Relaxing poolside sim Placid Plastic Duck Simulator gets new DLC

The most interesting thing I see on the store page is that this new DLC is not actually listed in the "Content for this game" section. Didn't that was even possible. It is listed in the bundle though, so I can still confirm its existence!

Unity CEO John Riccitiello is leaving 'effective immediately'

Quoting: Grogan
Quoting: EhvisAnd nothing of value was lost.
Yeah, it's not a CEO that does the work... only implements policies to make investors/shareholders money. This is not necessarily aligned with making good products.
Exactly, and this guy in particular has shown on many occasions that he has no moral compass, no love for the products his company is making and no respect for the customers of those companies. In my eyes he's completely unfit to lead. But I guess greedy shareholders see things differently. Makes me glad that a company like Valve is still privately owned.

Thought I'd play a bunch of demos tonight. Only managed The Talos Principle 2. :grin: A bit on the heavy side, but still manageable on my 5 year old machine. Unlike a certain robocop game.

Picked it up recently. The game feels like a top view minecraft.

Valve fix up more SteamVR 2.0 Beta issues
5 Oct 2023 at 2:35 pm UTC

Quoting: CorbenSomehow VR on Linux is currently completely broken for me. Even Steam VR stable. Though Steam VR 1.27.5 boots up, I cannot start any game anymore. Beat Saber (1.29 legacy), After The Fall, Until You Fall, Synth Riders... they all used to work like 2 weeks ago. When I tried it two days ago again, none of the games are starting anymore.
Haven't tried 2.0.3 beta yet, but the versions before didn't start for me at all.
Hopefully this gets resolved soon, I miss playing VR!
Are you on the Steam Client beta?

I did notice the release. Then also noticed that they didn't bother to add key rebinding since the demo, so I skipped it.

Any game with an online requirement should be flagged as incompatible with Steam Deck.

Quoting: Gueststatistic fluctuations happen, the overall trend is what matters. and to me, the growing plot looks not linear, but accelerating, like the beginning of parabola
Pretty much double linear. Did a quick estimate and pre-Steam deck growth is about 0.0065% per month, but after the Steam Deck release it is 0.033% per month. A pretty impressive change.

The big jump was never going to last. Just a statistical anomaly and it's reverting to the realistic trend line. To visualise the real effect of the Steam Deck, the trend line could be split to show the trend before and after the release of the Steam Deck.
