Halls of Torment is still probably the best survivor-like with The Boglands DLC and free update out now

I played the DLC yesterday and it's great, more quests to finish and three new characters to play with. So long my free time! :-D

Humble Choice for November 2025 has Total War: WARHAMMER III
5 Nov 2025 at 1:03 pm UTC

I really love TW: Warhammer (all 3 games), but I stopped playing it after switching to Steam Deck as the 3 is unsupported and runs really badly.

Maybe when I switch from Steam Deck to something else I will get back to it.

Looking forward to this one, I played the first one multiple times and it was great.

Maybe the UK (and the world) should start looking into what all these predatory monetization schemes are doing to the brains of their precious children instead of trying to police public forums and pushing the real problems further out of reach.
I assume that just treating every game with loot box monetization technique as gambling would be enough. As plenty of countries already has a lot gambling laws in place. Like 18+ or not able to advertise publicly etc.

Good thing publishers don't care about old games, imagine non-heterosexual relations being patched out of Dragon Age, Mass Effect,...
Looking at the recent Dragon Age, I would rather assume that remakes of those old games will just make them more woke with talks about coffee and how it hurts when you misgender someone. :-D

It seems like most companies bought out by "investment consortiums" tend to tank. All these investment groups seem to care about is "raping and pillaging" their acquisitions, rather than long term management.
They are investment companies, so they only care about profit. So it always depends what is more profitable for them.

How to setup OpenMW for modern Morrowind on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck
30 Sep 2025 at 7:49 am UTC

I started playing OpenMW on my steam deck, and syncing my game saves between my deck and PC with syncthing a while ago. The experience is so nice! Highly recommended.
How good it is with gamepad?

SteamOS 3.7.15 brings fixes for ROG Ally, Legion Go, wake-on-bluetooth returns for Steam Deck LCD and more

I'm excited that they returned wake-on-bluetooth to LCD version, it was really annoying when they disabled it. I usually have Steam Deck connected to TV and using external gamepad and it was really a life improvement to just wake it with the gamepad itself :-)

GOG did a little upgrade to their user reviews system

Have you tried adding them to Steam and then launching them from there? There’s a dedicated option for that in Heroic. This allows the games to use Steam’s controller interface. I play games from my GOG library quite often on Steam Deck and everything works perfectly once I add a game to Steam.
I didn't tried Heroic for a long time, so maybe that wasn't available at the time. I will probably try it again, it looks definitely better than GOG Galaxy.

In the past I've made sure to WIRE up the gamepad to the Plasma KDE system which has a gamepad section in settings, and THEN all games detected just fine. If you rely on proton to do it all for you, then perhaps that's the issue.
Maybe you are right, but will this work in Gamescope on Steam Deck?
