Well she is having fun now, but soon it’ll be my turn enjoying the life, tinkering the Steam Deck to configure the emulators. Bliss!

Thanks for the Cassette Beasts recommendation. It was already on my wishlist but I’ll bump it up.

Thanks for the news!

Since I am in holidays, away from my gaming computer, I’ve only played Bloons TD6 and a bit of Vampire Survivors…

On the other hand, my daughter took my new Steam Deck and played:

• Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara. A nice platforming game, a bit small on the screen of the Deck.
• Monster Sanctuary. A Pokémon-like Metroidvania, with turn-based battles alla old Final Fantasy games. This one is perfect for the Deck.

Good, now make the engine open source Iike Carmack did for Doom 2 & 3 🤪

/s it will never happen as this game, although being great, is full of proprietary frameworks/3rd party libs.

Yes the first dives in Dave the Diver are wonderful with the beautiful pixel art.

But I found this game deeply disturbing: you kill the most fish possible to make the most money possible, but not the dolphins because they are cute. I found this game is a perfect symbol of the overproductivism of our era, while the earth is dying. I know it’s just a game, but the fact the game creator are not even aware of the philosophy their game is carrying, left a bitter taste in my mouth.

And yeah, the game is full of FOMO even in their dlcs, and the huge amount of collabs with other overly popular game make me think, in the end, it’s a pure empty marketing vessel. An it’s fake indie !

Dave the diver DLC is limited in time AND not free…Ouch ! I am glad I have lost interest in the game :)

I am playing 3 games in parallel:

• Battlefield 4. Discovered only 2 months ago. The game is 10 years old and the server have, at best, only 2000 people in it 😂. But it is great and achievements hunting is fun, quick quick before the servers close !
• Control. It feels like “x-files, the game”. It’s mysterious, confusing and after all, enjoyable. The art direction and the fights are great.
• Gris, my small game for the evening. Not really started but it’s the replacement for my previous small game The Gardens Between which was …ok. Enjoyable and short.

Ah, and I have ordered my Steam Deck 🙈

At first I found achievements a bit ridiculous, like in the old days at school where you received an image if you did good.

In the meantime, some smart achievements forced me out of my play style and made me try things I would never had the idea of trying. Those are the best achievements for me. The game with such achievements that triggered the achievement crazyneness of mine was Trine 2 😁

Thanks I’ll have a look.

Unfortunately, my personal curse is the love of achievements 😅, and heroic support of them with GOG is still a little bit lacking. But with the new comet support with overlay in heroic, hopefully it will change soon.

Thanks for the really interesting mish mash of information 😁

You are a Linux gamer with a love for GOG. May I ask how are you accessing GOG games on Linux/Steam Deck: Lutris? Heroic?

The price is reasonable

To save a click 😁

Castlevania: Dominus Collection brings together a trilogy of highly regarded Nintendo DS games for the first time on home consoles. Previously DS exclusive games, the collection contains Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. All three are fantastic, varied experiences with some absolutely beautiful pixel art, along with each of them having unique elements that set them apart from other games in the series.

As an added bonus, the Castlevania: Dominus Collection also contains 1987 title, Haunted Castle, which brought the Castlevania series to arcades for the first time, in a newly updated edition: Haunted Castle Revisited.

Yeah you’re right. This statement was intended for me.

Everyone can of course play what they want.

+100, my feelings exactly.

I am now 45. I tried Deadlock, was overwhelmed, some other player told me to “fuck off” through the vocal chat because I was in the wrong lane, I uninstalled.

Generally, I don’t have time anymore to play online games that are about grind and skill. I don’t want to play only one sort of game. I want a game with an end so that I can move to another one.

MOBAs were cool at the time of warcraft 3. Let’s move on.

I looks wonderful!

I am a Pogo player and I hate having to stay looking at the phone, under the rain or with cold hands or bloody sun 😂

You write “no mtx, no ads”. How do you plan to monetize your app ? Will it be a one time payment or with DLCs?
