Fair! But why “Pirates!” but not Civilization? Formally, they are all named with the prefix.
DragonBox have been excellent. Been a few years and ownership changes since I looked at their games, so hopefully they haven’t enshittened.
Skyrim is ported to RealityV3. It is still buggy. Hackers have successfully run Doom on a hydrogen atom. Gamers are shitting and yelling that someone put a Martian as a playable character in Red Dead Redemption MCMVII.
The laws of captialism entropy:
Any organization that sees success will attract profit-driven leadership, and will become such over time. The soul from the original founders will be watered down, dampened, or ejected.
A profit-driven organization will over time become more and more profit-seeking, never less. Once this reaches a certain threshold, we start to use phrases like “enshittification”. Valve hasn’t gone shit yet imho, but their soul and passion doesn’t seem to lie in games anymore.
The next excellent product comes from new, growing organizations or small teams that may grow into such.
It is best to just treat it as any other law of nature and so we move on from Blizzard, Google, EA, Valve, Epic Games, Unity, etc and go swim in the wonderful vibrant indie scene.
It’s playable and you can enjoy the game, but 30FPS is embarrassing. It makes me feel like I’m a kid playing on a PC assembled out of old leftover components. Which was tolerable when I was a cashless kid playing pirated games on inherited frankenPCs, but it feels so wrong when playing a bought game on its intended spec hardware.
Been playing it a few hours. So far the tactical part feels very similar to Fights in Tight Spaces but more forgiving. Puzzly, lots of interactions with environment.
The writing is really well done and the humor and tone are wonderful in the way only brits can do it.
There is something about an out-of-work elite strike team having to rely on public transport and using the lead wizard’s mom’s apartment for HQ while they are still taking everything seriously.
Thank fuck. Those parts of the game were grating.
A bit of both! RTS games are fun as practice-repeat challenges when I have enough free time to game while I have a bit of energy. Turn based are good any time. :)
Doom, Star Citizen, Solitaire, Pac-Man, Manor Lords, Elite Dangerous, Star Stable

Postmortem link doesn’t work for me. Any alternatives?
Satisfactory 1.0 AND Factorio Space Age same fall?
Might have to ask my wife to get a second job so I can take a two month vacation.
Tomato Way is a true wonder
LoadingReadyRun’s “watch+play” series could be worth a look. Not strict reviews, but entertaining videos based on terrible games.
Spam.
AI generated site that re-hosts an existing game.
Example of clearly AI drivel, the instruction for the player to “explain your answer”

At some jobs, I can get away with “Señor Developer” or “Computer Toucher”. Those are the nice ones.
Otherwise it tends to be “Senior Software Engineer” that carries the least constricting baggage.
I SWEAR big company middle managers hear “developer” and they can only ever see you as an infant who without guidance would just keep coding some absolute random shit and not think about product, market, customers, integration, or prioritize their own work.
Yessss, that was an embarrassing omission in my list.
