Quoting: Pengling"Paste the bunny/kitty of doom into your review and pass it on!" things.

Oh god yes, people find way to spam anything with everything.

It's horrible.

As for the "famous voice actor", i haven't seen that one yet. But i don't read them in detail. I usualy look at both good and bad that go into the detail of why, then try to find more info on the bad reviews as it's generaly what ends up discussed on reddit and youtube.

The worst offender i've seen so far is Tactics Ogre Reborn. The bad reviews are complaining about what makes the strenght of this remake/remaster.

Discoverability is a problem indeed.

I think i spend more time looking at potential new games, sales and bundles than i play somedays.

"oh, there's a new bundle at *official key site*. Hmm, i already have 2 of the 3 games i'm interrested. Crap, i don't know half those games, are they worth it ? Are they even worth anything for retrading in the worst case? Okay, they're 3d action games, do they even run at 60 fps on the steamdeck ? Wait, do they even run on the SD period ??? Are they long games or things that can enter and exit my backlog fast ?

So i'm checking a lot of different sites to answer those question.

* youtube for reviews as the internet is full of AI generated crap and most website i usualy followed have all been bought by marketing firms since a while. But with the removal of downvote, it gets harder to find reliable reviewers. Even with plugin to bring them back.
* Then there's SteamdeckHQ, reddit, and back to youtube to see some footage to see if it runs, how well and at what settings. And steam reviews. They're not that helpful, as they range from "good game, no problem here" to "this is buggy as hell and the gameplay is horrible for x,y & z"
* There's also simply the steam store with augmented steam from isthereanydeal and the steamDB pluggin to see how much they usualy go on sales, how frequently and what not. Then for game in bundles i'm not that into it, GGdeals to see if i could at list manage to exchange them and for how much.
* ProtonDB too if after finaly buying a thing and the SD protonDB decky pluggin do not show a gold or higher badge.

I'm really at a point where i have a backlog that got way out of hand and i'm not buying anything anymore on D1, except some multiplayer fighting games. And even then, it's the one for a year or two. Everything else i need to curate a bit 'cause there's no way in hell i'm having enough time during the next 50 years to finish everything.
And lets face it, a lot of those games are kind of crap too. Either they're solo dev project full or rpgmaker/unity asset put together that feel wrong to look at in some way or another, or AA & AAA games that are basicaly the same but on an industry level. Generic as hell and following the current trends to milk your consumer and not really worth it either. Either in time or money. And then, there's shady port of games that are buggy as hell. Or with 3 servers able to handle a couple dozen player and a 10k userbase trying to rush in on D1.

It's a jungle out there, and not a consumer friendly one. Too many predators out there, not enough meat to survive for them and the quality that ensue is less than stellar.

Quoting: JarmerAlso, I'm sure they addressed this, but I'm guessing there's some mechanism in place to prevent assholes from finding some super buffed item in the Circle, then quitting and joining the Bazaar, selling it, then going back to the Circle.

The video adress it, it seems that the items are tagged per faction, with items having ranks requiring to have a certain faction lv.

Now i'm just wondering if the game can hold 60 fps on the deck as it seems cool.

Does that mean that we can use flawlesswidescreen to remove the black bars without getting banned ?

Quoting: F.Ultrabut he does have access to the most expensive care available on the planet so he could very well live for another 20 or 40 years.

I'd be fine with 80y but i'm probably overly optimistic here.

He also seems to have a Yatch and there's been a rising of criminal acts against those by killer whales recently.
Whitch is good, but not for this one particular yatch so...

Enough kidding around, i didn't knew about the shares being already divided among that many people. By exwife, i imagine that's the mother of his children ? So, in a way, it's still in the family. They would be crazy to sell out, we're on the same page but we do have our lot of crazy trillionaires around so we never know.

The older i get, the more woried i get at what will happen after Gaben step down/dies and this sort of news are kind of terrifying when i look at my 827 game library with only 54 of those game completed. And this include game i bought dozens of years ago on console that got a pc port i actually haven't touched yet.

Another glorious AAA for my steamdeck 8)

I have the freeware in my desktop, right beside all my emulators. The game is fun but it really would be better played on my deck in gaming mode.

Glad to see it coming to steam.
