Yeah… 1212 hours in Factorio, and I only just started Space Age

I can’t really figure out whether this is a game for me…

I can’t handle horror…

That being said some of my all time favorite games had horror elements in them, games like Subnautica, Outer Wilds and Half-life 2.

So where on the horror scale does this rank? I heard there’s a “safe” mode where the monsters won’t hunt you, but does that actually reduce the horror? Or just cheapen the experience?

Subnautica, if you want a map, you have to start triangulation and drawing

If you want to migrate to Linux, I would strongly suggest you set up a dual boot, and start playing with it to gain experience. Being able to switch back to something you know is a massive benefit when you are still learning.

While Linux has come a very long way, you are sure to experience some hitches along the way. If not because of Linux itself, then because you are not familiar with how to do “that one thing” on Linux.

Live service and single player is not incompatible… Unfortunately…

Look at Hitman (2016 and forward), all require an online connection to play, and release new stuff monthly.

Many of Ubisofts games also require an online connection despite being fully single player, and you can even buy currency for the in-game single player shop with real money… What used to be a cheat code is now a microtransaction.

You are absolutely correct, but it’s a con for Epic too. Your comment makes it out to look like you don’t own your games on Steam, but by omission you make it seem like you do own your games on Epic.

I just want to make it very clear that you don’t own the games on either platform. But also want to mention that even if you buy a good old CD/DVD with the game on, then you still don’t own the game…

It’s absolutely awful that it’s practically impossible to own a game, and it’s even more awful that the platform can take away a game you paid for, let alone that they don’t even have to refund you for it…

You don’t own the games on any digital platform, neither steam, epic or gog. You’re only being sold a license to use it, and the license can be revoked whenever the company feels like it.

Thisbis actually true for most of the physical media back in the day, the only difference is that they didn’t really have a method to revoke the license… But that nice old cardboard box you have in your attic, with the nice shiny plastic disc… You still don’t legally own the software on it.

Honestly everyone should just stop offering 2FA over SMS
