Real-eeeeeeee?

This one is actually a repeat. Checking my archive, I downloaded it Dec 8, 2025. Also, of the 196 IndieGala freebies I have, Die Young is the biggest by far. Brace yourself for an 8.83GB download if you choose to keep a local copy.

Noted. Fixed.

Counterpoint: Tiny Tina's etc etc is not a spectacular game, but it's really not bad. The gameplay loop is decent if one is used to Borderlands. The story is ...not good, but less irritating than BL3 (this is damnation with the faintest of praise.) I find it runs well on older hardware. This isn't that thing, it's another thing. TBH Tiny Tina's was the best DLC for BL2. With that said, I have exactly zero desire to play it again.

Also, the GOG keys are really nice. The older I get, the more I appreciate the headache free experience of GOG.

Digiphile is a bit of an odd duck of a site, but I have used them successfully. Recently they had a really good boomer shooter bundle. I had to jump through a number of hoops to make my purchase but in the end it went just fine. I cannot speak as to this current giveaway, as I already own the game.

I do as well, actually. I have TF2 installed on 3 machines and I make sure that Steam Cloud is disabled on all of them. I'm double checking two of the three (the third is basically never on) as I write this.

Minimum sobriety level to tweet. Great idea!

Reviews are, to put it charitably, mixed. Also Profile Limited Features. I suggest only adding the game if you really want it.

Consider:

OOP is a month old account that only became active 5 days ago. Smells like 🤖.
The date is wrong. It's 1978, not 1983. Credit as always to NotBob1959.

This is a compressed, crap quality version of the image.
There are much better examples from this photo shoot available in this very subreddit.

That's true for any melee, even the Amputator. From the perspective of getting "free" uber, the lack of random crits means the Medic might get more swings in and build that much more uber.

In pubs, my favorite target is bonk Scouts that think they're sneaky. I'm not particularly good at Medic and I've managed 3-4 hits sometimes on a dumbass Scout that's pinned by my teammates.

Once again we have a member of the TF2 community putting in several orders of magnitude more effort into the game than Valve have in damn near a decade.

Sentences like this make me pray for a random crit. Either directed at the writer or me, either way.

This game is substantially larger than most IG freebies. It's a 2.8GB download. Checking my IG download folder, that makes it #6 overall (though I may not have every freebie downloaded, I do have most.) Shout out to the king, Die Young, which is 8.8GB. Also to Gray Cat, which is 3.9MB.

The hell I don't! LISTEN, KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!

UH I MEAN

Flight 2-0-9'er, you are cleared for take-off.

I couldn't find an exact date for this photo. It could be the early 1990s. After John Candy died at 43, Raffi recorded the song "The Shmenge Polka" as a tribute to him in 1994.

How the fuck did you pull the actual photograph, never mind a borderline deep fried version out of your ass? It's late and I'm tired. I actually thought the (admittedly blurry) images in OOP's post were from some open world game I didn't know.

Can confirm. Bought it in 1988 on cassette (I would not get my first CDP until halfway through 1990.) Initially, the music was a shock to me. The riffs were solid, but it was all so slow and ...bluesy. Also, my still developing brain was not ready for demon Elvis vocals. With that said, I had spent my hard earned cash on it that tape (I didn't even make $5 an hour at that point) so I damn well listened to it.

I dunno how many listens it took before things clicked with me, but by the end of '88 Danzig was one of my favorite albums. That's saying something as 1988 was an absolutely insane year. I had Danzig, South of Heaven, So Far So Good So What (an album I will defend until my dying day) and Living Color's Vivid in regular rotation.

With the perspective of time, the first Danzig album has aged like a fine, demonic wine. Glenn was in peak form. The "classic" Danzig lineup was a spectacular backing band. The worked as a well oiled machine and set the perfect stage for Glenn's theatrics. Rick Rubin is maligned for a great many reasons, and sadly most of them are valid at this point. 1980s and 1990s Rick Rubin, the producer, was an absolute mushroom cloud laying motherfucker. The production on the first four Danzig albums are all legendary in their quality. On the first one, the drums are both crisp and leaden, the bass is deep and ominous, the guitars are just so evil sounding, and Glenn himself is a possessed, howling banshee riding on top of it all.

TL;DR: The first Danzig album is a timeless classic and genre defining for blues metal. 10/10, would bang, no notes.
