Dead Cells gets a huge free accessibility upgrade

Just because this options exist doesn't mean you have to or even SHOULD take them if you don't have some kind of impairment. So nothing is taken away from you.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThis makes zero sense to me. Not sure I get what you are talking about here.You argue that having shortcuts in the game devalues your achievements. That is only true though if you somehow are compulsively forced to go the easy route.

Just because cheat codes existed as long as i can remember (and i had access to them in the magazines back then), i never felt the need to take that shortcut if i was determined to beat the game either...
I think it's not fair to limit the validity of the use of accessibility options to "actual" disabilities. There are people out there that just don't have the reaction time or motor skills to master such a gamne - and there is nothing they can do about it, no matter how hard they train. Why exclude those people just because you tend to take shortcuts, just because they exist?

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThat's like saying you should never strive to get good at anything because shortcuts exist and someone will use them, which would then invalidate or lower your own accomplishments.Other people's "admiration" (read: bragging rights) should also not be you sole motivation to invest time into getting better. If achievements are the only thing that motivates you to dig into a difficult game, you really should work on your self-sufficiency.
Other people's inadequacies should never serve as an excuse for your own.

No cables and more resolution? Yes please!
Although for the latter the 4000/7000 GPUs would need to perform considerably better than expected to really be practical ^^

BeamNG.drive gets experimental Native Linux support

Don't get me wrong, i'm all for proper native versions! But compared to abandoned and/or poorly done native versions, proton is the better option.
So depending on the rules on how/when proton is prefered on the Deck (personally have never noticed a native game being run by default on proton?), it might actually be the "safer" option ^^

Quoting: slaapliedjeThere is a problem I'm seeing though. Games that have native ports being installed using Proton by default on Deck.I must admit this does have some merit, especially for older games. I've had several instances where the native version wouldn't work (at all or properly, mainly controller-issues) but running it with proton worked like a charm.

Sounded like fun, just tried it out with three friends. Gameplay surely needs some more finetuning, it somehow doesn't "feel right" yet imho...
Worked well though.

Great first impression - doesn't finish loading neither in chromium nor in vivaldi...
But if it would work, this would be a great way to provide demos imho - after all, downloading 100GB to test a game for 10min is kind of excessive ;)

After their disappointing stance towards Linux after D:OS EE, it is surely nice to hear.

haven't played MWO in ages (i guess since i abandoned windows in 2016?) - maybe time to give it another go then ^^

Considering how extremely well the past titles' native version ran, this still is nowhere near a state i would consider paying more than 5 bucks in a sale for...
Just a real shame considering their previous track record...

On top of that, you can activate and deactivate which owned DLCs should be used in the steam properties if that's your concern.

Quoting: STiATCan you buy that and just unlock the DLCs if you have some of them?Usually they are all separate keys, so you can only redeem the ones you don't already own.
I have about half the DLCs, but the rest struck me sometimes as too heavy.
