Cool. I remember a buddy showing it to me in his college dorm room. I was more interested in Unreal Tournament (which released a year later) at the time and probably couldn’t afford to buy another game anyway. But I was positively obsessed with Half Life 2 a few years later…

Factorio would cost me $370

Dyson Sphere Program. Factorio and Satisfactory tend to get all the press, but DSP is AMAZING.
- They learned a lot of quality of life lessons from older factory games and built them in, e.g. you get bots right away.
- The visuals can be breathtaking: not because it’s raytracing/whatever fancy tech, but simply the scale of the game: giant gas planet rises at the horizon, etc.
- It does power exceptionally well: there are a ton of power sources, and a lot of depth in figuring out how to power your mega factories. You can even charge up a battery and ship it by spaceship to another moon/planet. Going back to Factorio’s simplistic steam/solar/nuclear power feels like a let down.
It’s in early access, but it’s one of the most polished early-access games you’ll find. They’re currently working on a large combat update that should drop in December. Price-to-value ratio is ridiculous. It’s $20 and I have 155 hours in the game.

I’m so hyped for the next Rimworld DLC!

with Valve continuing to rapidly improve Proton, just about any Windows game runs on Linux now
I hope this is actually true, or becomes true. The only reason I’m on Windows is for gaming.
Heck even my Bitwig DAW runs on Linux.

I thought there’s no way… when you boot up!? Sure enough. “the ad in question pops up when players boot up their Xbox”
Wow

I’m between games at the moment, so I’m revisiting old favorites: Factorio and Hitman
I was playing Baldur’s Gate 3 but I’m burnt out on it at the moment. Combat is relentless in that game…

A workaround I like is using the Reader View built into Safari on iOS – strips most junk out, leaving clean text
