    My review of Europa Universalis V is up! This is a game that knows its for sickos and caters to sickos (and aspiring sickos) almost exclusively, but if you're the kind of person who thinks they would enjoy it, I think you'll be pleased. It is a bit underbaked though. www.ign.com/articles/eur...

    Have you ever been an autistic trans woman going at it with another autistic trans woman while a third autistic trans woman is also in the room playing Europa Universalis V and narrating everything she's doing in the game? Highly recommended.

    I'm glad someone feels my pain. What strikes me as weird about all this too, as a longtime fan of Paradox, is that Stellaris is the only game of theirs to my knowledge that they've actively used GenAI in. Crusader Kings? Nope. Victoria? Nope. Europa Universalis V? Nope. A little suspicious, ngl.

    Europa Universalis V is a game where the rise of gunpowder, printing press, etc. are core to its tech progression system but one funny thing about the conceit is that if you start as like Korea you get a bunch of techs that are like "yeah we already have this"

    Please don’t involve grand strategy games in this as I can’t even imagine how immensely upset one of those chuds would be repeatedly losing games of Europa Universalis V. I’d be surprised if they even had the patience to learn and understand how to even play the damn game.

    Europa Universalis V is a very odd game, you actually _do_ much less than in something like Dwarf Fortress, but it feels like you do just as much management and having to think about complex inter-system interactions. (Not a massive shock to strategy game players, but the genre is new to me lol)

    I'm a bit jealous. I bought Europa Universalis V (as a guilty pleasure, against my better judgement), and bugs aside this game has strong "one more turn" vibes, except there are no turns, it's real time with active pause, i.e. no definitive point where you can just stop. I haven't slept well lately.
