This giveaway last time was the reason I installed the epic store. All I can say is that I have no regrets. Control is amazing and it’s absolutely worth swallowing your pride to play this amazing game for free.

I played Wow for the first 3-4 years after its launch.

I had a part time job back then, but otherwise I was playing wow. At some point my /played time passed a year, after that I refused to look. I don’t know if it ever got to two years, but I fear it may have…

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).

Edit: at time of writing it’s $4.79 on steam, still a steal.

This is just what I need for my science-based dragon mmorpg!

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

His book Dragonfall is one of my favorite books ever.

Sorry my brain stopped working, it’s called Fallen Dragon.

You may be preaching to the choir here on Lemmy.

Probably 90% of us have left Reddit to use this instead.

(Not that I disagree with you, I feel your frustration)

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.

Yeah, but then it kept working, so I kept windows 7 installed.

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.

Aren’t we at like… 4?

I’m pretty sure there were flying mounts even before Skyrim. Hell, go all the way back to joust.

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.

No, you need to install them as well. It’ll work as long as it’s installed, but after they’re delisted, I don’t think steam can even distribute them.

I know I have at least one game “grid: race driver” that was delisted from steam, at some point I must have uninstalled it, and now I can’t 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.

Edit: judging from comments and downvotes, apparently this is rare? But it does definitely happen, I’m not making this example up. And I don’t know how you could predict whether a game will just be unavailable for purchase or totally disappear…

You know kids today, they yearn for the mines…

I can’t get mine to stop mining.

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?

Truly, the Ron Swanson of toast.

Wtf… There’s no narrative or throughline, it’s just like… if you distilled “unsettling” and put it on paper.

Well, successful art I guess, it made me feel things…
