  I haven’t played the game yet but I am very curious what about it might have this effect. Is it story related or some gameplay element?

  I don’t mind spoilers but maybe mark it up as such if needed in case others do.

  On PC and Steamdeck Binding of Isaac and Brotato mostly, my most played comfort games. Looking to get started with Lonestar soon.

  On mobile I got back into Shattered Pixel Dungeon. I’ve been paying classic roguelikes for a very long time. Never gotten very good at them but I still enjoy every run and inevitable death.

  Another vote for HotS, it’s the only MOBA that has ever truly clicked for me (and I am not even particularly into the rest of the Blizzard stuff).

  I’d say it’s definitely worth a look despite the “maintenance mode”. There is an active player base, the game is well balanced and it still receives occasional tweaks. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is if you are enjoying yourself or not.

  I wouldn’t want to restrict myself to a specific platform or timeframe but I could give up some major genres. For example I’d be ok with letting go of all FPS and most 3D focused games (presentation, not rendering tech).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does patientgamers feel about free games on Epic?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Like other commenters I take advantage of them but only if I can do it on my terms: on Linux or the Steam Deck using Heroic or a similar solution. There is absolutely no way I’d use Windows or the Epic launcher for this.

  And since these methods are not officially supported and could break in the future I can’t spend money at the Epic store. I only leech on the free stuff while it’s practical to do so.

  No WASD, no strafe, not fair.

  I got it by around the imps and going for the grunts.

  Do you know if the controls still require tweaks or does it work out of the box these days?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here. I finished last year by beating Mega Satan for the first time and starting the new year with some more Isaac.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Winter Sale Featured Deep Discounts - any recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Binding of Isaac Rebirth Complete Bundle as well as its individual components are at a new all time low. The game is an absolute classic and (to me) it’s still the best at what it does. It’s perfect on the Steam Deck too.

  If you like the base game I highly recommend all the DLCs. Besides a ton of new content they also add many quality of life changes that make the game even more enjoyable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not super old but I patiently waited for a sale on the Repentence DLC for The Binding of Isaac. Besides the new content it’s also a sort of v2.5 of the game (if Rebirth/Afterbirth was v2.0) with many quality of life changes. Admittedly some of the changes were a bit startling at first but I quickly got used to them and after a few hours it felt like home again.

  I have about 500 hours in Isaac and this refresher has breathed new life into it so perhaps I am good for another 500.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a series of tabletop games called MicroMacro that are sort of the same idea with a similar art style if you are into that. You have to solve various mysteries by tracing sequences of events. Good fun either solo or with friends.

  I’ve been waiting forever for this to get a real price cut but instead it just got 50% more expensive. I guess I will just have to be patient for another decade.
