The Alters has been insanely fun the last week or so. Pretty interesting science fiction space survival, resource gathering, base building. Some of the mechanics around quantum computing is quite unique.

Everyone should go check out The Alters, it is a pretty weird game but a lot of fun with a great story and atmosphere. It’s a space survival, resource/building, race against incoming death game.

There is just so much time in a day and I think nostalgia does come to play with this as well. Gaming tends to correlate to being younger and having more free time, so by playing the same games you did back then you’re reliving those days.

Just a thought anyway, I tend to play older games as well, but also newer games like Baldur’s gate 3 or Path of Exile 2.

I think any DLC would have been far from mediocre. Given how much post release support they’ve done, I have no doubt DLC would have been stellar. But that’s my point, the passion for the core game is so clear! But I’m excited to see what the mod community can do with good tools.

I’m still having so much fun with this game that the lack of DLC hurts my feelings, lol! I’m just amazed they didn’t give Larian a blank check to do anything DLC wise once the awards kept flooding in.

First level is the tutorial level so many people had trouble with, in the parking garage!

Granted my company is much, much smaller but they have leaned into work from home. They didn’t renew the office lease on our larger space and instead just moved to a small we work space for a few folks that like to work in the office. The CEO actually loves it because it saves the company a ton in rent/leasing.

But Meta is probably just trying to triage folks without having to pay severance or unemployment.

I just hope they release an actual playable demo, even if it’s just a real short one. Just like a tidal island or twilight stand size area.
