  • I’ve liked Star Rupture so far, but am I playing it wrong? I was kinda expecting there to be regular attacks similar to Factorio. Instead, after 20 hours of play, I’ve seen only one and killed them all so fast it wasn’t even really a threat. I feel like the progression of conflict needs to be little more aggressive.

    That’s especially coming from Creepy Jar. If you’ve never played Green Hell, which they’ve also got on sale under $3 right now, survival in it is absolutely brutal to start off. I was expecting that kind of difficulty curve.


  • This… Put games on your wishlist, set your wishlist to only show sales, and sort by price. Then only buy games from that list when they go on a significant sale. Plenty of decent games out there regularly go for $5-10 or less. With very few exceptions I refuse to pay more than $20-30 for a game and, even then, only if they’re like 50% off and not likely to come down.

    Also… stop pre-ordering games. They’ll still be there when they do go on sale. You don’t need to play them as soon as they come out. Conquer that FOMO shit and develop some integrity.











  • Going to copy my post over from the original for anyone wondering why because the description does nothing to explain:

    I watched a few minutes of it and finally got to it… If I got it right, the guy suing them wanted to make a mod with guns. Mojang said no and got it shut down. He’s suing because he believes a company shouldn’t have any say over how users might modify their games.


  • I don’t feel like the story telling was as good in Evermore. Secret of Mana grabbed me a lot more with it’s characters and it’s difficulty, and I always loved the plot despite some pretty obvious flaws. The music is still one of the best ever soundtracks too.

    I think Evermore also got completely overshadowed by Chrono Trigger being released just 2 months before in the US.
