I… can‘t believe this is real, what in the condescending fuck is wrong with that idiot

Manually enabling a proton version did the trick, I was able to download it after! That was a way simpler fix than I anticipated, I wonder why the Deck behaves like this for this game only (from my library at least).

In any case, thanks a lot!

I‘ve completed Cyber Hook and I can‘t recommend it enough. Screw the story, the gameplay loop and movement is what it‘s all about. It‘s an absolute hidden gem, hands down. I strongly recommend everyone to give it a shot!

I‘ve also been playing some Horizon Chase Turbo and while I think it‘s pretty unique nowadays and runs great on the Deck, it‘s a bit too fast-paced for the small screen in the higher difficulty levels. Still recommend it though.

Lastly, I‘ve done some further quests in Assassin‘s Creed: Unity and I remember reading here that the movement reached perfection in this title and while it might be the best movement in the series (I dunno), I think the movement’s absolutely terrible lol, and the combat is worse still. Everything is so inprecise and slow, the character jumps to ledges I didn‘t even think about and takes ages to climb even when pursued or flatout refuses to climb something for five seconds… And I still don‘t know why AC had to turn into these permanent tavern brawls, stealth seems to be impossible, I‘m now resorting to just smoke bombing and cleaning up every fight. I do enjoy the sightseeing and world but man… I liked Origins more as a game. I won‘t pretend like I‘m an AC god, but other entries in the franchise clicked with me more (2, Black Flag, Origins).

Fuck Microsoft for buying studios for billions upon billions and then going for layoffs after layoffs, but…

Including its prototype phase, Everwild had been in development for over a decade, with anonymous developers indicating they had struggled to nail down a clear direction for the title, even after a recent reboot of the project.

Quite understandable to me to axe a project that hasn‘t been going anywhere for a decade, only this part is understandable though.

Technically no (what game actually needs them?) but I like to do trophy hunting so practically yes.

I shouldn‘t buy anything, cause God knows I have enough, but I‘ll probably get a couple DLCs (for Risk of Rain 2) and hopefully that‘s it (Narrator: „It wasn‘t“)

Just looked at the thumbnail and was immediately like „Is this Zelda?“ without even recognizing the place lol

I‘m playing Bowser‘s Fury while waiting for some AFK grind in Core Keeper to finish for that sweet, sweet platinum.

Core Keeper‘s a really good game, the 100-skill-point-grind‘s gotta be the bane of any achievement hunter, though. Anyway, I recommend anyone who liked the likes of Starbound to give it a look.

I‘ve also finished Mario Kart World (not so patient) this week and went back to MK8 to check if it‘s nostalgia but nope, I really think 8 is so much better. A tip for anyone having trouble to three star on 150cc: Stop drifting. The game adjusts difficulty by the amount you drift. If you don‘t drift the AI stops being absolute rubberbanding BS. And you can press dpad down to rewind. If you do that before a blue shell hits, you can avoid the hit.

I‘ve also „finished“ PUBG with a friend of mine this week. It‘s a really fun game but also… so sweaty at this point that even low elo will likely absolutely smoke you. Can‘t really recommend it unless you wanna spend a long time in training to be able to keep up eventually. There‘s three casual games a day where 88% of the lobby are bots and you get to shoot at someone without getting insta headshot back, so that‘s fun at least.

„Trust me, bro, we won‘t enshitify, please don‘t leave and make something new elsewhere that’s out of our control.“

🤨

From what I‘ve heard it‘s a good game and unsurprisingly sex sells. I’m not paying 70 bucks for any digital game but I‘ll check out the demo for now to see what it‘s all about.

Edit: From my first impression it looks competently made and runs well. I just miss an option to turn off the vignette effect it seems to utilize and maybe an option to have the camera slightly closer to read enemy attacks more easily. I‘ll definitely keep this one in mind during sales.

Sleeping Dogs is easily my fav GTA-esque game and I weep that there‘s no successor, to each their own

Yes, I prefer a game that lets me figure things out on my own through gameplay instead of popups. You are (arguably) forced to engage with the game‘s mechanics to beat the level, it has parries, environmental hazards, ambushes all in it without huge punishment in case of failure. I take the aha moment of using estus over „press square to heal.“ I‘m aware that others might need more guidance, but I didn’t and hence it‘s a great tutorial for me.

I wouldn‘t mind replaying the tutorial even now after having done it dozens of times already. It doesn‘t feel like one, I’m already playing the game and having fun, immersed in its world. So my bar is: The best tutorials don‘t feel like tutorials at all.

Dark Souls since it doesn‘t stop you in your tracks much. I dislike tutorials that stop you and make you read walls of text or force you to input/click exactly what it wants you to.

I‘m trying to platinum PUBG, I never vibed with the game but now that I have fun mini goals that aren‘t „win against the sweats,“ I‘m suddenly hooked

I really hope there‘ll be a lot more Switch 2 patches. Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Pikmin 3/4, Octopath Traveler 1/2, all of these could run 1080p60 in handheld easy and I‘d love it!

I haven‘t tried knockout yet, I‘ll do that after I three star‘d the cups, I‘m looking forward to it

I think it‘s a tier below 8. The tracks feel big and empty to me, the original MK8 courses felt like a smooth rush to race through, in World I often find myself slugging through an overly broad straight. Maybe there‘s some stuff to unlock still that‘ll make the experience more exciting, but so far it‘s kinda underwhelming.

I have all games I have completed on Steam in Hidden, all games I‘ve never played in its own list and all games I have started in its own list. If I start a game I move it from one list to the other and same when I‘ve finished one. Only works for Steam stuff obviously. But I play 95% of my stuff there so that‘s good enough for me.

Core Keeper with my gf. It‘s the kinda game that just throws you in and lets you figure it out, we both like it a lot. We did a 30 minute cow rescue mission to get that cute thing into our base lol

I‘m playing Children of Morta and PUBG with a friend of mine. CoM is pretty good but it seems short with lots of goal-less grind at the end since we already rescued 2 of 3 minor gods in our initial session. So just one left plus the big guy? We‘ll see. PUBG we‘re just playing the handful casual games a day to try and sneak some achievements and have fun. Normal matches are way too sweaty.

I don‘t really have a good solo game right now, I‘m kind of just jumping between games. I‘m about to boot up Eiyuden Chronicle Rising again, which is a good game but it has yet to fully grab me. Who knows if I‘m still on it in 30 minutes.
