Kitsune Tails, the colorful platformer inspired by Super Mario 3, is out now (store.steampowered.com) angielski

The “gay furry weeb mario game” (as described by the dev) not only offers lots of platforming action, but also comes prepackaged with tools to create custom levels and mini-games (which honestly are kinda bonkers, judging from the dev’s previews)...

The first known example of furry art is The Löwenmensch figurine, also called the Lion-man of Hohlenstein-Stadel, a ~38,000 year old ivory figurine of a lion-headed man:

Yeah! I dunno why I’ll get a notification that my post wasn’t uploaded because of a timeout, only to find out later that it actually did. XD

In terms of expectation, this is more in line with my fears than my hopes.

All the effort they’re putting into slowing the pace of the game is just added cost for development and it’s going to hurt them where it really matters, music licensing.

Half the appeal of the original was a soundtrack of popular music that fit the mood of the frenetic gameplay perfectly. Now they’ll have to pick lower-energy tracks to suit a meandering “open world” game that might get interrupted by other players at any moment.

I still have an OnLive console from the second time they tried games-as-a-service.

The market isn’t big enough to justify the distribution at scale it’d take to make this tech profitable.

I’m going to guess you mostly mean servers

Yep.

It’s really more for the convenience of getting your games from a web browser.

Exactly, it’s a niche service that only appeals to a fraction of the folks who play games, but it also requires the operator to purchase servers with graphics cards and set them up in datacenters near everyone who has an account in order to minimize latency. It’s not viable for people who have slow internet or live in a rural area, especially when so much of their income goes to licensing game titles for use in the service.

Bethesda lost me for good when they thought Fallout 76 was ready for release and refused to give me a refund when it very much was not.

I charged back the purchase price and haven’t given them a penny since.

Ditch Windows and install Linux and Steam, then add your game to the library as a non-Steam app and use the compatibility tab in the properties menu to force the use of the Proton compatibility layer. You should then be able to run the game through steam as normal. This has worked for me with almost all my old games and will probably work for you too.

Add the setup/installer executable as a non-steam game, run it to do the install, then modify the non-steam game’s settings to point at the installed executable so it can run from the directory where it is installed.

No problem! I’ve used this trick to run non-game Windows apps on the Steam Deck too, though support can vary wildly.

As an alternative, you might also check Lutris, which employs user scripts for installing and running Windows software in Linux. You can even add them to Steam so they’ll work in the Steam Deck’s gaming mode:
