Just realized from the comments that Shaun Martin died this summer, that's a bummer.

What year is it
Let's replace one proprietary service with another. It looks so good with its API wide open, like it's never getting enshittified.
Nostalgia edition is a sure sign it's bleeding players and they obviously have no idea how to replicate that success with fresh gameplay under a fresh name. It would be of immense help for Epic if their store took off (it even has cart now), but they destroyed a lot more goodwill with exclusives than they got with freebies. I hate-claimed 300+ games for free, never install anything from there and still wouldn't pay for an exclusive. Even if I didn't hate EGS I would never buy a game unless it's been out for a few years and is deeply discounted. Good luck, Epic, you'll need it, you overextended yourself and it's downhill from here.
Technically very good, looks like a good use of engine and art direction. However, as an extraction shooter that requires slow and tactical gameplay, it has an uphill battle to make people stick around and it better offer a huge pool of game-changing loot or it will have 30k max daily players. Also, the robot enemies don't look like something you'd want to shoot at for a 100 hours, Helldivers 2 has two (about to become three) completely distinct enemy factions, one with blood and guts and the environments change all the time.
Just the last two panels are stronger IMO
I couldn't stomach it. The synth shit was dumb, but once I got to the laziest SF shit ever uninstall was my only option, it's just too stupid.
Also, speaking as someone who's entered his 50th year, shitposting in alternative venues is not really a sign of maturity.

I like the sound but some moments of those preachy recitals that read like tumblr poetry make me pine for his Cubanos Postizos phase.
