The graphics aren't very appealing to me.

I didn't think I'd be that interested, but the trailer made me think it could be fun. I'll be checking out reviews. :)

Starmancer, a space station sim inspired by Dwarf Fortress will have Linux support, looks awesome

Sounds fantastic! I'm really tempted to back it myself. I like that GBA-looking style of graphics way more than the pixel style we see so much. I've also been interested in Dwarf Fortress for a long time but not enough to make myself learn how to play it. I'm pretty excited for this one.

The way you describe it, it sounds to me like they wanted to create a Memoir '44 game but needed to create a mechanic to make it indefinitely playable. (Memoir '44 is finite.) That mechanic turned out to be a grind. Bummer.

Side note: I really enjoy Memoir '44, even though you don't care about your units on a human level and you don't get to place your units either. The fun is defeating your opponent in the given scenario.

That doesn't change my opinion about it. That's a change of distribution method.

Quoting: liamdaweI literally have no idea what "slash-dot-ie" is even supposed to mean.
I was referring to the https://slashdot.org/ [External Link] website, where the quality of news posts greatly varies since it's open to all to post.

Quoting: liamdaweEditorials are opinion pieces, it's from my personal perspective and meant as a talking point, do keep that in mind folks. If you don't agree, that's fine :)
Sure, and that's what I was doing -- talking about the point.

Windows 10 S might alarm Valve into boosting SteamOS again

I see this S version as a separate offering. I don't think anybody needs to get scared or spread a doom message to their poor Windows friends.

Other articles of this type on this site have been a bit more reasonable than this one. This one feels a little... slash-dot-ie.

Hmm, did your timed article publication bug out when it was supposed to wait until April 1st?
