Oh god starbound

That game had one of the largest gaps between how fun I thought it would be and how fun it actually was that I've ever experienced

Is Starbound actually done yet? I was super on board with it because Terraria owns, but I don't play early access poo poo and last time I checked it seemed like SB was going to be in v0.9 forever.

Nope, it's still early access

I played distant worlds once for a very short period of time. It was extremely complicated and there were tons of interactions between all these little ships and stations and whatnot. It was really fun but learning how to do anything other than watch was more than I felt up to at the time. It's definitely a game to buy if you're into complexity.

However, it is far more complicated than modern paradox games, so make sure you're up to it.

those look more like games developed by game developers to me

That doesn't make them not indie though

And what is this one? It looks super familiar, I may have heard about it a few years ago, unless I'm thinking of a different game. This one is free, right?

I'm pretty sure it's Distance which is a remake of a free game called Nitronic Rush. I think the group made Nitronic Rush while students and now they're graduated and making Distance as a full game.

If they ever make a sequel I really hope the Castle Doctrine guy is in it: rich trust fund scum who acts self-made, bragged about living off of $14k a year to show those dumb poors that it could be done only to later have it come out that he was lying and not counting the money he spent on health insurance and other things, and beat dogs with a stick and then gave away the stick as a prize in a contest.

Holy poo poo! What's this guy's name? I know who you're talking about and I thought he was totally insufferable even without knowing about any of that

Hm. The twirl around shooter bit sounds kind of fun actually but I can't say I really want to play a poop rape abortion game. I guess it's good I didn't shell out :tenbux: for it on the sale

The Gane cube controller was almost literally perfect

The only problem with it was the stupid Z button. It didn't clack pleasingly like the other shoulder buttons and pressing it was vaguely uncomfortable for young me

the point of far cry 3 is that instead of being horrified by what a hosed up psycho he's become, jason finds that being crazy and murdering everything in a violent drug-induced fury actually rules and he doesnt give a poo poo about his old life anymore

just because it has a "point" doesn't mean it doesn't blow rear end

because far cry 3's story sucks and is also pretty racist

someone made a COYA game on twitter it's a cool and weird idea I enjoyed it :)

That was super cool. It also links to some sort of strange, lovecraftian horror book called The Wanderer. I am seriously considering buying it now

My favorite epic video game personality is anita sarkeesian

I actually like anita sarkeesian because she makes boring videos that say the most basic feminism 101 poo poo and losers on the internet get obscenely angry about it.

Seriously, her videos are like "Women in video games are often portrayed as little more than motivation for male characters" and then the comments are stuff like "shut the gently caress up you bitc hore ur trying to destory what mad gameing gr8!!!! Fcuk u". The disconnect between the lack of actual content in her videos and how much people read into it is hilarious.
