That's quite the old game to review. I remember playing to it even before Stellaris launch.

Now you listen here, Sins only came out a couple of years ago in 2012, that was what, ...5 years ago? See, not so bad!

(Side note Sins is fantastic and I hope once the new one is out of early access that it will be a similarly fantastic game)

Your internal NTP server may need an update. It is off by... Some time 😆

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

N...no! It's just the early 2010s, clearly. Surely. Okay, maybe the late 2010s... but no later!

Oh no...

Maybe they were in the mall? 😆 (that thread was immediately previous in my feed)

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Can you link said thread ?

[–] malaknight@programming.dev 9 points 8 months ago

It's even older than that, Sins originally came out in 2008.

Mandalore reviews mostly older games.

Give his Mystery of the Druids or Limbo of the Lost videos if you want to experience some of the most absurd games ever made.

Thanks for that additional insight into this channel. This completely changes the way that I will now look at this content.

He's a real "PC Gamer's Reviewer". Sometimes the best games already came out and I haven't played them yet!

I genuinely can't tell if you're being a dick or sincere here

[–] nimmo@lem.nimmog.uk 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Haha, that's fair. I was being sincere.

I'd initially scrolled past thinking "I played this whilst I was still at Uni, why is anyone talking about it now?"

Now that I know this person's focus is intentionally looking at older games I'm willing to go and give it a watch.

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Ah, awesome!

Yeah, Mandalore does some newer stuff (I think he reviewed the newest Total War Warhammer game as it came out), but it's mostly older.

I'd also recommend the Ring and Anonymous Agony videos if you want more utter absurdity. Fair warning with Anonymous Agony, it's as edgy as edgy can possibly be. And the Ring is complete nonsense but still a great time.
