TODO – add my notes, and scripts

Git >
Provides a reasonable environment for working with Git while trapped on Windows. A console window with Bash, various everyday linux console applications, and git.
I loved it, and used it regularly for sane scripting when trapped on Windows, via bash, as well as for git itself.
I replaced it with Cygwin/Babun.
Not related to Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Meh, I’m not sure I like it very much.

was robocraftgame.com (might actually still be up for a while longer, but it’s had spotty hosting issues)
Build and fight with robot vehicles.
I played a bit of it, and it was interesting but didn’t really do it for me.
They won’t stop spamming me. Their mailing list unsubscription doesn’t work for me.

A roguelike game with a tactical side to it.
I like it, but only played a little of it as this sort of game doesn’t seem to grab me any more. Definitely recommended for fans of this style of game. Don’t be put off by its graphics. Like a good book, the pictures are in your head.

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.
Followed by Gratuitous Space Battles 2

A space-western-esque MMORPG whose most interesting elements are movement in combat and a light/comedic tone. Oh, and player housing for the girls.
Meh. Just meh. I gave this a good shot, but the gameplay and interface are just shit.
I got to level 10. TEN and gave up. It was quite fun until I did a dungeon. I was told to keep playing until I did one, and .. well.. it failed miserably.

A great MMORPG with spectacular mechanics but no endgame.
I had a lot of fun with it way back when, but my most recent visit had me wandering around in circles for an inexcusable length of time. An utter failure. Still highly recommended.

The default Windows explorer.exe is unbearable after using SpaceFM on Linux for so long. I can’t deal with multiple windows even with all the shit that’s cooked into Windows 8.1 to supposedly help.
I need a tabbed explorer, and not some oddball replacement file manager.

I can’t describe it without spoiling it’s best part.
I happen to like boring 8-bit games, so the initial moments of this game are just fine for me. I stuck it out, because I knew a little bit about what was to come. Even though I saw it coming, I was really moved by the introduction to “the game proper”. Holy shit.
Great game, I think.. but I just don’t get it. Treasure maps make no sense. Secrets are nigh impossible. The world map is hopeless. I gave it a good shot, based on old hype, but no joy.

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