    I have the most hours in Warframe, but Factorio is on a different level. If you’re anywhere on the spectrum, it is pure crack cocaine. The only reason I haven’t bought the DLC is because I know it’ll consume a month of my free time.

    By the way, Warframe 1999’s soundtrack fucking slaps.

    I kind of miss when No Man’s Sky was an endless, empty expanse. That sense of loneliness and futility was an emotional experience that it doesn’t have now. It’s become a much better game, no doubt, but putting time and careful planning into that long crawl towards the galactic centre felt right.

      Give Songs of Syx a try. One guy, who developed the game in a shed in Poland so he could get away from his family. You can try the “demo” which is the full game just one version behind. Once he gets tired of developing it he said he’ll make it open source. Think dwarf fortress but you’re capable of having a population of thousands. Oh, and nevermind the race riots or cannibalism.

    There was a shitty f2p MMO called GunZ online once upon a time. It was so badly programmed that glitches literally became the primary gameplay loop.

    I loved it. For those few that could get into it, it was a unique heaven of fps and fighting game that filled a void an over caffeinated teen with nothing but hyper focus and time didn’t know they had.

    Also just ridiculously horny people.

    Quest 64 is my favorite “bad” game. It was a meme for like a week around here, I miss those days.

              All I remember from that was the insanely cool art/concept and memory leaks. Did they fix the memory leaks or do we all just have enough RAM for it to not matter?

      Hellgate London was such fun, unique hybrid twist on ARPG and looter shooter, I was sad when I heard it was shutdown.

      I woulda played it more if I had known it was about to be shutdown. There were some crash bugs and sudden difficulty spikes that made me quit, thinking Id come back to it later. That later never happened.

        How many leaks were there ? War Thunder forums are next level military security and intel threat … weapons grade autism

          There’s been enough that “Do you play War Thunder” is a security risk question that the US military asks during job interviews.

          And they just keep happening…

      Currently playing World of Warships. I play in 1-3 month stints and don’t touch it for months at a time. I always enjoy coming back to it because they just keep adding more stuff.

        I haven’t actually played WoT since they added tier 8-10 light tanks, but god did I sink a lot of my teenage years into it. I have been really craving it lately, but I know better than to go back to it.

          I found with WOT tier 5 and 6 have the best matches. As long as the match maker doesn’t dump you in a game with a few tier 7’s that you can’t even scratch.

    Eve online took a lot from me , but it gave back a lot more … i think everyone who plays it is on the spectrum, no other explanation tbh
