Doom Eternal TAG part 2 finished on Ultra Nightmare.
I feel like playing Custom Master levels makes everything feel so easy. Mainly cause those mods are so bullshit lol.

models from daz3d
I did not know about this software. After a quick look, this is clearly what many weird games use for 3D models.
could some of y'all show off some of your grid images for categories you made?
I don't have categories, and I don't have custom grid images, so have a look at the installed games instead:

Y'all really don't know much about Shin Megami Tensei huh? I mean surely y'all know about its history or themes right? I'm not that fully knowledgable but I really like the themes that the game is structured around.

For now though, have glorious SMT art-


Seriously this is the franchise that originally debuted as a novel about a japanese teenager in the 80s using a laptop to perform demonic summoning rituals using computer code

I mean it is called "Shin" for a reason after all.

Funny how obsessions work. Now that I thought about Phone + Kishi I'm not in such a rush to buy games. In a way, it's cool :thinking-face:
Do people use this combo here ? Is it really comfortable and a legit way of replacing a Switch for Handheld PC play ? Not a fan of streaming, but I clearly don't have the budget for the PC Handhelds on offer elsewhere.

I use a GameSir X2, which is very similar to the Kishi. I connect to my WiFi router via 5ghz, and my PC is connected to the router via gigabit ethernet.

The long and short is that it works perfectly.

One thing I'll say is neither the Kishi nor the X2 support audio pass through, which is a glaring omission. So be prepared to use wireless headphones. With that in mind, you want a set that uses a lag-free codec if you are playing games that will be affected by audio lag.

Alright how about a little something fun:
Every now and then I post about the grid images for some of the categories I made. If it's OK, could some of y'all show off some of your grid images for categories you made? Even a quick snapshot of 8-10 games at random would be fine.
I had to format my PC but I had some custom images I've made for games that didn't have a proper image at the time, they are still saved on an imgur album. Some of them:

Hajime no Ippo VR game on steam when? :thinking-face:
Oh man, that song brings me back. Hajime no Ippo is one of those shows I'd love to rewatch but I just can't bring myself to start something that has a bajillion episodes. Same reason why I've pretty much given up on ever watching One Piece beyond the first couple of arcs.

It was a 20€ game.
Good worth-to-mouth can only go so far and a 50€ investment, for the base game, is a hard sell...

Edit: If you allow me to be smug for a while, this is par for the course for japanese devs/pubs. Their respect for the average player/consumer is almost non existant and their economic practices are egregious. Maybe my opinions stem from the fact I didn't grow up on consoles so most of their franchises/IPs are alien to me, and the fact I don't like anime or their usual tropes, but it's time we all put eastern and western devs/pubs on the same level of accountability and demand the same respect from both.
For sure. People love to make excuses for Japanese developers and publishers with "it's a niche game", "small indie developer, please understand", but it just doesn't fly when you have Larian creating a game like D:OS2 in 2 years. It released worldwide in multiple languages (and the script is fucking MASSIVE), shits on all those early-PS3 looking games that Japanese devs put out to this day when it comes to production value, and all that while launching at $35. And don't forget that PC players got the Definitive Edition which launched on consoles as a free update (enter Atlus with P5R at $60 and new DLC on top of that). They're extremely greedy, but since their games are less popular, most of the audience is fanatic and will defend their practices with mental gymnastics.

At best the series combined has like 100-150 episodes (combined with ovas)

Dying Light can be so frustrating. Basically every time they put you in mandatory combat situation game reaches low point. But parkour is not fluid either, Mirrors Edge is still golden standard for first person parkour in my opinion.
core parkour mechanics in ME1 were good, rigidly linear trial-and-error flow wasn’t. Game really needed less linear level design and more forgiving collision detection for things like wall runs and ledge grabs, and the lack of a “restart at last checkpoint” option is indefensible. I gave up on one of the last few levels when I fell to the bottom of a very difficult vertical platforming section and survived; if I had died, I would have restarted at a checkpoint midway through, but since there’s no “restart at last checkpoint” option and autosave points aren’t the same thing as checkpoints, I would have had to do the whole thing over and I just gave up there out of frustration

haven’t played Catalyst yet though

How you dare review bomb an small company such as Square-Enix who sold just 2.1 million copies of Nier Automata and didn't update it a single time since release.
Don't be too excited, review bombs don't work on steam anymore, give it a day or so and the scores will be back to "normal" and SE won't care anymore....

Sea of Thieves passed the mark of 20 million players, too bad MS don't publish the percentage in each platform.

It won't affect Tomato that much but they didn't do Replicant any favors when it releases next month.

A genius move by Square.

Piss off loyal customers as much as you can and then ask them for 60$ dollars.

I only see list view. Where it has info on right side when clicked. I can't change the tiny icons on the left side so I assume this isn't grid.

**

I see icons when I hit home. I see recent and my lists and suggestions. I do not see installed.

Just have one category, non-steam. If it isn't on steam I tend to forget to play the games that I bought outside of steam that I would like to actually play, so yeah. Steamgriddb covers almost all of the custom images and banner now.

oh, they'll release it on steam as well ... as a new app ... $60 ... no discount for previous owners
That's fine. I'm a patient man. I can wait until both it and Nier Replicant get deeeeeeeeep sales. By then I'll have forgotten all about Automata's story and it'll blow my mind all over again. :smart-thinking-blob:

Scroll down your screenshot and you should see the list of your games in grid below recent games?
I think your need to beat games is like 11 games so it might not be shown because not a lot of games? Maybe switch to a different category with more games.
Scrolling down shows me my one other cat and than suggestions. Nothing else....well I can change one to all games but that makes everything huge even with my massive amount of stuff installed.
