Transport Tycoon Deluxe
Of course there is always OpenTTD, which has by far exceeded the original, but I would just like to see a modern game (not necessarily in terms of graphics) with the same vibe. Transport Fever and all the other variants never quite achieved the same depth and complexity.
I'm pretty sure you could train an AI to play a game like Civ, but the problem stays the same. As everything progresses to get more complicated and you have to decide even more every turn it gets harder and harder to train. The results are kind of unpredictable and you might have to train your AI again with every patch. It will limit the systems your game can run on (even excluding some platforms) and heavily impact performance on the systems it can run on.
The gameplay stretching out in later rounds is also what makes the AI so hard to improve. There is just too much to do and the effects are too complex to understand for a classic game AI. If they simplify the gameplay with the player progression into later ages it will also make the development of a competent AI more likely.
But to be honest: I doubt anything like that is going to happen. Even when controlling a planet wide empire I will have to decide what every city is going to do next and what every unit is going to do in the next turn...
And that's how you spell G-A-T-E-K-E-E-P-I-N-G.
So...get him this stick. It even says in the product pictures: Perfect Gift For All Ages I suspect your brother-in-law is of any age so it fits.
I can imagine the sandworm ride was a blast on the big screen and with the big speakers. I haven't felt so much being blown into my seat since Fury Road...
I remember as a kid that the main thing I liked about the game was that there was a pogo stick in it. Me and my brothers played it a lot. It was only in the last years I learned that it was also a technical masterpiece.

But ffmpeg works fine on other platforms without VideoToolbox. So why do I need VT for vt-enc? Wouldn't it work just fine on other platforms as long as ffmpeg is available?
The last game I did 100% was Psychonauts 2. I loved the world and after playing the fantastic story it was a good reason to spend some extra hours revisiting the levels.
I think it is pretty obvious that that's not "what Marvel wants".
I have to disagree. I don't think the joker does look like either Neuschwanstein or Hitler's painting of Neuschwanstein.
Nonetheless I agree that the artworks shown in the trailer are great.
