Quoting: Eike

Quoting: ValckAnother part of the equation may be that usually software comes with a complete and fairly decent English localization, if it wasn't translated from there to begin with.

Is that true, though? I remember Debian making an effort to translate its texts into proper English, as large parts had been written by non-native speakers... Opinions from native speakers on this?

Well, I'm a native English speaker* and I've been using Debian since 2016, and I can't say I've ever run across any text that struck me as odd, so…I guess it worked?

*And a bit of a pedant when it comes to grammar. :whistle:

OK, that's pretty funny, though I hope you get better translations in the future! :smile:

Something not mentioned in the article, it apparently has on-line co-op, which definitely makes it a bit more attractive to me. I've downloaded the demo on my Deck to try it out. I like the idea of explosive gel, that's an interesting twist.

Added favorite and popular guides to the Steam Overlay for easy access

Sweet! Sometimes it's nice to be able to have a guide open and switch back and forth to it, and now I can do it on my Deck. :wub:

I remember coming across this years ago (though after the Kickstarter, and possibly post-dev burnout), and I still remember being inspired by one of the descriptions about why it was being made, which to paraphrase went something like "Procedural generation has a bad reputation because it often gives boring results. But that's not a limitation of procedural generation itself, it just means we need to develop better algorithms for it." (In the same way that early 3D games often looked bad, not because 3D was inherently bad, but because the tech hadn't matured yet.) While proc gen is obviously not something for every game (just as amazing 2D games continue to be made, there'll always be a need for hand-made content), I think in the intervening years we've started to see some of those "better algorithms" come about, making for some really interesting and fun games where proc gen gets used (I've spent hundreds of hours in Noita, for instance). Glad to see the code get open-sourced and excited to see what comes about from it.

Huh, weird, I haven't had a single crash in ~1.75 hours playing on the Deck (in "game mode"). Odd that there'd be that difference between two Decks.

Quoting: ShmerlGood to see AMD GPUs usage finally almost catching up to Nvidia! In a few months it will probably get ahead :)

Wow. I'll probably be adding to the AMD-swing sometime next year when I see about upgrading my (by then ~4 year-old) GPU.

I also wonder how (if) the Intel market share is going to be changing in the near future with their new GPUs.

Must remember to change my monitor settings next month, since I've finally got a second monitor on its way after almost 5 years of doing without. :smile:

Wow, really sounds a lot like a 3D version of Webbed (not a bad thing). The ability to climb is a nice distinguishing touch, though.

Quoting: PhiladelphusUnfortunately it doesn't seem to transfer saves across devices, I was going to continue on my PC with graphics at max but only had the option to start a new game. Maybe I'll do it for a future replay.

It's supposed to, it had Steam Cloud support.

I am an idiot, it does. I was expecting a "Continue" or "Load game" option on the main menu, but it's simply behind the "Start game" button. It's all good now. :smile:

Added Achievements page to overlay (while in-game press Steam button)

Oh, cool, I'd been missing a way to quickly check achievements in game (either to check on one I wanted to go for, or to see which one I just got).

Fixed notification for claiming digital rewards firing endlessly for some customers

Thank goodness, that was really starting to get on my nerves*. Definitely downloading this ASAP! :grin:

*A few minutes into each play session, "You have unclaimed Deck rewards!", despite me claiming them the first time it came up and the notification doing nothing other than taking me to my profile page.
