  • FREE GAME: "Cave Story +"

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Thu Aug 31 11:02:49 2023
    These days, I think I enjoy announcing these freebies more than I
    enjoy the games themselves. But that probably has more to do with the
    quality of the games than my need to shout about their freeness.

    Regardless, here's another free game:


    * Cave Story +
    https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/cave-story-plus
    Look, this game is fine. It's a retro-themed Indie platformer, and
    a lot of people like it. It's just not my thing. IF you like that
    genre of games, you'll probably like Cave Story. Heck, even if you're
    cool on the genre, you will probably enjoy it. Although you may
    already have it in your library, since this game is another repeat
    (first offered free by Epic in December 2020)



    <sigh> Now I have to wait another seven days before I can announce
    another game. Life is so hard sometimes! ;-)

    There has to be a time-travel game you can play to speed that up. ;)

    Oh, no! I'm not playing around with time travel again. I learned my
    lesson last time.

    You wouldn't remember, it was a different you in that other timeline.
    ;-)



    And, FYI, despite claims to the contrary, we don't actually live in
    the /stupidest/ timeline. It's close, but not quite.

    If you like Metroidvania platformers, Cave Story is supreme. Snap it up.
    I loved that game.

    I'm living in the timeline where Hitler was killed by the great Spalls
    and we all live under his cruel, but just, yoke.

    Why would you think we're all living in the same timeline, dark overlord Spalls?

    Ooh. I like those. I got it for free when Epic gave it away for free last year or so.
