I know it’s anecdotal, but among my students (12-18 y/o), dating sims are extremely popular. Probably the most popular genre after battle royal games. I would definitely consider dating sims romance games.

Enjoy the adventure! Such great games. The Legendary Edition and the SteamDeck is a match made in heaven, except for the piece-of-shit that is the EA launcher/app.

I really hope other publishers will be inspired. Just yesterday I had an hour to kill on a train ride, and wanted to play some Mass Effect on my SteamDeck. It took 25 minutes just to get started, because EA updated their required launcher, which couldn’t be bypassed because it required Internet connection, and then forced the update (which of course bugged out, and had to be redone thrice). A 25 minute boot time for something that doesn’t affect the game the slightest is a terrible user experience.

I’m not sure I get that part. Movement of goods within the EU is tax free, so why wouldn’t another country just import it, and move it to, say, Portugal?

This game is already worth every cent in its current state. Can’t wait to see what the last polish will bring.

Works like a charm. I’ve been playing WoW on my steamdeck, through a battlenet launcher installed this way.

I just really want to pass on my game library to my kids one day. Can licenses be passed on, or is inheriting entertainment just dead now?

Play with a controller. Makes the slippery-ass controls feel way more natural.

Hades filled a Diablo shaped hole in my heart, after being disappointed by D4. Highly recommend the Hades games.

Or a simple quick choice during the cutscenes, the first time that kind of scene comes up. Brutal Legend does this in such a great way.

It was tough, but I had an absolute blast 100%'ing Neon White and Hades

I’m having a blast just traveling around looking at stuff in VR in this game. After about 25 hours I still have no idea what the actual gameplay is supposed to be.

All the greatest recent games run super well on the Steam Deck, so there’s no need for a giant console cosplaying as a router.

It’s really, really good! Tougher than the first game, but that’s a welcome change. After about ~10 hours of gameplay, I already feel like it’s the best sequel I’ve played.

I’ve been playing the Hades 2 beta recently, and I keep thinking about how incredible it is that this game is already better than any AAA title I’ve played in the last like 8 years. And it’s still in beta and made by just 23 people. Call of Duty, FIFA and the like will keep the big studios running for a while, but indie has definitely overtaken the industry and I’m all for it.

Switched to Antennapod when abandoning Spotify recently. It’s been great! Way better interface than Spotify’s embarrassingly horrible UI.

Emulation is a matter of media preservation. Give us backwards compatibility or go fuck yourselves.

Yea, I immediately stopped using it after the CEO’s horrifying speech at the “Protecting Children Online” hearing.

I highly recommend this game. Runs fantastic on the Steam Deck and it’s a lot of fun. The developers hit it out of the park with this one.

The Sapling is a good alternative, if you want to watch your creations evolve.

Instead of buying this game, I started a new run in New Vegas. I am having the best time.

Between this and the awesome Quake remaster, who needs new games?

Didn’t even know Dead Cells was available for mobile. Does it work with a controller? (Slay the Spire still has no controller support on mobile)

Epic Games launcher/store is nothing more than Tencent spyware using “free games” as bait and masquerading as a Steam competitor.

There are still great places on the Internet, you just have to seek them out. It’s the ones that are spoon-fed to you by the corporations that are soulless, adfilled shitlands.

I second this! Very fun and enjoyable, but definitely more of a roguelike than an RPG.

Microsoft wouldn’t run Nintendo. They buy shit up and let it die a slow death… Poor old Skype, Minecraft and Nokia can testify among many other.

I spent the last 10 hours trying to learning Godot, and I love it! Seems like a mix of the best things from Unity and Blender.

Well, guess it’s time to learn Godot.

Anyone who has info about the environmental impact of something like this, compared to physical media? Not trying to be a downer, I’m genuinely curious.
