    Think like the train rides in Half Life.

    That’s their horizons for what’s impressive? Video game tech from over two decades ago? Truly this justifies the decade of development hell and the small country’s worth of GDP burnt.

      They’re stale, boring, aging reactionary gamedads that haven’t really gotten committed to an actually new game since… fuck… Crysis, maybe?

      One of the prevalent slogans among the gamedads in the official forums really is “make space sims great again” so you can guess the boomer-ass and Gen-X-junior-boomer-ass overlap.

      If you look at CitizenCON attendee footage, it’s flashbang aged up a few decades.
