I thought the forest was quite fun. Idk what it was about it. I want to try sons of the forest. Haven’t loved the others I tried though

I mean tbh at the height of the show the press conferences were awesome. The shows didn’t have ads (unless you count the games themselves being ads which like, fair I guess). Idk I loved tuning into the shows and seeing announcement after announcement. Sonys 2016 show was a particular highlight. Having a live orchestra to do all the music even during the trailers was a really cool performance imo. It was more than just trailers

Well yeah but the esa was still trying to keep it running. This is the final announcement that they aren’t even trying anymore. It’s done done this time

I’ve gone through this song and dance before with my old games and the most success I’ve had is with wine on Linux. It’s not foolproof unfortunately, and takes a bit of tinkering. It likely won’t work for every game either. You’ll probably want to find tutorials for each specific game you’re trying to run. Another option I’ve had some success with is running a windows xp VM. But again this isn’t foolproof and requires some technical literacy

Well typically the outlet convenes with a bunch of people who have played a wide variety of games, so I feel they have a pretty good pool of minds to pull from.

Also I don’t think it’s a bad system compared to having it be all user voted. Golden joysticks already exist for 100% public vote, and that can be easily influenced by bots and the like. Also half of the games nominated for game of the year this year were open world games that were not short. I mean I don’t think many expected in January a crpg would win in a year a Zelda game came out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hope the vc money doesn’t lead this project astray but since w4 and Godot are technically different things, hopefully even if it does become annoying Godot can live on unaffected

Yeah. Basically the people who pick the nominees vote, and the public is also allowed to vote and their results count as 1 vote. Its mainly game news outlets that do the nominees and voting

No silk song news 😭😭😭

Overall good show though. Sooooo excited for world of goo 2. New kojima game I’m hyped for as well.

My personal goty was re4 remake so kinda sad but I’m not surprised. This year was too stacked

Definitely excited for pony Island 2! Inscryption is one of my faves of the last few years

Voxelgram is a 3d picross clone. It has random puzzles it can craft for you. It’s also available on android

Well I didn’t first discover it on deck but I play a ton of Spelunky 2 on deck. Every time I boot it up intending to play something else, I see it there and go, “ooook just a couple rounds”

This happened to me but the non perma death modes have helped haha. I want to get more into it

I also love peglin! The first few crucible levels are really fun and I enjoyed going through them. Omg though once you get to the last few it becomes a total slog. I still was able to get through all 15 on 1 character but I have no interest in trying to go that far on the others

You can’t stop me… 😭

Yeah. It’s unfortunate. I really like Eurogamer, rps, and gamezindustry.biz and all those places. My combo of addons and filters seem to stop the cookie stuff but I know it’s obnoxious if you don’t have that set. Thanks for the link!

Ohhh nice. I love love love ROM hacks. I’ve been playing a ton on my analogue pocket. Def checking these out. If anyone has any other good lists I’d love to see them!

Aww. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Oh this looks really slick. I haven’t done much Xbox stuff in my steam deck so this wasn’t on my radar. Thanks!

If you are comfortable tinkering a bit, I’d recommend checking out the Decky loader This tool adds the ability to get a lot of different plugins for your steam deck, from changing the home theme, to editing fan controls. There are a lot of tools here.

If you want to emulate, emudeck is another great tool. It’ll set up a bunch of stuff for you and download emulators and set them up with good configurations for steam deck. I also believe if you do this, it will set up decky loader for you (don’t quote me on that, it’s been a while since I set it up)

For epic game store games, id recommend checking out Heroic launcher. It’s an open source launcher that connects to gog and epic games accounts and lets you download and play games you own on those stores. Another option is The non steam launcher tool on GitHub. This allows downloading a bunch of various launchers, including epic.

As for Xbox game pass, the situation is less ideal. If you have gamepass ultimate, you can utilize Xbox cloud gaming to play your gamepass games. This article is by Microsoft to set up cloud gaming on your deck. If you want to play then natively, you’ll need to dual boot your steam deck to have a windows partition. I have personally never done this, but I have friends who have, and it works well for them.
