Time to join the dual-monitor club again, after 5 years away from it. :woot: So good to be back.

Now to save up for that third monitor… :happy:

Quoting: BlackBloodRumValve just remembered they have a mobile app! :shock:

With that said, I hope it doesn't interfere with the current 2FA system too much - as with the current system I have it working in KeePassXC and don't require the app every time I need to login on my desktop (which is frequent due to my VPN)

So hopefully they haven't changed / altered the 2FA code system.

Does that handle entering the code for you? That's pretty slick.

Quoting: constRemember that setting up a workshop for such complicated devices is also a hefty optimization goal with room for experiments and failures... They probably started with 1-3 lanes and now that they have a blueprint, they can scale by adding more lanes. I'd guess that setting up new lanes worked much quicker then they expected and that enabled the explosion in production. Among other things. :)

This now makes me want a manufacturing logistics game about ramping up Steam Deck production to feed an insatiable customer base while dealing with supply chain issues. Make it happen, Valve! :grin:

I'm not 100% on board with the art style, but I do like the description. I've already got it on my wishlist, we'll see how it develops.

Ok, I like that concept for the trailer, that's a new one, and pretty funny. I haven't played for over a year now what with life being busy and not having time to really commit to long-form games, but I did like the previous airports DLC even if I never got around to buying it, so maybe when this releases it'll be time to pick up both and jump back in. :smile:

Quoting: MasterSleortEvery time they "ramp up production" and are able to deliver more fast to customers, I fear that it is because too many people have cancelled their order.

I personally don't see a problem with that? All it does it change who gets Decks, not how many are produced. Valve know they have a winner on their hands, they're not going to suddenly stop production even it a bunch of people cancel their reservations (which be for all kinds of reasons). And if anything, it ensures Decks are getting into the hands of people who really want them and are likely to be more favorable and spread glowing reviews about them to their friends rather than people who were on the fence. :grin:

Wow, that art style reminds me quite a lot of The Wandering Village.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWait, in XCOM 2 the aliens already won before the beginning? I feel like I was playing a different game.

We are talking about the same game, right?

I . . . guess not.

Oh, OK! :grin:

To get somewhat back on topic, given how much I've enjoyed XCOM 1/2/CS, I'll have to keep an eye on Capes.

We are talking about the same game, right? In XCOM 2 you start out as a tiny resistance force of rag-tag soldiers fighting from an underdog position needing to rely on stealth and ambushes, in a world that's been conquered and occupied by aliens for decades (long enough to reshape some cities into gleaming futuristic Utopian visions and let others crumble into zombie Lost-filled ruins) trying to reconnect with other resistance forces around the world to ultimately forge a strong enough resistance force to drive off the aliens* and retake Earth.

**Well, the Elders/Ethereals mainly – XCOM: Chimera Squad reveals a whole lot of the various aliens ended up settling down on Earth and integrating.

Capes is set in a world where the villains won, brutally. Two decades later, a new generation of heroes are rising up and that's where you come in. […]and it all seems a little XCOM[…]

That's basically the plot of XCOM 2, with superheroes. :smile: Which is not a bad thing, XCOM 2 is pretty high up there in my list of most-played games.
