Go back in time to the land of the dinos in the excellent demo for Theropods

I already got stuck at the very first puzzle because i couldn't figure out how to put the mug back together… The game could go a long way in explaining its mechanics better ngl.

SaveState is an open source versatile game save backup manager - now with Linux support

One thing that's important to remember is that cloud saves cannot (and should not) replace regular backups. For starters, some games only have a single save slot and if something happens to it (you die, bad decision, gets corrupt etc.) then the older one gets overwritten including in the cloud. But even for games without this limitation, you can run out of cloud storage space. It's actually happened to me several times now, in Jurassic World Evolution and Baldur's Gate 3. Also, if something really bad happens to all of these saves, Steam Cloud would still sync them and you'll lose everything.
Don't forget to make backups guys!

I always had the impression this was related to game recording and not the Steam overlay

SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S

Wow, how embarassing for Microsoft! Makes me wonder if the battery life on regular laptops could also be better with Linux installed? Perhaps x86 is not as power-hungry as everyone is always saying…

I'm certainly excited for more devices with SteamOS coming out:wub:

Zombies vs Vampires Fest is live on Steam - some recommendations

I'm surprised noone has mentioned Vampyr yet! I picked it up during the sale for -80% off. I think the premise is very interesting, you're a doctor but also a vampire, and there's a flu epidemic so you have your hands full. It's also Steam Deck verified:wub:

Fanatical's latest Capcom Legends bundle has some good picks for cheaps

Meh, Capcom is one of my globally blacklisted publishers. They're anti-modding to an extreme extent and have even updated 10 year old games just to add DRM to them to limit modding. The newest Monster Hunter: Wilds could run much better without the 2 (!!!) DRMs that they added to it. Until they become more consumer-friendly, I'm not buying anything from them

This just became instantly more interesting. Hopefully you'll be able to host your own servers

Get some dino games like Parkasaurus, Amber Isle and Prehistoric Kingdom in this Humble Bundle

I looked over the list and for me personally, Prehistoric Kingdom is the star of the show here. It's a superb dinosaur/prehistoric-animals park builder with modular building system, which is actually a joy to build with, unlike in Planet Zoo. The animals are extremely good looking and it's so much fun to make realistic exhibits. And it has BABY DINOS! Need I say more.
The other ones that seem interesting are Amber Isle (which reminds me a lot of Stardew Valley) and Fossilfuel 2, and possibly Parkasaurus. The rest of the bundle seems rather weak though.

Personally, I think it's worth it just for Prehistoric Kingdom alone. It's weird they did not include any of the Jurassic World Evolution titles here though :huh: or ARK
