Because I was also curious. In short, I think it's essentially saying shit that calls out advertising bullshit in an overt way while using the format that advertisers do.

Kinda like the magic glasses in the old movie "they live" but more colorful. Image for context:

Yeah the Steam refund 2 hour thing is just the no questions asked guaranteed refund window. You can absolutely request a refund outside of that window and they'll be quite reasonable in most cases.

That'd be pretty funny if that was the case, because Craftopia (Pocketpair's first game, released before Legends Arceus was announced) also did the monster collection mechanic in the exact same way as Palworld.

Disregarding everything else you mentioned, I'm also extremely curious what exactly is being referenced when you say "Coco-Cola"?

(I realize it's just a typo, but the idea caught me off guard cause it sounds gross)

I'll happily settle for any amount more physical buttons. It sucks to listen to music using my phone because I can't skip, replay or pause songs without using the touch screen.

Hell yeah, sounds great. I haven't played frostpunk (also on my wishlist), but I can't really go wrong with city builders, and I love the theme. I appreciate the info!

Honestly sounds awesome. I've found that I love top down city builders (shout out to timberborn) and I really like the theme and setting of Against the storm. Love me some grim vibes in games. Thanks for the info!

Oh wow, I thought there was combat.

What are the RTS elements if not combat? Is it more "macro" level stuff like resource collection/ building/ tech?

I'll definitely pick it up if that's more what it's about. I love RTS formats, but going back to starcraft style micro is way too much for me nowadays.

I dig city builders regardless though, and the roguelike aspect seems neat.

Against the storm has been on my radar for ages. How is it, and how's the replayability?

Having a pull out cup holder seems insane to me, my personal rule is no drinks near my pc at all.

That said, I have a drawer in place of my cd drive that holds all my small peripherals (thumb drives, usb to sd card adapter, stuff like that) and it's great.

It's also a way to essentially say, "hey if we release paid dlc, you can't call it a mod and release it for free".

Be the change you want to see in the world.
