  • That’s fair. Although Laith said that Paradox is letting him say whatever he wants, if I got invited to help announce the sequel to one of my favourite games I would be a bit biased. With every video I watched I audibly said wow at least once. I did not expect that many features and depth from a paradox game at release! Makes me wonder what they have left out to sell in DLC. Also makes me worry about how much time developing those features took away from bug fixing…






  • Is it a pre made modpack from curse forge or one they made himself? If it is the first, there should be an option when adding a new instance to download a modpack from curseforge or modrinth.

    If it’s the second, ask them to send the modlist and add the mods manually. You can do that by pressing “edit” on your modded instance, going to mods on the left, pressing “download mods” on the right and searching for all the mods in their modlist. Make sure when you create the instance you select “vanilla” instead of curseforge and select the forge modloader at the bottom of the menu instead.

    When I get home I will add some video tutorials if I didn’t explain it well.


  • One of my favourite game dev stories from the 1980s is the story of Elite. It was a game people thought couldn’t be made. Most devs thought hardware wasn’t powerful enough and publishers thought it wouldn’t be fun enough.

    It was one of the first properly 3D open world video games ever made. I think when it released it sold nearly as many copies as there were home computers that could run it.

    In order to make the game small enough to fit on a cassette tape they had to ditch basic and program the entire game, world in assembly.

    There’s a fantastic video about it here: https://youtu.be/lC4YLMLar5I




  • Unrelated but a few Nando’s near me (not sure if it is all of the UK’s Nando’s) started offering a fanta orange flavoured sauce to replace the regular peri peri stuff on our chicken.

    No one I went with last time wanted to try it so I don’t know how nice it is but it sounds disgusting!
