Only managed to play Opus Magnum. It was so good.

Congrats on the new job though and best of luck!

System Shock remake gets a brand new flashy trailer
14 June 2022 at 11:32 pm UTC

Quoting: CyborgZetaI tried playing System Shock, but it's too archaic for me (and before anyone calls me a "zoomer", I'm 32). If they keep SHODAN's voice and remain true to the original, the remake (if it's ever finished) might be what I need.

You were 4 when the original came out, "Get off my lawn!" 😜 J/k.

It does stand on the other side of the line where the traditional WASD with mouse look took over. It has the older interface (like Daggerfall) that can be really hard to use, especially if you are more used to fast paced FPS.

It also had that "old school" difficultly BS:

Spoiler, click me
like to beat the game you have to go back through the entire station to get 1 digit of the self destruct code from every level, wtf?

Or

Spoiler, click me
Diego ambushing you by the exec elevator

And some truly good old school difficulty, like the wiring schematic mini game, and a few of the traps.

I didn't back it, but if the reviews are good, I'll buy it.

Minecraft - The Wild Update is out now, Java & Bedrock now one purchase

Quoting: AciDLucky for us, we still have Minetest and Terraria (this one is not open-source, but have much, much, MUCH more depth and items than MC).

Agreed, it's a shame Terraria doesn't do proper split screen on PC (but does consoles, apparently). Otherwise I'd have my kids try it.

They just realized Minecraft updated and are super pumped RightNow. They've been playing since before they could read

Quoting: PhiladelphusJust that thumbnail has me wincing—since I don't feel like watching the video, anyone want to spoil it: is the upgraded glass worth it?

Me too! That is horrible basic tool safety. I've seen to many accidents cause of things like that.

Thanks for the round up! I really hope you enjoyed writing articles like this as much as I like reading them!

I hope you all decide to do more in the future.

Owners of Dying Light get upgraded to the Enhanced Edition, final patch out now
6 May 2022 at 8:38 pm UTC

Quoting: BogomipsMy Dying Light broke two updates ago. I now have a black and brown screen with the background music.

I recommend Proton. I had the same problem when I first started playing it a few months ago. Works just fine in proton.

Still doing my first play through of the game. It's really fun. I use the proton version with zero issues (except when streaming to a steam link, where I get rare and random freezes)

The upcoming Steam Deck Dock got an upgrade, now called a 'Docking Station'
23 April 2022 at 12:40 pm UTC

Interesting. To be honest, I haven't followed the Deck Dock at all it seems.

That's really nice that they upgraded the specs. I'll admit, I think I expected a physical docking station, like laptop or the Switch, where the Deck would Dock on the Deck Dock.
