highelfmage.bsky.social @highelfmage.bsky.social · 09/10/2026One thing I've learned from watching billionaires and AI is that people need pushback. They need boundaries. Being surrounded by yesmen or yesbots makes people lose all touch with reality in the worst way. 0171

highelfmage.bsky.social @highelfmage.bsky.social · 06/10/2026My extremely controversial opinion is that Season 8 is not significantly worse than Seasons 5-7, but also that Seasons 5-7 make dogshit look appealing. 050

highelfmage.bsky.social @highelfmage.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I hope they hit with Medieval 3. Other than Medieval 3 and Empire TW 2, I don't think there's much I want from CA anymore. 000
highelfmage.bsky.social @highelfmage.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Oh yeah, WoW probably blows all of these out of the water now that I remember I used to play that 25/8. 000
highelfmage.bsky.social @highelfmage.bsky.social · 04/10/2026AOE 3 also ranks in the top 10 if including DE and the original version from 2007. I also have a non-Steam copy of the game that probably adds a few hundred hours, though that goes even more so for AOE2. 100
highelfmage.bsky.social @highelfmage.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Hoi4 is the biggest surprise, I don't feel like I played that game all that much. I guess all those KR games added up. AOE 2 is actually #1 if combining DE and HD editions. Medieval 2: TW would probably rank here if I had bought it on Steam back in 2007. I can only assume WC3 reigns supreme. 100
highelfmage.bsky.social @highelfmage.bsky.social · 04/10/20261. Crusader Kings 2 2. Stellaris 3. Age of Empires 2: DE 4. Hearts of Iron 4 5. Mount & Blade: Warband 6. Civilization 5 7. Skyrim 8. Crusader Kings 3 9. Empire: Total War 10. Total Warhammer 2 Skyrim and AoE2 would be higher if including other versions (SE and HD editions, respectively). 100

highelfmage.bsky.social @highelfmage.bsky.social · 30/09/2026How many men are murdered in revenge for another murder? And yet men still murder. There are places with blood feuds going back centuries.

highelfmage.bsky.social @highelfmage.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I'm late to the party but I thought I'd throw mine in. I went with the most influential, so I'm leaving off more recent games that I loved like TW3 and Crusader Kings. 010
highelfmage.bsky.social @highelfmage.bsky.social · 27/09/2026As much as I agree with the sentiment "history is cool, you should learn it," if we kept people in school until they learned everything some dude on the internet thought was cool, they'd never leave. 180
