Great game! I had a lot of fun with it. Was it early access at some point? I seem to remember it not being complete when I played it. Or maybe I was left wanting more? Guess I’ll reinstall and find out. Thanks for the reminder!



How timely a comment.

I just got pop_os up and running to replace windows 11 on my alienware aurora. Still working on a sound issue in Helldivers 2 but overall has been a smooth transition.


Ori and the Will o’ the Wisps is an amazing sequel, just as beautiful and just as smooth to play.

Moon Studios also has a new project, No Rest for the Wicked. It is very different from the Ori games but just as well crafted.



Using an old spare as a test is a good idea.

And to think, my wife mocks my hoard of old parts, cables, adapters, etc. Who’s laughing now? It matters not that it grows at an inverse rate at which it is depleted…I did say hoard, did I not?

Yeah…ok, so try it with a spare. Sounds good.


That’s the plan no matter what but always glad to hear from the voices of experience.


I use it to vet ganes for my kids at a glance. I still allow them to play some but I want them going in with eyes open to the machinations going on.


I want to swap my alienware aurora to linux but I’m struggling to find a distro that I know will be compatible with my hardware. Is there a list for bazzite driver support? I’m sure all my hardware will work in most linux distros geared toward gaming but it’d be nice to have some assurance beforehand.



I know from personal experience it broke Star Wars Outlaws. Appears to have broken any Ubisoft games using that same engine.


This is why I returned Star Wars Outlaws on Steam. I couldn’t even get the game to start. Ubisoft has known about this issue for months now and continues to allow their PC games to be sold in an unplayable state. This is exactly the kind of situation class action lawsuits should be used in, too bad consumer protections are nominal at best in the US.


Compare this to, say, Dead By Daylight, where there’s “seasons” with unlockable rewards, you can get them for free, and you can keep unlocking them after the season ends.

Similarly Helldivers 2 battle passes cost in-game earnable currency to unlock and never expire, but if people want to pay cash to unlock them the option is there.


Ale and Tale Tavern is a game about running a tavern.
Star Was Galaxies back in the day was one of the only MMORPGs I have ever played where people actually hung out in the cantina all day. You can still play it with help from the linked site. That was an incredible MMO and a shame what happened to it.


I also like the lack of pressure to finish a round if you have to be drug away by life. I know they’ll likely be able to finish without me or someone will pop in after me to help.



Thanks, wishlisted and might pick it up super cheap before January 2nd.


I’ll have to check those out. I played Vermintide when it first came out and wasn’t very impressed. I’ll give it another go.


Lighthouse is my current white whale. Going to finally check out the Cavern next time I go back.




I hear you. I’ve had every playstation since the PS1. We even own a PS4 and PS4 Pro. Mythbusters was the beginning of the end for me. When they yanked Mythbusters without warning or recompense it drove home what I already knew: my digital library was only as good as the whims of Sony. I haven’t made a purchase on their platform since.

And like you I also have Plus for a while, but I’ve noticed more offerings are starting to be PS5 only. And maybe it’s bias informing my experience but I could swear they’ve already begun enshitifying the PS4 store the same way they degraded the PS3 store when the 4 came out. They removed some of the browsing options, like browsing by category.



It was good of Sony to bribe enough people to bring it to your attention.


Your video game has characters collecting in-game coins.

We have a patent for commercial mechanics existing in games, pay us.

I’m wondering if it will run on the Steamdeck I bought my daughter for Christmas.





The dev for that game recently said if they made it now the story would have to be very different because of the echoes with current events.


It’s a very different game and not all story advancing actions are intuitive. Enjoy!


Sounds like a clever way to avoid saying they’re underselling.


Lots of good suggestions already, adding Magicmaker as a fun build-your-own-spells game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/319250/Magicmaker/


  • Horizon Zero Dawn
  • Ghost of Tsushima
  • Sundered
  • Ori and the Blind Forest
  • Ori and the Will o the Wisp
  • Prototype and Prototype 2
  • Crackdown


The work these folks are doing is pretty cool. They utilize polarized light to allow for multiple viewing angles of holograms. https://axiomholographics.com/


holograph - A document written wholly in the handwriting of the person whose signature it bears.

I think you meant hologram. In which case, check it out: https://axiomholographics.com/devices/hologram-room/


you are now in uncharted territory

Holy shit, it’s so complex you can end up in a new IP franchise entirely?! I’ll never wrap my head around programming.



Still on my first playthrough amd my “factory” is a collection of what I had to build at any moment connected where it has to be for the next step. Other than a few rebuilt spots here and there. Last night was the quest for more coal and a lesson in power grid management. Next up to tackle is better water pressure optimization.
