Wait, what? I'm curious how that's even possible. What case do you have?

Tryin' out Mass Effect thanks to Gamepass. Jesus, I didn't know how frickin' JANK games not from Nintendo were back in the oughties...
No no, just Hard, I don't know how Classic is, and I don't wanna, too much suffering already.

Okay, that's the one way I'd become a console player. And burn down my PC.
I think this year I will try to engage more with the steam community, meaning inside of steam. Like write more reviews, check out the forums more and stuff like that.

corsair 400c, 5yo right now.
even unplugged the other day it shocked me when I touched it, was really weird.
Case was not bad but something must have happened to create this problem.
The steam forums are usually a shit show in my experience
Yeah, more often than not. So many terrible, bad faith threads, really vile stuff most of the time. There's also great and useful stuff in there too, if you need solution for a rare bug or something. But it's sad that it's lacking decent moderation. Valve should really invest a ton of money in hiring community managers around the world, training them and working to maintain a basic civil tone across all forums of all games. They have enough billions to afford this.
After Aaron D. comments about how he tries to leave reviews for smaller Indie games I have been thinking about doing the same myself. However I tend to be a bit poor in my writing skills, but would prefer not to leave those stupid one line reviews that tend to flood steam.
Haha my plan is to do those one line reviews! Of course just to get warm in the clothes. Because my writing skills are crap so need the practise.
If it's something worth saying, write it, even if it is just a one-liner.
Has Microsoft started to make new PC games inaccessible on Steam again? I just noticed that "The Gunk" is only available through the Xbox app on PC.
Their third-party deals only extends to the Xbox ecosystem. The Touryst was the same.
GOG Galaxy 2.0 is such a massive disappointment. They promised the earth and delivered manure. I don’t think a single advertised new feature of the client or service works as it should, and the basic GOG functions from the 1.0 client have been abstracted behind a bunch of barely-working garbage. The overall end product is actively worse.
For my backlog tracking I just use a list app (have used MS To-Do, currently using Apple’s Reminders app). It does what I need it to, but I don’t care about the social side so that’s fine for me.
For GOG’s other function, cross-store launching, Playnite is sick. I’m actually considering doing a Meta thread about all the comfy couch PC learning I’ve had to do to get an awesome 10ft UI going.
This has legitimately upset me on so many levels.
I mean, it's technically correct, the term bug was born because in one of the first computer there was a dead moth inside:
Started Unravel Two with a friend over Steam Play Together. Let's see how it will go XD
Don't know and don't care because there's no fucking way i'm expanding that spoiler. lol.
Valve won CS:GO lootbox lawsuit. (from 2016-ish).
(Guess they can appeal to supreme court though?)
Full decision:

Some of these things take so long to go through courts that i don't even remember what the problem was in the first place.
Playing Bound By Flame right now, and I am always sucked right into these Spiders games. They are like the Falcom of classic Bioware style RPGs, always a very similar formula. Despite the games having tons of obvious flaws, like the need for backtracking, the cheap mobs that take up so much time to fight, there's something about them keep pulling me back. Played Mars War Logs and Technomancer last year and it was the same experience then.
Color me intrigued !

Unrelated but are there good zines / books about video games published these days ?
I know of the HG101 / Untold History ones, but is that all ? Or something like the CRPG / JRPG books, but DIGITAL.
Promising perfect work between different launchers was always going to be a shitshow because of two simple things:
-You do not have a partnership and you need to rely on public APIs. Using public APIs means that the interaction will always be a pain in the ass and buggy as fuck because your code is working on loopholes the APIs leave and not using them as intended, so a desync for whatever reason will fuck things up (or a slight change of how the API works but not its end results can fuck you up too).
-You have a partnership and can have more in dept h comunication with the publisher. Now here you rely on the partnership being in good faith and actively partnering with you when they make major changes to their service (and take you into account). Which in most cases they will kidna forget, so your partnership application will slightly get worse.
Now, once you combine that with the rest of the GOG (which you fully control) you end up having a mess of different levels of interactions that do not give a cohesive feeling, which was the full idea of Galaxy 2.0.
Yup, GOG Galaxy 2 never fully worked for me, so I just stopped using it. Haven't actually bought someting from GOG or used Galaxy since the day I bought those Metal Gear games.
Galaxy 2.0 works fine for me but then my needs are simple and unorganised compared to many others.
I tend not to link accounts or use any unified store features. I only have Origin games that were auto-added to my Steam Library and only GOG games in Galaxy. I have a seperate folder for my Indie/DRM free games so i poke about in there when i fancy something different. I have a frontend for Dosbox that i rarely use but i have found a handy frontend for Doom and mods which i like.
I don't tend to keep spreadsheets or track things unlike many people which i suppose fits with my random and easily distracted nature.

Personnally, if it's to buy an old unsupported game I usually like to get it from GOG (although I got burned in the case of Quake where they updated the Steam version with a bunch of cool features last year but not the GOG one). But yeah, for newer games it's not the best platform...
I also don't find it a reliable platform to use. Their money problems makes future support uncertain, many big indies and aas and aaas not releasing there, games not getting patches or it takes long time to get patches (due to extremely low sales).
I will give them respect for the DRM stuff (despite conflicts like Hitman), but otherwise I don't really care for GOG. I've used Steam for over 11 years and I can still play the games I boughty 11 and 10 years ago.
I buy older, classic games on GOG all the time. I don't need or want them linked to Steam and i appreciate the work they do to chase these games down and get things working via Dosbox or whatever.
Newer games though, sure i stick to Steam though i am buying from GOG, Itch or the dev/publisher a lot more often for smaller indie games and most of my VNs.

Currently The Gunk and Echo Generation . aee xbox exosystem exclusive for now.. TheTouryst went rrough it aswell but its now on steam , and echo generation has streampage already
tbh in the long term i would rather see GoG survive than EGS as gog at least have some value in the NoDRM and old game sense
If I bother writing a steam review it's always a killer one liner.
I'm not exactly a neat freak but how does one get that many shit under their keyboards just beats me.

Worthy of note, there's plenty of Steam indies I've taken a chance on based on one-liner reviews alone (in the absence of more in depth coverage). Titles I would have passed on completely otherwise for lack of any user feedback at all.
While some of my reviews do border on silly levels of verbose, simpler reviews do matter, even on a one-liner level.
Almost done with Tales of Arise. Fifth Tales game I've played and definitely my favorite.
I can't keep up with all these TV shows. Witcher, Hawkeye, Boba Fett... They're all so good. Hawkeye is really surprising me, it's so entertaining.

But I did manage to reach the final boss! Then proceeded to promptly get wrecked. Ouchie.
