  • Yes the issue with these L4D clones is that they have to improve upon the L4D formula, or have an interesting take on it. Vermintide and Payday succeeded on their own merits even though the core gameplay loop is very close (and it took each of them two games to get there).

    I have tried both Back 4 Blood and the Anacrusis (in early access), and was pretty much over them after a couple of rounds.

  • Complete written instructions are in fact in the video description, too. Here they are, for first timers 😉

    1. While the Steam Deck is powered off, hold the 3dots (QAM) and turn on the Steam Deck.
    2. The recovery menu will appear. On your keyboard highlight the 3rd option - CURRENT (OS Boot Menu) then press enter.
    3. The GRUB menu will appear. Highlight the 1st option - SteamOS then on your keyboard press "e" to edit the boot options.
    4. Press down cursor on the keyboard until steamenv_boot is highlighted. Press "end" to go to the end of the line.
    5. Enter the command - systemd.debug_shell
    6. Press CTRL-X to boot!
    7. Once SteamOS loads, press CTL-ALT-F9 on the keyboard to access the root debug shell.
    8. Enter the command - passwd deck
    9. Enter new password and retype the new password.
    10. Once done, press CTL-ALT-F1 on the keyboard to go back to game mode.
  • Yes, it would have worked. It's basically the nuclear option however, so definitely not my first choice. Generally speaking, you can reset credentials of any computer you have physical access to. The question is, how much data do you lose in the process.

  • I've been using Keepass for years for this ! And yet in the fever of tinkering with the hot new toy back then, forgot to save the password. But yes, this time around I did save it 😅 .

  • Be your own streaming service, and keep using the FireTV stick with the Jellyfin app.

  • It was ! The HUD elements and reverse image search helped though.

  • Found the last one: The Knight Witch

    • Slime Rancher
    • Persona 5
    • Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
    • Midnight Suns
    • ? Not sure, looks familiar though.
  • If you're not in a hurry, get the OLED.

  • Technically yes, but it's a subpar experience due to overall performance on the SD.

  • It was underwhelming compared to season one, which upped the ante which each episode. It overly relies on a MacGuffin which is kind of boring. They certainly followed HWR's words to the letter, "you can't get to the end until you've been changed by the journey" and so on. Unfortunately, said journey was a lot less riveting than season one's. It may be harsh but the five first episodes felt like filler to me.

    The finale however, really picks up the pace and delivers a memorable and a worthy conclusion.

  • I would say it is more of a practical consideration. Private trackers generally enforce upload/download ratios. This ensures the health of the sharing pool stays good.

  • Good business decision right there I think. Akin to how Vermintide does DLC too.

  • The new MW3 steam reviews are locked until its official release, as is always the case. People are venting where it is both possible and making some sense.

    The author likely is aware of this and just likes to poke fun at angry CoD fans.

  • Sustained ! Although I thought SUPERHOT Mind Control Delete was more of a roguelite spinoff than a sequel (did not play it).

  • Let's go with some good non-AAA games that were not sequels and never got one either.

    Single player:

    • Baba is you
    • Brothers
    • Mark of the Ninja
    • SUPERHOT
    • Vanquish

    Better in co-op:

    • Astroneer
    • Deep Rock Galactic
    • Nine Parchments
    • Outward
    • Renegade Ops
  • Counterpoint: Game Pass frees you from sunk cost bias and you do not feel compelled to keep playing a game because you invested money in it. That's mostly how I feel about it. I have noticed 3 patterns in my own usage: "full on playthrough" (actual loss of a sale), "couple of hours and call it quits" (would have been a candidate for refund), "20 minutes then uninstall" (basically a demo). It's likely Jusant here will fall in the middle category since I already played the demo during Steam Next Fest.

  • It's also a day 1 Xbox Game Pass release.

  • Yeah well, some of the most popular games in the world like Fortnite or Valorant cannot be played on Linux. Hell even Roblox which used to work was broken for 6 months this year due to a new anticheat (until it got fixed).

    As for Xbox Gamepass ? Streaming only. Using a Thrustmaster wheel ? Fortunately someone is working on that, but not everyone is willing or able to build and load their own drivers into the kernel.

    Setting aside potential "hurr hurr don't play these games" comments ; there is no way around using windows if you want access to all PC games, not just some PC games.
