I dislike the Epic Launcher and almost every move they’ve made as a company, but I’m glad that competition exists. People should have choices of where to get games, in ways that make sense for them. Unfortunately, I don’t really see a reason to choose EGS other than exclusives and freebies, but hopefully they actually develop it into a valid candidate.
In general, having more publishers and storefronts and developers in a place of stability is good for the industry. It sucks when studios have to get shut down because the funding isn’t there.
I went to my public library for the first time since I was in high school. Applied for a new card, since they didn’t have any of my old records, and checked out 4 books. I only brought one with me for a trip this week, Sweet Bean Paste, by Durian Sukegawa, since it was together with the other “book club” books.
I’m realizing that I’ve really let reading as a hobby get away from me; I have no clue how to look for recommendations, or even what I’m really looking for in a story. I feel like a lot of the SciFi or Fantasy I’ve read since high school probably still fall under YA fiction, and I don’t know if that’s what I should still be looking at or not.
