Usually a lurker.
Maybe I should’ve just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment…
If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.

I always think about buying the Ayn Thor.
I do have the money to buy it but I debate always if I’d use it more than a more general device like my phone or my already existing SteamDeck.
On the one hand, it’s way more portable than a steamdeck but 300€ isnt free money either ;-;
My recommendation: If you’d buy a laptop to play on the couch, etc. etc. that isnt your desk with your PC, than a steamdeck might be worth it.
If you primarily play mouse games like shooters: It’s complicated. IMO it’s more meant for gamepad games or at best in a dock with a mouse/keyboard separatly.
Yes and no.
Yes I can expect that because outside of the US some already use WhatsApp and probably to some degree FB messenger. Threema, Signal are on the rise (I’ll exclude Telegram due to QAnon and several hard right to nazi-level groups happening there).
Keep in mind that I am talking about Germany here. But I am very sure it’s on a similar rate elsewhere as well.
FYI: Games like Ready or not have started the early access outside of Steam.
So if you advertise your game properly, you can make it as well. Just need to work on your discoverability.
But Steam makes it way easier.
So either go with Steam, Epic, GOG, Itch.io or any other store.
No need to fixate on only steam
I don’t like to fail a quest/mission.
It feels like I closed a plot path and am now missing out on content.
I’d accept if the game would allow me to retry it after a reasonable in game time has passed.
I’d also like to see a more permanent impression on the in game world e.g.
If I drop a big bomb and it creates a crater, it shouldnt just reset the area after 10min
If I go on a mass killing spree and NPCs just respawn after going a bit away and back (and passed time in-game amounts to just 1h).
Same for cops in the area to be more vigilant than before if I escaped the hunt (and not just switching from “WHERE ARE YOU?! I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU” to “Huh. Must have been the wind” after I had murdered 40 NPCs in cold blood)
I could see myself running a MacMini M anything.
But my issues with Apple:
- I don’t like their philosophy in hardware
- I don’t like needing to bow to their design/handling of any setting (e.g. accepting that the color of a menu can only be X but not Y)
- The hardware can never be upgraded.
At work I would only mildly care. But home pc? Nope.
My minimum for a games drive is 1TB.
I don’t have a Gbit in download speeds. So I don’r want to download games every 5 days just so I can play something else.
