I love how every news article I see about Steam and Valve is a W

MajesticElevator,

They’re doing great

BUT we must remember that Valve runs a lucrative and immoral casino open to minors, and destroys lives this way

xavier666,

The Sun provides us with life, skin cancer, and heatwaves. Nothing is perfect.

MajesticElevator,

Sure but people need to speak up about this issue. It’s something disgusting any no one cares

Good changes all around, the torches are way more useful than they used to be.

RinseDrizzle,

Haven’t had a chance to hit em yet but excited to. Felt okayyyy if you were patient enough to play it slow. My problem in general is being greedy and trying to speed through, which usually does more harm than good.

FelixMortane, do games w 7 Days to Die is leaving Early Access

Lol, comments off on the youtube video…cowards.

I have hundreds of hours into this game, but man did this dev team wear me down and out. The constant, huge game changing development is the reason this has taken over 10 years to get to this point. Someone needed a bit better of exploration in their direction when they started.

Btw, GoG has about the same discounts.

And here’s a list of over 2000 games supporting Linux: www.gog.com/en/games?systems=linux

GOG games are DRM free ladies and gentlemen.

EDIT: Did anyone play Predynastic Egypt? Is it any good? I’m into strategy, economy, etc.

EDIT II: Music in the video of Project Hospital is awesome!

I am so tempted to pick up BG3 again (already have it on PS5). Anyone have experience with it on the SteamDeck?

MostlyHarmless,

I played it on Steam Deck. It was great. Act 3 was a bit slow, but I didn’t mind.

I am thinking of getting it on console so I can experience it with better resolution

9715698,

I played at release this year, but stopped midway through Act3. I need to pick it up again to finish it off.

Not on steam deck but I play it on Linux pc and ps5. One of the coolest things about it is cross save, you can save your game on pc or ps5 then continue from that same spot on the other platform.

CerineArkweaver,

Yah the Cross Save is the reason I want to get it on Deck, so I can play on the go 😊

Grass,

Some things are a bit small and apart from cutscene camera angles or really zoomed in there isn’t much detail visible on the characters. I played with kb/m inputs mapped to have better utilization of deck controls. Some low fps bits here and there but generally great.

SpacetimeMachine,

Do it. Mods can really enhance the game, adding new classes and mechanics.

vanquesse, do gaming w Bethesda is once again adding support for paid mods to Skyrim

It’s wild how many people who do not have mods published on nexus/workshop/bethesda are happy to speak on the behalf of modders.

pimento64,

I have mods published on the Nexus, and I feel confident in saying paid mods are degenerate and so are everyone who supports them.

Goronmon, do games w Bethesda is once again adding support for paid mods to Skyrim

In theory I’m not entirely against the idea of paid mods. I don’t necessarily buy that mods are more “pure” if no one is able to make money from them. And I do like the idea that people might invest more resources in mods than if they are effectively donating their time to the projects.

That said, things can definitely get complicated quickly once you start providing financial incentives. I think it’s smart to require mod makers to go through an approval process rather than just make it open.

@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

The perverse incentives alone can be enough to ruin the whole modding scene for the game

Goronmon,

Maybe, but people’s egos alone are enough to causing issues in the mod community, I’m not sure paid mods are necessarily going to make this significantly worse.

One or two egotistical modders don’t ruin the entire community unless those are the only modders in said community.

Greed ruins everything, though.

Not only would once free mods suddenly have a price tag, you’re gonna get a lot of bullshit shovelware mods flooding the scene trying to capitalize on the market.

paultimate14,

As long as they don’t take free mods away I’m fine with it.

9715698,

Apparently it’s broken SKSE, which is required for many many free mods.

Goronmon,

Many updates for Skyrim have broken SKSE. That’s not really a new problem. Hopefully they’ll be able to fix it just like they have in the past.

Zahille7,

So just wait a couple days after the update like normal?

Infrequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the deal with the Demo icon? Is that a plate? A vinyl record?

A. That classic icon, my friend, is from the days when demos were commonly distributed through the post office, contained in a bound package of game journalism printed on dead trees and imprinted on circular media known as Compact Discs.

Q. Some demos just appeared in my Steam library. How did those get there?

A. We’ve made some changes to visibility of demos in the Steam Library, which may effect demos that you played long ago. We’ve tried our best to clean up the demos that we expect you don’t care about anymore, but we may have missed some. You can easily remove those by right-clicking them in your Steam library and selecting manage > remove from account.

Q. I love free demos. When is the next Steam Next Fest?

A. Check back on October 14th for the next weeklong Steam Next Fest, featuring hundreds of new free playable demos! You can sign up for a reminder by visiting the Next Fest page now: store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfest

thingsiplay, do gaming w Changes in Forza Horizon 4’s Festival Playlist and Delisting from Digital Stores

Always sad to see a game getting delisted. But props to the devs to notify us about half a year in advance. Usually these delistings are instant without notification and then its too late for people who want to buy it. Now the game is at a good discount, 80%. If I had interest into the game and there was no FH5 on Steam, then I’d buy it.

Licensing issues with music can easily be patched out and replaced by other music. But what can they do about the cars? I guess a lifetime license for the games is too expensive, so it will be a limited license and then the delisting is only matter of time. Man this sucks.

theangriestbird,

it’s the car manufacturers that piss me off on this. Why is the license timed? Why isn’t it licensed on a “per game release” basis? What does Toyota lose if the 94 Celica is still driveable in a dead racing game from 10 years ago? It’s clearly a case of game devs having to acquiesce to the demands of stakeholders that don’t understand video games.

Haven’t had a chance to play this patch yet, but I’ll say I’m impressed at how much they are reworking already. Even going so far as to throw out certain hammers for example.

I attempted Trial of Haste pre-patch and quickly realized I stood no chance, neat to see that being adjusted.

Vow of Forsaking got the nerf treatment. Probably for the best.

RinseDrizzle,

Yeah Trial of Haste felt like a nonstarter for certain builds that weren’t minimaxed for DPS. Nearly had it once, being maybe 10s off the mark (which realistically means I could’ve had it) but not mad about the rework at all.

specialseaweed, do games w V Rising has launched out of Early Access!

I just want to play with a controller.

Lizardking27,

I just want to be able to pause the game when playing solo.

RizzRustbolt,

That freakish. What normal person wants that?

RampantParanoia2365,

I’m playing Baldur’s Gate 3, and I wish the same thing.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Put the game into turn based mode before you walk away.

RampantParanoia2365,

Really, it’s more about how cutscenes and dialogue keep playing if you pause. Not a huge deal, but sometimes things come up. If the game auto-saved periodically, this would be less of one.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

You can now.

Are they sure its time?

Surely thats not enough time to get this puppy fully baked?

good to see steam being accepting of poly relationships and communes

Silentiea,

Or, like, me sharing single player games with my buddies. But you do you.

Or simply being two parents plus an 18 year or older child.
