It’s almost comical how much money Epic is willing to pour into the memory hole for a shot at maybe breaking Steam’s stranglehold monopoly on the online distribution market.

And the fact that Steam still has a stranglehold after all that is demonstration enough of the power of inertia, I guess.

Fuck the economic actions of that, I just care that it's a free game.

They're naming the 3.5 patch after a pornographic magazine from Mass Effect. Okay. Alright. I can handle that.

The Victoria 3 map is alive and sentient. This makes the "one more turn" aspect in these style of games so much more real. If you don't load up the game and give it attention, it's going to live a life of pain and solitude.

It's a constellation that they named the thing from Mass Effect after, in keeping with the theme of Libra and Cepheus.

These are all so old and tired. I’ve been castrating rebels since I was 8, the real joy now is a loving family that’s doesn’t castrate me back.
