Dev of Shadow Tactics, Desperados III, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew shutting down

Quoting: Phlebiac
Quoting: anewsonthe ill-fated Daedalic (of Gollum fame)
I see the reviews on Gollum are terrible, but Daedalic has put out lots of nice games previously. Did Gollum take them out?

Edit: Probably not, as they have lots of upcoming games listed (including a sim in the Deponia universe):

yeah it was a big hit to them and they closed their development studio; I'm sure it wasn't fun for them as a publisher either

I wonder at what point they made this decision... seems so strange to close up shop right after a good release. Maybe they didn't think the launch was as successful as it needed to be? or maybe they decided to close up a long time ago but wanted to push out this last game. I also wonder if it's related to them self-publishing instead of using the ill-fated Daedalic (of Gollum fame)

Respawn now properly looking into Apex Legends bans on Linux & Steam Deck

Quoting: CanI just recently played some apex and I couldn't find a single player that had any recoil enabled. My old account was hacked and banned at some point so I don't know if I just got sent to the shadow realm of aimbot filled lobbies or what.
when you spectate another player you don't see weapon recoil

really like the visual style (love that starry "fog" of war). I've been addicted to Hero's Hour lately so I'll be giving this one a hard look

Broforce Forever has launched with new characters, enemies and more
16 Aug 2023 at 2:03 am UTC

what a crazy world we live in that broforce gets an update in 2023. It's a great game. Last time I installed it was around 5 years ago and people immediately jumped into my public game - highly recommend giving it a try to anyone who hasn't already

Overwatch 2 becomes the worst user-reviewed game on Steam
16 Aug 2023 at 1:59 am UTC

Quoting: Grifterwould you recommend it for someone like me who has no nostalgia, and where it has no 'grip' on me?
Absolutely check it out. It's still the best hero shooter as far as I'm concerned. I also didn't play OW1 so I'm not sure how much better it was, but OW2 is great. It's true the monetization is pretty brutal (a little worse than Apex, if you have that as a comparison), but as long as you don't mind missing out on cool skins or most of the new PVE content, then you can spend nothing and have a great time. I'm not saying the review bombing isn't justified - people have a right to be mad - but at its core OW is a very well crafted gaming experience. You will have to face the fact that you're supporting Activision Blizzard though XD

Get Disco Elysium and Chivalry 2 in Humble Choice
13 Aug 2023 at 3:18 pm UTC

Quoting: KlaasSorry for the slight OT, but whenever I see something like
 
's/Chivalry2Launcher.exe/TBL\/Binaries\/Win64\/Chivalry2-Win64-Shipping.exe/'

I wonder why it isn't known that you can choose which character you use as separator for sed.
Something like
 
's%Chivalry2Launcher.exe%TBL/Binaries/Win64/Chivalry2-Win64-Shipping.exe%'

avoids escaping every / in a path.

Edit: Okay, maybe not % since that is used by steam, but it's completely arbitrary.
this was news to me <3 thanks
