Looking for a ROM of FRLG that isn’t a major overhaul or difficulty hack that sticks to the original design as much as possible with some QoL/modernization improvement along the lines of the Legacy series. Doesn’t have to be totally faithful (like I’d be good with a physical/special split, updated enemy teams, improved wild availability), but want to avoid ROMs that move too far away from the OG games (no later gen mons)

I understand this may not exist, so another Legacy Yellow run may be my best bet 😅

Looking for some advice on potential destinations for a honeymoon in Europe next April/May.

Some background/TLDR to help with recs:
- we are travelling from Canada (preferably flying from Ottawa, but Montreal and Toronto are also options) and looking at 7-10 days, including travel days
- our budget is about $9000 (USD $6400/€5600), but there’s some flexibility if justified
- we are relatively experienced travellers, so additional travel after landing isn’t an issue
- we’d like to spend most of our time in one or two places, ideally spending our time walking, drinking good coffee, and eating good food
- while not the main goal, we are both very interested in history so old city centres/districts and museums are a plus

In the past, we’ve mostly travelled with the goal of experiencing as much of a destination as possible, but for this trip, we’d like to take things a bit slower. This is a honeymoon, not a whirlwind tour, ya know? We’ve pictured spending our days drinking coffee, wandering older parts of town, admiring the architecture and maybe checking out a cultural experience, before settling in for a romantic dinner. We are also both avid walkers and would happily spend all day on our feet.

A few ideas we’ve had include Vienna (with a trip to Graz/Salzburg), Lisbon, and Rome (with a trip to Naples), so we aren’t opposed to more touristy destinations, but we are MORE than open to lesser known places, even if it involves a bit more travel at the beginning. What we want to avoid is jet setting between locations, sleeping at different hotels every night, and never really settling in anywhere. Really open to any and all suggestions! Thanks so much in advance!

Earlier this year, I played through Jedi: Fallen Order and started to play through Survivor on GamePass, but never finished the game. I am now looking to get back into the game, but I no longer subscribe to GamePass. If I buy the game on Steam, will I be able to access my old save file? I was decently far into the game and I’d prefer to not replay it if possible!

Like many, I've been looking for ways to lower by monthly grocery bill and I keep getting advertisements for local food delivery options, mostly Ottawa Valley Meat. These seem like pretty good deals and I love supporting local, but curious if anyone can share their experience with the service? I'm not necessarily looking for especially high quality meat, more just about getting good food at a good price.

I've also seen ads for services like Odd Bunch and other community food boxes, so if anyone has experience with other similar programs, I'd also love to hear your views! Thanks!

Been looking for a new CRPG to sink my teeth into after being introduced to the genre by BG3, and the Pathfinder series keeps coming up but I can’t decide which to pick up first. I’m mostly interested in the realm-building aspects of PF:K, how does this gameplay actually work compared to the more typical character driven story? Is this a big element or just a side objective? On that, does PF: WotR also include a similar mechanic?

I’m also not turned off by older games, but I’ve read some reviews that mention that PF:K was quite buggy at launch, I assume the Enhanced Plus Edition on Steam irons out a lot of those issues? I’m also curious how much the DLC adds to both games? I typically like getting the full experience from the start and with the sales going on, picking them all up seems reasonable but looking for some feedback on their content and quality.

Finally, is WotR a direct sequel or can it be played first? Any other opinions or advice would be very much appreciated!

Edit: I am playing on PC and have moderate experience in the genre, but certainly not an expert! I’d also like to play without mods if possible.

I played this game a ton when it first released and had a blast, but I haven't really played in about 6 months. Now I'm looking to get back into it after all the updates and I'm finding that the meta has shifted and my old tactics/habits don't work anymore. Specifically, I'm struggling with food/farming and understanding the changes to backyard extensions, and I'm hoping to get some tips on how to make these work in the new build:

• How many morgen should farm plots be? And how many families are needed to manage a single farm?
• Similarly, how many people (roughly) does a single 1 morgen wheat farm (assuming high fertility) feed?
• For backyard extensions, does size still only matter for the vegetable/apple extension?

I love this game and already think its something truly special, can't wait to see where it goes from here! Thanks in advance for help on these question and if you have any other tips for a returning player, please share them!

I've been tempted to pick up Rimworld during the Steam Sale, but I'm hesitant to drop that much on a game that seems like it might be too complicated/tedious based on my preferences. For context, I tend to love city builders/simulation games (like Anno: 1800 and Manor Lords), but I often struggle with games that more about micromanagement (like Workers and Resources) or building automation/supply chains (like Surviving Mars). I keep reading all these fantastic reviews about the 1000s of hours of you can get from Rimworld and how open ended and narrative driven it is, but also that the learning curve is incredibly steep and it takes a while to "get into" before it clicks. Just looking for some reviews/feedback from people that may not have a million hours to get gud to see if its worth my time and money!

Was passing by Carleton earlier (maybe around 8pm?) and saw a large number of ambulances and fire trucks at the field house or nearby. Just curious if anyone knows what happened or if there’s been any updates from the university?

I was recently listening to an episode of the podcast “American Medieval” where the presenters were discussing the precedence of the Crusades in American political and historical culture, and one of them mentioned that the Crusades fit into a “lost cause” tradition, not dissimilar to the US Civil War and to a lesser extent Nazi ideology. I was really struck by this framing and I am wondering if there is any work that explores this idea of Crusades-as-Lost-Cause or even on the role and influence of the crusades in modern America?
