thethirdobject, do games w Microsoft - keep your filthy hands off Valve, leak shows MSFT would buy Valve

there was an interesting take about that on the wan show (not ms but steam). the emphasis was on steam’s value, which is unknown but actually very high

Magusbear, do gaming w ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON rated Steam Deck Playable ahead of release

Checks out. The hardware requirements aren’t that much different from Elden Ring and that game runs pretty good on the Steam Deck as well

toxicbubble, do games w Vampire Survivors co-op and new game engine upgrade is live

also out on switch!

conciselyverbose, (edited ) do pcgaming w Baldur's Gate 3 is going to get some big updates

The game's great, but they should fix the inventory (is a complete mess, seems one from a game in the '90), the font size of the UI and they should let me see the cards/stats of every member of my party, even the ones which are in my camp, so I can decide what items or enhancements are best suited for them.

This is basically my only nitpick, too, playing with a controller. D:OS2 was better. I don't need the character stuff taking up half the screen of inventory management, especially when it isn't done in a way that really enhances your information on the utility of equipment to your character.

Inventory should be its own section, so you can use the triggers to hop between tabs of different types of gear. I'd also like it if they took inspiration from Elden Ring for what it does display on the characters. It's also not perfect, but letting you cycle which info sheets show in the extra panes provides a good balance between making a lot of information readily accessible without making it a chore to find.

Yaaay to Phasmophobia.

TheiaTheMoonMaker, do gaming w GOG Summer Sale 2023 is live with giveaways and game deals
@TheiaTheMoonMaker@beehaw.org avatar

If you’re interested in 4X games at all Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is only $1.49. It absolutely holds up and to this day probably still has the best story of any 4X game.

It also works great on Steamdeck with a couple of easy tweaks. Unfortunately the instructions for those tweaks are currently in Reddit blackout shutdown limbo so I can’t copy them here, but when the blackout ends you can Find The Instructions Here.

Debs, do games w Terraria hits over 60 million sales with Terraria 1.4.5 shaping up to be another big update

Has anyone played this with a controller? It seems like the aiming would be awkward.

bluewing, do games w Linux hits exactly 2% user share on the October 2024 Steam Survey

Whelp, I ain’t helping the cause. I might be running Fedora on both my computers, but I can’t be bothered to game.

FreeDoom isn’t a game, it’s a lifestyle

Mammothmothman, do games w Terraria hits over 60 million sales with Terraria 1.4.5 shaping up to be another big update

Crap there goes my evening.

Lucidlethargy, do games w Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages

Is this a Linux problem? I’ve never had to look for this detail before in Windows.

It does prevent Linux compatibility, but even if it didn’t, it’s a computer security problem, for those who care. You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.

raspberriesareyummy,

You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.

Put like that, makes it even more obvious how insanely stupid slash desperate slash addicted some gamers are, doesn’t it?

CheeseNoodle,

Most gamers don’t know that easy anti-cheat is a rootkit to begin with.

raspberriesareyummy,

is “easy anti-cheat” a brand name? Or was that just your wording?

CheeseNoodle,
raspberriesareyummy,

Well - if people still trust any piece of software coming from Epic…

trigonated,

Mostly, and even some Windows users don’t want to install software that has such a great amount of permission over the entire system just for a game’s anti-cheat.

It’s nice that users can now know beforehand if a game uses such software. Avoids refunds.

bay400,

Unless, of course, they add it months after release drastically limiting your chances of refunding (looking at you EA WRC 2024 😡)

trigonated,

That sucks : (

michaelmrose,

If they change the deal they should have to offer refunds. This makes it an expensive choice after the fact.

michaelmrose,

No its common for anti-cheat on Windows to have full root permission to your entire system Windows users are just on average less intelligent, less concerned about privacy, and, more ignorant about technology. This doesn’t mean using Windows makes you stupid its just the OS of choice for the stupid and ignorant.

nforminvasion,

Holy logical fallacy batman. Ad hominem much?

michaelmrose,

Ad hominem isn’t when you insult people AND make an argument its when you insult people INSTEAD of making an argument.

User initially believes that this is only a Linux issue because its almost entirely discussed on forums frequented by technical people who often use Linux whereas forums full of Windows gamers are equally effected but ignorant of the topic.

ouch, do games w Oxenfree is being completely removed from itch.io in October

I sent email to oxenfree@nightschoolstudio.com and told them in no uncertain words that what they are doing is illegal, and asked how they are going to fix the situation.

If I can find time to, I’ll see about contacting the local consumer protection organisation.

What law does this break?

bjoern_tantau, do games w Next Heroic Games Launcher release to include initial GOG Galaxy support
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Nice, i wonder if that also means that we won’t have to download the installers or can just download all of the game files directly. Should make installing big games a lot faster and also help with limited disk space.

fhein, do games w Sci-fi racing platformer Distance gets a surprise update with Steam Deck improvements

Hooray, I can finally play it. Had it on my wish-list for years, when I finally bought it I found out that neither the native Linux or the Windows+Proton version was working.

lemmyvore, do games w Sci-fi racing platformer Distance gets a surprise update with Steam Deck improvements

I wonder if it works with a joystick…
