I have been playing more Stellaris now that there is a new story expansion/DLC for it, fun so far!
I found a dense cluster of 'tomb worlds' where a long dead race had been wiped out in some kind of apocalyptic war millions of years ago, then some years later?
Found that these planets were inhabited by adorable snoofily (this is a new word) creatures with adorable anteater snouts, descended from the alien's pets. They were also very numerous, psychic and suchlike.
Cue my sending robots to colonise these planets and welcoming the little guys into the galactic community! As cossetted and favoured researchers. There were tons of them already on each planet as well so it hugely boosted the size of my empire even if they are slow breeding, repugnant, fleeting deviants.

Detroit Become Human is gorgeous all around; the look, the story, the sound design... it's a David Cage game though, so I'm waiting for some Mayan Internet prophecy so show up and get weird. Holding out for an android T-Rex, or maybe drowning in peanuts...
-
Not a video game, but a board version of one of my favorites: Crusader Kings The Board Game
Got to have it.

I am streaming Detroit Become Human, and it's becoming a problem; I don't want to stop. I want to selfishly go on without my stream. I also want to go back right now and explore other options. I've done things and I feel bad. But they're androids, not people! I shouldn't feel bad!
GAH!

(For those who don't know, 76 was mentioned in Fallout 3 and 4, and was meant to open only 20 years after it closed.)

@insomnia
I will want to see more information on if this is an in-house development for Bethesda or if they are letting another studio develop and they publish it. Kind of tired of buying unfinished games from Bethesda's in-house studio. -
I will buy anything Bethesda. Forever. All the time.
Gimme.
(It's all about the story for me; I can survive the bugs.)
-
@jaded From what I've been able to find, it is in house - Maryland and Austin.
And it looks like an online survival game, like Rust.
-
I am looking forwards to Fallout 76, even though I hate Bethesda faces and hair, there are good modders out there that make the game so much nicer.
Hello! Long time listener, first time caller...

I've been playing Far Cry 5 off and on, so I'm going to embrace Fallout 76 when it comes out.
Hopefully, before I get The Last of Us 2, because I'll be gone after that.

Even though nobody knows what it is, you can already pre-order it.
Move over, Apple, we have a higher bar to "shut up and take my money".

Release date says Dec 31st, 2019 on the purchase thingy. That's just a placeholder, right? RIGHT?
-
@sunny Yes. Dates like that are always placeholders.
@Thenomain And we do kinda know what it is -- https://kotaku.com/sources-fallout-76-is-an-online-survival-rpg-1826425333 -
Yay!
-
Yeah Amazon will set up a pre-order as soon as a game is announced, especially when E3 comes around, usually within a couple of hours. I have stuff on my wish list that never came out, but since they haven't been announced as canceled, they just keep pushing the date to Dec 31st of the next year.
-
@insomnia
Yeah I asked my Bethesda guy and that's what he told me. They are making a Fallout Rust game pretty much. -
@jaded I look forward to naked, screeching children destroying my ear drums.
-
Who else is playing Cultist Simulator?
I'm one game in. I died. But I'm already reading up on stuff before I start the next. I know @Insomnia has played it.
-
@auspice I actually was lucky and got it a month early to stream and show off. You wouldn't think it would be the sort of thing people would be interested in watching, but people really like it.
Finally got my cult to 3 people (including me), but that's a step up from forming a cult and loosing the second person through death or misadventure, and then being a cult of one. >.>

I picked up Battlestar Galactica Deadlock last night. It's a lot like the table top Attack Wing or X-Wing but without character cards, I'm liking it!
