After perpetually restarting over and over again to try and get a better start I finally won my first game on Prince difficulty going for science. It was pretty cool, I was going for a Dom win initially but switched gears after I realized that would involve me shipping my entire army over to the other continent and I didn't feel like doing all that lol.

I feel a little stagnant now that I've seen the victory screen, Rome is the only civ I know so science/domination are really the only two win cons I've gone for, what are you suggestions for what I should try next. New maps? Different Civs? Higher difficulty?

I feel like I keep getting to like turn 150 or so and restart because I don’t really know what to do and I feel like I have more of a grasp on the early game with tile yields and such.

I’m playing a lot of Rome so I should play aggressive but feel like I get penalized for starting wars and half the time the AI cities locations sucks so it doesn’t even feel worth it. I want to build up science but if my campus is less than +3 I feel like I’m doing something wrong - tbh that goes for districts in general I feel like I refuse to place them because I’m not getting maximum benefit and then screw myself in the long run.

This is my first civ game ever so any advice is welcome. Thanks!

Newer player here - barely made it out of the classical era so far. Was wondering how much I need to invest in religions if I’m not going for a faith build. I keep seeing the options to build holy sites and stuff like that but haven’t been because I’m focusing on other stuff.

I’m playing Rome so I’ve been going for more of a domination win.

To be clear - I'm not necessarily looking for a beginner friendly game, just looking for the best of the best. I got $70 and an itch to finally get into this genre. The two I'm looking at right now are Planet Zoo and Civ 6, although Planet Zoo looks way different than what I've played so far and might just be a different thing altogether. I tried Age of Empires 2 and loved it, but I'm looking for something more long-term. I want to build a kingdom from the ground up and watch it grow, rather than play through mission chapters. What I loved in AoE2 was building up defenses, growing an army, and delegating tasks to villagers - looking for a game that leans into that as an ongoing thing rather than playing missions that drop you in different scenarios. What are your top picks?

This was one of those games where it genuinely felt like there was nothing my team could do. It would be really cool if one of you guys could watch the game and just give me a general idea of what my team could have done better. Any notes or advice you guys have would be much appreciated, thanks.

I swear to god these sub-40 IQ Neanderthals' will be the first ones to tell you that you suck because your character is easy and theirs is 'hard.'

Dive isn't hard. It's genuinely as easy as heal botting - if not easier. Wait for your team to walk up, soft engage, bait cooldowns, hard engage, repeat. Dive mains will make it seem like it's the hardest thing in the world and that the characters they play should be broken because they're "harder to play." PUH-lease.

You guys sit in a corner until nobody is paying attention and get a pick off a support who wasn't looking at you. That is deadass the core gameplay loop of a dive hero, and they have the audacity to act like it takes more than 2 braincells.

What dive mains really mean when they say "dive is hard" is "playing into your counters is hard." BP mains will act like they're the most counterable hero in the game due to the fact that the Thing simply exists. They'll play into their counters and lose and talk shit on the balancing or they'll win and act like they just had to crawl the Normandy Beach on D-day to get the W, when in reality, you're just playing into your counters so you're having a hard time getting value. If I play Iron Man against a Hela/Punisher I'm going to get destroyed, the same way if you play BP into Thing/Peni you're going to get smoked.

Rant over. And before ya'll hit the comments asking for rank and how I don't play dive I'm a flex player and my peak is C2, about to hit C1 this season. Argue with a wall.

I've been playing Dredge for the first time without knowing much about the game at all, I clicked on the DLC tab and saw there was a complete edition in the Microsoft store.

I bought it and when I try to download it, it keeps giving me an error and tells me to retry. Anybody else run into this issue or know how to fix it?

To the players who made it out of the absolute fucking trenches that is GM elo, what finally clicked for you? What are some of the biggest differences you see in Celestial?

"Wahh my character was reworked wahhh. She sucks now she's f tier wahhh."

*A week later*

"Uh guys she's actually pretty good"

"Uh guys they're playing her in pro play"

"Wait guys maybe the rework was actually good"

Yeah? Do you think maybe shutting the fuck up until the rework is released might be a good idea? Like I get speculating off of trailers or live events based on what we're shown, we're all excited for the new updates, but it's been 9 seasons and the majority of the community still doesn't understand that we won't know what works/what doesn't until people can PLAY IT.

I think it especially irked me with Widow mains because if you've scrolled their sub in the past week or so it's just complaining and shitting on anyone enjoying the character. And they keep moving the goal post it's infuriating. Like now that it's out that Widow is actually viable in the video game, it was 'never about her being bad, her gameplay is just boring.' Yea okay, buddy. Tell that to the 80 million "SHE'S F TIER NOW" doom-posts flooding the sub since the announcement.

All 4 of them need to collectively just stfu, especially when it comes to balancing. If ya'll had it your way there'd be a one-tap headshot sniper in the game and it would genuinely be the most cancerous season of all time.

In Pt. 2 it's revealed that >!she counseled the Emperor to wipe out House Atreides because Paul is essentially too dangerous,!< so why would she ask the Baron to spare Paul and Jessica because they are 'under the BG's protection?' Am I missing something or was this just an oversight?

DD or Rocket?

My (23M) girlfriend's (23F) friends are having their wedding at the end of April next year in Treviso, we've never been to Italy and wanted to make the most of it so we were wanting to stay for an extra week (May 1st - 7th) but are trying to decide what to do/where to stay.

At first we wanted to make the most out of being so close to Venice, but then thought we might want to stay in Rome and spend some time down there and in Naples since they don't look very far apart.

Again, I know next to nothing about traveling in general, it is not very often I leave my hometown - let alone the country - so I'm sorry if I'm coming off as extremely naive here. Any advice would be very much appreciated, thank you!

Hello fellow Porters! I'm late to the game but I'm currently on my first playthrough of DS1 and absolutely loving it, I wanted to know what are your guys' favorite YouTube content for this game? I'm looking for the DS equivalent to the Senile Squibbles collection for Skyrim. It doesn't have to be in any way similar to that sort of content I just mean I always watch those when replaying Skyrim cause they're fun and it's just kinda what you do lol. It can be playthroughs, skits, theories, reviews, whatever. What do you guys suggest?

This might be sort of a dumb question but how would you recommend playing the games for somebody who has never played Resident Evil, I'm currently playing on GeForceNow so my options are limited, the games available are:

RE2 (Remake)

RE3 (Remake)

RE4 (Remake)

RE7

RE Village

RE Requiem

So right off the bat playing from start to finish isn't really an option considering there are some missed titles, so with my options here how would you go about it? Start at 2 and on? Start with the first person games? They're on sale now so I figured now was a good time to jump in.
