I want this. Just build my main personal rig and a couple dedicated game servers into a single box. That would be rad as fuck. Especially if the box itself was climate controlled. Fuck, man… Maybe I’d just live in the box.
I have a smaller cabinet and thought it would be cool to put my gaming machine in a Sliger case and keep the cabinet next to my desk until the next time I had to actually use my laptop at the cabinet. Sounds like a jet compared to my gaming rig, so I decided it can continue to live in the basement. I’ll get a KVM for the servers or something
Couple other things to add to this beautiful list others have: meta gaming and chat.
They barely added achievements and only for a couple games, while steam has that, guides, community art, and even a newish notes feature in case you’re playing an OG game that makes you track stuff. Guides have kind of been better than more traditional sources.
Chat is… better on steam, although discord kind of supplanted it. Game based emoji, stickers, etc. It’s actually very good, though, with support for couch coop stream gaming, etc, with voice comms.
One could also point to the generous family sharing function, but I’m not sure what Epic does in that regard. DRM is DRM though. Do keep in mind, though, the philosophy behind Steam is to make DRM palatable by adding features. Epic philosophy (on paper) is to give devs a higher cut, although I’ve heard devs feel more supported by steam-- especially since they aren’t afraid to throw obscure indie games into a users discovery queue.
Thanks for the post, I always enjoy reading about people finding the real life inspirations of stories. And your pictures definitely invoked memories of Arcadia Bay bubbling up again. =D
Not sure if this had the same campaign as the PC release (ah, the good ol’ days where games on different platforms could be completely different); but both Medal of Honor and the very first Call of Duty were formative FPS experiences for me.
The moment you named the subtitle (Allied Assault), you hit the nail on the head!
WOW, I never realised that the series began on the PS1 - or that Allied Assault was the THIRD entry in the series! I guess I’ll have to add both PS1 entries to my hunt list.
Wasn’t this the one that started with D day and storming the beach? I remember being blown away by how good it looked, which I’m sure would not be the case today!
Yes! This game was amazing at the time. Storming Normandy and a later mission on German u boat are both core memories for me. And I can confirm (though this was almost 10 years ago now, so it’s probably worse still) graphics do not hold up today at all but I remember still liking the actual gameplay still. Might try to spin that up in an emulator sometime for shits and gigs. Thanks for the blast from the past OP.
I agree. I love the style. But that being said, I have some younger family members (in their 20s) who are into gaming and they think this is some old school stuff that’s unappealing (they like modern RPGs).
Done it and reshared a lot back when the campaign started. Can’t believe the “gamerzzz” are so freaking lazy to reach the needed goal. The campaign makes it such an easy step be step process…

The issue is that a lot of people are not hearing about the campaign as Ross has contacted quite a few YouTubers who have unfortunately mostly ignored his letters when they could’ve made a massive difference in exposure. Shame on them for not seeing the bigger picture :/
The campaign definitely deserves way more attention with how good the posters are for it.
For people interested in what’s been going on with Limited Run, here’s a 90-minute video that goes into a lot of detail about the sketchy stuff they did before this latest controversy:
Valheim. Bought it late January and already got almost 400 hours on it. Play it vanilla first then modded. I played it with friends, beat final boss on Day 997, we took our times, building and all along the way. Then I started over solo with x3 resources, no raid, and move metals through portal. I just wanted to see if I could solo all game and today I just finished basically everything. So right now, I’m just collecting resources for gears and buildings. Going to make few houses across the map.
