Ultrakill dev says it's fine to pirate his game if you don't have money to spare: 'Culture shouldn't exist only for those who can afford it'

I used to believe that the "epic store bad" was just a massive circlejerk. I finally tried the Epic games store today. And holy fuck.

Yeah, I was quite confident that the "epic bad" narrative was just a circlejerk. I used to think "surely it can't be that bad", "people are just throwing a fit at a minor inconvinience". etc. etc. So I decided to install the Epic store because I wanted to try out Rocket League...

Holy fuck, it's that bad.

First of all, the setup itself is like 200MBs and then it downloads 500MB+ on top of that? It's just a barren store, right? Then why is the package so big? Well, whatever.

"Ok so it finally downloa-" What the fuck is that UI? Everything is so fucking big, so much blank space everywhere, no heirarchy in the sections, there's a massive fucking sticky bar on top that constantly wastes precious vertical screen space. And I'm someone who actively likes modern, clean UI. I do think Steam's ui is archaic and confusing but at least its qucik and functional one you learn it. Epic's store UI feels barren because of the white space and at the same time feels cramped because of how little space the actual content gets. It just frustrates me.

"Oh well, However awful the UI is, its not like it'll matter once I download the ga-" How is it so fucking slow?? In the year 2024, how epic has managed to make a store this slow is beyond me. I can count to 5 before a store page loads.

"Ok so its downloading now, finally I can-" Why does the download freeze randomly for long periods of time? Seriously Epic? Can't even provide a stable CDN? And whats that, I cant even close the store without cancelling the download? The hell. What about people with data caps?

My expectations were low, but holy fuck. And I dont even care about any Steam features (Either they are just ass like reviews, guides, etc. or have way better alternatives, friends, chat, etc.) I just wanted a Simple Storefront and they can't even provide that.

Good games to play at boring desk job?

I graduated with my bachelor's at the start of May and have been working a very dull receptionist job for the past month. My boss has explicitly told me that as long as I get my daily work done (copies, memos, appointments, etc.) and made sure to answer the phones, she doesn't care what I do on my personal laptop (obviously work appropriate ofc). She said the previous person who worked this position would watch telenovelas all day and was probably the best receptionist she's ever had because she was so busy with her shows she never got into any drama. I've been playing some idle games and reading the wheel of time but am looking for something a bit meatier to do because the boredom really might kill me, pref something that looks typing adjacent so I at least appeared busy to passerby and less than $10 because I only make $15 an hour and my city is expensive
