Quoting: BrokattTruth is telemetry is really useful for developers and without it's way too easy to make the wrong assumptions.

And it is even easier to make wrong assumptions due to telemetry. Calling it a double-edged sword even with consent is putting it mildly.

No to unnecessary systemd services. That's just adding bloat.

One of the first negative reviews mentioning Linux has more than 1050 hours of playtime. Also one with more than 2100 hours.

Quoting: wytrabbitIt's very maze-like, and I get the feeling navigation is supposed to be more intuitive with repetition, but I just can't do it.

It does look non-intuitive if it isn't played in a single sitting.

Is it really that bad? I've read that several times and so far it has kept me from buying the game.

Everyone should own Sonic Mania – probably the best game of the franchise.

Much too expensive with the included punish the buyer technology. With Denuvo the price should be a lot less than 1 €.

Interesting idea. But I've watched an earlier video and that seems more fun:

Well… it's been a mixed bag with too many games that felt lacklustre this time around.

The only new to me game that really stood out for me is the one with the murder on a train (Loco Motive), but that is a definite buy when it is done. Great writing, graphics and humour (a bit like Day of the Tentacle, but slightly more subtle).

The demo for Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders was nice as well, but there have been some performance hits on the SteamDeck and that's been on my wishlist for some time. They explicitly mention that the demo might be removed after the end of the festival for some more polish. I assume that there will be a demo available when the game is finished similar to Lonely Mountains: Downhill.
