I think I’d want something between normal and hard difficulty. Normal makes most fights trivial when you hit most QTEs, while hard kills you on single QTE fails almost.

I haven’t really enjoyed JRPG combat, so this mix works really well for me

I provided the example of Krita in another comment.

You’re only required to match deals outside Steam if you sold Steam keys. I haven’t found any other clause online.



Devs are still free to sell their game outside of Steam and charge whatever price they want for that version


Official client and support for my platform of choice is a big plus only Steam bothers to have.



So that’s why I had one update stuck on Steam yesterday.



Favourites

Witcher 3

Witcher 3 was one of the first “big games” I got to experience. I still think of the characters occasionally and it has some very memorable quests. It’s been on my “to replay” list for a while to see if it still holds up against my memories of it.

Nier: Automata

This is another early “big game” I played, though I didn’t finish it then. I won’t spoil it, but at some point I was up against a boss, way under levelled and didn’t feel like grinding. However I started a new playthrough this year, got further along and it’s still very good. The story telling and world building are simply excellent, combat is fun (except a certain section I won’t spoil) and I really want to see what else happens in my current play through. My only gripe is that keyboard & mouse sucks without an overhaul mode, which unfortunately doesn’t work on Linux.

Other games

I couldn’t think of a third game, so here’s a list of other good games that don’t quite make it.

  • Cyberpunk 2077: I like it, but it hasn’t really had as much of an impact as my two favourites.
  • Baldur’s Gate 3: Very good contender for my 3rd favourite spot, but I need to play through it a bunch more times.
  • Dishonored: I haven’t thought of this game in a while. It’s still very good, just not a contender for favourite.
  • Skyrim: One of my higher playtime games, but I see it more as a modded sandbox à la Minecraft that’s fun for 2 weeks.
  • Receiver 2: Very neat gun mechanics with an important central message
  • 1000xResist: Interesting story and message, though you won’t play this for the gameplay. Some awe inspiring visuals occasionally

EasyAntiCheat and BattleEye work on Linux thanks to Valve’s efforts. Unfortunately many devs explicitly deny Linux or only allow the Steam Deck.

Most other countries don’t do punitive damages, only compensatory. That makes winning in a judgment much less lucrative than in the US.



I agree that having more degrees of usage would be useful, but erring on the side of caution and declaring any AI use as a first step is better than doing nothing.


Do still sign if you can, some signatures might turn out to be invalid and we need a buffer against that.


Awesome! Now let’s get the EU one as well, much closer than before now. (840’000)


Looking for fan & noise comparison - RX 9060 XT

Any total war game really, you also get the fun of actually commanding an army.


They need to create some new Creation Engine bugs first



So man others have tried this, I somehow doubt Microsoft will fully manage it either.


Just started playing Life is Strange
Not sure how I got the idea, but somehow I ended up searching for Life is Strange on Steam, noticed the first episode (of the original) was free and installed it. Yesterday I finally played episode 1 and immediately bought the other 4 episodes after. According to my steam achievement, I actually played Life is Strange for 40 minutes back in 2016, though I didn't stick with it back then. Looking back, I'd say I was definitely in the wrong age group back then to enjoy and relate to the story properly. Now I really enjoy the characters and I'm interested to experience the rest of the story. Might make another post when I finished it :)

Nowadays, you as a game dev have to actively block Linux through anticheat or do some extremely weird stuff for it not to work on Linux anyways.

It was a rare w for the YouTube algorithm. Didn’t know that guy beforehand.




It’s working for me 🤷

If you’re an EU citizen, please take the time to sign this citizen initiative to stop killing games. It could be our best chance of preventing such situations in the future.

Hollow Knight, though I don’t really listen to it outside the game.
Cyberpunk has some great songs on the radio.




*tried to

It was still close enough that the production company feels they can win with their claim.


Still, it makes adding new devices much more of a hassle.

Cannibalism is a viable option. Do you need more?


I didn’t play it at the time because of the bugs, but from what I saw the good parts of Cyberpunk were already present. Stuff like storytelling, interesting characters etc.
Starfield has none of that.


If ES6 is just a refreshed Skyrim I really see no reason to buy it. There are much more interesting RPGs than the Bethesda style nowadays.

As a user there simply was/is no incentive to use other stores when the game is the same price. There has to be a reason for me to buy somewhere else.


They promised one years ago, but never delivered. My main reason for supporting Steam even over GOG.

Apparently for lots oft publications (and people in general) it’s impossible to rate anything below 7
