Do you usually wait for the DRM-free release for games?

Yes. I am old and patient, and have a lot of games to play. I also really dislike DRM.

I quit my xcom2-lwotc run. I guess I didn’t play optimized enough. Enemies keep getting stronger and stronger and my science is too slow to keep up. It got to the point where I could only finish missions with massive save-scumming and now I benched it. In my next attempt I’m gonna be quicker about everything and build up multiple teams right from the start but for now …

I am playing BG3 :D

For xcom2 you need to immediately research the upgraded weapons as soon as you begin your campaign. It feels counter intuitive because it takes so long but it really puts you into the correct pace. I don’t remember when it best to upgrade them again or armor but that’s the best start. Also aggressively use grenades because they’re guaranteed hits.

For BG3, be sad there is no overwatch, sorry, I mean readied action like in D&D.

Thanks will try that when I come back to it. BG3 should take a while though I’m afraid :)

Factorio. I’m playing a space ex and Krastorio modded run with the science costs increased by 10x. It’s slowing down the progression a lot which is forcing me to design things smartly instead of getting by with jank. I’m about 71 hours in and I’m getting crashes which is devastating because I really don’t want to restart.

Far Cry 6. These games are so much fun for me but this one seemed to get a lot of bad reviews that I put off playing it. it’s repetitive but I’m still enjoying it. The weak sniper rifle are bothersome so I need to figure out what I’m doing wrong there.
