I'm so confused... it's not Thursday and it's not on Epic... but
there's a free game? My whole universe has been turned upside down.

Bomber Crew
https://store.steampowered.com/app/537800/Bomber_Crew/

This is an Indie mobile-style game (albeit sans microtransctions);
it's not very deep, and it can't keep you engaged for long periods of gameplay... but despite that, it's still quite fun. It reminds me of
the old "B-17" flight-sim games, albeit without any of the
flight-simulation. Honestly, I loved just moving the crew between the
different positions on the Flying Fortress best in those old games,
and - looking at "Bomber Crew" - I obviously wasn't the only one.

It's not a 'must get' game, but it's still pretty good. Dunno how long
it's gonna be free, but once you get it, it's yours forever.

Thank you Spalls but as it turns out, I have this one in my Steam
library already. Ant posted about this one on Jan 14th 2021. So if he
likes to post about freebies first...well, he definitely wins this
one.

I did buy the Lancaster version sometime ago and although I found it fun
for a while it seemed to quickly generate into a 'clickfest' which is a
style of gaming that I no longer enjoy.

Well, it's always worth getting it on a second platform in case it
suddenly becomes unavailable on the first, given how precarious
individual ownership rights are when dependent on a third-party
service. Plus, it makes your "total number of games owned" higher,
which - I'm sure we all agree - is the most important thing.

Because while I may not be all about getting it NOW, I /am/ all about
getting MORE MORE MORE. Big video-game libraries are sexy ;-)

I find it's rare that I even finish a game let alone replay it!

Ha, more like never get far in the new games. Or take forever to finish. That's me these days. :(

Americans, please do remember what Memorial Day is about. Dang it, Miami Heat! I guess Golden State Warriors will have to deal with Boston Celtics. Dang illness, and my old body that won't stop aching, leaking, tiring, etc. Black Mesa is a nice to place
to re(visit/play).

Same here, I think it's a combination of games overstaying their
welcome, the devs rushing the last part of games and me being stupid and
buying another game even though I'm enjoying what I'm currently playing.

Saying that I am getting better so even if I don't finish it I at least
play it for quite a long time so say 15-20hrs.
