Quoting: sonic2kkI can't say I like the Dead by Daylight devs (they include Easy Anti-Cheat malware with their "game", and afaik enforce cross play woth Epic Online Services malware) but I also can't say I like the Darkest Dungeon devs (Darkest Dungeon 2 was an Epic Exclusive).

Can't say I respect either studio, perhaps they're made for each other. :tongue:

Epic announced they may no longer provide exclusivity deals with payments up front. that was a significant lifeline for Red Hook to the tune of many millions, so without it, maybe they're eager to accept buy-out cash from anyone who will offer it if it means they get to keep making games.
I had fun playing DD1 and am proud to have beaten it on the original difficulty. Later play sessions have led to frustration and uninstalling. I just don't have time anymore for RNG ruining my fun, nor do I care for spending the tens of hours to beat RNG through sheer force of acquiring dozens of end game trinkets.

To think I spent $10 on Greedfall like a chump last summer sale when I could have waited until November to claim it for free!

I'll grab Shadow of TR thanks

I watched a YouTube tutorial recently on how to swap steam deck buttons, and it's an arduous process. Looks like it would take 30-60 minutes just to get to where you would have access to the button caps. Then you have to put it all back together !

That is an annoying bug. There's another related bug where making changes to gyro will disable gyro input until I hit the QAM button and close it.

I half-expect Timmy and EGS to suddenly announce EAC support for this particular flavor of Linux, but specifically NOT SteamOS.

I set the game to update on launch, and haven't launched it while I await the new update to fix the physics-tied-to-framerate idiocy they introduced (apparently merging codebase from consoles to PC, good job guys).
Good on Hopoo devs joining Valve though.

Quoting: dziadulewiczFor easy (read:sane) installation there are Flatpak and Snap packages now:

https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.theforceengine.tfe [External Link]
https://snapcraft.io/the-force-engine [External Link]

As of time of writing not yet updated though. So packagers, please update soon :smile:

This is what I've been waiting for so I can play Dark Forces easily on Steam Deck. I'm also waiting for Outlaws support as I'd like to play that again too.

Quoting: ElectricPrismStardew Valley was made because Harvest Moon SNES never got a proper successor for decades by a super fan turned dev tycoon.

This was made because ??? Stardew Valley made a lot of money ???

Which to me makes it feel like it's a: "The Product".

I won't know if it has a soul or not until the reviews start to roll in.

It's graphically "adequate", but as the Nausicaan's say: "you talk and you talk, but you have no guramba!"

We will see if it has guramba or not.

I'm with you on that, it's a Stardew-clone, but maybe some people are excited about a Western-themed take on that game.
My wife has played at least three Stardew clones and they're mostly quite similar with few notable improvements. SDC creator really nailed it right out of the gate, it's hard to improve on what he built.

This sale I'm pretty much joining the New Steam Sales Naysayers in that a lot of the stuff I'm interested in is actually more expensive than it has been in recent sales due to either a price increase, a lower discount, or both. The rest is either not on sale at all, or nowhere near a price point I'd pull the trigger at.

I suspect that publishers have decided not to drastically discount their titles to the degree that they used to, despite the desperately immense competition on the Steam store from all the titles competing for our dollars. Heavy discounts encourage players to wait for another heavy discount again. So why bother with that when you could decide 30% is your title's lifetime max discount?
Combine that with standard price creeps, e.gm Skyrim's slow base-price increase, and we have a recipe for higher prices and less interesting sales. Combine that with many of ours' bloated steam libraries and we probably aren't buying much at all.

Waiting on 1.0 here, forgot I had removed the game from my wishlist even since I was tired of seeing it there but still in EA.
