This supports fullscreen! All you need to do is tap the F11 key.

I'm gay, and I loved all of the jokes in the game. It wasn't meant to be some deep statement, it was a joke... Game itself is great.

Quoting: ElectricPrismAnyone playing this with Eldewrito yet?

It works. Even renders the custom UI and menus correctly. It's perfectly legible and I see no more obvious visual glitches.

EDIT: Some distant transparent geometry (sky terrain) may or may not render incorrectly. I never played on Windows, so I have no idea if this was already the case.

This would be perfect, if it turns out to be a reality. I love the Steam Controller, but have become quite enamored with some of the fancier XB1 Pro controllers' rear buttons. This could be the upgrade I need.

Not a fan of the "pixels" rotating at impossible angles... really breaks the "retro" look.

Confessing my continued love of the Steam Controller, a few years after release

I put a stick extender on mine because I have long fingers. I cut my proverbial teeth on Borderlands 2. Before the Steam Controller, I had to be content with missing loads of what should be simple shots, due to my incessant tremors in the right arm. With the Steam Controller, I can simply hold the device and aim with my right thumb. I rock my right thumb in-place for fine-tuned aiming, and I disable aim assist.

This thing is a godsend.

Wow. A visual novel with some real depth to it. I like that the characters have some realistic personality and that there is weight to some of the choices. Too many visual novels are just collections of gratuitous sexual content, bad writing, boring characters, and no sense of direction. This looks like a nice change of pace, and a step in the right direction.

Quoting: EhvisTried it for two minutes yesterday. Since I have no history with minecraft at all, I just had an "is this it?" moment.

This is what Minecraft was, once upon a time. It's a throwback for the nostalgia.
