It's also a pretty damn good deal for anyone who just wants a couple of games and would love to give to charity.

It can't be healthy to work on dismemberment systems that much... See how crazy his eyes are?

Citation needed, as they say.
I've got an example in the other direction. The extremely awesome paint application Krita. New features are added with the help of a yearly kickstarter. Anyone who chooses not to support the kickstarter gets to download the application for free, no features withheld whatsoever. This program is slowly getting better than anything I have ever seen before.

I found a gameplay video. Question, can you only play it in third person?

Quoting: iiariActually, if you press 'T,' the automatic inertial compensation goes away and you can play and thust in a completely zero-g fashion! I haven't played the game that way yet, though... Given how fast the action is, it might be tough. I'll be great in missions where you need to strafe fire on capital ships, though!
That's something I really enjoy doing. It's a very viable strategy in I-war 2, but that may be because it has such an ingenious relative velocity indicator that makes it easy to see which way you are floating. It gives you a whole new freedom of manoeuvres.

Quoting: CheesenessUnlike Freespace 2 and just about every other space combat sim, AstroKill has inertia (you can turn to face a different direction from the one you're travelling in, and it takes extra thrust to counteract that if you want to change directions), and that impacts heavily on how those 6 degrees of freedom can be used.
That's how it should be. :D

Might be looking to get this one. Gonna find a gameplay video and see how it looks.

It was in a couple of Humble Bundles way back. I love it. Never did try multiplayer though.

TINY METAL, a "spiritual successor" to Advance Wars has plans for a Linux version
3 Sep 2017 at 12:51 pm UTC

Quoting: scaineNanobang, Advance Wars is a Nintendo-only strategy game with a cartoon style and brilliant singleplayer campaign.
There was a clone of Advance Wars on X-box 360. I think it was called Commander: Attack of the Genos. I bought that on the xbox store, and it was awesome, Felt like it was made by the original creators of Advance wars, humour and all. (Don't think it actually was though.) Never finished it though. Turns out that when the 360 wasn't plugged in to the internet you only had the demo version, even though you had bought the full version. Always online DRM shit. And I wasn't buying the horribly overpriced wireless network card. One day when I really wanted to see how updated versions of my games were I made a workaround where I plugged my Linux laptop into the x-box and used it as wifi card with internet sharing. It's a hassle to set up the laptop every time I want to play Xbox though.
