It really, really isn’t. It’s really quite terrible in comparison. I was actually quite saddened, because I first played it like 15 years ago, but then replayed it late last year and was excited to see how much it had progressed, but it still really felt like the early alpha game of my memory.

i’d say descended from fish doesn’t count as fish

You can’t evolve out of a clade.
