  • The same reputation extends to Windows too so I don’t think it’s a Linux specific issue.

    I like the UX as it’s pretty powerful but I’m mindful of being ancient and having spent nearly a decade working with arcane telco applications. I have the opposite of your complaint - I like that it does periodic checks and will notify you of detected problems and usually give you a button to press to solve it.

    My biggest pain usually comes in load order management. Usually this is because this is mentioned nowhere but in a note at the bottom of the mod description that might say something like “near the top” or “after mod x”. I don’t know how Steam just handles this mostly but I have a feeling it might be strong categorisation of mods.





  • I just hate the pathetic effort they put into the quotes. Sean Bean was a weird choice anyway (“what do people universally and forever like? Game Of Thrones I suppose!”) but then they had him read quotes from literal blogs and often quotes that shat all over the technology you’d just researched. Oh! I completed a wonder! I definitely want to hear a quote about how it’s obsolete now and its abandonment caused immense poverty in the Ruhr valley.

    That and the movement towards nations instead of, yknow, Civilizations. Sorry Australia, you are not a Civilisation. Nor is Canada. Nor Scotland. How do we have Scotland - an independent country for less than 300 years - and not the fucking Celts.

    You’re both half right.

    You get the version at the time of your subscription (plus bugfixes). Then every time a version has been out for 12 months while you’ve been paying you get that version perpetually (plus bugfixes).

    So it’s 1.0 when you subscribe, you get that perpetually.

    It’s 1.0.1 in your third month, you get that perpetually.

    It’s 1.1 in your fifth month. You get that perpetually after 17 months.

    It’s 1.2 in your eighth month. You get that perpetually after 20 months.

    You unsubscibe at 19 months but retain a perpetual version licence.

    • You started with 1.0
    • You ended with 1.2
    • You have to roll back from 1.2 to 1.1

    Previous version was incorrect. This is why I just distribute our licenses, not procure them!
