Re: Music. (the continuation)

Rumour has it that Terre bought this record with his first wage from his shoe shine stand, So it does have sentimental memories.

Re: X-TRA POLLS Round #6 | Have you played multiple gamestarts?

Played every start possible even mod created starts, as soon as the management of fleets becomes tedious (although I have built massive empires with huge administrative centres just for the consumption of goods) I start a fresh. By far the best start and playthrough was " X4 Commonwealth no More" by...

Re: So the new dlc coming will use ai generated voice work it says on steam page

Is it genuine Artificial Intelligence or just mimicry .. a pet parrot can mimic speech is that biological AI . When AI becomes creative it will be a true landmark...but not in my lifetime.

Re: Playing other games

I may have been a little premature in my assessment and removal of Bellwright, the latest patch appears to alleviate some of my issues. Will have to re-install (idiot) to check out. A little later .... It appears I was not premature, the latest update has made the game worse, Will re-install in 6 mo...

Re: So the new dlc coming will use ai generated voice work it says on steam page

The quickest way to ruin immersion in a game is a voice that lacks inflection, tone or whatever ... computer generated. or the latest buzzword AI. Would work for the Xenon but actual biological species no way, although it would be an improvement on the Boron mincing speech patterns. AI at present is...

Re: Playing other games

Bellwright needs more time in the cooker, I found it to be very very grindy and frustrating .. There is the possibility of a good game but as with a lot of games these days the Dev's have not tested a play through so there are glaring shortfalls.,..... But of course your experience may differ, I uni...

Re: X-TRA POLLS Round #5 | What type of ship do you primarily use?

My Perigine Vanguard named KNOCK KNOCK.. best ship of all especially when crewed by Paranid (The Master Race) ... Favourite target Terran's. I cannot believe they got such a poor showing in the last Poll, tooooo many office boys playing with their tea cups sat precariously on their desks waiting to ...

Re: What are you watching now ? Movies and TV

Margin Call was an excellent film which is more than I can say for Dune II .. A Bland Trope in the same category as Blade Runner 2049. Watched 2 episodes of Fallout, have not returned, same happened with The Boys although I did watch all the first series ... I have become a cumudgeon, sadly.

Re: Playing other games

I appear to be out on a limb here as I am splitting my play time between Soulmask and Bellwright. I know Donkey Crew (Bellwright) got bad press for Last Oasis but I really enjoyed Season 5 as a solo and flourished... No not as a Zero to Hero (explitive)... Soulmask could end up as one of my top 5 ga...

Re: X-TRA POLLS Round #2 | Which phase do you enjoy the most in X4: Foundations?

Early game for me, once I start to feel the need for fleets I re-start the game. Starts to resemble a 3D board game... I enjoy the experience of outer space flying solo, protection and aggression... Looking forward to Lino's retro design ships .. :)

Re: Egosoft unveils X4: Timelines expansion and major 7.00 update to X4: Foundations

A simple plot line could be some slaves escape their masters with a construction ship and have to establish a base large enough to avoid recapture into slavery.. Or a separate timeline/alternate reality where prevention of Xenon becoming sentient is required... I think the basic plotline should be s...

Re: Playing other games

Bought both ENSHROUDED and PALWORLD ... Palworld I was surprised to find a refreshingly enjoyable adventure with adult overtones. My concern for Enshrouded during the demo period when trying to decide if it wanted to be a survival, puzzler or platform game in the end appeared graphically challenged ...

I did like Bernd's Schoffel coat,,, Cool green , although the correct terminology today is "sick" ... So Bernd's Schoffel was sick .... Nice one....To be really cool then drip is the new new terminology .... So Bernd's Scoffel was "drip" or "drippy" .
