it does drop Banana Steam Items every so often and everyone then dumps them onto the Steam Marketplace hoping to make some extra cash, which you can then use to buy Steam games

So basically all the downsides of the modern usage of NFTs (speculation, dubious valuation, Ponzi scheme) without any of the upsides (decentralization, no vendor lock-in, potentially lower transaction fees).

That's where my mind went as well. Great way to waste electricity if people are leaving their computer on specifically to farm those items.

I'd say it has an upside that the NFTs don't, though, and it's fundamental: The game is free.

I seem to recall that I don't really like Garry Newman for a couple of reasons, but in this case I think he's right.

I mean, more broadly I think our economy should be wildly different and treat creators, copyrights and so forth in wildly different ways. But at the moment, it isn't, and there's no reason to expect a company to let people get away with blatantly violating their copyright.

Turn-based combat, eh? Yes, I am quite interested.

Definitely wishlisting this.

I think I'm a bit too much of a weirdo for this game. This kind of "put yourself in someone's life where nothing much is happening" doesn't resonate much with me because all my tastes and interests are going to be quite different; the characters are going to be busy caring about stuff I always find a waste of time and not caring about stuff I feel is important, liking music I think is between bland and annoying, and so on.

"So, who gets the inheritance? What were his last words?"
"Best HoMM to me."
"WTF?! Oh well, time to lawyer up I guess."

Quoting: ThyuchevTo sell on kickstarter, a game has to have plastic miniatures. Making the molds is costy.

These days couldn't you use a high-end 3d printer?

Good advice. I didn't want to come to work today anyway.

What have you been playing recently that you think is worth mentioning? Do you have any issues with the Steam Deck Verified rating on something? Let me know in the comments.

I recently played Borderlands 2 on Steam Deck and it crashed constantly with every Proton version I tried, it's supposed to be verified.

Shouldn't Borderlands 2 be running natively?

It does, with even more crashes.

Maybe it just crashes a lot, on whatever OS.
