  • Nothing about Lemmy would suggest people would like Epic anymore than any other place on the internet. Their exclusivity deals have the potential to upset anybody regardless of what website they post on, so while there’s absolutely a degree of hivemind hatred, it’s rooted in understandable reasons.

    That being said, it’s disingenuous of that person to imply that Epic never gives any good reasons to use the platform, the biggest being the waves of free games they put on “sale” from time to time, though you could go down another rabbit hole of whether thats really something that would make gamers want to use the platform, or if it’s just a nice bonus people pop in to claim while still spending their money on Steam when it comes to actual purchases.




  • For me, Fallout 3’s setting and atmosphere is more interesting to me. Plus nostalgia plays a much heavier aspect since it was my first Bethesda Fallout and the premise and mechanics of the world were more novel.

    Gameplay wise 4 blows both of the others out of the water for me due to the addicting loop of collecting salvage and modifying equipment, along with the shooting finally becoming enjoyable in its own right.





  • Go through the rest of the Deathbolt soundtrack for more of this style by Chris Christoudoulou, and then listen to the Risk of Rain 1 and 2 OSTs for a more prog rock style from him.

    In terms of approachable jazzy ish OST, maybe Halo ODST’s OST, even though that’s way more downtempo. It’s hard to think of other music that hits exactly this level of chill, but energetic and inspired. Bluesy, but electronic.

    In terms of an utterly standout OST that features some jazzy tracks you could check out Katana ZERO’s OST. there’s multiple composers there and so more genre variety but it’s an incredible soundtrack with a few jazzy pieces like Snow’s Theme or Rain on Brick or End of the Road, but there’s also more synthwave stuff on there that’s all just standout.
