Im drunk posting. Someone take away my booze. Emperor of the Fading Suns is an old 4x game. Its VERY ambitious for its age. Like you have a planetary and a space layer -like planets are their own maps that rival the size of small 4x games. . There is a deep weeb of diplomacy between different imperial houses and a weird balancing act. Plus theres aliums that wanna fuck shit up. Theres also the church and trading houses. So you better watch out. When playing Emperor of the Fading Suns Enhanced. The cool stuff is this modern version actually runs good and can support the whole galaxy and shit. Cool stuff. Its on steam and gog and you probably can pirate it easy if thats your thing.

Im gonna try and get into it over the next 7 days wish me luck. Have a good Friday everyone.

EDIT : Its basically the old game from 1997 with a bunch of nice updates / balancing and its getting even new patches lately

Fuck I just wanna chill and play games but right now im too drunk and I got to do work tomorrow. Capitalism is neat cause you get 20 variants of Monster Energy that kill you but the real horror of capitalism is to realize you gotta work so you can buy the energy drink that kills you.

Im sure hexbear would approve. The game is woke despite being from the era of the dinosaurs 1997.

You have WOMEN and even a black person like me in it . A deeply polititcal game classic . I just realize this faction offers no white male as an option :^)

holy shit I can't believe a game could be so unrealistic

everyone knows women and black people didn't exist in 1997
