I would upgrade for a slightly smaller, more battery efficient Steamdeck with an OLED screen. I know that's a lot to ask for, but definitely performance is the least of my concerns.
I did the Payday 3 beta. It threw up a LOT of red flags about the matchmaking system. I made a post reviewing the game where I basically said that if I were smart, I wouldn't be getting the game because based on the beta, matchmaking was going to be busted on release....
This is really sad to see -- I absolutely loved PD2 at release. It's some of the most fun co-op moments I've ever had in a game (maybe even the best).
I also played the beta and enjoyed the refined experience, but have still been working through BG3 and Starfield, so I decided to hold off on playing. Was hoping for a smooth release for everyone excited to play the game, so it's disappointing to see how terrible the experience has been at launch.
Does this type of mod break with updates, or could you potentially just stay on the version you downloaded and forego any updates? I don't mod much to the point where I've paid for any, but curious the requisite of ongoing subscription for this type of thing.
I hope they continue to expand on the gore systems in the game. I know that doesn't keep a game fresh for 10s of hours, but I do appreciate how they lean into the carnage factor. Reminds me of Soldier Of Fortune 1+2 in the sense.

I have enjoyed the 2 new Modern Warfares -- I played Cod-MW3 growing up, but only the campaigns, so MW2019 was my first MP COD, and I had a lot of fun for what it was. Warzone was also the first BR that appealed to me, and I ended up playing a lot of it as well. I'd guess I completed 3-4 battlepasses before I realized I wasn't enjoying myself anymore
I skipped BO3 and Vanguard, but by the time MW2 was coming out last year, I had the apetite to try CoD again, and the campaign was okay (not as good as MW2), and I enjoyed the MP about 2/3s as much as I did MW2019. I had some fun with the extraction game mode, and finished the S1 battlepass, but haven't come back since.
Another MW3 so soon feels like a misstep here. I am curious about the campaign, since it seems like they're mixing some cool setpiece levels from MW2+3, but that's not worth full price to me.
At some level, even a "DRM Free" game like The Witcher could still be argued as having DRM since you need to authenticate your purchase with steam to download it.
If you're willing to give up your option to refund in a 2hr gameplay window, you can get a Steam key from reputable (not greymarket) sellers for a decent discount. Here's an example

BG3 for me as well. I'm just a handful of hours into Act 2 after spending 20+hrs in Act 1. So far, I preferred the less dreary scenery of Act 1, but still enjoying the way the story is going. Can't express enough how blown away I've been by this game so far. I haven't been so hooked on an RPG since Witcher 3.
This bundle will warp you to the kookiest sectors of the cosmos with titles like High on Life, Journey to the Savage Planet, The Outer Worlds, and more!
I've never heard of that one, but I personally enjoyed The Outer Worlds, but got it in the recent Humble Monthly. Was hoping for Outer Wilds when I first saw the listing.
While Baldur's Gate 3 is being widely celebrated by fans and developers alike, some are panicking that this could set new expectations from fans. Good.
Xenia Canary runs RDR really well if you haven't tried it yet. I was surprised I was able to get through the entire game without problems on my ~5yr old gaming laptop.
Yeah, I don't get it -- the game is essentially online-only (not sure if you can play with bot teammates like the previous titles, but that wasn't too enjoyable anyway). Why pay for Denuvo as well unless you're out of touch?
I watched two of the three, and really enjoyed them. Sure, I'd much rather see more gameplay, and they didn't do anything to sell me on the game itself, but they were enjoyable nonetheless
