All of these issues were compensated by instant loading times (unlike on PS1) and now its should be even better with patch. I will try my luck with this excellent giveaway!
PS - too bad that Verok was caught up in this war, I wonder how he is now?
While Nintendo remains the undisputed king, leave it to Ubisoft to mishandle their LEGACY IPs which helped build their brand.
The announcing voiceover is incredibly annoying and just from the trailer I never want to hear it again. Hope you can mute it and that the game itself is fun. It looks fun, so high hopes.

I can't afford a Steam Deck and I really would love to try Steam OS 3. I hope Valve can release a proper ISO soon and maybe who knows I can switch to dual boot.
I think SteamOS3 is coming soon. They’re still doing Deck optimisations but there’s only so much you can do.GamingOnLinux - Steam News Hub

I read somewhere (can’t remember where, sadly) that Valve is improving things in the Steam Deck version of SteamOS and the Steam Client that looks like it’s in preparation for a wider release, such as merging the “Game Mode” version of the client with the desktop version, so you don’t have to close Steam and run a different version of the client to change the UI.
Steam Deck battle report -
FROG DETECTIVE 1
Was not as good as I hoped. It's super short, which is not that surprising. Unfortunately the barebone feel is also present in the plot and gameplay, calling it a point and click, while technically true, feels like a diss to the myriad point and clicks that came before. Speak to everybody, give one or two objects, game end.
But it's obviously not fair if you don't praise the atmosphere, the gently oddball imagery, and the charming characters.
In short Frog Detective is barely a game, but it's also an endearing introduction to Grace Bruxner's creative power. I can only wish she pushes the gameplay envelope a little for the sequels.
THE DARKSIDE DETECTIVE 1
Hmm.
First case was in the demo so no surprise for me. It's super short and very simple. Having finished the second case, which is a little longer, I can only lament the entry into point and click logic territory. Nothing too extreme, no cat mustache on the horizon, but yeah, some moves are more out there than in the first case. And it's full of jokes. Every other line is there to raise some chuckle.
Not that I wanted some dark investigation that much (or maybe I want that with those lovely chunky pixels) but the game could slow down a little on the LOL ROFL /JK front. It gets stale.
Cool experience nonetheless.
So yeah, I play a lot of short narrative games on Deck and they are no home runs, but at least the most important is there, the experience is good. So I can't begrudge.

It’s looking like the NFT bubble is bursting (thank fuck).
I know in America the first couple of people are being prosecuted for NFT fraud. Think it’s under the wire fraud regulations. The famous faces who had been shilling for NFTs are realising that they may also be liable as well.
so sounds like the perfect time for SE to be jumping in.

My Steam Deck arrived in my country officially (it was here since Friday but not processed due to holidays) and it's on the way to my city
Just wanna write that I appreciate RiyuExelica indie posts. You are doing a better job with those posts than GOG, Epic and the media. And they are getting payed to do indie discovery.

The fall in quality from Humble Monthly since the IGN buyout is absolutely shocking. I accepted last month just because I have a couple months left in my sub and want out, but this month has got to be the worst yet. And they actually downsized the amount of games to 8... It's almost like they want to keep Humble as a key store and just kill the bundles or something.
Lego Steam Deckhopefully still in one piece
still got a few more days before I decide to pull the trigger or not
On the other hand, they've had some stellar regular games bundles as of yet this year! In my opinion of course.
Think I've finally got my undervolt stable
I had done the L key thing so it locked it to 0.925v at all times even not playing games
Whoops!

I rented WWE 2K22 a few weeks back and thought it was fine. The AEW game is looking okay, but the hit freeze needs to go.
A PC version was confirmed on the recent stream. Rumor is THQ is publishing the AEW game. If they are, then a Steam version should also happen. I read Tony Khan invested $20 million into Epic about a year ago so I was wondering if they would publish it. There's also rumors that the game has had development issues, but I'd take it with a grain of salt.
Game Pass and EGS freebies have significantly damaged Humble. I doubt they're able to compete with the likes of those companies and have to get the scraps.
The irony is Humble have signed day 1 GamePass releases for many of their own games.
I am not stopping now!!!
Also this is good bundle

Now that i think about it, you know what Square Enix actually should have sold instead of Tomb Raider?
Kingdom Hearts on Steam

I'm back from my business trip and am greeted with 6 new pages... - what has happened? I'm betting it's something anime or sony related...
Square does something... - well at least I was right about the anime
They sold the good stuff and kept the trash, best possible outcome if you ask me. Tomb Raider, LoK and Deus Ex may yet live again someday.

Astronomers suggest sending nude humans images into space for aliens
Space agencies should beam messages — including digitized images of naked humans — into space in the hope of luring aliens to Earth, astronomers have suggested.

thank you. there was no actual 'buy' option in my steam yesterday and suddenly bam. there it is
Sheesh that is a quick deep discount. It is tempting, but I have not heard many impressions of the game, positive or negative. It just seems like it came and went.-43%

There was a weird bug yesterday for about an hour or so that resulted in a significant number of things unpurchasable on Steam. Probably something broke in the Tuesday maintenance, but it was a weird bug nevertheless since seemingly random games were still able to be purchased.
That seems reasonable. Annoying, since even the web store messed up too, but not unlikely
Yesss. Was sorta worried they were going EGS exclusive with it due to no Steam mentions ever and The Forest has been extremely popular on Steam, so no doubt a target for Epic exclusivity.
Good thing: Deck is in my city confirmed.
Bad thing: It's at customs office XD
So yeah if it was cleared by customs I would be able to pick it up today but now who knows when I will get it and how much I will need to pay XD and it is holiday on Monday XD

This!!! I fully agreed with Fantomena on the subject. Also, it's a pity we lost some other beloved members like Wok, texhnolyze and JCB.
I still believe that a MetaCouncil curator group made by the community would be a great idea giving the amount of exposure and joy many members bring to the forum. We have already a MetaCouncil Steam group, so a Curator could be a reasonable idea.
