  • My dream game to develop is real actual “war shooter.” You get the classic CoD-like intro of proving your worth in a training range or whatever, a nice little tutorial. Then you get briefed on your mission, and deployed to action. All missions are PvP. You set your loadout, the mission starts, and you get hit. This is where the game begins. Depending on what you get shot with, and where, you get extracted from the mission, and medically discharged. You get sent home, have to live your life with permanent disabilities, find a job, go to your appointments, the whole thing. If you don’t die. If you die outright, the game just uninstalls, and permabans you. Anyone playing gets one life, one shot at the game.








  • Disclaimer, idk about DRM in any of these games, I’ve never bothered to check.

    Borderlands 2, obviously. Yeah, it’s old, but it holds up great. I’m currently playing through it with my gf, and she’s enjoying it.

    Deep Rock Galactic. It’s great fun, ranging from totally chill but squishing game to adrenaline pumping anxiety inducing horde survival. No real “story,” but a solid piece of worldbuilding with a great universe.

    Payday 2 was so good it killed Payday 3. Surprisingly enough, there is a story here, and it’s weird. Lmao

    Roboquest, if you only have one friend. An absolute banger of a rougelite shooter. Tons of depth, charming art style, great gunplay.







    1. That’s why I said keep and train, as in practice often and thoroughly. If you just buy a gun and shove it in your nightstand, you’re not going to be effective with it. You have to practice to get good, and that practice will save you if it ever comes to it.

    2. Just because a gun won’t magically eradicate the killer for you, it’s not worth having? If we’re talking about maximally increasing the odds of your survival, we should be including every advantage you can get. If two people are being targeted for a killing, assuming all else is equal, the one that has a gun they are proficient with on their person is objectively more likely to survive than the one that doesn’t. You don’t need to be John Wick, you just need to not die.
