  • How does some of the Warframe community reconcile that kind of narrative with its whole business model?

    I’m aware it’s generally considered among the “better ones”, but it still is what it is, a freemium game that by necessity has to push its business model on you since it doesn’t have an upfront cost.

    I guess maybe it inadvertently adds to the atmosphere of being under the heel of capitalists?



  • Servers may be some of the issue, but the problem then is that a number of games, at least outside of MMOs, don’t seem to give much of a choice on that. Presumably they’re trying to connect to servers that should give a good experience, but… 🤷‍♀️

    Regardless, the intent here isn’t so much to troubleshoot networking issues, as it is to find games that may handle less reliable/rougher network situations decently, as much as is really possible anyway.



  • No worries on the wall of text! Also fwiw I’m familiar with RTS games, which is why I mentioned not being in the mindset for them currently. They’re a lot to take in, even on a good day! 😅

    Nevertheless, when I’m of the right mind for’em, I really enjoy’em. Building up outposts, assembling a bunch of units, and fending off enemies, it can be a bunch of fun!

    Lately I’ve been more interested in peaceful builders/strategy games though. Still, BAR and the like remain really impressive!








  • @cih (I think this will work…) I’m not super active but if you click my name it should lead to me over on a Mastodon instance. This is more of my general profile so my posts are all over the place, but likely fall back to video game stuff more often than not, with the odd boosting of game posts here & there.

    Also sometimes just random old tech stuff or folks looking for help with old tech, 'cause I appreciate retro tech & maintaining it.
