  • Unnamed Space Idle? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2471100/Unnamed_Space_Idle/

    It is pretty similar to Melvor, you have a space ship instead of a character. Ship automatically shoots baddies and goes forward. You upgrade the ship, it’s parts, etc. Proceed to idle, harveste materials, craft stuff, collect bonuses, unlock new tiers of stuff… etc. It looks a bit amateurish, but it’s pretty cool as far as idlers go.

    It has offline progress, cloud saves & works on linux too. And apparently you can share your progress with android version too - but I dunno for sure, haven’t tried.

    There are mtx available, but even the game tells you they’re not really needed, they’re there for giving support to the dev - and I can confirm, the game isn’t coin operated at all, you gain everything you’d realistically need through gameplay at reasonable pace.



  • got the first game/shareware on some random “bajillion games collection!” cd when I was a kid. Even if it wasn’t a full game, the amount of game the shareware episode had was staggering. Years later I came across the second part which was released as freeware. There was much rejoicement.

    The game sure has it’s BS moments - like nearly impossible dragons/whatever enemies which occasionally just murder you, but dangit I like it. :3

    Just got to figure out a way to “double the pixel size” so that all those crusty graphics don’t get too small on my screen, dosbox + win3.1 is nice but… could be better! :P







  • Aliens: Colonial Marines

    IMO, the game is better than it’s reputation - at least in it’s current state. After the .ini tweak to fix the alien ai-typo makes it a bit better - afaik, I can’t remember if my group played it with the fix or not, we’ve played the campaign at least 3 times now.

    The game’s not a masterpiece by any means, though. It is pretty enjoyable action game in COOP and fairly high difficulty. Sure, arguments could be made that any game is, but game still more fun than not. Now, would I play the game on my own, as single player? Eeeeeeeh, dunno… But if my gaming group asks to play some ACM, I’m down.

    Some random points about the game summarized:

    • Pulserifle goes BRRT, alien goes splat.
    • Could do with less of the human/android enemies though, or at least the parts with androids felt like they dragged on for considerable time.
    • Quite a bit of collectible guns, they’re mostly sidegrades but they are different enough, imo.
    • runs on a toaster
    • goes for pennies on Steam sales, so gaming group funny hours per unit of currency -ratio is pretty good, imo.

  • I’m a bit two minds about it. On one hand, yea, they are essentially ads for the franchise, but on the other: looks like it’s (probably) high quality and high effort content for the grimdank world I know and love.

    What I have issue with W+ is that basically none of the content currently on the service interests me, and for sure I’m not subscribing to a service for ONE SHOW, which (almost guaranteed) will drip feed the episodes - however many there might be.

    Would I be down to pay one time fee and just get it on dvd/bd/mp4/whatever? Absolutely. Is it going to happen? Absolutely not, gw would probably consider it heresy.

    And I’d rather not go to “rogue traders’ sites” for it.
