Valve really only releases things that shake the industry up. I’ve been playing through Alyx for the first time this weekend and oh my god is it good.

Great. The Remedy universe is really compelling, but they’ve always been a quiet achiever as a studio.

I liked the purple prince… Hopefully there are skin options.

That one really pisses me off. It’s such a good idea and would have been applicable to almost every game.

That’s it. The Alan Wake 2 “race change” actually allows for some interesting links between Quantum Leap and the Alan Wake stories, but it was seen as a DEI situation. If a game is bad, it’s generally bad for reasons beyond DEI or wokeness.

For some reason the second most followed curator on steam is Sweet Baby Inc Detected. Its pretty widespread brain rot.

It’s not a $60 or $70 game, but certainly is better than most of the AAA offerings of late. Maybe think of it like it’s a full priced game that’s always on sale? You do you though. I thought it was well worth the asking price.

Awesome, I was sure they wouldn’t disappoint.

Factorio goes up in price over time, so now is always the best time to buy Factorio.

Been meaning to check out the expansion, good?

I’m feeling a mixed reception obviously. Probably more review bombing in the negative direction by the Gamer™ crowd perceiving it as woke.

Curious to see where this one lands with people.

Thank the gods for these Indian men. They’ve saved me countless times with their simple solutions to incredibly specific problems.

You can now comment on the on the comment on the post.

Tell me about it. Skyrim for all its accolades kind of fails as an RPG in the sense that your character can do pretty much everything, but your run speed/jump height is static.

Increasing health/magic/stamina was a really lame way to handle levelling IMO.

It would be a shame if they streamlined the RPG systems even more for TESVI

Looking forward to putting this on my Isthereanydeal waitlist for the 75% off barrier. Genuinely one of the top games of my teen years when it came out, but $50 USD is a bit much for such an old game.

Hahaha please let this be the official term.

Valve were really smart with the hardware selection. Pointless to put FHD resolution into a 7 inch screen size, means better performance and battery.

Yeah that’s fair. I caved for the LCD and again the oled. Have probably overpaid $650 all up over the last 18 months but its a great device.

They’re not hard to get, but you would pay $1200 AUD instead of $899 which is the retail for the 512GB OLED, for example.

I’m a big fan of this project. Had a chat to the dev on discord and he’s pouring a lot of energy into the solo development. It would be great if he was able get some outside help.
