Quoting: phil995511Great :)

They should release it for free on Steam...

Probably not a good idea, sadly. Steam reviews would crucify it in its current state. Maybe one day.

Quoting: dosIt was known that Gamescope is being used by Valve for VR already since November: https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope/commit/279146669257d374a367dce965e94e6f6792b782 :P

Good find. But there's a big difference between a six-word comment in a random git commit and a member of Valve's team making a public announcement, I think!

Buy the game, or don't, but buying it does support a confirmed bigot, as eldaking pointed out earlier. If you're one of those people who can admire the work despite the artist, that's cool. I'm generally not - doesn't matter if it's writing, music or film, if the people behind the creative work are arseholes, I don't fund them. Or I try not to at any rate. Turns out, there's an annoyingly large amount of arseholes around, sadly, and occasionally I hear about their various exploits too late.

At least by this point, you know what you're getting into with JKR.

GOTY is always tough. Best game I played for the first time this year is Monster Train, with an honourable mention to Aliens Fireteam Elite.

But the best game that actually came out this year is probably Stolen Realm. Multiple honourable memtions to Brotato, Trials of Fire, Soulstone Survivors, Spellbook Demonslayers and Wandering Village.

Quoting: Guestno insert key.
no scroll lock key
no pause/break key

Funnily enough these are the same three keys on my keyboard that I hate myself for accidentally touching. Their existence (to me) feels like a dinosaur marching through a modern city. I'm genuinely amazed that anyone would miss them!

Early in my career, I'd often get support calls from confused staff using Excel when they'd accidentally hit the scrlk key. I don't know of good uses for any of these!

You gotta be be quick to beat Liam - he did an article on this about 2 hours before your comment. The man is a machine!

Quotea really expensive Steam Deck with wheels

Haha! That's about the only description that would actually tempt me to buy a Tesla. And it's still a hard nope.

I'm absolutely loving that Sony is so committed to the PC industry and the Deck these days... even if my wallet isn't. I'll pick up Spiderman in the sale, then this (Last of Us) when it comes. Might do the Morales game in late Q1. They're all quite beefy purchases, but a) they're awesome games, b) they're Deck-verified and c) no DRM (or at least, no deal-breaking Denuvo, from my point of view).

Is this... Linux gaming? Can't say it hasn't been a long time coming, but good grief, it's unrecognisable from where we were just five years ago.

It's not on this list, but I just bought "Stolen Realm" to play with a couple of mates and even though it's turn-based, it's an absolute blast. Great customisation, fun battles, and because everyone takes their turns simultaneously, the pacing is superb. Big thumbs up from me!

I think I was put off before because the screneshots made it look/feel like a 6 player party game and that's a lot to juggle. But nope - I played it single player, party of one, and it was great. Even better in a party of three with two mates. Or mix it up and take 2 characters each. Loads of variety and the game scales accordingly.

Quoting: b4lvBut it's been free to play for years. The only change here is the game's name.

I'd assume not, given that in the developer's own announcement, they say:

QuoteGene Shift Auto is now F2P. This will massively grow our playerbase, get fresh faces into our community and allow you to play with your friends for free!
