GOG is having a sale right now too.

Which is how I learned about the Sequel to Myst -- Riven just came out 3 days ago.

Which is especially interesting because of the VR element.

Looking for Steam Deck / LAN games -- something tells me I'll be making some purchases for my weekly weekend LAN party. I just hope to get some good Steam Deck and games that run on mid-grade potatoes.

As dumb as it sounds, Left 4 Dead 2 @ 99 cents was actually a really fun play on Steam Deck last week.

Maybe it's time for a CS2 Poolday throwback :P

By all means please tell us what you're buying and your favorite / most clocked hour gamess @all

Pool Day

I read on the internet somewhere -- Pool Day -- Where Boys go to become Men.

Such an epic map to see in this quality. Awesome!

--

I really enjoyed the Bedroom and Bathroom maps, they were especially fun with Snipers.

--

Then there's the Buck Nasty surf maps of CSS which never made it to CSGO in all their glory. Especially with the RPG+DeathMatch server mods.

--

Iceworld! I could easily see Iceworld joining the list after years of fun! ( My favorite is the 2 levels one from CSS)

Quoting: Cybolic

Quoting: ElectricPrismThe use-case isn't obvious to me. Maybe I'm just tired.

So this allows you to play VR Games on Gnome Wayland? Is that it or is there something more to this like a Gnome VR Desktop or something.

That should be it, yes. Currently, starting up (e.g.) SteamVR while using Gnome on Wayland won't work, it won't pass on the display output to the VR headset; with this new work merged, it will.

Awesome, I actually happen to current use Gnome with my Index in the living room. Although I have been steadily been switching to everything Sway. In any case normalizing Index VR on Wayland will trickle down my way I'm sure -- very excited to get a more definitive experience for __ videos __ gaming __ vr __ video editing __ and whatever else -- Wayland is doing pretty good.

KINGDOM HEARTS

Normally I would instabuy a title like this, but I am pretty salty about them selling out as an exclusive to EGS.

And my people are pretty disappointed at the story post > #1.

Although I'm 50/50. It's on my radar, someone tell me it has Denuvo or some other dumb shit like a Square Launcher or whatever, or is always online or some other __dumb management thing__ so I can take it off my radar.

Japanese Game Studios love committing commercial suicide by insulting their fans.

Quoting: LanzSelaco deserves every bit of the praise it gets. It's one of the best FPS games I have ever played. The attention to detail is remarkable.

Exactly, I bought it for the System Shock 2 vibes, and it vaguely reminds me of Duke Nukem from around 2000. I got confused in the level design slightly during progression and it would be refreshing to have the "naughty" bad boy spice added of something Conquer's Bad Fur Day or Duke Y2K to complement the style and genre.

What I played was pretty fun and played great on Steam Deck. It's rare to find something like that these days -- I had my eye on this one for at least a year or two which I rarely do for any game.

Quoting: Nateman10004. They seem to not understand their own case. The case claims to be about overcharging gamers but the actual case details seem to point to being about overcharging developers

If true, then it would seem that China/Tencent is just MAD about paying and using their oversea UK assets to do lawfare in their interests.

They literally have done this exact thing using Epic Games as a PROXY to try to get around paying the Steam Tax.

Raise your hand if you're tired of RTS __NOT SHOWING YOU GAMEPLAY__

Like -- grow up -- these kinds of first person cinematic in video game trailers were attractive in the 2000s because cinematic were ___impressive___ ___difficult to do___ and ___scarce___.

They are not the attractive marketing tools they used to be. Now they completely misrepresent the experience and only serve to confuse.

What are they even trying to get me to buy? Someone needs to fire marketing.

The attitude shouldn't be anger and outrage

Garry Newman, infamous for being easily butthurt, sure can dish out hard criticisms and judgements of other people for "wrong feelings" but when it's his turn he cries on Twitter that "Teh Loonix clan said mean things to muh". Hypocrite.

Maybe because [...] this generation [...] {posts IP+} memes on tiktok and no-one gets pissed.

`old_man_yelling_at_clouds.jpg`

This comes across as trying to reconcile being "out of touch" with the reality of people in the present by ragging on TikTok.

Dude is acting as a cynical pragmatist and just covering his own ass. Like duh, he's not going to take one for his fans, but does he really need to condescend to kiss the boots of Nintendo??? SMH.

Dude can't get his, or others foot out of his mouth. He has foot in mouth disease.

He should have just shut up about it and it would have blown over. I've never known anyone who steps in so much shit on the sidewalk from having such poor social judgement.

Garry Newman is the Neil Breen of Gaming. [External Link]
