  • 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.









  • It’s funny how easy it is for other people to call for us to revolt as if it’s just that easy. Oh yeah, just all of you get together and overthrow the biggest, most well armed government in the world. Sure… yup. Easy peasy. We do that every other weekend in my country!

    The people of the US aren’t going to rise up and overthrow a government that can curb stomp literally any other formally trained militaries in the world. It just won’t happen. All it will mean is fewer dissidents and an even stronger fascist response in the event of future uprising. We just don’t have any hope of attaining the sort of power.

    If there’s a revolution, the only way is to start from the top down. Formal legal complaint and lawsuits, impeachments, etc. That’s where we’re at right now. If that fails, then we need our officials to start talking dissolution or secession.





  • God yes!

    My brother and I used to play it every day! He was usually my only defender when I’d inevitably get accused of cheating. “Sorry dude, he doesn’t need to cheat. You just suck.” So many good times. Loved doing paintball and shotgun duels. Then I broke my headset and couldn’t find another one. I drifted toward PC gaming and when they shut down the SOCOM 4 servers, my brother gave up gaming.

    Both of us keep hoping they’ll finally do a new one that has crossplay so we can team up again.
