How are you dealing with the wait?

[thorned96183]

I don't really have the time to deal with the wait between my 2nd Year Uni exams and preparing for my ChemEng design project.

I was trying to pass the time playing Endless Space but that just wasn't cutting it....I used to love that game but it seems so one dimensional now after seeing Stellaris in action. Luckily I noticed that another space game I like, called Empyrion, had a big update and so I got back into playing it and I think this is going to get me through to May 9th. If it doesn't I can always fall back on CK2 or HOI3.

Work, also 413 games on Steam.

Watching Blorg streams on YT and playing Polaris Sector. It has things I haven't seen in any 4X yet and has surprised me more than once so far. Although I doubt there will be much competition for my attention once Stellaris is launched. Unless Stellaris refuses to run on my rig altogether.

I also have a huge job that I'm handing in on May 9... right on time for a Stellaris break.

i barely can deal with the wait. F5 on forum. Monday Dev Diary, thursday blorg stream. everyday Wiz tweets and lurking the forum. F5 F5 F5.

I never ever were hyped for any game before like that. not even close. i was like "oh... eu4 release. neat. almost forgot..." and that was maybe my second most hyped game. you see: i´m never hyping. but stellaris is.... different. it´s an historical release, that we´ll remember for years. And personally it´s the game i ever wished for... 4x and grand strategy all in one.

Yeah, wanted to write something similar
I might add reading for @TheBeautifulVoid S threads about phenomenons in space...
But in the end just waiting.....waiting...

Besides day dreaming about Stellaris I've been playing Satellite Reign on my PC and Vainglory on my iPad. They're both good fun in different ways and help pass the time. I probably won't touch them again for a long time when May 9th hits.

edit. If you liked Syndicate by Bullfrog back in the day then you will like Satellite Reign. Its the closest thing to it and a great game in its own right.

Working out and training, if you would believe it.

And I just spent an hour mapping out what traits and ethos choices make sense for the Imperium of Man.

Imma go with a spiritual oligarchy that's massively xenophobic I think..unless I change my mind again. x3

I did this too!! lol we are troubled people :s

[Tyr-El]

I've been making a list of ship names for my militaristic xenophobic materialistic humans (because of course our first reaction to seeing an alien will be to shoot it. And then dissect it. For science!)

 

[Teije]

Well, fitfully playing this game or that in my spare time but finding them all somewhat lacking.

Luckily work is super busy so that's keeping me occupied...

 

[Zqrfmb]

Learning traditonal blorg music

 

[elvet]

I have been writing my university final exams, as well i have been painting some warhammer 40K miniatures

 

[Dreadlord]

I got a part-time job to save some money(I admit it is for Stellaris, HOI IV and the following DLCs) so passing time is not a problem

 

[HotIceHilda]

Participating in the human tradition of "waifus". It is fascinating that this is so common, men and women from all ages and nationalities preserving themselves for the sake of a fictional character that they will never touch or love. Despite how odd it is I have also fallen to like this tradition, my fair maiden, Junko Enoshima, we will always have a life-bond.

 

[Sixwaldows]

Writing the entire backstory for the species/empire that I will play first. History, religion, society, etc.

I'm doing the Imperium of Man for my first game but this doesn't seem like such a bad idea over all.

 

[Oscot]

BTW, the game I do play when I have some free time is RimWorld.

Good man.

In my last game I domesticated one of those exploding camels, which then wandered into a firefight against some raiders, detonated, maimed three of my colonists, and started a fire that burned down the habitat. Everyone died horrible deaths of smoke inhalation or exposure. Apart from that one 14-year-old girl, who was already bedridden in the med bay, who starved to death over a period of 4 days 'cos there was no-one left to spoonfeed her protein gruel.

It was still substantially less painful to watch that than it was to come back to a reality where Stellaris isn't out yet.
