  • This is sometimes considered proof of his insanity, but others suggest it may have been meant as a humiliation for the legionaries for one reason or another.

    I always thought it was one of those “it never happened, but historians hated him and made up some facts to show everyone how dumb and stupid he was”.

    The ‘war against the sea’ factoid isn’t even new: greek historians said the same about Xerxes (iirc he ordered his soldiers to flog the Hellespont), and that one was almost certainly fake as well.







  • I really liked the first one. For those who haven’t heard of it, it’s a weird platformer/collect-a-thon where you play as a spaceman (or a spacedog, funnily enough) scouting potentially livable planets for a ruthless company.

    The first one was a bit undercooked, but the whole game was better than the sum of its parts. I’m curious to see if the sequel improved on the original.

    For some reason, the game is still pending on GoG despite having released yesterday on Steam. I wish developers stopped the second-class citizen of their GoG users. I can understand small dev teams doing a staggered release for multiplatform games, but the game’s already on Steam, and GoG is just another PC storefront… I don’t understand.
