Thank you for the great thread Mor

Windows 11 finally got an option to not combine taskbar icons and show labels with version 23h2:
EDIT: Though, the implementation is kinda bugged, the width of the items (icon+label) is dynamic, but if the label changes to a longer label (for example, in a web browser), the width doesn't update until another app is opened.
Labels changing to shorter labels doesn't have issues.

And if you want a feel good story to start the month, the Japanese government just forced Epic Games to pay 20million for 3 years of back-taxes they hadn't paid in consumption tax.
They also tacked a fee on top for being late, an additional 3 million.

After finishing God of War 2018 I was still craving more like that so I decided to finally replay Darksiders 1 and I did the save import for the remaster so I could start Apocalyptic difficulty with the Abyssal armor. I thought I would be able to knock out the achievements in one run... but you can't get the Abyssal armor achievement if you do that lol. Oh well I go back that on a Deck play through. The game looks quite nice at 5K resolution + 120 FPS.
Excellent, already have my son's iCloud email and Apple ID set up for when he eventually gets his phone and will do the same for Steam once this stuff hits.

Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.
Out now!
I quite enjoyed the demo of this when I played it over the summer. Excited to see if the full game is good.

New anime thread!
I've already bought Yakuza and MWIII so that will probably be it for this month.
I should really get around to finishing Yakuza 1-6.

I've been playing Robocop on PS5 cause my PC isn't good enough for PC version but the hell there're a lot of texture issues and graphic glitches. Too many textures and some effects take a long to appear on screen plus sometimes seems in-game videos are playing slow motion when they shouldn't. Is the same on Series X or it plays nice?.
I think this could be the worst PS5 optimized game I've played.

Started Lies of P. Surprisingly good. My only nitpick is the horrible linearity of the level design, but eh, it’s not like I love being lost in games, so well… try to do better next time, no biggie.
I wish devs kept their demos when games finally release. This looks really cool.
can you download it from here?:

with install button?

Started playing Jusant on Game Pass. I’m really liking the art style and relaxing nature of the game so far. Much like Pressure Washer Simulator, it’s seems like a nice relaxing game to unwind with.
On the flip side I picked up Tales of Arise for cheap via GMG. I’ll start it after my GP month expires.

Thanks Mor !
I'll definitely be picking up Thirsty Suitors (been following some of the people involved on social for a while) unless it somehow turns out terrible which I find hard to imagine. Probably get Jusant, Talos 2, maybe Nunu / The Invincible down the road. Phew.
After finishing up Baldur's Gate 3 I had some short games laid out to blow through but I've only done one (Cocoon, which is fantastic) and am now deep into CP2077 which is really great, especially now that I've got it properly on a SSD I really want to play it through a second time too, since the different builds really seem like they'll play differently.

Crazy to see Gamers Nexus praise the 7900XT when it’s been nothing but pain for me

No matter how much I try I can never afford to upgrade my PC. There's always something else to spend the fucking money on.
November already? Sheesh.
After seeing one reviewer I trust giving Robocop 9 and comparing it to Alien Isolation in quality, I decided to preorder it (the awesome demo and low price of 39 bucks helped).
So to get ready I watched first two films today (and featurettes of the first one).
I saw the first film for the first time in 2009 and today for a second time. It is 10/10, just awesome action film, with great soundtrack, protagonists and antagonists. Masterfully shot by Verhoeven.
I saw the second film for the first time. It is not as good as the first - Verhoeven's perfectionism and sensibility is just too good - but I still enjoyed it - lot of great action scenes, some WTF gruesomeness, plus portraying even kids as hardcore criminals was quite unexpected.
And now I can't wait for Rogue City.

RoboCop on Steam Deck still turns the thing into a handgrenade. On medium settings the game works at 30fps but I am deadly afraid the deck will explode any second. It also drains battery life like someone on nuke (57 minutes from full to empty) and really can not be played from a sdcard due to load stuttering. Not a great experience on the deck.
Fantastic work as always Mor !
And I wanted to give a quick heads up for everyone that it's that time of year again where I'll be streaming for 24 hours straight to help raise money for Riley Children's Foundation as part of Extra Life. Normally I hate promoting myself, but I think for times like this it's worth it.
I'll be starting at 9 am EST on November 3rd and our goal is to try to raise $500. So if folks would like to stop by and hang out I'd really appreciate it and I completely understand if anyone isn't able to donate, you should never feel pressured to. Helping get the word out is a massive help too.
You can check out the stream here.

Steam :: Steam Client Beta :: Steam Client Beta - November 1st
The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes: General Additional information about controller support has been added to the client: Game details pages in the library will now show information about specific controller and VR support next to cloud status, achievements, etc...
Some nice QoL for PS controllers in this beta update.
So I'm sitting here waiting for the pirated version of Alan Wake 2 to finish installing and I just wanna take a moment to congratulate Tim on finally defeating Steam. Around 2008 or so, I built my first PC and started buying games on Steam and pretty much stopped pirating games entirely. Yet here I am 15 years later, pirating my first game in over a decade.
Congrats, Timmy. You did it, buddy.

Unless I see it actually released I'm going to treat this game as vaporware lol
On an unrelated note, MGS3 is still a masterpiece all these years later
It's Talos 2 day, Elohim awaits his children XD
I'm thinking of possibly pre=ordering P5T, mainly for the pre-order DLC. Do you think that there is a chance that SEGA/ATLUS will sell it as stand alone later? Have they done this with a lot of other games, or only for a select few?
I really want to save money if possible but I am just not sure and I don't want to miss out.
PS another bundle. I am not sure if this one was already shared a few days ago. You might already have 3 of the 4 games, but for $10 It seems like a good deal.
I'm guessing that bundles helps them sell more units of there games. This has been the main way that I have been buying them, since there are so many and it's cheaper this way.

That explains the "Hey, you have a lot of players playing with PS controllers" email.
(Apparently they directly contact some developers to set this based on player statistics)
I think it’s really cool that Steam gamepad support has moved from just a generic “Controller Supported” to letting users see what works well with their specific pad. Since I have a DualSense that I use every now and then, this’ll be good to see when I’ll make the most of it.
It’d be cool if Valve had more tightly integrated support for more gamepads too, like 8BitDo. At the moment they just show as Xbox or Switch pads, depending on configuration.

I would like to see more options for Deck regarding gamepad. Some older games would work better if they detected Deck as emulated x360 gamepad (Dragon Age Inquisition would be one for sure, PoP Trilogy is another one).
