![[Guide] How to change the turn mode (Dynamic ↔ Simultaneous) of an existing Civ VI multiplayer save](https://i0.wp.com/levelsave.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/capsule_616x353.jpg?resize=375%2C195&ssl=1)
Started a multiplayer game in the wrong turn mode and only noticed 190 turns in? The game won’t let you change it when you reload, but it’s a quick hex edit. This is the Civ VI version of the old Civ V trick. Why it works: Civ V stored turn mode as readable text (GAMEOPTION_DYNAMIC_TURNS) followed by an on/off byte. Civ VI doesn’t store the setting names as text; it stores 4-byte codes (CRC32 hashes). I made two saves that were identical except for turn...
I’d like to preface this piece with the following information: I’ve waited in line 4 times, totaling over 10 hours of my free time, and still have not purchased an NES Classic. I’ve attempted to buy one second-hand without paying more than twice the retail price, with no success. I’ve been on a waiting list at a brick-and-mortar retailer (that I will not name) since the day it was announced, and have not yet acquired a unit. Still waiting on a...
Before we begin this article about Rick and Morty VR, I have to come forward with a very important piece of backstory… I’ve never seen Rick and Morty. I hardly know which one is Rick and which one is Morty… and don’t even ask me to tell you which characters are from Rick and Morty and which ones are from Bob’s Burgers – they all kind of look the same to me. That’s not to say I dislike the show. I just don’t have cable nor an...
Early yesterday Microsoft announced their new subscription initiative, the Xbox Game Pass, to the horror of Gamestop investors everywhere. It’s an interesting move for the company, and is clearly building off the wildly successful EA Access program offered on PCs and Xbox Ones. Many are quick to call this program the “Netflix of Gaming”, which is fairly accurate considering the ease of use and the rotating library of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games they plan to...
Timothy Wedel gave us a great look into how PlayStation Now works (sometimes), and its an experience that mirrors my own when I gave it a go on the Vita. In short, it has a huge amount of potential and should evolve nicely as Sony continues to put development support into it. Right now, however, it’s not a pleasant experience the majority of the time. Sony put a lot of effort into the system in hopes of it serving as “backwards compatibility” for older...
The details of Nintendo’s new online service are still incomplete. We know it will hit the Switch sometime this fall and the current rumors are a $30.00 price per year in the United States. What that $30 gets you has never really been fleshed out aside from some generalizations about services for matchmaking, chat, and a free game initiative.
![[Opinion] Nintendo's Switch plans are disrespectful to consumers](https://i0.wp.com/levelsave.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/20-nintendo-switch.jpg?resize=375%2C195&ssl=1)
Earlier this week, Nintendo unveiled the Nintendo Switch in all its hopeful glory to the general public. This is the second third fourth fifth sixth time since Nintendo’s Switch launch announcement that I’ve felt horribly disrespected and let down by Nintendo. To begin… Launch Title Embarrassment First off, Nintendo announced to the world today that the Nintendo Switch’s biggest launch title, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (which is also...
(Author’s Note: All game play shown in this article is my own, captured on Xbox One, and shared via xboxdvr.com) Let’s be honest with each other for a moment. We’ve all played the Battlefield 1 Beta. Judging by internet reaction, captured metrics across all three release platforms, and YouTube saturation, everyone with thumbs that function normally gave Battlefield 1 a shot during the Beta test this past weekend.
This weeks Watch This Wednesday is a bit more meta than usual. See, a few months ago I got to speak with Major Nelson at PAX East. This wasn’t our first time meeting, I just happened to see him on the sidelines and figured I’d get a good picture. Apparently the internet wasn’t a fan. Check out the video below and you’ll see what I mean. If there’s two things I pride myself on, it’s being a goofball and not caring what others think: this...
I was going through a bit of a change: a new job had me driving an hour each way for training. This wasn’t the worst thing in the world – early mornings were simply made a bit earlier, and late nights a bit later. It’s worth noting this was at Wegmans, a high end grocery store with a cafe inside. Right around this time I was first introduced to Soylent. Soylent, for the uninitiated, is the meal-in-a-bottle food of the future straight out of Silicon Valley...
