Discounty comes out in a few days:

store.steampowered.com/app/2274620/Discounty/

I played the demo and it is a lot of fun.

can we get much higher?

emeralddawn45, do gaming w How much does storage speed affect your games?

I expected a much bigger hit to performance when i got a 1TB sd card for my steamdeck and initially only was putting small indie games on there, but after gradually moving up to higher performance games and not really noticing a hit, i just throw everything on there now. I think most games these days are more limited by other factors than storage speed.

I support you. Roblox is awful and I dont let my kid play it even though that apparently makes me a monster according to people on the internet who know how to raise my child better than I do.

Modern_medicine_isnt,

It’s a tough thing. I let him play on it because that is where the very few friends he has are. I did hold out as long as I could. He is autistic, so any interaction with neurotypical kids is good for him. But he can also be a pretty stringent rule follower, so I setup rules for interacting with anyone not a friend he knows personally. And he follows them. In general he doesn’t like playing with rando’s at all. So it works out to be “okay”. Not great. But “okay”. I just don’t want to make me an account, cause then he will want me to play all the lame money grabbing games with him and such.

All in all. If you kid manages to have social interactions with other kids without roblox. Then there is no need for it. Nearly all of the games on there are just money grab pay-to-play games.

Cris16228,

After the recent news about the CEO supporting paedophiles, I would have done the same. Don’t feel bad.

short answer: buy NVMe. plug it directly into your motherboard, don’t use an enclosure. forget about wonky RAID0 crap.

longer answer:

SATA SSDs (which you say in the comments below are all you’ve got) are an evolutionary dead-end. they’re SSDs pretending to be very fast hard drives. they end up being bottlenecked by the assumptions that the SATA protocol makes about how fast a hard drive can be.

look at this chart for example. SATA (AHCI) limits a device to having 32 commands queued up at once, which means the operating system needs to jump through hoops in terms of maintaining its own queue of pending reads & writes and issuing them to the device as queue space becomes available.

NVMe raises that limit to 64k, which for any non-server workload is effectively unlimited. the NVMe drive can respond to IO requests pretty much as quickly as the OS can dispatch them.

if you want to know more nitty-gritty details, Scaling ZFS for NVMe is an interesting talk, much of it isn’t specific to ZFS, but instead is about how NVMe devices are so fast that they’re forcing filesystem developers to rethink long-standing assumptions about drives being slow.

What is 99 days in the forest, for those of us who have never looked at a Roblox game?

Modern_medicine_isnt,

Well I haven’t actually played it. But you start out in the center of a forest. You have a fire. You collect would to level up the fire. That opens more space in the forest… you collect things, level up things, find things… there is a random deer that attacks you at night or something. And some wolves at some point. But unlike raft, satisfactory or Minecraft it is a shorter overall play through. And the forest is different each time. So you play until you die or win. But it doesn’t let you save, which is annoying for me, even if a play through should only take an hour or so.
I am open to other ideas as well. We have put many many hours into raft. Also satisfactory, minecraft, tf2 (though my wife doesn’t like that one :) )

Creativity,

I can’t think of any short playthrough games off the top of my head, but Valheim might work if you’re open to something longer.

cwista,

Sounds like Don’t Starve Together

After looking at the game’s page, I’d say you could try Raft. It’s a generally chill survival/crafting game with multiplayer co-op. There is wildlife that can present a threat, but it’s definitely not as horror-y as 99 days looks.

I can't wait to play this on my steam deck. The emulators are almost there :)

God, I’m so damn excited for this to get an Emulator to play it on. I’m wondering it being so similar to the Switch 1 will speed up the process because of the similarity or not

Lol don’t think I’ve played one. What would you recommend as the first?

I would have said Super Mini Mart when I started this thread but then @Kolanaki mentioned Supermarket Simulator and I've been playing it ever since (13hrs so far lol). It's got a few issues out of the box, including some oddly loud chirpy bird sounds but also has such an active nexus mod community that you can pretty much fix anything you want that you don't like in it (including those damn birds😆). Id' say give either that or Super Mini Mart a go. The inKonbini prologue demo is great too.

Not as roguelike, but maybe Don’t Starve Together?

I hear and see good things about Phasmaphobia.

Played a few of the lego games with my kids, like avengers and Harry potter. They have heaps of save points and were easy enough for my 5yr old to get through but still fun for me as well.

Saleh, do gaming w What game(s) could you not get into but with a handheld device you started to like the game(s)

I know it is a bit of a silly answer but here we go:

My brother had installed a game-boy emulator on the family PC when my parents had prohibited gameboys from the house. My older siblings bought some though and hid them, but i was too young for that. (They also didn’t tell me).

Anyways, so at the time Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire was the hot shit. I played Ruby on the emulator and i loved it. There was just one problem. The “nebula” animation that is transparent in the gameboy version was solid in the emulator. When i entered a cave i had to find a way to pass it blindly. This was before we had proper internet access at home, so i couldn’t look up the cave layout.

I had to gave up after the second gym or so. When i got older and my grandma bought me a gameboy, i played Ruby like crazy as i finally could progress.

Slay the Spire. Never really got into it until I installed it on my Steam Deck.
