It’s worth playing, I’ve been playing the hell out of this game for the last month.
If you want it in a more convenient way, it’s probably $3 on steam now (at least it was during the autumn sale).

And as soon as I saw your comment I realized I had the title wrong, it’s “Fallen Dragon”.

- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 4 weeks ago:
A long time ago now I spent over 10,000 hours on world of warcraft. I wouldn’t really recommend getting into it now though, I think the magic is gone.

And then you have to field uncomfortable questions with your kids when they ask about whether piracy is stealing. Or worse, the judgment from other parents when your kid brags to all his friends about having all the games and they don’t even pay for them.

I’m pretty sure there were flying mounts even before Skyrim. Hell, go all the way back to joust.
- Comment on Sega is delisting 60 classic games from Steam, so now’s the time to grab them 1 month ago:
I’m a bit curious too. My theory is that it may have come down to licensing and trademark issue. Since the game used actual car brands and their logos and such, they may have had some agreement over their usage and perhaps the period of that agreement ended. It’s worth noting that the game was available from several different stores, and it became unavailable everywhere as far as I know.

Well that’s certainly good news! And I admit I wasn’t aware of that announcement.
- Comment on Sega is delisting 60 classic games from Steam, so now’s the time to grab them 1 month ago:
No, you need to install them as well.
I know I have at least one game “grid: race driver” that was delisted from steam, I can no longer download it, it doesn’t even show up in my library. I’ve been trying like hell to find a way to play it, but even pirated versions are being difficult.

- Comment on DOOM can now run on a quantum computer with Quandoom port — seminal FPS blood and gore mixed with spooky action 2 months ago:
So, as far as I can tell, the primary difference with this version of the game is that it uses question registers?
What does that mean, functionally?
Like how does that affect the software? How would the software run on an actual quantum computer?

Wtf… There’s no narrative or throughline, it’s just like… if you distilled “unsettling” and put it on paper.
- Comment on Kotaku being Kotaku 3 months ago:
Why isn’t it targeted at the entire fanbase?
Is that a serious question? Because the answer is obvious…
Ok, let me start out by saying I have an 8 year old, and he fucking loves Minecraft. And hey, I played the game a bunch back when it was in beta and I was like 25. But I did not love the game the way that he loves the game… He’s obsessive about Minecraft, some days it’s all he talks about. How many adults do you know like that?
And here’s the real question, when’s the last time you bought Minecraft merch for yourself? Because my kid has a Minecraft lunchbox, a Minecraft hoody, a Minecraft Lego set, some Minecraft figurines, and of course the Minecraft sheets and PJs.
- Comment on Anno 117 : Pax Romana announced 3 months ago:
I played 2070 and had fun with it. More recently I played 2205 and honestly, I hated it.
My theory is that city builders are evolving and anno isn’t, but I’ll watch the trailer for this.

There’s an achievement for that though, so it all works out.

- Comment on Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? 5 months ago:
I had nearly given up looking for good mobile games when I remembered that emulators exist. Nintendo DS games map pretty well to a smart phone, there are some games that use entirely touch controls. I’m using the MelonDS emulator and I’ve mostly been playing advanced wars: days of ruin and puzzle quest 2. Puzzle quest is pretty excellent and chill by the way.
- Comment on Ant smell 6 months ago:
Right, but I legitimately love the taste of coffee now. Am I wrong? I know I didn’t like it as a kid, but does that mean I was correct to not like it then or correct to like it now?
I don’t know, but my instinct is that being able to enjoy the flavor of coffee is a real benefit. For instance, I can taste the nuance of coffee flavor in tiramisu. Without gaining an appreciation for coffee flavor, many foods that use that flavor would just taste bad.
- Comment on New Details on Valve's New Game 'Deadlock' - Insider Gaming 6 months ago:
Ah, I see now that you said “as a non moba player”. I missed that. I thought you meant that for someone who likes MOBAs, it was disappointing, so I was curious as to why.
But yeah, I don’t like them either, so it’s disappointing to me too. Too many heroes for me, give me a multiplayer game with character customization or 5 classes, but not 100 heroes.
- Comment on New Details on Valve's New Game 'Deadlock' - Insider Gaming 6 months ago:
Because this might mean abandoning dota? Or because you’re just not all that into what you’re seeing?
This sounds to me like it’s going to be more like overwatch than like dota, so I expect that’s really what they’re trying to compete with.
- Comment on Stellaris gets a DLC about AI that features AI-created voices, director insists it's 'ethical' and 'we're pretty good at exploring dystopian sci-fi and don't want to end up there ourselves' 7 months ago:
That said, this choice wasn’t actually a problem right?
I mean this game doesn’t use voice actors normally. If they used ai voice actors for this update only to represent the ai characters… isn’t that just appropriate?
Previously all characters in this game were represented only by text, so literally nobody is being replaced here.
Another way to think about it would be via representation. We get worked up when an ethnic character on screen is played by a different ethnicity, an actor in blackface for example. And in that vein using ai for organic characters could be seen as offensive, but using ai for ai characters would not. In contrast could we see using human voices for ai characters to be insensitive? That may sound far fetched, but this is sci-fi, the ai characters in the game are fully sentient and in their fictional universe would have rights, the whole point is to make the player think about what that means.
Well I guess I have my takeaway, I may consider boycotting any game that uses human actors for ai characters. Just get an ai actor… seriously.
