    Today on “Will it run on the Steam Deck:” ✅ Distant Worlds 2 Initial long load but runs flawlessly. Set 60fps, TDP 11w, GPU 800. Excellent 4x space game that is super detailed! Eg. Resources need to be mined & SHIPPED to the location you want to build. Go from pre-warp to dominating the galaxy!

    store.steampowered.com/app/1280190/... I still always have a Stellaris game going (and an X4 game I started 3 years ago) but I fall off of sins 2 every once in awhile cuz it gets boring. Distant Worlds 2 is another great one

    As someone else for whom MOO3 was the formative gaming hype train, I actually think Distant Worlds 2 is the game MOO3 wanted to be (it even did the "automation of whatever parts bore the player" way better) but Stellaris is the game MOO3 _should_ have wanted to be, given what MOO2 was to the genre

    Distant Worlds 2: The game you will want to play if you ever wanted to know what a Navy promoting utter incompetents based on who their daddy is looks like. Hey, the system I just left is getting hit again? Well, tough luck. I will first return to my home base and then - perhaps - return. What do I hear? The pirates are already done raiding the planet? Ah well, no use returning then. I shudder at the thought of what a real war is going to look like. #Gaming #DistantWorlds2

    Yeah I’ve heard that as well as it being cpu bound is an issue running on the Deck - especially when things get going in the game. I’ll admire from afar. I actually subbed in Distant Worlds 2 as a similar X4 vibe, but can run on Deck.

    Distant Worlds 2 would be one hell of a game. If the automation wasn't so incredibly bad that it feels like your entire admiralty is made up of bumbling fools. I mean sure, deserting your post and the mining station you were charged with protecting - while it was being attacked - just because you were a bit light on fuel is a choice you can make. It's also going to be the shortest court martial in naval history. #Gaming #DistantWorlds2

    🔴 #LiveStream - #DistantWorlds2: Killing time before tomorrow's Factorio Space Age release! We're playing a mostly automated run in Distant Worlds 2 where we let the in-game AI control most of the decisions pertaining managing the galactic empire. I will be managing research and ship design. There's also an expansion coming out for DW2 this week so this game isn't expected to run for too long. But hey, let's have some fun with this! https://video.surazal.net/w/9HhmDj1WqnkgTzvXKsVKka #PeerTube

    It's been a while so I thought I'd switch things up and play some Distant Worlds 2. But... I'm not really playing? I'm playing a fully automated game in all areas except for research and ship design. I'll get the in-game AI handle the rest. So, this will be a chill stream. I'll also talk about what my plans are for the channel and my other projects I have in the pipeline. Come by and chat! Feel free to ask questions, too. https://video.surazal.net/w/9HhmDj1WqnkgTzvXKsVKka #peertube #stream…

    Today on Distant Worlds 2: Endgame, it's WAR! We've been building up our military and home defenses, and now we must go on the offensive! We will take our battle to the north first and try to encircle our main rival first. It won't be easy since we will engage with multiple enemies, but we are prepared. Let us fight! https://video.surazal.net/w/9HhmDj1WqnkgTzvXKsVKka #DistantWorlds2 #PeerTube #Stream #Streaming

    Today on Distant Worlds 2: The Endgame, the time for war has arrived. If we stay asleep for much longer our light will be eclipsed. We must remain on top and conquer the galaxy! The Ackdarian Technocracy is on the move. We're building our unstoppable Titan armies and our Battleships have no equal. Our pacifier fleet will prepare the future members of our sprawling empire for their ascension. https://video.surazal.net/w/9HhmDj1WqnkgTzvXKsVKka #DistantWorlds2 #peertube #Stream #Streaming

    It's stream time! We're approaching the endgame as far as the research tree is concerned. I've been focused on civilian research which has helped me economically but it looks like the AI players are catching up to me in fleet strength. I need to fix that. https://video.surazal.net/w/9HhmDj1WqnkgTzvXKsVKka #DistantWorlds2 #PeerTube #Stream #Streaming

    SNEAKY STREAM! Last night I did a short Distant Worlds 2 stream and realized about an hour into the game I had made a critical error, so I'll start over from the first save game. I didn't get too deep into the play-through, fortunately. So today it's do-over time! Today we're playing with the XL mod which rearranges the tech tree and expands the late game. I'll be focusing on learning mid-game warfare tactics in this run. https://video.surazal.net/w/9HhmDj1WqnkgTzvXKsVKka #DistantWorlds2…

    Saturday Surprise Stream! Distant Worlds 2 (XL mod): Learning Warfare Tactics I've got much better handle on the early game, but now I need to figure out how to more effectively wage war in the mid-game. Our enemies are crafty and tenacious. I'm playing with the XL mod which modifies the tech tree to make the game more expansive. https://video.surazal.net/w/9HhmDj1WqnkgTzvXKsVKka #DistantWorlds2 #PeerTube #Stream #Streaming

    Playing Distant Worlds 2 and started a new game. Set tech research to very slow so decided I had time to start slow and get along the other parts of the tech tree before researching hyperdrive. Took a decade ish to advance a bit get the initial support techs.

    Today, in Distant Worlds 2: I think we've cracked the mystery of how to build a strong economy in this game. We're maxed out on research and colony growth for our empire, and I feel good about this run as long as I can keep costs under control. We've also got our first colony so we'll see how that goes. https://video.surazal.net/w/9HhmDj1WqnkgTzvXKsVKka #DistantWorlds2 #PeerTube #Stream #Streaming

    Did a few practice runs to improve the economy game in Distant Worlds 2. And in this game, the Economy is King. We will try to see if we can start the game with a different government and then transition to a Technocracy at the appropriate time. I think that might make a huge difference in the early game. https://video.surazal.net/w/9HhmDj1WqnkgTzvXKsVKka #DistantWorlds2 #PeerTube #Stream #Streaming
