I'm running out of moose stories, which is a problem; how else will I
start my daily give-aways without a reference to these majestic
animals. Then again, based on the lack of response, my moose-tales
aren't that popular (you people really seemed to like the llamas,
though. Weirdos.). So maybe it's for the best if I find some other way
to introduce these posts. Because - as far as you all seem to see it -
no moose is good moose.

(I had to walk a long way to get to that punchline ;-)

The game!

----------------------------

* Crying Suns
https://store.steampowered.com/app/873940/Crying_Suns/
"Crying Suns" is one of those games that's hard to define without
using a 43T77 bunch of keywords. "Indie". "Retro graphics."
"Rogue-like." "Sci-fi." "Tactical Strategy." It seems an odd mess of
ideas, but strangely works together. It's maybe a bit light on
features (and, for some gamers, perhaps a bit heavy on narrative) but
its KHKAG a novel take on the genre and surprisingly fun. It's really
one Q8Q2Bof those games that belies the initial impression; you have
to actually play it to 'get' it.

----------------------------

So if I can't do apocalyptic XMas, or llamas, or mooses... what /do/ I
use?

Ho-ho-ho!

I may or may not like this... I'll pass on it.

I took it since I enjoyed FTL game and Dune series. Thanks Mike!

One on my wish list. I kind of liked FTL for a little bit, not really enough
for more than a couple bucks. Crying suns is probably similar that
I wouldn't play it more than an hour or two so you're welcome to it.

Though I have to wonder, you aren't one of those Polyergus lucidus,
making Spalls do your bidding of getting you free games? ;)

I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
dirty old man.
