    Update 2: Safely made it to my brother's place thanks to the aforementioned friend's friend. Am now eating hot dogs with him and his wife, while his twins are finally asleep. Ordeal finally over. Only niggle I have is that I forgot my laptop's power cord at home, but there is an electronics...

    Update: Help is on its way. And sometimes it pays off to have internet friends. Contacted a Discord friend, who, in turn, contacted  another friend that lives nearby, and is coming to pick us up in roughly 40 minutes, maybe an hour. He's taking us to Iserlohn, where my brother can pick up his...

    So, shitty thing happened. My brother picked me up, so I can spend New Year's with him and his family, but on the way there his car got totaled and had to be towed away (we are fine, don't worry). Now we are stranded at a rest stop near Dortmund, waiting for his insurance to get off its ass and...

    Don't know. Haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

    I had something similar happen. When I bought a new laptop, the one I use now, and checked on my Steam Library to give it the ol' stress test to see what it could run that previously lagged, because I'm not good with specs, I noticed I had Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord in my library. I never...

    Update on the Three Kingdoms front: Kingdom of Wu was eaten (read: confederated) by the Kingdom of Wei, meaning I am fighting Cao Cao, as he doesn't like me. And While Gongsun Zan is now dead, and I now own the northern edge of the map, I now have an even bigger problem in the east, as now I...

    Oh, I can only recommend it, and I say that as someone that is only faintly aware of the Romance of The Three Kingdoms novel. I treat it mostly as an exotic setting, as my lack of knowledge means I am literally unable to nitpick anything about it, beyond giving the weird, jar-shaped shields of...

    Eight Princes is apparently considered by many players to be a waste of money, since it adds nothing, and is, as far as I understood it from a cursory reading on things at least, Chinese history isn't my strongsuit, pretty much about the death of a short-lived Dynasty, and the beginning of what...

    Having played Pharaoh Dynasties before (Not Warhammer, because that game is reaching prices comparable to Paradox games with all that DLC, and I don't have the cash for that), there are some features that are so convenient that it genuinely hurts that they are gone. Unit-Swapping is one big...

    Okay, took the plunge and bought Three Kingdoms, and, honestly? I haven't been able to put it down. I might have barely any cultural exposure to that period, given I was never into Dynasty Warrios, meaning I know some of the big players like Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Cao Cao, but...

    Given it's on sale on Steam, anyone here have any experience with Total War Three Kingdoms? Like, would it be worth the money on a sale, or should I not bother? I know CA abandoned it a good long time ago, but I still want to ask.

    Anyone else having a thing on this forum specifically (though it could be the case on others, not sure), where images in posts don't seem to load for a good while, but if you quote the post said image is in, it loads more or less instantly in the reply box? No idea what's causing that.

    Hehe, "We now interrupt your dream to give you the feeling of drool on your lips, paired with the sensation of being extremely disoriented, while a random Nickelback song from 20 years ago completes the ensemble. *a-chem* 'Look at this Photograph~'..." Or at least that's my experience. My...

    I have something specific to ask: Does anyone have that thing where you sometimes wake up in the morning, but are not fully awake, nor fully asleep, so you just lie there, probably drooling into your pillow, while some random-ass music plays on repeat in your head? It usually ends when you...

    You ever get the inexplicable urge to clean out a random shelf or cupboard in your house? Because I just had that. It's a good bit past midnight, and, for some reason, my brain thought it would be a good idea to de-clutter the small shelf next to my bed, that I use as basically my nightstand...
