Thank you Liam for the "heads up" on this Steam Deck sale!
I have never seriously considered purchasing a Steam Deck. The Steam Deck articles in GoL were interesting, but I only gave them a cursory glance. Then why, within five minutes after reading this article, did I clicked the "PURCHASE" button for a Steam Deck LCD 512GB? These 11 words are the reason:

...the higher model is a ridiculously good price with the sale.

These words made me realize I absolutely had to a Steam Deck NOW!
I am very happy with my decision and cannot wait for my new Steam Deck to arrive!

Thanks again Liam!

Happy Birthday to GoL.
GoL is my GoTo source for Linux gaming. Thanks to you, Liam, I am a well-informed Steam user.
Time to celebrate!

Apogee!
I know they are only the publisher of this game, but I remember when they were developers. I have fond memories of playing hours of Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem II on MS-DOS. They also did the publishing of one of my favorite games, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure [External Link]. I played more of Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure than I did of the Duke Nukem series. If time allows, I will be downloading the Quest Master demo this evening to give it a spin.

Interesting to Note:

I just noticed that Hi-Fi Rush [External Link] is a game in the Humble Choice for May [External Link].

Quoting: SparhawkLittle Computer People

Thank you for reminding me of Little Computer People [External Link]. I played this game with my children on the Commodore 64.

One interesting thing mentioned in the Wikipedia article is:

Copy protection
In pirated copies of the game on the Atari ST (and possibly other platforms) the game would load, but the character would simply stand knocking on the screen and wagging a finger at the player disapprovingly.

I know this was not the case on the Commodore 64 version... Not that my copy of the game was pirated, of course.

Thanks for alerting us to this sale. I likely would have missed it. I have worked for decades for an organization that serves people with disabilities. I would have been very disappointed if I had missed the opportunity to support this charity. In addition, I picked up a copy of No Mans's Sky [External Link] for 50% off. Win-Win. This game has been on my wishlist for years.

When I think of Snap, I immediately think of the American military acronym SNAFU [External Link].

A couple questions for those more knowledgeable than I on the subject of Minecraft launchers...

For years I have been using MultiMC [External Link]. Prism Launcher has a very similar interface. I have never used ATLauncher, GDLauncher or Prism Launcher. Since MultiMC is also open source, I was thinking that perhaps Prism Launcher is a fork of MultiMC or vise versa. Is this a valid assumption?

Every few months I invite all the grandchildren over to play Minecraft. I have eight laptops that use MultiMC as the launcher for Minecraft. We have one of the laptops as the host and the rest of the kids connect over the LAN. It is a great time! What (if any) are the advantages to using Prism Launcher over MultiMC?

Thank you Liam for bringing this game to my attention. My favorite demo on Next Fest was ViewFinder [External Link]. After watching the YouTube video, I decided Paper Trail has the same vibe.
