It's so easy to armchair quarterback other peoples' lives, especially when they grew up in a different culture from your own.

Perfect timing. I'm jealous.

I remember getting Medieval 1 as a Christmas present and playing all day! I didn't actually get Medieval 2 until many years later -- I was playing Rome for a long time.

I have to confess, I'm not a fan of the "Game: Remastered" trend. I love games this old partly because of the nostalgia. Re-releasing them this way erases that part of it for me -- plus, I just can't shake the "WTF, I need to re-buy a game this old?! Forget it!" feeling.

Duke of Death is iconic. I'm kind of surprised they didn't keep it in the track list for later games.

I've been there! A friend of mine told me about it.

I hadn't ever had pho before that. I thought it was good, but I'm not exactly a pho guru.

A classic :D

I haven't played M2TW in a while. Maybe I should pick it up again for another campaign. Hmm...

Why not? If they enjoy it, more power to them.

There's no law that says you can't replay games you've enjoyed.

Good choice. I've been going back and forth between Timberborn and Satisfactory for about the past month.

Ha, I was going to comment on this.

Boats are also supposed to have white lights at the stern and (if they have one) at the top of the mast.

If you liked the Three Body Problem, might I recommend The Killing Star by Pellegrino, Charles R? It's another slant on some similar themes.

Same for me re: "The Power". I read it last year (mid-2023, that is). I finished it, but it was a bit of a struggle.
