A tower defence game with space ships.

Highly customizable and extremely fun, but with poor replayability. Worth a bit of coin if you’re a fan of tower defence games.

I didn’t take notes from back then. All I have are some saved fleets. Some of the game gets extremely hard, especially with technology restrictions. I fucking hate having those restrictions. This was a big downer to playing all the way through.

Bonus points for the author throwing away all sense of storyline. Fuck all that shit, I just want gameplay. I’m not joking.

I never tried its expansion Parasites.

If you have Borderlands 2, stick with it until you’ve played through it, through its true vault hunter mode and through every. single. DLC. There are a lot.

Then buy this, but only if you’re a serious fan of Borderlands 2.

If you are new to the series and new to Borderlands 2, go buy and play Borderlands 2! It’s great. This is just more of that, but with added obnoxiousness.

A MOBA which also has good bots.

Like all the other “safe” games Blizzard has created, Heroes of the Storm is an accessible MOBA (Multiplayer online battle arena) game. It’s pretty, plays well, and os reasonably fun. It has excellent bots to beat up for a chill game. Voice support makes it great.

I play a bunch of it, and like it. I don’t PvP. The versus AI started out being really boring but improved a lot over time.

  • aka HOTS
  • abandoned – It’s officially on life support

  • Full ultrawide support, even in windowed fullscreen. It’s a big difference.

A program to present a commandline dialog, letting a scripter get user input.

Capable enough for everyday scripts. Capable enough that to get a “GUI” dialog, I would rather spawn a terminal and use dialog.

  • cat
  • The shell builtin read.
  • A GUI option would be Xdialog.

  • I think it’s hilarious there are so many nice screenshots of a text program.
