Steam shop alternative for Indie games? Would explain why there are sooo many of them involved.

Metal Hellsinger is great.

Time for a new release I guess, even though with Airshipper updating to weekly builds it doesn't really matter that much for existing players.

I still haven't actually gone through and finished Metro Exodus yet. Really enjoyed the gameplay and story in the first two though, so I really should do Exodus at some point.

It's a significant departure especially in gameplay from the first two, and IMHO much worse because Exodus is mostly an open-world game with loads of half-assed fetch quests that do not further the story in any way.

I really hope the upcoming VR title will go back to the roots of the first two, and given how badly suited VR is for open-world games I have some hopes that it will not totally suck.

Odd screen resolution choice. Probably not the best for overall performance.

But still... depending on the price this might be an interesting Steam Deck competitor.

The player increase is probably from the simultaneous 60% discount last week.

Its a nice Godot engine based game, but the combat isn't really tower defense (and it would be probably a better game if it was).

Quoting: dpanteralso means these cards are again selling at a loss

These are clearly partially defective A750/770 chips that otherwise could not be sold at all.

I think it is a reasonable offer, but it irks me that apparently the defective parts are not actually fully disabled and still draw power even when idling.

They probably need this for their Deckard system (wireless VR streaming) and since it is rumoured to have very similar internals to the Steam Deck (and a Qualcomm based co-processor), it is probably easy to back-port this improvement to the Deck.

Quoting: GroganYou guys make me feel like an old nerd or something... I've never seen "SHMUP" before lol

The term "shmup" is believed to have been coined in 1985 by the British Commodore 64 magazine Zzap!

The term might be older than you in fact.

I give them that: they very accurately recreated the cringe that was the original Mortal Combat even when it was first released.
