Simone Magus posted:Maybe a weird question, but anyone know of any management games streamers that are... just funny? Especially city building. Not trying super hard to be funny, just like... generally amusing? Streams? No. A_Raving_Loon on twitch is an amusing wizard man who calls mechanics by true names. If you find my posting funny, he would be a funny stream. Imperial_Jedi is my Cities Skylines plug, but also not funny, but he's wholesome Canadian warm milk. Brothgar brings a manic energy to ONY and Factorio-alikes. Some edited in jokes. Blackpants Legion does MechWarrior lore, spacestation 13, and rimworld stuffs. He's funny in a way you'd find the mountain man coming into town for the month to pick up supplies and talk Mecha at the Warhammer den. Hold up, I gotta scroll through my subs. Somebody has to be funny. Edit: JORBS! Jorbs is a genuinely funny streamer who got his from the online poker days of the late 2000s and got out via Slay the Spire. Also XCOM 2 Longwar, that's hella management right? 39daph is who I watch for all of the survival trapped on an island/raft/submarine type games. Canadian Korean that sometimes steps in the same circles as the Pokimanes and the Offline TVs Snuffy is the vtuber that has invaded my algorithm. She's a slutty stoner trashpanda that plays Spiro and unboxes pokimon cards. KirbyKhan fucked around with this message at 08:15 on May 26, 2021 |

I've never seen a stream that was funny. All streams are boring as hell. Worse than a baseball game. You need a guy who will record himself playing, edit out the boring parts, and put out a nice video LP highlight reel.

But like the Stellaris memes are p nice. Gamerzhak, I love the guy. Watching him build a Ceasar 3 map is like watching a clockmaker build a watch gear by gear. There are 3 sensible chuckles in a 4 hour stream. This is a comedy wasteland.

Not really sure if Limmy plays any management but he's the only funny streamer I've encountered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jzOUg4ZwCE Helps that he's a "professional"(?) comedian.

I find Decoherent funny but it's a very gentle sort of humour based mostly in how he talks to his Rimworld pawns. I feel like 'show me someone funny' is too objective to be really possible. Except ambiguousamphibian, he's hilarious. Just the way he says 'hello' at the start of his videos tickles me now I've seen a few.

What are people's thoughts on Railway Empires itt? I'm eyeing both that and Transport Fever 2, and while I have never played that sort of games before (closest thing I have played are city builders rather than this kind of management game) I think the setting and DLC of Railway Empires (in particular France and Japan) appeal more to me than TF2.

TF2 obviously has trucks and boats and planes which RE doesn't, so TF2 ends up being closer to a modern Transport Tycoon (if you've ever played that) where you're managing lots of different types of lines. Delivering goods to factories so they can make something out of it and then delivering that thing to cities so the cities can expand is real satisfying. Railway Empire is far more straightforward and less finicky to build efficient lines because they clearly show what signals are doing, and also feels scaled differently (like everything is squished together and the trains aren't to scale). I think for a newcomer Railway Empires is probably the better choice but I have more 'watching a virtual train set haha train goes brrrr' fun with Transport Fever 2.

Count me as way preferring Railway Empire over Transport Fever 2, a game I've never been able to get into. TF2 forces you into entire chains before you can make any money and that's a turn off for me, while in RE I can deliver here, there, and everywhere and then put them together as need be. And as you mention it has a lot of international scenarios as DLC as well.

queeb posted:railway empire feels more like a train puzzle game than a management game i find Yeah, I said before I thought it felt sort of like a mobile game - not at all to be condescending to the game - because of how puzzley it feels. I do enjoy both games but they do feel fundamentally pretty different from one another apart from the setting up and managing train lines part of it.

Might be an odd request but I thought I'd ask. Is there any management games that combine racing and management? I got Motorsport Manager a while ago and thought itd be cool if there was a game where you do the management side and then can actually do the races yourself. Doesn't have to be F1 racing specifically, can be anything (doesnt even have to be car racing).

Pretty sure that the Codemasters F1 games (2020 and the 2021 game releasing this summer) have that, though I haven't played them myself. Look into the career modes and "my team" modes.

Oh wow that looks exactly like what I'm looking for, idk why I thought those games were just racing. I think I'm gonna wait until the new one comes out, i have plenty of games to keep me busy until then. Thank you! Also re: Railway Empire/ TF2 chat. I'm a irl train enthusiast and agree that TF2 is probably the better management game especially if you want a more modern OpenTTD, but RE is vastly superior in terms of the actual trains, train history , train modelling, etc. Def the better choice if you're looking for more of a "model trains but in a computer" game.

If you have the humble bundle subscription, the newest F1 game was in the march or April bundle. I know not everyone has the disposable income, but I've just let that service go for a few years, piling up games for me. Half the time the thread says "have you checked out x" I've got a copy of it from the humble bundle sub. Its the best 12/month in gaming IMHO

Yeah the F1 game’s my team mode seems very nice, although I can’t say I played it for more than a few races. It does a cool job in the intro at least of making it feel neat and immersive. Plus the F1 games, for me, hit a very nice balance of simcade where it’s very tunable to your driving skill and not nearly as punishing as something like iRacing if you’re bad at driving. After a few races I had tuned in the difficulty settings I wanted so that I felt like I could really push and make things happen, but still have a huge challenge to get into a podium. I think the management side is a tad lighter than motorsport manager, but it could definitely scratch the itch. Still wish we could get a real motorsport manager sequel that’s not a goofy mobile game.

I think the ease of starting out with DSP broke my brain for factory games. Coming back to Factorio intermittently and it's a hell of a lot harder for it to get its "hooks" in than it was last time I played. Youthcat may have some weird choices & some issues with their game, but boy do they get the initial loop a lot more "right" than Factorio does. ... Also just remembered I'm doing railworld and biters are probably just offscreen. I should build my walls next time.

I like the trend of management games having optional mechanics that you can enable as you like for more or less complexity or challenge, like that DSP announcement or the various difficulty features of Workers and Resources.

The antimatter changes are odd, and throw my math off a lot, but I think they'll make antimatter better than it already was, which is... Neat, I guess. The oil changes are gonna hurt though.

I was kind of hoping they'd gently caress with the motor/turbine ratios to make them a bit less punishing. Anyone see what the advanced smelters or new recipes are?

They require unipolar magnets? That's impressive. If they're really good that might make the already low supply magnets compete with the container alt recipe.
