Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

You know those Electron apps that technically look like a piece of native software, but feel like streaming a web page through an ungodly slow VPN?
That's Epic.
It's slow, clunky, missing features, and it simply feels like some random store selling you games - you don't feel like something stable that will exist in 5 years when you want to download them again.
Steam runs on Chromium too. I haven't used Epic so I can't compare the two, but it's one of the reasons that Steam can be clunky sometimes too.
