Started playing this with my brother and it was an instant hit! Very much a top-down Terraria or Core Keeper.

Quoting: GroganI somewhat resent that Valve made this game VR only. I bought the Half Life games and all the expansions and was thusly invested in it and I'd have liked another game. Especially after all that hype about Half Life 3, they come out with this and make it inaccessible to anyone that doesn't have the headgear. I don't ever plan to have a VR headset, I don't think it would be good for me.

Few games are "VR only", most devs realize that it's better to have a larger audience.

Enough resentment that I don't want to reward the game with a purchase, and use a third party mod so I can play it (that might be fragile come game update time, too)

So, I salute these guys for doing it.

I feel exactly the same. I had all the old games & expansions plus a re-buy for Xbox. The fact that they made this VR-only was a huge slap in the face.

What have you been playing lately?

Solo I've been playing Sable, The Long Dark & Salt 2. With some groups I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3, Icarus & Valheim.

Been a great year for gaming on Linux!

I'd like to mention https://rpginabox.com/ [External Link], it's beginner friendly and royalty free (free demo available). Really approachable (even my 11 year old is building games with it.

Has everything you need to create maps, voxel models, sounds, dialogs, etc.
