The Steam Deck really doesn't need exclusives
29 Dec 2022 at 6:12 pm UTC

The deck practically has thousands of games that are exclusive for its form factor, no need of exclusivity for the platform.

I'm now officially converted to the RGB LED religion and OpenRGB is amazing

My computer is a mainboard on a test bench-style case in a closet.
The other one is on a MDF board in a different room.

Too much hassle to open and get into tiny spaces when making changes when using a case, prefer to keep everything easily accessible. Obviously no need for lights when the PCs can't be seen anyways.

FIFA? Nah, give me more of Pixel Cup Soccer

Absolutely a big YES to that. Sensible Soccer is the only football game i even realy played(yes, it is actually Football, and that ball carrying game is something else) :tongue:
It's not even a ball they're carrying, it's some kind of egg shaped object.

Edit:
I see this is already discussed above.
I'd say handegg would be the most fitting name for the sport.

Another vote for Monster Train.
I've played most of the games mentioned and it is my favourite, even over Slay the Spire.

Roguebook adds a timed Tournament system, new character DLC

Quoting: scaineAbsolutely zero interest in the tournament stuff, but a new DLC character is welcome, although synergies between existing characters are already superb, so it'll interesting to discover how they've woven in an entirely new angle!

This is a genuinely superb game. It surpasses its own inspiration - I'd rather play this than Slay the Spire any day of the week.
That comment just cost me 16 Euros. Slay the Spire might be my most played game of all time.
I played 100 hours or so of StS and loved it. So much, in fact, that I ended up going down a dark road looking for StS-like games, like Hand of Gilgamesh, DreamGate and even sank 20 hours into the excellent (but naughty, and non-native) Neoverse.

I "only" have 70 hours in Roguebook, but given how many of these games I've played now, to find one this good was just pure joy. The character synergies are superb, and you're MUCH more likely to find a synergy during a run than you are with StS. Does that make the game easier? Maybe. But the excellent unlocks and ramping (but optional) handicaps keep the game fresh, all the while looking for that new synergy.

Can't recommend it enough.

(although I've also got one eye on Monster Train... the rabbit hole is real)
IMO Monster Train is the best of them all.
Works perfectly with proton.

Wine manager Bottles has a big new release with major overhauls

Quoting: mirkobrombin
Quoting: kibasnowpawThis is way to complicated to use and it don't feel user friendly at all and a stuff is missing or not working. i still feel like lutris is a better options here or if you somehow can miss mass this two.
Our focus is on ease of use. What and how should we improve?
Thanks for asking.

Unless I missed something while clicking around in your gui:
There should to be a way to specify multiple locations of bottles.
As we're installing sometimes huge applications in these WINEPREFIX'es, there needs to be a flexible way of storing in different locations. Like Steam has with its game library locations.
