I've been spending way too much time building in Satisfactory. First big building done, but still needs some flair.

I've also been going through Beneath a Steel Sky again before diving into its follow-up.

Interesting, never heard that about Steam. I suppose this is a problem with only taking a superficial look at a game. I initially did the same thing and left it for a while until I got it at a discount. Actually playing it demonstrated how good it actually is and I've hoarded their games since.

I would highly recommend playing. Just a note, it gets brutally hard later on. So hard that I haven't finished it yet (and I refuse to look up solutions).

Still doing more 7 Days to Die, Satisfactory and Factorio like the weeks before. However, I've also gone back to doing some Graveyard Keeper. Bought the DLC back when it released, but hadn't played it yet. Some mindless grind for a tired evening while getting some actual story about the history of the place.

Still need to finish the second one, so I could use some extra time :) Still, hoping a certain Dutch expression will not be applicable.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIf you want something well done, do it yourself... I think the community should develop HL3.
How about letting the community finish this one [External Link] first! Open source projects do tend to take their time.

Haven't played it in a while. Need to dust of my wheels and do so again! I did prepare by buying the remaining map/gameplay DLC during the last sale.

Quoting: LinuxwarperI reckon this will be accurate depiction of how gamers on Windows will react once EAC support is solidified:


Such good news. Especially the part about not wanting to circumvent EAC, so likely hood of it being blocked is low.
All Linux users will be thrown into icy waters? :tongue:

I'm curious to see the response of EAC. Will they be satisfied that this method serves the purpose of EAC, or will they feel that "hiding" the Linux system behind it is a circumvention in itself. I have no doubt that some people behind the scenes are looking closely at what is happening.

The good news is, Valve don't sound done with Half-Life and that they're "not afraid of Half-Life no more" and future projects might even be outside of VR for the rest of us.
I'd rather prefer the opposite happened, that VR became cheap, accessible and compatible so that everybody would buy one set and enjoy the immersion and gameplay additions it offers.
While that might be true, VR is not a replacement for games. It is a separate thing with separate games. One thing is very clear to me is that there is no way to have both a normal and VR version. One will suffer because of the other. And since most of us don't really want to be wearing a headset all of the time, we need both to be a thing regardless of the price of VR systems.

I watched the video (without sound) and I have no idea what I just saw. So definitely different.

I picked up Dicey Dungeons [External Link]. Only played the first "show", but it is good fun. And picked up the Puppygames Ultrabundle [External Link] because I will have to try Basingstoke at some point. And a few more that I don't quite remember :D
