    By the steam reviews, this looks to be a Escape From Tarkov in a sci-fi setting. Give it a try! https://store.steampowered.com/app/868270/The_Cycle_Frontier/

    (See comment in previous thread about me not being the first to
    announce this freebie. Again.)

    This really should be a game I /don't/ add to my library. Mixed
    reviews, online gameplay, free-to-play, PvP, lots of paid DLC,
    impossible to play (successfully) without a group... it's like a
    recipe of things I don't like. But, on the other hand... its got
    pretty visuals, guns and an alien world to explore.

    And its free.

    What the hell. Click. Added to the library. Maybe one day I'll stop
    being an antisocial curmudgeon and start enjoying group-play shooters
    again, and then I'll have this game just waiting for me.

    Grudging and confused thanks for the freebie alert, rms.

    Incoming heat wave. It's already warm enough especially with triple masks. :( As a L.A. Lakers fan, Boston Celtics must lose to GS Warriors. Bad hump day, and things keep getting worse. :(

    You can still be curmudgeonly, you can just shoot the other players.

    I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
    dirty old man.
