It’s called Space Run. You have to make space ship runs and configure your ship for the best combination of speed, defense, and offense.

Most of the time when I get a game for free I don’t value it as much. There are some exceptions, I’ve gotten into a few giveaways like Dead Island 2 and Lord of the Rings Return to Moria.

But mostly I want gaming to be convenient. Steam is very convenient and has some really great sales. I recently found a space tower defense game I wanted to try and it was 0.79 on sale. Less than a dollar.

Make it first-person and maybe I’d be more interested.

I’ve gotten into a handful of them. I appreciate the games but modern Epic sucks big-time. They and Sweeney used to be among the best, pioneers.

That explains a lot of his bad takes in recent years.

Nonsense, drivel, pablum, crap, noise, junk.

Generative AI is slop, and the Microsoft CEO is sloppy.

There is a rumor that Dying Light 2 will be given away by Epic in the next week or so. They are giving away a different game every day right now.

I always go to Steam to read the reviews for the free games that Epic gives away.

I don’t mind AI as long as it’s filtered through humans. Like don’t just generate something and ship it directly to the consumer. Use AI generated content as a stepping off point for what you want to create.

Far Cry 5, especially coop.

Just Cause 3 definitely.

And there are so many games that never got finished or polished properly.

Seriously. I would work very hard on my own font before I would pay to license one.

Agreed. There’s probably one big reason he doesn’t like this tag and that’s money. He probably realizes that people will visit the Steam page for a game to read reviews and discussions even if they might buy it on Epic.

Dude needs to mind his own business. He just wants his customers to be ignorant.

On the wrong side of nearly everything. Disappointing, he was a gaming pioneer. Now just a petty greedy corpo.

Minecraft, Star Sector, Dwarf Fortress until recently. Stores like Epic and GOG and itch.io.

Plus Steam gives you content distribution, discussions, patches, all for free.

Spiderman Remastered is like $23 right now, but took many years to get that low.

Agreed, the natural language input and output are quite good. Everything else not so good.

15 gaming PCs, now that’s just too many.

That’s weird. Maybe it’s a performance issue, they squeeze a few more FPS with narrower views.

I think Valve has a lot of good people there. Hopefully succession has been planned and leadership will go to someone as good as GabeN.

XP UI was great, security not great.

Porta-potty company.

Creative control until the Bobs come in and fire everyone not wanting to toe the authoritarian line.

Origin Systems, they made Ultima Underworld and Wing Commander. EA turned Origin into a download client. I’m still salty.

There are far too many gamers that will happily buy the yearly FC/FIFA or Call of Duty.

1. AI first
2. Terrible reviews
3. Studio out of business

I understand the single player campaigns are somewhat fun. I’ve had Black Ops on my Steam wishlist for years and it has never been on a decent sale.

That’s awesome. I’m almost ready to switch to Linux, but I hop around to many different games and not all run on Linux.

Lossless, that suddenly becomes interesting to me.

Yeah I had some fun with Day-Z and Player Unknown’s Battle Royale, but the repetitive rounds in those sorts of mods got boring to me pretty quickly. Especially the scavenging for gear each time, I just wanted to battle but it feels like work.

I have the same sort of issue with RTS games where you are in a race to build your base and units, I don’t enjoy speed harvesting and building.

I was stoked for BF6 until it wanted me to enable Secure Boot and install rootkit anti-cheat. Now with the Saudis and Jared Kushner in charge installing a rootkit to play a game is an even worse idea. Maybe if I only used the computer for gaming.

I just watched a good Any Austin video on RDR2, he studies the power line infrastructure on the map. Makes me want to play again.

Trying No Man’s Sky for probably the third time. It’s clicked a bit better this time. I jumped back in because of the Corvette building, took me probably a week of evenings to finally be able to build one. It’s pretty darn good, I think it finally clicked. The storyline still feels like the longest checklist tutorial ever, 30+ hours in.

The demo or the full game?

Yeah I bought it about a year ago and had a lot of fun with it. There are a lot of different gameplay systems and the combat is satisfying.

He is lost in cyberspace.

Movement is not back. Last BF games I’ve played are BF1 and BF5, and I preferred the more fluid movement in 5.
