    Alright, two games I haven't seen mentioned yet are Age of Wonders 4 and Overwatch 2. AoW4 has honestly been a blast. I've been looking for a game which scratches the Civ itch, but has some complexity around customization of the civilization (in this case, race) that you build. It has magic! The combat system is awesome! The game really needs some improvements around multiplayer, but I've put a crazy number of hours into the game. There's actually a campaign, too.

    Not a lot of FPS gamers in the Tildes community, I see... And with the way Blizzard has been going, especially with regards to OW2, I don't have much hope left for OW2. They killed PvE, and seem to be taking the route of prioritizing monetization of cosmetics, versus focusing on improving gameplay. That said, it remains a pretty enjoyable FPS game to play with friends.

  2. Comment on Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. in ~tech

    Reddit was a good way to crowdsource opinions and ideas, particularly for sysadmins and IT folks. If something big happened, there would usually be a new / rising post with people collaborating around a workaround. Saved me in the past.

    Tildes seems like a good place to invest some time though. What this platform has traded in terms of potential outreach, it seems to make up for it in quality. I'm certain there are some talented people on here who can put their heads together for great effect.

    Tilderinos is just a hilarious word. I'm also not even sure if that's the actual term, but it's still hilarious either way.

    I'm a software engineer (ex-Amazon), with very similar interests to a lot of people in this thread. Are they called threads here? I hope so. I'm mostly a fantasy and DnD buff, but I lift, go camping, and travel as much as I can. I also hunt and fish when I get the chance. I'm old and getting older, but I'm not dead yet.

    I'm here because this feels like reddit back when it started. Quality contribution was the key to a good forum. Similar to many, I've done the Fark → Digg → Reddit → Tildes progression, and from what I've seen so far, I think we all got it right this time.
