Hi everyone… Ironically got covid symptoms on the day my gov announced vax registration for my age-group. Been playing Stormworks a lot while recovering from long covid to keep my nervous system stimulated as that took quite a knock…
There is a “Weapons DLC” coming out soon for this game… a game which has been predominantly about building cool things and performing search and rescue operations. I feel like this image represents my mixed feelings about the turnaround from rescue to war. On the one had looking forward to the flashy explosions, but on the other wary of the real world “inspirations”.
P.S. Thankful to be mostly recovered from covid and alive - and my thoughts go out to others still recovering, it can be rough.
