Quoting: WorMzyFYI there's a neat easter egg on the anniversary page if you pick up the crowbar at the bottom and use it in a certain way... :D

Nice catch :grin: Really adds to the nostalgia too, especially with the sounds :heart:

Quoting: Luke_NukemBloody hell... I remember being uber excited by Half-Life: Uplink. Really feeling my age now.

Back then, Uplink impressed me to no end and made me really exited for the full game, but it still didn´t prepare me for the real impact of Half-Life. I´ve been gaming since the mid 80s starting with C64 and NES and I´ve seen some games do a sudden leap into the next generation of gaming, but Half-Life felt like it skipped a whole generation just like that.

Fun fact:
I just realised how much fun it is to say "Deck OLED" out loud. Much better than Switch OLED.

Now back to pondering if I´m gonna take this upgrade or not...

Options are always nice, but since I run most games at 30 FPS and I´d asume 30hz to have noticable flickering (I´ll have to try that out later today), it wouldn´t be of use to me. Would be nice to have something like 3 tabs for this option to quickly switch to what I need. First tab is the one-bar-solution, second tab the two bars and the third could offer some common "1-click-preset" options like 60/60, 30/60 and 40/40.

Since the last stable update, my power button is showing some strange behaviour. Most times I have to press it 5-10 times to turn the deck on or off.

Anyone else having similar problems?

"Dorf" is the Geman word for "village". In the case of "Dorfromantik" thats exactly what it means, Dorfromantik is a word to describe a beautiful and calm village-atmosphere with old buildings, fields, animals etc.

In the case of D.O.R.F., I dont think this has anything to do with it though xD No Idea what it might stand for, I couldn´t find anything about that on the official website either.

The game looks really awesome, I´m especially hyped with those two points

• Base construction and resource harvesting, but with a modern twist; resources must get from the refineries to the factories, rewarding players with efficient base layouts.


• Pump oil from deposits, mine ore beneath the surface, and gather scrap and debris left over from previous battles to fuel your war machine.

We can see trains, pipes and connected buildings in the video. Mixing classic RTS with a little bit of Factorio could be very awesome if done right.

Looks awesome, but yeah... no numpad is a dealbreaker for me.

I wouldn´t mind a big red alt+f4 button though...

I played it a while ago and probaply gonna wait for the full release or late-EA until I start another game, but I really enjoyed the game so far!

I also love how much they go into detail with the whole wood-theme, the kinetic energy and how well the vertical gameplay already works.

A lot has changed since I played, but a good advice back then was to have one separate "paradise settelment", where the beavers don´t produce anything but food and basicly just eat, relax, get fat and be happy... and whenever some grave planning error wipes out your other settlements during a drought, you can easily kick some of em out of paradise to repopulate those other settlements.

However, I still feel great shame when I think back on how long it took me to realize that beavers actually CAN swim :whistle:

I wish to win because I´m so devilishly handsome I always loved ressource management and city building. I spent countless hours with the Settlers and Anno series. The Wandering Village seems to be right up my alley and I really love the twist with the giant creature. It also seems to be a great fit for my Steam Deck :wub:

A great milestone indeed, happy birthday! :grin:

Im relatively new to this site (came here with the launch of the Steam Deck).
14 years is quite impressive, especially considering the topic´s reality back then. You´ve really been ahead of the curve. Thanks for all the years of dedication and work!
