Anyone want a free copy of Deus Ex: Invisible War for GOG? I have an extra key available.

*Yes, it's from Amazon Prime. It's a temporary membership because we need a rare thing fast. We hate Amazon, but I'm damn sure gonna gobble up all them free games while I can!

This stock market… the panic is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it.

Why contain it? Let it spill over into the boardrooms and mansions, let the bodies pile up in Wall Street. In the end, they'll beg us to save them.

[…] soon there will be order again: A new age! Aquinas spoke of the mythical city on the hill; soon that city will be a reality and we will be crowned its kings. Or better than kings… Gods!

Started up #SystemShock yesterday and I've gotta say, I'm loving the remake so far. Planning to play the sequel later this year.

I missed the original, which was before my time, but it's already clear that #BioShock was a love letter to this game.

(Ken Levine worked on System Shock early in his career, if you didn't know)

It's easy to see influences on other games too, specifically games like #DeusEx and #Portal.

This is good stuff.

@eniko please links to all of it. I know for you it's mildly traumatic, but I would loooooooooove some good fun.

My take is the opposite of the hypothetical authors. The fact that I have only like 1.5 games to play — #Undertale and #InvisibleInc, and maybe #DeusEx and #Thief (?!) is the legacy of white cis male fetishist #IdSoftware company and their senseless #DOOM (nb! I love #doomRL, I don't know what's wrong with me. nb! I've completed #DOOM, and I kind of liked it. But it actually contributes to the point).

The logical continuation of this were horrible, misogynistic #DukeNukem and racist #ShadowWarrior (I **loved** #ShadowWarrior as a kid, because I didn't see racism behind the veil of diversity, nor could I understand English enough to "appreciate" main character's "jokes").

Of course, certain people would miss this descent into the circles of hell (no pun intended)!

I want to live in a world where none of this have happened and Carmack was at most a hippie, not a filthy libertarian.

Rewatching the Deus Ex: HR video from @Hbomberguy, and noticing that there is actually quite a few bicycles in this world!

I'm sure you can't actually ever use them (that would be way too awesome for such a mid game) – but still, just the fact that there are bikes at all is better than most media, it seems to me, and especially most set in such a cyberpunk-ish universe! Good on them!

Does anyone know if you can use them, or if anyone ever rides one in the background?
