I think Terraria 4-pack key back in 2011-2012 was the money most well spend on Steam. We had a lot of fun and I eventually go back to Terraria from time to time. It's funny to remember that some of my friends thought that "Terraria was just a crappy 2D copy of Minecraft", while me and my wife had fun with both.

Damn, Re-Logic still delivers quality content through fixes and collabs without asking for additional money(and that I would gladly pay).

And a post-mortem thaanks to Daniel Oliveira, who contributed much with patches and unit tests for the -RT branch of the kernel but unfortunately, passed away this year without seeing the RT patches fully landing on upstream Linux

On Steam:

Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-tamper

That is easy a "I'll pass" for me...

What a nice plot twist for those(including me) living in places where Seagulls are jerks.

Waiting for the Pringles+Laxatives DLC....



The Magpie being the dealer is also pretty funny

Having an ARM laptop and playing x86 games with some serious 3D is becoming reality...

Bundle idea is neat for those runs where you have to keep discarding those items that you have only 2 to 10 of them to keep the more precious stuff in your inventory.

Quoting: PikoloYou might want to get your nephew a really small mouse and keyboard instead - not being able to use both at 7y seems like a serious impediment at school.

Not all countries have that early introduction to computers. Some of them wait for when they are 12 or 13 years old, some countries don't even allow laptops (which I think it is beneficial from the standpoint of the student deviating into other tasks)...

Quoting: DogsRNiceIf only they had made a proper modding api like they said they would in like 2013

Agreed. Mods are awesome, but using mods was always a miserable task.

It is less miserable nowadays with stuff like PrismLauncher where you can even keep mods on par with your Minecraft version pretty easily.

Quoting: StellaHave you tried using Steam input instead? It allows to play any game with controller even if that only supports mouse and keyboard. It's how i play minecraft on Steam deck without any mods. There's tons of preset controller configs already available that map controller buttons to keyboard or you can make your own

It's clunky and it misses most of the features or it needs loads of optimizations on mappings(mouse acceleration for example).

Controlify provides a better in-game experience like, aligning the cursor to the middle of an inventory slot so, you don't have a "free mouse" hovering around when trying to craft stuff or organize your items. These and other are just a tip of the iceberg on features that are in-game that are not good enough for just using Steam controller mapping.

That is huge when we are talking about 7y old kids playing, with no mouse ability whatsoever. And this is something that could break more often if Microsoft decides to release updates in a faster pace.

Playing bedrock is also not an option since I'm always on Linux, and my wife uses macOS and we have to play together with him.

------------------------------
Even on the Steam Deck, when I'm playing it on chill mode(harvesting, dealing with animals, base building), I use the PrismLauncher flatpak + Minecraft + Controlify because it has some nice goodies for the Deck controller as well.
