If you really want to blow your mind, look up the ad campaign when they introduced Chicken Nuggets in the 1980s. It was very much inspired by tempura fried chicken, so nuggets are literally the fast food version of the kind of chicken underneath the orange chicken sauce.

It's on my Steam wishlist. Since I already have a copy of Tyranny I'll probably play that before Deadfire, but I definitely want to play it! Hopefully Avowed will be good too whenever that comes out.

I love it. The key is setting the triggers as the left and right clicks though. I find clicking the trackpad not great for precision. There is a certain level of tinkering/customizing that will be needed to get the most out of the controls.

I've played several 20 year old FPS games with absolutely no native controller support and completed them all. If you put in a little work in getting the controls how you like them it makes it hard to play stuff without all the Steam Deck options.

I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm solidly in the middle of Act 2 and about to start The Winter March part 1.

I'm playing it on my Steam Deck and I'm really liking how I've got the controls set up. I grabbed a community template and made some additions of my own. I added a virtual menu for the left trackpad and changed the right joystick to handle scrolling long text and menus.

The story is good and I'm hanging in there on Easy. I figured I'd end up going down to the Story difficulty.

I mostly game on my Steam Deck and assumed Heroic was only a Linux thing, but recently learned it's available on Windows too. How's it do? I've been collecting the free games from Epic and Prime Gaming, but barely touch them. Being able to open a single launcher for everything non Steam in Windows sounds amazing!

The continued use of Next Gen for what is definitely the current console generation does make me pretty annoyed

I made it most of the way through without looking anything up which means I'm definitely missing stuff, but once I got to Xen I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing several times. I think I'm two sections away from beating the game.

I keep telling myself I'm going to give Flick Stick a try and then don't do it at all. This is the second retro shooter I've installed specifically to give it a try and then I get into the game and start running around and don't do it.

Blades in the Dark and Lancer for the haven't played at all yet answer. I think both sound really cool!

One system I'd love to play more of is the D6 system that the old West End Games Star Wars used. I know they made a generic version and I always liked those mechanics. It was super fun.

Man, I wish this wasn't a survival game because it's giving me Dinoriders vibes and I loved those dumb toys.

Grim Dawn on Steam Deck and finishing up the collectables on Quantum Break which I usually stream that from my PC to my Steam Deck. I absolutely love the Steam Deck.

For better or worse I can sit and play way longer sitting on the couch with my Steam Deck than at the desk in front of my computer.

Has anyone bought the new editions made by Renegade of Robo Rally or any of the other rereleases?

I'm curious how the component quality and overall build quality is. I have the WizKids that is the previous version of the rules, so I don't really need it. That said, I'm curious about the new rules and the fact Renegade has already produced two expansions makes me even more curious.

It took me just shy of 20 hours and that's mostly because I was so impatient and died a lot. Took me a long time to realize that jumping over attacks was just better than using the dodge for a lot of enemies.

The game almost lost me right away. It gets so much easier after racking up some levels and a fun weapon have been found.

Just beat Elderand (lemmy.world)

I played it exceedingly slow according to How Long To Beat, but I'm not the best at the purposeful combat that seems to be have really taken off in these kinds of games.

Also I was surprised that it was made with Unity and after the news today I hope that studio ends up ok if they actually go through with the proposed revenue scheme.

I played it on Steam Deck and it ran worse than I would've expected. Frame drops and stuttering happened whenever a lot was on screen unless that was on purpose to emulate retro games.

Overall I enjoyed my time with it, but a first it is pretty tough until you can start upgrading your weapons of choice.

I played about 4 hours and 15 minutes tonight while plugged in the whole time and it ran pretty great. I had FSR 2.1 on and ran most settings at Medium with a couple low like the Vehicle and People on the Street Density on Low. I switched the Textures from Medium to High for the last 20 minutes or so and I saw a minimal change in framerate. Mostly it stayed in the mid 40s while swinging around and stayed in mid 50s to 60 (I have Vsync on) while on missions inside buildings.

I'm really impressed with this thing. Next time I play I'm going to try Steam Remote Play and/or Moonlight to see if upping the graphics is worth the potential latency issues from streaming. I'm guessing I'll just play it fully on the Deck the whole time. Hopefully Miles Morales is just as optimized.

I feel like Children of Men (2006) doesn't get much recognition for being a chilling view of a future world or the respect it should with it's amazing long takes and excellent camera work. If possible watch the behind the scenes material about the car rig they built. It's so cool!

[-] doggish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm friends with one of the Evening Star guys! I'm really excited for this new game. I'm super proud of them for making something new!

The edits were because I'm still learning the Voyager interface for Lemmy. I didn't realize the three choices of photo, link, and text were separate choices. But the link is in the text and I thought the picture was nice.

Sega is giving away Steam keys for the Dreamcast era game Sega Bass Fishing here: https://games.sega.com/bassfishing/?lang=en

You have to verify your email which will sign you up for their email newsletter and they aren't going to send out keys until Aug 1. But still free game!

The game has a Platinum rating on ProtonDB and I've read that the Dreamcast Fishing Rod unfortunately won't work with the Steam version very well due to how the rod is set to emulate the analog stick. It makes the menus impossible to use.
