Nice. StS is one of my favourite games.

I played and liked the demo that was available a couple of weeks ago. It is certainly something I'd consider buying and want to have in my library. However, this style of game isn't really my thing, so I'm holding off for now.

Valve's decision to make Steam Deck repair not locked-down and give the end-consumer choice in how to deal with it - should be fully applauded.

This is one of the problems with lots of technology today - The manufacturer makes it especially difficult to repair and use the device the way you want. After you buy the product, it should be 100% your product, and not still under control of the original manufacturer.

Mobile phones should *not* be glued together. Independent repair people and you should be able to buy replacement parts.

Quoting: x_wingOr just run this in the folder with the data to upload:

 
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 5555

And open in the deck browser YOUR_HOST_IP:5555

or python -m http.server 5555 for when your system is defaulting to python3.

Quoting: Dribbleondo

Quoting: g000hno store and no adverts, muhahaha.

...Heroic has a store built in for EGS, and what do you mean by adverts?

Hey there. Thanks for the correction. I've revisited the Heroic Launcher (Bear in mind that it is brand new to me) and I note that the Stores are squirreled away in a separate tag menu i.e. Yes, they are available but no they aren't "in your face" when you want to access to your game library.

When I launch Epic client on Windows, I get presented immediately with a store front and typically there are video adverts for the various games. Noting that I load up the Windows Epic client very rarely.

Actually, I ended up being gobsmacked by this. I have been avoiding Lutris and other launchers thus far. But I have been picking up all the freebies from Epic, so I decided for once - I'm going to give this a try (finally).

I run Debian 11 Bullseye, and rather than download the repository, I decided to pick up the AppImage release instead. Make the file executable, install zstd ( sudo apt install zstd ) and then run it. Instantly, it is as if I have the Epic client on my Linux desktop, and when I choose to install a game, it pulls it down and sets up all the Wine/DXVK/Prefix settings automatically - so the Windows game is ready to play on Linux.

Tried two games in my Epic stash - both worked fine. Heroic launcher is like what Epic launcher would have been for Linux but better - no store and no adverts, muhahaha.

Definitely getting this one. It fills 3 entries from my wishlist, and I'll probably be happy with the others.

Noting that 1279 of the 2420 titles (games + dlc) are Linux native (or at least Proton whitelisted).

Nice that there is a demo for Linux on Steam to try out now. And the game is pretty promising as well (wishlisted).

Funnily enough I watched SplatterCatGaming on Youtube, playing this title only a day or two ago ;)

It looks okay, quite engaging.
