Ouch. Right in the furniture.

That's barely 15 months of console exclusivity for a flagship title. Sony's getting there with PC releases as time goes on.

Reminds me of Guns of Icarus, but on land and extraction shootery.

Google: Why we’re appealing the Epic Games verdict in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Sure this is about protecting their bottom line. However the argument that this contradicts the Apple vs Epic verdict seems sound.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (Steam, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series)

Pretty original mix of brawler and tower defense, with a presentation reminiscent of Okami. Avaiable on Game Pass and has a demo on Steam.

SteamWorld Heist II (Steam, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series, Switch)

Like its predecessor, it's basically "2D XCOM with skill shots instead of randomness". Highly recommended, perfect for gaming on the go with a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch.

Phenomenal game, if a bit short. And another impeccable PS5 to PC port from Nixxes.

What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? in c/games@lemmy.world

Nostalgia drive engaged !

The Crusader series (No Remorse, No Regret) could have been built upon, with its famously cheesy live-action cutscenes.

The Quarantine series disappeared after its second installment, Road Warrior. Come to think of it, most mainstream vehicular combat games went away, like the Interstate series.

The Discworld adventure games (1, 2, Noir) were famously convoluted, but they did a pretty good job of adapting Pratchett's world into video games.

Finally I would have liked to play the initially planned sequels to Advent Rising. I have (probably rose-tinted) fond memories of that game, but hey, you asked.

Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic” in c/technology@lemmy.world

The Epic Games Launcher is so far behind on features compared to Steam it's not even funny. Epic chose not to try and compete with Steam on that front and to try and force users onto the platform with exclusivity deals and sweeten the deal with free games.

The one user-centric killer feature Epic has in their stack IMHO is the built-in multiplayer crossplay. Except it's not even exclusive to their store ironically (you do need an Epic account for it though).

Probably referring to the 6-month timed exclusivity on PC for EGS that Borderlands 3 went through.

Took the plunge after 2 years, and replaced the Delta fan with a Huaying one (sh.itjust.works)
 

Now that my Steam Deck LCD has been relieved of his duties as a daily driver desktop PC, I finally went ahead and replaced the Delta fan with a Huaying one. It turned out to be relatively easy to do ; and lo and behold, it is indeed quieter.

Recent adopters may or may not know there was a medium-sized kerfuffle about disparities in noise profiles of early Steam Deck units. It was proved and narrowed down to a difference between 2 fan models (see Gamers Nexus detailed analysis).

Obviously the one I got was a "bad" one, emitting a high pitched noise when running at full speed. I did not find it unbearable but it was still not ideal, particularly when using the SD in quiet environments.

Took me 2 years to get to the point where I figured it was an acceptable risk to attempt the replacement. How many of you did the same and kicked the Delta out of your unit ?

Goodbye Roblox on Steam Deck (sh.itjust.works)
 

Well, shit. Unfortunate news from the Vinegar Discord: Roblox will block Wine in future releases.

This is going to end my "Steam Deck as a primary desktop PC for my kid" experiment.
