  “better off just buying a PC”.

  It is a PC.

  Bazzite did that for me. Installing and getting a game up and running took me 20 minutes. No fuzz. All drivers and software self update.

  Are you okay? I don’t either want to experience this but… Just checking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because form and function is not the same thing. I don’t look at the controller while playing just like I dont give a damn how my keyboard look as long as it feels good and does what it is supposed to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am European but no. That would increase the price and i believe valve wants to sell as cheap as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamepad for Linux Gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This. It costs more but you will have a controller that will last years. Have used 8bitdo pro2 for a couple of years after rage quitting the Nintendo pro whatever it is named to switch for its worthless d-pad. Recently picked up a 8bitdo pro3 and yes, it cost a lot but it will probably be my only controller for many years now. Buying something that breaks after a year will cost you more in the long run. It’s expensive to be cheap.

  Isnt there like a gazzilion different Clans? You get… 3 or did I miss something? Being definitive edition and missing all dlc sounds like a scam imho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon cutting thousands of corporate roles [including video games]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dont think this has anything to do with how their game was going. Either that or this was already planned since a couple of months ago. New world recently gained a lot more players according to steam stats so it makes no sense to quit it now. Feel sorry for the devs even if the game wasn’t for me (never played it).

  I read this and my only thought was “Factorio”. Oh well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Were you blessed to experience this masterpiece? 😼⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I also bought this for playing pirates games. Never really tried the PSO game however which I regret now. I still got a TV I could play this on and I guess it is not too late.

  The day they start charging for playing a demo…

  Supposedly coming an update soon that changes quite a bit.

  Most of them are. Just make profit NOW!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cause and Effect⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I repair stuff at work and this is my everyday almost. Check how stuff works, then try to fix it. Very good advice but most people are too lazy to even try to understand or explore today. When people seem interested at what i am doing i try to explain to them how I think and what I do or how stuff works. I love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, i bought it too when it came to steam but also donated about 50 dollars back around 2009 I think. It is worth it even if I don’t really play it any more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering the hours you put in a good building game just about every one of them is “free”. But yeah, OpenTTD is great and a lot of fun. TTDX was my first PC game which was an instant buy (before I even had a computer but was getting one in a couple of months) after I saw a review on TV. The 90s was something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In a week dominated by Silksong and Borderlands, co-op roguelike Shape of Dreams still managed to launch on Steam as an instant top-seller⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why can’t a game you haven’t heard about be in the top sellers? I did hear about it a couple of weeks ago, played the demo and it was a no brainer for me to buy it.

  How Steam measures whatever sells what I don’t know but it can be 15 minutes of fame for smaller studios also. If the game is good, it is earned imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In a week dominated by Silksong and Borderlands, co-op roguelike Shape of Dreams still managed to launch on Steam as an instant top-seller⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no clue why it says MOBA gameplay because it is nothing like a MOBA unless there are multiple definitions on that term. The only thing is that you have 4 (5) skills?

  Played the demo for like 8 hours which was enough for getting all my 5 chars to level 10 or more which feel enough to put on whatever in the skilltree.

  Agree with the slow progress however but I don’t mind too much. I have a lot of fun with the game.

  This doesn’t look good… I hope I am wrong but definitely not buying day one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am asking this as I am interested in how other people choose games and think about things but you choose games to buy by the looks of it or does gameplay mechanics play any role in it?

  I have been playing games since 1988 so I have played a lot of stuff during my whole life but I have never considered only buying games of a certain genre or camera perspective etc. Gameplay is what catches me and the amount of indie games in my library is proof of this. That said I mostly play to see and experience different rules and mechanics in games. Very seldom I finish a game because once I figured it out it is probably dead to me as I find something new to play. There are exceptions of course. And yes, I know I have a problem 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can confirm. Snapped the shit out of those buttons and it finally worked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they are out of keys. Doesn’t list the game any more, only the soundtrack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rogue.site is a new worker-owned, reader-funded gaming site⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh nice. They even have a post about RSS feeds which I use every day to get my gaming news. Added!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait… Older genres? Never thought of it that way but it is true that there are some new ones. When is a genre old? 20 years, 30 years?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I got about 30 hours doing most stuff. The thing is that there is more of the game after the story is done, about double the content or so i have read. I did not do that part myself so can’t say much about it.

  Had a lot of fun with the demo of this one. Ha e go be atleast half a year ago now. Looking forward to it.

  I don’t understand why the two countries at war isn’t doing the negotiating. What and why is the US even involved in the first place? I know Putin and Trump is “friends” but that just make it even more backwards. This world is so weird. Gone to total shit in record time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Abiotic Factor review - Abiotic Factor is an instant survival classic, and one of the best games I've played in years.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We built in the cafeteria and as you say we also had these spawns in the middle of the base which seemed stupid but when we progressed further they stoped spawning there. Or maybe because we built more there? Not sure. It’s a thing of the past now anyway so if you decide to continue it will hopefully pass with progress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Abiotic Factor review - Abiotic Factor is an instant survival classic, and one of the best games I've played in years.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Started playing this with my friends a couple of months ago. We are old so we can only play for 2 hours every week bit it is a blast! Having so much fun and the graphics being a throwback to half life 1 is just top notch! It really show how much gameplay means compared to polygon count and whatever effects etc.

  Not sure if I would have played this on my own. A bit too much of the survival stuff that I am not into too much but that is a personal preference. Less stress about that with friends.
