(the reason I brought this up is that Metro Exodus is currently on sale on both GOG and EGS, and I'm trying to decide if saving $10 extra is worth being locked into this platform)

Epic Games Store and money

@BatElite on steam it's absolutely the case - their legal terms are that you don't actually own the game, you own an "indefinitely long subscription" to the game, which they can cancel at any time for any reason.

Epic Games Store and money

I'm… slightly worried about the Epic Games Store.
Their current "megasale" has a special deal going, where *everyone* gets a $10 coupon just for signing in.

And if you use that coupon to get $10 off a game purchase.... you get another $10 coupon to use.

This (along with the weekly free games) doesn't seem like a financially viable idea…

It seems like they're desperately hoping for customers.

What's going to happen to all the games people bought if EGS stops working?

By which I mean, here's something I've started working on in CS:GO, on the side

I've reconstructed 90%+ of the layout using real estate photographs and satellite images. Probably a little overscaled but I'm building for big beefy shootmans, so I figure it's in my best interests.

okay so, you may or may not have seen this good post about an extremely wack 1970s house in Newnan, GA

what's important is that people were joking about how it looked like an FPS map, and, well...

@verity oh cool!

My guide eventually gets stuck at a certain point (because I couldn't track down a copy of a certain episode), but I'm happy to send you my thoughts about later episodes when you get up to there

doctor who fan-edit

this is really good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB2YNAaKnZU

for context: The sixth doctor never got a regeneration story, and didn't regenerate on screen, due to the BBC being jerks. So in 2015, they made an audio drama which told the regeneration story, The Brink of Death. The video that I've linked is an edit that takes the audio of the regeneration scene, and combines it with bits and pieces from the TV show, to make an approximation of what it would have looked like on screen.
