Quoting: datablobI'm all for weird topics in games and feel like the simulator genre really lends itself to satisfying the curiosity of "I wonder what this niche job would be like". Weird but in a cool way, even better if my expectations are subverted in an interesting manner.

Game looks beautiful btw (as usual with Unreal Engine), the rendering optimization techniques are pretty standard but that doesn't mean devs always employ them. :grin:

Stray really suffered from the lack of shader precaching (causing shader hitching), not sure if that was fixed in more recent updates, but it ran a lot better. Maybe that's not even a thing in UE5 anymore, I see they have the FShaderCache API now.
Be sure to check out Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015: Do You Still Shower With Your Dad [External Link] then! lol :P

Quoting: KlaasIt's a wonder that anyone in Australia is still alive.
Come to Australia, you might accidentally get killed [External Link]!

Really, though, it's crazy that the Steam Deck's still not available there. Unless it actually is and a bunch of kangaroos beat up the delivery guys and stole them all, or something. :tongue:
LOL no....... Its the Emus you gotta worry about....... Dont forget Australia lost a war against those damn flightless birds........
The Great Emu War [External Link].

They used to have the actual battle results thing used for wars on the article several years ago with the result being "Decisive Emu Victory" on it. XD

Roguelite shooter Arcadegeddon hits Steam with Steam Deck support

To be honest, I'm not a fan of a game that you have to pay for that also has "In App Purchases" too. There's just something about it that rubs me the wrong way. I tend to skip them unless I *really* wanna play it.

The loot box games disgust me, and the blatant gambling in NBA 2K does as well. (That's on top of the money generated from NBA 2K not also going to former players enough, even if their likeness is used.)

Well…
No way, nuh-uh. I'm not touching Mighty No. 9, hahaha! :tongue: Gravity Circuit looks like exactly my jam, though. :grin:
I think it gets as low as like $2 USD on Steam during the sales. Since you backed it, you may as well play it at that price. lol
I suppose there comes a point in game quality where the cost of the time you put into it alone, which you can never get back, is too much investment before you even get to giving them actual money.

Quoting: Linux_RocksI only paid like $10 USD for Mighty No. 9 on Wii U new sealed at Toys "R" Us during their selloff sale. It was good enough for that price. lol
I was one of the idiots who backed it! :tongue: I only threw in about a fiver, though, so I never ended up having to play it.
Come to think of it. I also bought it off PSN on sale for like $3 or $4 USD too. I got both the PS3 and PS4 versions though.
