I feel like I’m ranting but I just want to talk about this game so much. The game is basically linear, but if you find a random hidden path you’re rewarded with a tiny bit of environmental storytelling. If you work your way off the main path, you find entire sections of jump challenges that have no purpose to the game. It’s like the game is saying “Look at this thing I built! Come jump around for a while!”

Lorn’s Lure - This game absolutely enthralled me over the past 2 weeks. It’s a parkour/exploration game, one developer, and it’s just so well designed. Punches way over it’s price for $15.

The maps are these enormous sprawling runes of an ancient machine, and there so much to find and see in each level. Then after beating the game you can go back with all upgrades and there are so many new paths, new secrets. There’s this special feeling when a developer adds so much in just for their love of the game. Things that don’t unlock new content, don’t satisfy any goals, just more fun and interesting stuff to look at and play around in, if you want. Then you get to the last level and it’s such an emotional peak. It’s like the dev spent 7 chapters just teaching us, preparing the player for the final level, and then doesn’t hold anything back.

AND it relates to both Hatch and Kill the K.O.T.H., Hatch specifically could be a lesson in pacing, I recommend that as well for anyone interested.

Oh, is it that time again? Time for warm tea, cozy blankets, and cowering from wolves in The Long Dark? This is the game that fully convinced me on the steam deck.

I used SimulaVR pretty regularly for a while! I’ve moved and don’t have my VR headset set up anymore, but it was a good month of usage for programming, but the tech has probably developed since I last used it.

This comment is decrying it’s parent, but it doesn’t say anything to refute the points made. Energy use, intellectual property theft, and non-consensual porn seem like pretty decent things to be worried about.

You can play BAR on the steam deck!? That’s awesome! But how are the controls? Playing without keyboard/mouse?

Eyyyy I love this game, I never could get a good run build going. Maybe it’s time to re-download it

Number gets big and brain gets happy

Love lazygit, am I better or worse a git now? Idk but I’m doing it much faster

Try starting with LazyVim! It has a great selection of plugins pre-set, and it all works out of the box. It’s a great way to get started, and then you can add/remove plugins later on. Also, it’s keymap-shortcut page is great for the first week or so of learning the commands.

And it helps the emulsion! Keeps everything thick and creamy.

$1,400!? That must be one hell of a chair to justify the price.

Yea, this is a surprisingly good read, and it covers a pretty wide breadth of topics.

If we’re being pedantic, the post said “reel in” international shipping, not “ending”.

A lot of European countries aren’t in the EU. Turkey, the UK, Norway and a bunch more.

I’m inordinately interested in your solution here. For all of our sakes, make a post about it.

Anyone with a Steam Deck looking for a deckbuilder roguelike with a great story, look at Inscryption. The game is a roller coaster, and great on deck.

I think that many people in this situation may work or have things to sell. This position is sometimes like a rapid decline, not a permanent state of being. Plus drugs are cheap, $20 could get you high all day.

For anyone thinking about watching this video, it’s GREAT, and has a ton of other interesting tech videos on the channel.

Warhammer 40k has been great for this
