Enjoy, both OW and Tunic are up there in my favourite games. Return of the Obra Dinn is another good one, if you didn’t play it already.

Chasing after that same high, I bought the newest versions of Myst and Riven, never played the originals. Quite stumped in the first level of Myst. I feel like I may enjoy Riven more, but gonna try and stick with Myst first.

They found the way you wrote “Yt-dlp and a cron job” sexually appealing, and went to havd some fun rub… uh, installing.

If both people have Syncthing installed, you can do that by sharing a folder between you.

But it is not like cloud services where you can generate a shareable link - Syncthing is mostly designed for syncing files between your own devices real-time.

*and Battlefield 2042

Just let him see your hentai games, say they’re “jokes” or something.

Holy shit this is amazing. This game used Games for Windows Live, it was horrendous already 15 years back. I played a shit ton of Flatout 2 as a kid, this one is essentially a better version of that one.

I really want a Håg Capisco to replace my cheap Ikea Järvfjället. Shit’s super ergonomic, I always prefer those at work.

I say 80% of them.

That reminds me of my Linux server teacher in university. We were to buy a domain name from Namecheap or Gandi during class with some free credits, and the teacher was recommending lastname[dot]com if that was available.

I happened to say aloud “yep, mylastname[dot]com is available” and he quickly sushed me as if I had named Voldemort aloud in Hogwarts, telling me that saying it is a really bad move… lol

I really enjoyed playing through Tunic on my Deck. I imagine Corpse Party (2021) would also be a great Deck game (I played the game before I got mine.)

Not related to Steam Deck, but this caught my eye:

As soon as we thwarted their effort, they went around to 27 different developers and offered each one a payoff to undermine any effort we had to get their games onto our store exclusively. Activision and Riot and Supercell had direct distribution plans that they were planning on; Google paid them not to pursue those plans. Just direct blatant violations of anti-competition law, it’s crazy a company of Google’s scale would do that.

So Tim is stating that Google making exclusivity deals with applications developers is breaching laws and should be stopped, but Epic having exclusivity deals on their own stores is okay and not anti-competitive. Hypocrite much, eh?

Lol, I often get a lot of confirmations on if my email address is right whenever I am in contact with any customer service… I use a catch-all on lastname[dot]com.

“Is your email really ‘nameofservice@lastname•com’?”

Played most of COCOON during a recent airplane round-trip. Also started Pocket Mirror, I got an RPG Maker fever after playing Corpse Party.

I played through OW mostly right before bedtime last year, and IIRC I slept well, but of course your mileage may vary! I wouldn’t call it “very intense” by any means, but certain sequences can be creepy or tense depending on the person playing.

You will know when the game is going to get tense, so you explore something else instead and save that part for daytime.

Outer Wilds.

Open World - Puzzle - Exploration - Mystery - Space

Outer Wilds is not small (15-25 hours, + about 10-15h for DLC), but it is a great game to be enjoyed in shorter gaming sessions (even just 30-60min) each night if that’s your requirement. Although if you get hooked I expect you to think about the game during the day as well out of session.

OW is not too mechanics-intensive, nor is it action-based. Most of your time is spent exploring the nooks and crannies of a solar system and following your leads to uncover an ancient mystery. The puzzles are genius, differ between small and large in scale and figuring them out feels rewarding. For the most part, it is far from stressful, maybe excluding certain few parts of the game.

The game is very curiosity driven. Your hand is not held after the first hour or two - it’s only you, your ship and the tools at your disposal. Progression is unlocked via knowledge, not power-ups or new tools, so you need to thirst for new pieces of information.

The game is on sale right now. If you’re intrigued, give it a go!

Why? The fact that people are buying it now that it is on Steam already gives the message they didn’t want to buy it when it was an Epic exclusive.

It gives the message that publishers can take the Epic money for a timed exclusive, face no backlash or consequences and get the money from other customers as well on other storefronts.

A lockscreen does prevent a thief from using your Steam account… unless you can boot to desktop mode before typing in the password, haven’t checked that.
