Are there TD games with a modern military setting?

I recently discovered XMORPH Desfense and had a blast playing it and now I'm kinda looking for more TD games. Problem is, I'm not much of a fan of scifi and even less of fantasy, so the choice of games seems quite limited. The only ones I could find are Rage of Towers and Out of Ammo VR.

How do you effectively use melee units against the AI?

All my combat devolves down to ranged fighting , because whenever I use regular melee units, like Assault Marines or Banshees, the AI turns around and guns them down before they can do anything.

Do military aircraft really have HUDs as shown in video games or movies?

If yes, it feels kind of surreal, because it looks so futursistic and aircraft seem to be the only ones with this tech. At least I have yet to see it being used in tanks or our average joe civilian cars.

How do you buy electronics from the EU?

I'm currently looking for a small, solar powered fountain for my balcony that's supposed to be a bath and drinking place for birds and insects. But all I can find is stuff from China.

Might be a stupid question, but are you actually evil in DC Super Villains?

One aspect I liked about how the first Lego Batman game was how you actually were evil when playing the villain side of the story and left a wake of death and destruction in your way.

And I wanted to know if its the same with DC Super Villains. Because I find it lame if games do the "You are the evil guy, but actually not" rugpull.

Welche Kühlweste könnt ihr für Leonberger empfehlen?

Hallo zusammen. Wegen der aktuellen Temperaturen habe ich drüber nachgedacht, ob ich vlt für den Hund meiner Eltern eine Kühlweste kaufen soll. Ich habe auch schon etwas gegoogelt, aber ich habe meine Zweifel ob die größten Größen, meistens XL, auch wirklich passen.

Is there a program that lets you learn how to draw?

I know it's technically not about a game, but maybe it's still ok.

But yeah, as the title says I'm basically looking for a program like Pencil, but purely digital so that you can erase your picture when you made an error or aren't happy with it. I had this weird idea in my head that I could skip buying an actual drawing tablet by using the Quest.

I know that there has been a Stylus for the Quest once, but it seems to have been discontinued.

Is there a program and accessory that lets you learn digital drawing?

Basically what I'm looking for is a program like Pencil, but purely digital so that you don't have to constantly buy new paper. I know that there has been a Stykus for the Quest once, but it seems to have been discontinued.

Is Warplanes Air Corp worth it?

I've played the demo, but the training missions didn't really convince me. Maybe I'm too used to VTOL VR, but the flying physics felt weird and especially the helicopter felt terrible to handle. And given that the demo only lets you play the tutorial level, I wasn't able to check how proper missions feel like.

What would interest me about Air Corp is that it seems a lot less punishing than VTOL VR and that you have a much larger variety of aircraft you can fly. Especially the Osprey has peaqued my interest. I'm also only interested in modern military, so the other two Warplanes games aren't for me.

And please tell me that you can turn off that I assistent in the game.

After playing the demo for the first time, please don't humanize the Grell

I just played Skirmish to prevent spoilers and don't know what you have planned in general, but I hope you keep the Grell alien and don't Kerriganify them like it happened with the Zerg or the Goo from Grey Goo.

Cause I really like their design, especially the Mandragora looks great. And it would be a shame to get them wasted on a for me bad characterization. To say it simple, please keep them more in line with the Overmind Zerg or the Tyranids.

As for the rest of the game, I'm still not sold on the gameplay, even though I couldn't say why. It's not even the lethality that I have problem with in other games. Maybe it's the still missing eye candy that comes in later.

But all the rest is good so far. I like the faction designs, I like that you have persistent blood, corpses and vehicles wreckages, I'm happy to see that there will be a fourth faction and it's nice that you can enable mutators in skirmish matches.

What I would like to see in the future are maps with higher player counts, like in Dawn of War, so that you can have 5,6,7 or 8 armies fighting it out with each other.

I found the game Space Reign, which has a direct control mode

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1762570/Space_Reign/

I'm not the dev and I haven't played it myself, but since that one thread has been open, I thought the game might interest the one or other person. And at first I was like:" Urgh, another space RTS.". And although it seems like you only have limited ships per battle, which I am not a fan of, being able to control capital ships does tickle my fancy.

Was it ever confirmed in the games that Raccoon City's water supply got contaminated?

From all I know, the games always point to rats being the source of the virus spreading through the city. I don't know a single document or line of dialogue saying that it spread through the water, be it in the OG games, the remakes or spin-offs like Outbreak or ORC.

With current SSD prices, are external SSDs a viable alternative for gaming?

I know they have their drawbacks, but currently they sell for a more reasonable price than internal SSDs. I ask, because my current one is getting low on space and the second one is dedicated to Windows it seems (Yes, I know. I got the PC like this.)

How come Indie devs can have real weapon names, but AAA devs don't?

If you play any high budget shooter nowadays, you know that they will have fake weapon names. But try an indie game and there is a good chance that the devs actually use the real names of the guns. Tails of Glory 2 is such a game or Combat Master.

Ist es normal, dass die Wände in Rheinhausen nichts aushalten?

Ich bin vor knapp einem Jahr nach Duisburg gezogen und wollte jetzt mal anfangen meine Wohnung zu dekorieren, aber das stellt sich als schwieriger heraus, als gedacht.

Bspw habe ich mir eine Garderobe zum Anbohren geholt. Nichts Großes, so ein Ding aus Holz mit 5 Haken. Erst wollte ich die an die Tür kleben, aber hat nicht gehalten. Dann habe ich die angebohrt und dabei so einen Hohlraum erwischt. War zwar nicht feste, aber hielt. Jedoch wurde die mit der Zeit immer loser.

Dann kam mein Vater vorbei und hat die mit Dübeln befestigt, was auch schon ein Akt war, da die Dübel nicht richtig halten wollten. Aber es hielt feste und hat auch die Jacken gehalten. Und dann, ein paar Tage später, komme ich nur gefühlt leicht gegen die Garderobe und rumms fliegt das Teil runter und hinterlässt zwei Löcher in der Wand.

Ein anderes Beispiel ist die Decke. Da hinter der normalen Decke scheinbar noch so eine Art Zwischendecke aus Holz ist und ich deshalb (trotz Detektor) keine Ahnung habe wo die Stromleitungen herlaufen, wollte ich die Lampe mit diesem Bohren Statt Kleben Klebeband von Uhu anbringen. Hat auch zwei Wochen gehalten. Dann hat sich der Kleber von der Decke gelöst und Teile der Decke mit sich gerissen.

Und jetzt wollte ich doch wissen, ob das hier normal ist. Als ich das einem Kumpel gesagt und gezeigt hatte, meinte er nur ich hätte Pappwände, dass er auch mal so eine Wohnung hatte und dass da nichts hielt. Und das er im Ruhrgebiet bei der Wohnungssuche wohl oft sowas gesehen hat,

I have better performance on Quest 3S with Meta Horizon Link than Steam Link

I know this goes a bit against the grain, but for me Meta Link works a lot better than Steam Link. With Steam, I constantly have hicups where the screen goes black for a few seconds and then the Steam logo flickers in and out. Or it pauses the game on its own for no reason or outrights boots me back to the dashboard without any warning at all.

And while Metal Link has some hiccups as well every once in a while, it's nearly not as often as with Steam VR. This goes for both wired and unwired.

Is it normal for games in VR to have this styrofoam look?

I have my Quest 3S for 6 months now and what I noticed is that close to every game has the same aesthetic in that it feels somewhat fake. I can't really describe it, but as the title says, everything looks and feels like if I interact with hollow objects made of styrofoam that pretend to be cars, crates, guns or people, but actually feels more like an interactive movie prop.

What threw me off though is that even Flatscreen games when played through VR suddenly have this look as well, even though they look fine on a monitor. The only game where I didn't see or notice this is Beat Saber.

So, is this just what games in VR look like or is this the quality level of the Quest?

In PDTH's Heat Street, is it intended for Assault waves to stack sometimes?

Maybe, it's just a bug, but sometimes, especially in the area between the construction site and the crash site where Matt's van is, Bain tells me that another Assault wave is coming, while the current Assault is still going.

Is that an intended feature? Because it's the only heist where this ever happens.
