DREDGE!!!

(it will forever be my fav game I ever played on the Steam Deck! That Lovecraftian horror is somehow so so cozy!!)

Thanks, you two. Nice to see you here in the comments and on Lemmy!!! <3

I hate to break the atmosphere, but I just threw this together without taking my own screenshot of my Junk-Store!

This is a screenshot which belongs to one of the Junk-Store team - Annie, which I just grabbed quickly from an image search via DDG

she’s also rather lovely, HI ANNIE!

…one thing is for sure, with 250 hours in the game it seems you’ve got to be a huge fan of it!!!

I have done 5 so far now!

(One more than this you commented under!)

And yes, I hope to make them a weekly occurrence :) And thank you so much for saying so!

non-steam versions of the game

You got it! It’s a GOG-specific bug, which again compounds the feeling that GOG users tend to end up second-best :(

Oh shucks, this is kinda sweet!!!

(THANK YOU!!!)

I’m a sucker for OLED screen

R.E. the OLED, you can write me on Matrix if you’re there (or join the Revolt server!) and I can help you with a pointer for it!!!

I know Lazorne is on here, so I have no doubt this comment will make them smile!!!

Well, you’ve got a lot of options!

Since getting my Steam Deck, I sold my Switch collection, since (for the most part), emulating Switch games are a breeze. Theres obviously ones which perform poorly, but the vast, vast majority run so well!

You can always get the original launch model of Switch - you can jailbreak it with a little ‘jig’ and its the easiest thing in the world. No mod chip required. There’s even tablet-only ones, even OLEDs on aliexp if you want to have someone do they hard work for you, too!

The Steam Deck is incredibly hard to beat - Steam games, GOG, Epic and Amazon games. Emulation. Its a lot of gaming :)

(And as to frequency posting these? Lately, every 3 or 4 days!!!)

Hmmm that’s pretty specific!

I’d look at:

• Cara Ellison. She’s touched on it before, that I’ve noticed when writing for The Guardian - how strong videogames are for the medium of telling stories, and also for expressing art.

• Matthewmatosis on YouTube, does some great work on at least the artistic choices teams make when creating the games

• Critical Distance is a good site, critiquing games as a serious art form

I mean…this is in my eyes, and in my experience reading them. The thing about art is though…it’s so damned subjective, so what I found related to that point, you might find is totally, totally off-the-mark!

Hope it helps, a little though! <3

I’ve seen the same.

And I can’t claim any ownership of this, this is purely Gardiner’s server! I just…happen to know a lot of the devs and creators in the space, and I’m slowly inviting them in because - well I guess a place like this, more focused and small where we can chat about what we love: developing for Linux, and gaming on Linux might be a nice thing!

I’d just encourage you to make a throwaway account (if you’re so inclined!) and ask in the server yourself! No one can answer better than Gardiner can :)

This is literally like…idk 2 hours old at this point. No ‘big’ posts have been made, just me prodding the odd folk (like here) to join in and see if they like it :)

I only access it via their website!

Yeah, sadly I agree.

I jumped on there six weeks or so ago (before I re-joined here on Lemmy) and was taken by the lovely UI, and it does…work. But there’s some gaps like this. Still, it can be better than the alternative, which is always something to encourage.

But, I totally agree.

Hey, this is so sweet of you to say!

Nope, no selling here. Ironically I had a couple of legit job offers for this kind of thing when I was writing these on Reddit last year (before leaving it). So…in some odd alternate universe, I might have been doing just that selling!

For now, I’m very fediverse-addicted. No selling here. I’m glad you enjoyed the few things I found interesting myself! :)

I do!

I’ll be back home in a couple of hours, and I’ll come back to this comment to edit :)

Well this is just damned sweet of you!

Glad my rambling nonsense has helped! :)

There’s zero percent chance of this.

Sadly, of course, coz I’m the world’s #1 GOG fangirl, but…I mean Remedy asked every publisher if they wanted to be involved. None did.

Alan Wake 2 just would not have happened without Epic. They fronted the money: Epic is the reason it exists at all!
