Nice. Not the worst abuse I've seen though. That honour goes to the dev that renamed their games to prefix them with !" in order to get sorted on top.

Hobo Cat Adventures features dark humour and souls-like combat - now on Linux

Souls inspired lock-on combat system
I despise lock-on systems. This is something for controller play, not for MKB play and I hate that some games feel that it is necessary to force it on MKB players.

Tried playing this game, but the controls are too awkward for me and eventually just left it.

Valve gives the Discovery Queue a makeover to help you find your next game

The main problem of the discovery queue is probably the same as that of the "More like this" section. Some of the matches are completely outrageous. Go to the "Beat Saber" page, more like this .... Assetto Corsa. Right. If it can't do that right, the queue can't do any better.

That said, I've occasionally found things in the queue that I had never heard about and were interesting, so even now it has been useful.

I'm actually amazed about all the stuff that seems to be implemented already. Not bad for a kickstarter!

Want! As a fan of Zachtronics games, I can only hope that at some point in the future he feels a burning desire to create more.

Tried the web version for a bit. It's ok, but still too close to an idle game to keep me interested. However, it seems to be a good full featured version that works well as a demo.

More reasons to keep my todo list smaller! I like it!

Steam Deck gets a set of nice bug fixes in a new client update

Quoting: Guest
Quoting: brokkrI recently encountered a nasty bug where my Deck was unable to shut down (the shutting down animation just kept playing) and all I could do was to leave it overnight to drain the battery.

Does anyone know if Valve are inviting users to report bugs? On Github or elsewhere?

(The presumed reason: trying to launch the installed itch.io launcher, added as a non-steam game, from the Game UI, being unable to abort or kill it when it didn't open, then unsuccesfully trying to fix it with a shutdown)
Most mainboards have implemented a "hold the power button down for 10s" to kill the power. Laptops especially needed this when batteries were unable to be easily removed, and it's basically carried on in most hardware. I would imagine this handheld has something similar (I don't have one, no intention of getting one, but I'd be very surprised if such a feature wasn't implemented).
It does. I've had to use it once when the initial update failed to progress.
