Considering most gaming consoles use AMD hardware, they'd be having to keep up on licensing for those products as well.

So that's 13% of desktop users being on Linux. That's much more than I anticipated.

It's a great game. The story starts out relatively chill, but as you explore and start to uncover things it gets really intriguing.

The devs are working on another game that takes place in the same universe called Obenseuer. It's sincerely one of my favorite games. I get absorbed by it while playing because it's one of the most unique vibes in any game I've played. For me, it's got this melancholic, depressing atmosphere, but is simultaneously funny, quirky, and, somehow, cozy.

INFRA is fantastic!!

Once you're done, check out the dev's next game that takes place in the same universe, Obenseuer: https://store.steampowered.com/app/951240/Obenseuer/

It's one of my favorite games ever.

If I've got someone else that's also into it and frequently wants to do it together, then it's waaay easier for me to continue it. Kinda sucks cause it makes me feel like I'm putting the onus on others to keep me involved. I swear I'm not doing that on purpose!

It's probably a little harder for people with ADHD to stick with something through the lulls because we don't have that intrinsic motivation driving us to be able to experience that delayed gratification.

When trying to build a routine or a habit, it's like clearing a path through a forest and building a trail. It takes everyone dedication and effort. But for a lot of people (not everyone) with ADHD, it's probably more like a thick-ass jungle. I can do it, too, and it's gonna be a strugglebus. But once it's cleared and the pavement is down, consistent foot traffic is usually all that's needed to keep it clear.

Hell yeah, it's kinda mind bending isn't it? Feels like dragging the mouse through sand when going back to 60Hz after getting used to it haha

Source 2 is closed source, however it's absolutely available to third parties. There are a couple non-Valve Source 2 games in development right now.

I personally don't see the point.

I have really fond memories of the first Grid game from 2008. That's alongside NFS: Most Wanted from around that time, like most people it seems, haha! I also spent an inordinate amount of time playing Gran Turismo 3: A-spec. I loved the career mode so much.

My favorite cars are the Lotus Espirit and Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR, to this day, because of Gran Turismo 3 and Most Wanted, respectively.

There haven't been many recently that have piqued my interest, other than the gang all wanting to get Forza Horizon. I don't play it much on my own, though.

If there were another track game where you work up from the bottom with a shit car in different classes of races, earning money and unlocking new parts and stuff along the way, I'd be into it. It seems most newer racing games just have generic "Engine Upgrade 1"-type options, or full-blown sim where you're picking extremely particular individual pieces and tuning everything to an overwhelming degree.

I never did like using RetroArch. I always thought it was overly convoluted. Also whenever I looked something up I was trying to figure out, a lot of the explanations I'd find would be oddly rude and off-putting.

If the things you've mentioned are true, then it kinda makes sense.

[–] zaemz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ooohh! Interesting. You've got me curious about that now. I'll have to look into it.

Epic has sold Bandcamp to music licensing company called Songtradr.

 

Steam Store page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/367270/Angels_Fall_First/

Angels Fall First is a combined-arms, sci-fi wargame that first released in 2015. After 2 years, the small team behind the game has released Update 29 containing a huge amount of additions, improvements, balance tweaks, and a butt-ton more. They admit that this is a massive update, and there are likely bugs and tweaks that still need to happen, and Update 30 is planned, alongside the game's 1.0 release from Early Access.

Here's the Steam store page description:

From commanding the battle standing on the bridge of your flagship all the way down to tactical infantry firefights - AFF brings together all the combat you ever wanted in a rich science fiction setting. Boarding, pilotable capital ships, deep weapon customization and full AI support included! ... AFF focuses on team-oriented tactical gameplay and objective-based scenarios with a high degree of replayability....

I've been playing it for a while, on-and-off for the past few years. It's honestly a super fun game and I recommend it if you're into games like Tie Fighter/X-Wing, Battlefield, and Star Wars Battlefront/Battlefront 2!

The community's remained rather small and the devs know most people play against the bots, so they've improved the AI a ton. I'd personally love to get a crew together to play, so if anyone else is interested, maybe we can schedule an event or something?
