I’m a weird Deck gamer, in that I often start games and come back once in a while, which I never do on PC, where I try to finish one game at a time

• Death Crown
• Narita Boy
• Citizen Sleeper
• Dave the Diver
• Deep Rock Galactic Survivor
• 60 Parsecs!
• In Other Waters
• Race the Sun -Merchant of the Skies

It’s not really gameplay but : not rendering me deaf when launching the game for the first time, games need to have their volume down to 50% by default

I’ll skip the obvious ones with multiple artists like Furi, Katana Zero, Hotline Miami, Crypt of the Necrodancer…

I never really watched anime but I can speak for a friend of mine : they stopped watching anime because they got tired of the same tropes over and over again, and especially of the unhealthy/toxic relationships portrayed

Death Crown (2019)

It’s as if a 4x was stripped down to the essentials, just you and the map and three building types, the gameplay is basically “try to overwhelm the enemy” and zerg rushing has been my winning strategy so far. Love the aesthetic though.

Narita Boy (2021)

I first played it close to release, but got bored of the story after a while, rediscovering this one on Steam Deck, the controls and combat has surprising depth !

Yes I believe they have received buffs on blood moon maps

The Finals changed some in-game props into jack o lanterns you can throw at opponents to deal damage, and the maps have a spooky variant with spiderwebs and whatnot.

Phasmophobia is running a Halloween event amidst its console release, but it’s mostly just playing the map to make a counter go up, kind of disappointed.

Deep Rock Galactic has the usual lobby reskin, and extra cosmetics, always fun to go back to !

Interesting thing from the jobs descriptions:

Privacy Guides is fiscally hosted by MAGIC Grants, a 501©(3) public charity.

MAGIC Grants is a public charity that provides undergraduate scholarships for students interested in cryptocurrencies and privacy, supports public cryptocurrency infrastructure, and supports privacy.

There’s only a few that have managed to be praised despite being so far detached from previous iterations, I can only think or Prey, Spec Ops

I thought it was an interesting look at the perception of Britain in terms of ‘branding’ but let me know if it does not fit the community !

The website is just a front page for the report, which is actually a canvas project available here : https://www.canva.com/design/DAGTj0mFh2g/ioNSHMo4aGyOs6jwpgtgow/view?utm_content=DAGTj0mFh2g

Indeed but being able to dispose of something by selling it does not automatically means you owned it

The real Yggdrasil was the forests we cut along the way

Oh that’s funny, it’s the second time I get ‘caught’ lol

It’s a french punctuation rule (I’m francophone), which differs from the usual english one where no space is needed before the exclamation mark. basically if any symbol takes the full line height, we add spaces before and after. It’s fun to figure out if someone is francophone or not by the way they type.

Good luck with your community!!

I’m planning to go to Riga in summer 2025 for a concert, hopefully it does not get postponed for the fifth time (i was supposed to go in 2022 lol)

My bad !

I think either of these will be regarded as works of art, and jump up in rankings :

• Alan Wake
• Disco Elysium

Thank you !!

Don’t get your hopes up though:

The new studio currently comprises 12 people, including some who worked on the original game and on its cancelled sequel, and former staff from Bungie (Destiny, Halo) and Rockstar (Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption).

[…]

Longdue has not specified exactly who from Disco Elysium’s original team is working on its new game, though it has said that Rostov and Kurvitz are not involved.

Ate kebab for lunch, it was okay, but their fries were super good, a lot better than your usual kebab place
