The Steam Deck % is deceptive, at least in my case, as it only computes the gameplay while being online and that has been the way I used it the most this year (flights and commuting).

I didn't know that Grand Theft Auto was the sequel to Minecraft.

With all due respect, for me Minecraft is not a game

No, seriously, I thought GTA was the first xD

I guess this game will have at least 50% of the audio in Spanish, being based in Miami?

Get a bunch of JRPGs and Uplifting Adventures in these game bundles

Not the longest name I've seen for a Japanese game, but those two colons in the title makes my OCD go wild.

So what the heck is an 'indie game' nowadays anyway?

Quoting: KimyrielleStrictly spoken, any game that's developed by a studio not fully independent in their decisions is not an indie game. Which is funnily why Baldur's Gate 3 (a clear AAA title) qualifies as indie, because Larian is a fully independent studio, despite its size.

The community seems to have adopted a slightly altered definition of the term, though. An indie game seems to be anything that's a labor of love and has the "Not made by big business" vibe to it.

That's not entirely correct. During BG3's development, I believe, Larian sold 30% of the business to Tencent.

It's mentioned here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IaCcTD_wKk

Aside of that, strictly speaking, Larian did not have full independence with BG3. I'm pretty sure Hasbro and WotC had requirements too.

From wishlist, only It takes two had over 50% discount (my rule to purchase something I had not intended to that month or a full price) so just got it. Perhaps next month there are a few more.

I also tend to clean my wishlist of items to keep it not bigger than 30 to reduce fomo, over spending and stress if I can't finish a game in good time (looking at you, Baldur's Gate 3)

Quoting: ArehandoroAfter this update + hotfix 11, not sure which one broke it, BG3 doesn't work any more :(
Proton Hotfix was just updated to fix that.

Was it updated only for the Deck? I can launch the game there but not on my desktop.

EDIT: There is a workaround, from Larian, that fixes it by selecting the beta release_patch4_hf1 or bleeding edge, whichever appears for you.
