Steam Deck SteamOS 3.6.20 Beta has an updater fix and Metaphor: ReFantazio performance improvements

On the topic of game recording: i still did not find a way to record game-only audio. I can choose to include my microphone, but the voicechat (mumble) in the background get recorded, too. Currently i am running Linux Mint on Pipewire, but i cannot seem to find a way to isolate the different sources. Other than that, i really love this feature.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWhen I think Spy vs Spy I think Mad magazine . . . there was a game?
Yes, it was based on the comic from the Mad Magazine. Even the gameplay was a little bit off, so they did it quite well. :)

Ah, No Mans Sky. I really like what the devs did here, the game looks absolutely awesome, and there is tons of content. But no matter how often i retry it, after a few hours i feel the grind, and my motivation is lacking somehow.
Elite, its biggest competition (in my opinion), is way less dense in content and grindy as hell, but for me, it feels a bit more rewarding and... real. I wonder what Hello Games had to do in order to get me hooked for longer.

Wow, this is great. I really loved the original Subnautica. The first night underwater, the things glowing in the reefs, and the soundtrack of Simon Chylinski kicked in... that was awesome.
Basebuilding with friends? Hell yeah.

Quoting: ShabbyXHow can I survive the wait? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Welcome to my world, been through that since the first release! :)
These changes are really appreciated. I always disliked that farming and cooking were no skills, because i tended to our player base a lot (valheim can be such great comedy with friends). I hope they make fishing a lot more relevant to the gameplay, because fishing in this game is one of the best implementations i have ever played. If you are really hooked, there is some cool "valheim lore explained" videos out there, they made me re-read the Edda even.

Quoting: TheRiddickBooks erode, we should really write it on stone in a cave somewhere, for future generations that will 100% be living in caves. lol

Sigh. Yeah, give it to us, we need the pain. Us Gerrrmans need to be protected, we have German Angst!
Man, why can´t we just have Eikes proposal? Auto-Age 18 for nonresponders and thats it.
We are already protected from all the pr0n-games already (as the only country i believe).

Stellaris: Grand Archive set for launch October 29th as Paradox teams up with Abrakam

If i weren´t so incredibly slow in my gameplay, i really would enjoy games like this. But it takes me so long to twiddle the knobs that i forgot what the initial plan was. Sigh.

Valve puts two Steam Deck LCD models on sale for Steam's birthday

A friend nagged me to play Team Fortress 2 in 2008 with him, but initially i refused, because i did not want any DRM/Launcher thingy on my computer. After some weeks i gave it up, and here we are.
Happy Birthday, Steam! May you always stay nice to your followers!

Steam Families has officially launched with a big Steam Client Update
13 Sep 2024 at 6:34 am UTC

As this is Valve we are talking about, i have reasons to hope that this restriction on family sharing will get clarified and improved. But for me, the family sharing is a lot more than that. It lets me control and set play times and restrictions for the kids really nicely.It worked like a charm in the beta already, and changes were instant. Another quality of life improvement in a long list for me that came basically free, and i am grafeful for that.
