Undecided at this point, but I'm leaning toward Chained Echoes (native) and Tunic (not native).

Probably pick up Loop Hero regardless, since it's pretty cheap right now.

No, but the car bricks itself if you play a flight sim.

Joke RIPPED from today's headlines!

We may get a Steam Controller 2, plus fun updates coming to Steam Deck

If they came out with a new Steam Controller that incorporates all they've learned since the first one came out, I'll buy that thing immediately. I managed to get the first one and love it, my only real complaint is the right trackpad is way too big to be easy to control. On some games, that's no big deal, but many others it's a real flaw.

My trouble with the original really is that I don't know how to configure it for play outside of Steam, except via SC-Controller which...isn't great tbh. I've seen people mention there are other ways to do it, but I don't know what they are.

No, the car has to be a car, not a gaming pc. I prefer having less technology at the car and having more battery life.
i doubt it use thaat much battery.
maybe you lose 1km , but if you didnt prepared yourself to refill the battery in a long driving session to the point that 1km was an issue, then you cant blame the car really.
Heat and AC will use up a LOT more battery than the onboard processors ever will.

I don't like Musk one little bit. His flaws are legion, his ego is incredible, and his primary skills are in self-promotion and not being tied down by the truth in doing so. He's famously over-promised in every single business he's been involved in, including Tesla. And his Twitter antics, before and after buying it, have revealed a lot about him.

But that said, and this is important, he doesn't design or build the cars. He pays people to do that. What he is and is not like has little, if anything, to do with this decision or the quality of the vehicles (which, if my housemate's Model 3 is anything to go by, is actually very good (full self-driving is pretty half-baked though)).

As to the games, a LOT of the use case for those is when you're charging the vehicle. Refuelling an EV isn't a five minute process like with a gas-powered car, you might be sitting there 15-20 minutes easily, depending on a number of things. So it's great to have something to occupy yourself with in the meantime. They used to allow games while driving, saying it's "for passenger use only", but disabled it a year ago following bad press about it. Dumb oversight not to disable it to start with, which I chalk up to engineers often assuming everyone else is like them, and since they wouldn't do that....

I haven't even unlocked all the content in the *base* game, nevermind even considering DLC.

I mean I only got to the [really trippy place] last night.

Well met! Wesley brothers (Plus their mother: people forget that Susanna was instrumental in John and Charles' formative years. Her work reads pretty well too.) fan club unite! (Yes, that pun was terrible.)
Gotta admit I don't really understand how Method acting could become an actual religion. :tongue:
Well, it *is* based on faith rather than facts...

MineClone2 version 0.81.0 (free Minecraft-like) for Minetest out now
7 Dec 2022 at 1:08 am UTC Likes: 2

Quoting: 1xokThe main problem of Mineclone are bugs. There is Mineclone2 and Mineclone5. The latter implements Minecraft rather more freely and offers more content (and more bugs). Mineclone2 focuses mainly on version 12.2. The world generation is sometimes much more impressive than in Minecraft due to the world size of 65536 blocks in all directions.
As I understand it, that's no longer the case. MineClone2 is not focusing on any particular version now, having pretty much hit their baseline for parity, but they are more interested in stability over frequent releases.

For instance, from the current update, Beehives are a 1.14 element and Axolotls are 1.17.

Luna's Fishing Garden is, surprisingly, a big temptation. It's got very good reviews.
