don't think you can
oh, and while you're playing it - go into the ini and disable enemy AI ... it makes the game a billion times better (and true to devs' vision ... they didn't want to put any enemies in there but squeenix told them to do it ... hence why "the fix" is a simple ini edit)
Finished Metro Exodus today (don't worry, Steam version, Epic can fuck off into a fire).
An enjoyable title for sure but the ambition of a more open playstyle fell a bit flat as it only really affects 2-3 areas across the whole game with the remainder being linear. As such given it's longer length to the previous Metro games, tbh by the end it felt like it was overstaying it's welcome a bit.
Nevertheless don't get me wrong, was still an enjoyable game
And next on the play list is Devotion

Chinese officials: Either you remove the game from the store, or we remove Steam from China.
Valve: ...
Or it is a decision of the devs themselves, which would explain why the game was removed from every region.

That really sucks

Already did. Dunno if it disables them outright, but it lowers it to near non existent~don't think you can

From what I gathered it's the publisher's decision.
Aaaaand that was Yakuza Kiwami.
Not as good as 0, but still very good. Majima Everywhere and the ridiculous boss health bars are annoying after a while though, so I put the game on easy somewhere during chapter 8 and bulldozed my way through the rest of it.
Back to reading chinese webnovels~

Call me cynical but I can see Devotion launching on Epic Store now just to get away from the Chinese criticism =/
Probably Red Candle did themselves.

By the way, is there a bot that tracks Steam releases?
Yeesh, ya know the next time you're going to release a game where your biggest audience is gonna be from your neighbouring country, regarldess of how you feel about them politically don't make it so fucking blatantly obvious.

I hope the government of Taiwan goes all in and supports them with some kind of funding.

no, it doesn't .... but they can't see you, so unless you run into them - they're completely harmless
Seriously. Was just about to buy it. Added the money to Steam wallet and everything.
Hope it comes back soon and the devs stay safe.

I'm glad I got wired worried about Devotion after I saw the publisher statement. Wasn't gonna buy it right away but thought it could get pulled if they had a dispute with their publisher so I went ahead and bought it.
Really hope they're able to put it back up for sale.

I was going to buy it very soon, but after what happened during the weekend, and knowing how the Chinese government likes to force the removal of content they don't agree with, I ended up buying the game yesterday, fearing the game might be removed.Seriously. Was just about to buy it. Added the money to Steam wallet and everything.
Hope it comes back soon and the devs stay safe.
And also, to support the developer, after this terrible period.
Hopefully the game will return soon.
This whole situation is ridiculous. If it was a developer from China making comments about Taiwan, nothing would happen.
I really can't believe all of this is because of a joke regarding a politician.

I have plenty of games in my GOG account and I would hate it to see it go away.
I hope this rumour mill isn't true. I find it a little curious that there was only a single source on this and no corroborating statement from other staffers who were laid off.

Well, in their defence it was quite a crash, and it was quite unexpected.
Really, it's insane how, in just a few days, the game went from an unexpected success story, to something that may terminally damage the developer.
I hope all ends up working for the developers when this insanity dies down.

Last chance to get Touhou Luna Nights at the current price.
Tomorrow, the game leaves early access, and it will significantly increase in price.
A reminder that the developer of the awesome Pharaoh Rebirth+ is working on this game.
Fans of metroidvania games need to watch the above trailer, the game looks very good in motion.

A bit of a heads-up for those in the market for a new 60% mechanical keyboard. Flashquark is one of the official distributors for Anne Pro/Anne Pro 2. Comes in a variety of switches. Order fulfillment would be on the 3rd week of March. The keyboard is popular and has sold out pretty quickly in the past. Shipping internationally.

A couple of reviews.

But what's the difference between those switches?
Are you referring to the colour of the switches, or the manufacturers?
If it's the former, it differentiates the feedback it gives when pressed. For example, I prefer the Blue MX (Cherry) switches which makes a distinct "click" sound with a little "bump" feel midway through. Others, like Brown MX, feels almost exactly the same way, except without the "click" sound.
If it's the latter, at some point in the past, Cherry Corp. the original creator of these mechanical switches has expired their patent. Since then a number of manufacturers has come up with their own Cherry switch clones, resulting in a number of different switch names, but they keep the same colour designation for the most part.

Since I just finished Detention I ended up picking up Devotion around the time it got removed from sale in China only. I'm so glad I did and I plan on playing it by the end of this weekend. Hopefully everything ends up working out for the developer, the whole situation is just unfortunate.
Mechanical keyboards rule! You don't know what you're missing out on until you've used one! Definitely try out several colors (perhaps in a local electronics store or your place of work if possible) to figure out which ones you like.
I have a Black switch keyboard from Monoprice that was on massive sale and I love it. Black switches are not as popular I have gathered because you really gotta push hard on the keys, but my giant hands don't find that to be much of a problem. You will probably feel differently! But that's part of the fun, like building your own PC and customizing everything!

I guess I kind of meant both actually. I've tried looking up switch info in the past and I always end up overwhelmed lol.
I checked out the article, and I've read in the past that Kailh were kind of crummy in the past, but are better now? Have you owned any of those switches, or are the Cherry absolutely worth the price difference?
Do you use the Blue MX for typing and gaming? I know it's primarily meant for typing, but I wonder how it'd feel in something like a MOBA.
It sounds like the game is being reviewed by the Great Firewall, or whichever censor committee is in charge of games.
I don't have any experience with Cherry clones, so I can only share my experience with the Cherry MXes. I own two boards (Anne Pro 2 and Das Ultimate) and both of them are Cherry Blues. I have tried Red, Brown and Clear though. Red and Brown would be the most common ones for gaming, also a good middle ground between typing usage and gaming. Clear is a "heavier" version of Brown (as in requiring more force to press).
Apart from typing, I prefer Blues since I love the clicky sound and they feel good for the games I play with a keyboard and mouse, although I very rarely play games with a first-person perspective. I mostly play RPGs and I don't play MOBA so I'm not sure how the Blues would feel.
What I can suggest is to get a switch tester, something like this, so you can play around with it to see which switch you prefer.

Is there a higher resolution version of this?
