Dettweiler

Tried it on my laptop and work computer. Absolutely hate it. I refuse to upgrade my gaming PC to it. I’m planning on swapping to Linux Mint whenever I feel motivated.

Sounds like it’s time for a new pharmacy.

When using youtube, that’s a break every 5 minutes. More frequent if the videos are shorter.

I’ve played with randoms many times. Most people have been good to play with. I highly recommend it.

Played it. It’s Spaced Engineers on the ground. It seemed great in concept, but development seemed to quietly come to a halt at some point. It never got anywhere near complete.

It’s been out of early access for a few years. It was just built on a very dated engine and never quite reached that “complete” feeling.

I’ve burned hundreds of hours in Space Engineers and enjoyed it a lot, but I would never call it polished. I’m really hoping Keen Software learned some lessons from the first one to make the experience better.

I think that’s store driven. I recall having to input my PIN on my Deck multiple times, but there was at least a few days between each purchase.

It probably wouldn’t be too resource intensive to run it on an XP virtual machine. You’ll want a version that runs on its own, though (no game store launcher, drm, etc)

Dragon Age: Origins. The base game was easily 80+ hours of interesting story and game play. Each DLC added 20-40 hrs a piece. I used to play it a ton.

I don’t recommend giving money to EA, though. They have properly shit all over the sequels.

Considering I’ve been playing HD2 all year and I’m still loving it, my vote is for HD2. They did a fantastic job on the recent balance overhaul (dubbed “the great Buffening”).

It does update achievements. It’s really just play time that seems to have issues

I can’t help but question the accuracy of this list, since the Steam Deck doesn’t seem to log hours for games played in offline mode correctly. I easily have hundreds of hours unaccounted for. It will also add played time for hours spent in standby with a game running, but then wipe all of the hours played and in standby once I connect to the internet.

Just to jump onto this comment: Factorio just released a major expansion this week.

In a similar vibe, Satisfactory just left early access a few weeks ago.

Donk is a 2nd or 3rd date kind of genre.

I think that perceived smoothness from 40 fps comes from the LCD screen they chose, and using a controller. Docking the deck to a monitor and using a mouse makes it much more noticeable; but running games at 720p makes it much easier to hit 60 fps.

The biggest spooky factor of Subnautica was being alone and surrounded by the unknown. I guess they aren’t going for that this time.

Compared to the first, Below Zero was okay. I predict their third game is going to be “meh”.

Plastic is a very broad term for materials made from synthetic polymers

Conjecture is not documentation.

That’s what I’m seeing, unless a documented source eventually shows up.

I have many games I own on Steam that I can play portably from a flash drive without Steam. DRM is still on the developer.
