I brought my 3DS but I left it in my friend's apartment lol.

Thanks everyone. I installed Octopath 2 and will give it a proper open minded chance as soon as I wrap up the unfortunately named, tad generic, but surprisingly decent, Immortals of Aveum.
I have a taste for something out of my usual wheelhouse.

This was previously published by Epic Games, but the Steam version's publisher is Mythwright. Some quick Googling shows they are a new publisher on the scene with several ex-Epic employees. They're also publishing Going Medieval which was also distributed by The Irregular Corporation before its parent company (Mediatonic) got bought by Epic.
Basically what I'm trying to say is that Alan Wake 2 on Steam will eventually happen, even if it takes awhile. I wouldn't expect it any time soon as it is EGP's biggest "success", but Epic will give Remedy publishing rights at some point and they'll self-publish it on Steam.
Piranha Bytes zamknięte. To koniec studia, które stworzyło Gothica – CD-Action
Twórcy Gothica mieli problemy już wcześniej, ale – jak dowiedziało się CD-Action – ostatniego dnia czerwca ich ponad 20-letnia przygoda w branży się skończyła.
It's kinda hard to be too sad that Piranha Bytes is gone. I don't feel like they really ever evolved as a game studio. They kept making the same one game with updated engine. ELEX was incredibly weak and boring, and from what I'm hearing, Elex 2 was somehow even worse.
Maybe some people from the studio can start something new and actually work on something new.

Elex was good. Elex 2 was weak. I am not too surprised, Elex games did sell poorly, but it is still sad. Gothic 1 and 2 are classics.
At least we got Archolos: Chronicles of Myrtana, which is probably better than any Piranha game.
And maybe G1 remake will be good.

The Creative Director and his wife made a new studio
I really did not like Elex. I did not hate it, but nothing in its world is really interesting. I still have some fond memories of Risen, but Risen 2 and 3 too felt to me directionless and mostly bad. I don't want to be mean, but starting from scratch and building up a new team around fresh ideas is not the worst thing that can happen to PB.
It doesn't seem this kickstarter is going anywhere, at least on the Penny Blood side. The team can't find a publisher or find a way to secure funds, as hinted in a previous post. This is probably why they're continuing to work on the standalone Hellbound to try to give off the impression the project is biger than it seems
HEAVILY inspired by draw and play boardgames it seems.
Why not, maybe this time the game will hold a semblance of interest.
Really wanted to play this game back in the PS3/360 era
I remember this game. The shmup sections were rather mediocre IIRC, if they improve on that it could be cool.
OK
What are some good games that play great on KB/M that aren't demanding?
Any genre.
Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky plays great with mouse only controls. Just tested Doom 64 and it runs good.
EDIT - Downloading RE2 remake as a stress test.
EDIT2 - Intel Iris only has 128MB dedicated memory. Reading posts, it seems it takes 4GB out of 8GB from system RAM. Still RE2 remake ran like crap even with everything turn down. Looks like 2D games it is for me.

Guess whats in the anime section...
I took part in Tokyo Otaku Modes photo contest and I was a runner up, so top 30 out of 200+ photos that were submitted. I just submitted 4 photos this time around.
Feels good man. Especially since taking pictures of toys is one of the reasons for why I got into photography.

I finally got end credits on Persona 5 Royal. It's a great game but man is it long.
Both added to list.
But for now, I started Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. Runs really well.
(also tried Call of Juarez Gunslinger. Runs very well. Seems Ps3/X360 powered games are this PC's limit)
I know this it's (mostly) a joke. But most of the length of the game comes from the social sim part (and the excessively long cutscenes) than anything else combat is fast for the most part.If it had real time combat it would way shorter
We put a lot of work into kb/m controls for our Crossbell ports, and they should run on almost everything.
Honestly they lasted far longer than they probably should have and a lot of better studios bit the dust over the years. I know everyone fondly remembers gothic 2 but that was a lifetime ago at this point and their games only got worse from that. I played the first couple of risens and elex 1 and those games were not jank with ambitious systems or mechanics at play, they were just extremely janky. It wasn't like how obsidian games used to be where you had to deal with a lot of imperfections but underneath that you'd find the deepest role playing systems ever or one of the best dialogue systems ever...PB games didn't really bring anything to the table other than frustration.
Not that I'm dancing for joy at this news or anything, if anything I'm just surprised they lasted this long.

That is impressive, in both quantity and quality.
I wonder if more Hoyoverse will come to Steam at some point.
Seems like ZZZ is starting a bit slower than usual.
It might be a matter of style, it's anime as fuck but in weird 2000s style, some of it straight up Gurren Lagann and the soundtrack is not really what you expect from games like this...

I don't follow the gacha scene that closely, but aren't Mihoyo's games combined doing like $4-6 billion a year? The entirety of Steam is probably doing ~$12 billion/year.
At this point they frankly don't need Steam. Maybe when their current slate of games are on their deathbeds and they want to squeeze out a bit of extra cash they might come to Steam, but that's years away.
I will buy some games on the last day
Game pass getting pricier and worse
Happy I don't sub to it

Yeah I'm getting rid of my Xbox after my Game Pass subscription ends. I'm hoping to have a new PC early next year so I'll be playing mostly on that with the Switch (2) on the side and dusting off my PS5 to play GTA 6.
