Jokes aside, what about free chess on steam? Seems reasonably polished to me, is marked playable on deck and its free. What exactly have you had issues with other chess games with? Controls?
I have PC2 in my collection but haven't tried it on the deck yet. I played quite a lot of the original Project Cars, which has a career mode, but that one is just seemingly linear progression, "moving up" in the series. It's unfortunately lacking the entire car collecting aspect, checking which of your cars works for a specific event/series, and if none fits, "go shopping" for a car that does.
I also have Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione on steam, and they are great sims to sit down in front of the tv, set up a wheel and go racing, but they, too, lack the entire car collection aspect. You start a race or series, hop in a car that's provided, and once done, you move on to the next series, abandon the old car, and get in a new one.
Really the best thing I can play is GT4 or Forza 4 on an emulator, and Forza 4 doesn't currently work on the 360 emus :(
I am honestly missing something like that, too. A racing game that's similar to Forza Motorsport 4 or Gran Turismo 4. Where you have to start off with small, cheap cars, compete with them earn money, buy other cars for other cups with specific limiations ("only FWD japanese cars built on a tuesday in 1978"), collecting cars along the way, etc.
Racing games are my absolute favourite genre. I played quite a few of them on the deck, here's a list of games I can recommend:
80s Overdrive
Burnout Paradise Remastered
Dirt 3
Horizon Chase Turbo
Make Way
Mudrunner
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered
New Star GP
Project Cars
Race Condition
Spintires
Split/second
WRC 10
Wreckfest
Note: some titles, namely Dirt 3, Project Cars or Spintires are no longer available officially, but can still be purchased on key resellers for reasonable prices.
i do love sweet potato, but quite often it seems they dont fit.
6 is so low on the list, because I genuinely never had good ones. If someone serves crinkle-cut fries, they are always the most bland, soggy, frozen industrial ones they can find.
Similar goes for 2 and 4, although they usually dont taste as bland, they seem to have some seasoning on them.
First of all:
I hope your health improves. While I tend to not read the entirety of your writeups, I always skim them and then read the details on topics that are interesting. It would be a shame to not find your posts on lemmy anymore, as I prefer the interaction over a microblogging service like mastodon.
as for your question
âŠhave you picked up any games? What have you bought,
I have picked up:
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for 3,99âŹ
Supermoves for 0,77âŹ
Mirage Feathers for 2,99âŹ
a bunch of DLC for Vampire Survivors.
Crash Bandicoot is at an all-time-low price, if you haven't picked it up in a humblebundle years ago, now might be your chance.
Another game I can recommend is "Beyond: Two Souls", which is available for 1,99⏠on Steam. It's a great story driven game, with multiple endings and great acting. You might also want to get "Detroit: Become Human", a very similar title in terms of gameplay.
honestly, it's mostly the same for me, as well. I might play a game on epic, give it a whirl and if I like it, put it on my wishlist, hoping it'll appear in a bundle anytime soon.
Fair question.
AFAIU, the GOG extension was a perk that you received for a one-time payment ($6 iirc), and I believe there were two different ways to make that payment. Continous membership/subscription to patreon was not necessary.
Unfortunately, they seem to have completely wiped information regarding this from their website, I can't find it there anymore.
EDIT: used archive.org to look up their old, pre-v2-announcement website:
Feedback in their discord seems overwhelmingly negative. Personally, them putting the GoG extension behind a paywall already left a sour taste in my mouth. Lack of GOG and Amazon support in Junk Store was always a big inconvenience that required use of heroic anyways, so for me it was more convenient to just stick to heroic alltogether. And I will keep using Heroic launcher, instead, their $40 p/a price certainly didn't win me over.
They try to make it sound like it is not a subscription model: you pay $40 for 12 months of updates and support and keep using the software afterwards without receiving updates. But in practice, this wont work for very long. Store APIs are gonna change, backends are going to break, etc., making updates be a necessity. Software as a Service.
One thing I found to be a particular slap in the face for current supporters was a FAQ regarding the future of the GOG extension for the Decky plugin:
Q: Since GOG addon support is going to be bug-fix only, will it be added to the public domain?
A: Weâre using the GOG addon as a canary in the coal mine. If enough people continue to support it by purchasing, that sends a clear signal we should keep investing time into both the GOG addon and maintaining the open-source code. However, if sales drop off significantly, it will indicate we can safely scale back or stop work on the open-source version without jeopardizing the projectâs sustainability.
It'll be self fullfilling. People are going to stop buying the GOG extension for the current decky plugin, because future updates are not guaranteed. That reduction in sales is going to indicate to them, that there is no longer demand for it and every current supported is SOL. They are not even guaranteing a fixed ammount of support for the current extension here, they keep it vague and open.
If I had paid for the GOG extension, this FAQ would make me mad.
maybe we should find another sollution than having women store money in their bras?
As a conservative, I propose women should no longer be allowed to handle money, when they go outside they need to be accompanied by their husband or father, who will handle their money for them. That way, women are also unable to spend money on useless shit like birth control, pads etc. and can use it to buy proper stuff, like beer and meat!
