"Stellaris"
 
   Verifying yet again that I'm not any _good_ at these sorts of things, I picked up the basic Stellaris pre-order.

Well.

If you're a fan of Crusader Kings or Europa Universalis, here's your chance to fire up some Grand Strategy (as opposed to '4x') in Spaaaaaace. So far, the game is remarkably stable, and patch 1.01 (which is in beta) is supposed to offer serious performance improvements.

There's not much to choose from between _species_, the tech tree and the buildings and whatnot appear to be pretty universal, but the traits and abilities of your species look like they're going to be very important to your gameplay style.

If you aren't familiar with Crusader Kings or Europa Universalis, think of it as a "through the looking glass" Civilization - where Sid Meyer is coming from one set of principles, these folks have a completely different set. They're doing very similar things, but one's got almost nothing in common with the other.

Kinda like Ford vs. Chevy. Vastly different starting assumptions and similar goals.

Runs well, though my machine is no slouch (4.3ghz i7, 16gb ram, gtx 970 vidya, ssd) I've logged 21 hours in the ... 72 hours since launch.

And I can't stop talking about Make Space Great Again. I'm gonna build a wall, and make the Xallorxians pay for it!

I may be a horrible person.
