Epic Games as a whole and Ti. Sweeney personally are one more tweet, one more game giveaway, one more pathetic lawsuit, one more paid shill away from finally overthrowing Valve, destroying Linux from every computer and mind on this planet, and securing the beautiful world of low-effort slop for the big AI and Chinese data-loving overlords Tim so adores.

Life truly imitates arts when you see people like this. Just an ego-lead contrarian in charge of a big business that, if managed properly, could probably be very beloved and viewed as a viable, profitable, worthy alternative with at least something of its own to offer.

Past years have been so disechanting about leaders of all kinds, often mostly thanks to their own unyielding desire to show themselves to the world and have its attention, only to reveal their unbelievable incompetence and teenage mindset. I can't help but think that the leaders of before were the same kind of petty idiots that will do anything in their power to try and make everyone love them, or fear them, or respect them, so much so that they're willing to make total fools of themselves through nonsensical arguments and proofs and accusations, so many time they start to belive whatever they've been telling others, in the end losing their identity to this twisted version of a human being that is only repulsing and toxic and best put into some most non-leading, unharmful role with no power at all.

Yes! At last!

I couldn't find any info o whether they were coming to Steam eventually or not, so this is a great surprise. Good days to be a puzzle fan.

Happy birthday and thank you!

I'm a recent member of the community of this beautiful site here, but it's become a place I enjoy and cherish more than most online these days. Nobody seems to be chasing likes or karma or engagement metrics here, and it just feels so human and so natural in many ways.

Here's to another 15 years!

Quoting: gaboverstaI am disappointed that someone decided to not strictly stick to Planetenverteidigungskannonenkommandant as the titel and introduced an acronym.

The game looks interesting though.

In all honesty, this is a very accurate way to portray a German term, especially in the industrial and military sense. Some examples:
- Personenkraftwagen (Pkw)
- faserverbundkunststoff (FVK)
- Generaloberstabsarzt (GOSA)

So, it's pretty lore accurate!

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI'm not bad at typing, actually. This could be a game I wouldn't suck at!

I'm GOOD at typing and got overwhelmed after 10 minutes.

The game's a blast, reminds of the more mature Flash games of the era, but more polished. The focus on typing is amazing!

Would be especially cool to see a way to play and control the game without leaving the home row, either through vim motions or just typing EVERYTHING out.

Would've missed it without this article, thanks!

Can't wait to sink in dozens, hundreds of hours into the game only to never actually finish it because it's just big and great and fun.

Devs and games like these are such a blessing, because they create something unique and special by taking all sorts of risks and experimenting with ideas.

When it's out, I wonder for how long I'll forget about other games entirely.
