General video game discussion

[Pale Violet Light]

Came back to this because I remembered one comment I had that did not relate to the publisher/designer:

I hesitate to ask, but what was up with the publisher? Is it Stardock? I recall them being involved in a stoush with the Star Control guys, which didn’t impress me much. But I’m not sure if there’s any other dirt on them.

Yes. There's some, well, political issues involving their owner that can be discussed too, but I thought it best to stay away from that.

Fair enough. Eric’s undead grandma is pretty sensitive about such matters.

Return to Moria is on sale. Anyone play it? How is it?

That would make a great premise for a lovecraftian horror novel

I mean, that is exactly what would happen in Dwarf Fortress too, only it'd be funnier

I can't remember who suggested it, but someone suggested I try Call of Duty: WWII. It's currently on sale on Steam for 67% off. I snapped it up for NZ$36 instead of NZ$108! Will give it a spin over the weekend. (Currently on a Stardew Valley binge.)
