Ouch. Right in the furniture.

That's barely 15 months of console exclusivity for a flagship title. Sony's getting there with PC releases as time goes on.

Reminds me of Guns of Icarus, but on land and extraction shootery.

Sure this is about protecting their bottom line. However the argument that this contradicts the Apple vs Epic verdict seems sound.

Good production value and very faithful to the original as far as I remember it. It got a few chuckles out of me ; I think I'm in for the ride.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (Steam, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series)

Pretty original mix of brawler and tower defense, with a presentation reminiscent of Okami. Avaiable on Game Pass and has a demo on Steam.

SteamWorld Heist II (Steam, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series, Switch)

Like its predecessor, it's basically "2D XCOM with skill shots instead of randomness". Highly recommended, perfect for gaming on the go with a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch.

Phenomenal game, if a bit short. And another impeccable PS5 to PC port from Nixxes.

He's well liked because he came from the trenches and has a good track record of knowing his shit. When compared with the likes of Kotick or Guillemot, it's a breath of fresh air (despite being such a low bar). However as one of the highest execs in the entire gaming industry, this is the kind of stuff he does all year long.

Plus you know, his public-facing image is well curated and people like it.

What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? in c/[email protected]

Nostalgia drive engaged !

The Crusader series (No Remorse, No Regret) could have been built upon, with its famously cheesy live-action cutscenes.

The Quarantine series disappeared after its second installment, Road Warrior. Come to think of it, most mainstream vehicular combat games went away, like the Interstate series.

The Discworld adventure games (1, 2, Noir) were famously convoluted, but they did a pretty good job of adapting Pratchett's world into video games.

Finally I would have liked to play the initially planned sequels to Advent Rising. I have (probably rose-tinted) fond memories of that game, but hey, you asked.

Took the plunge after 2 years, and replaced the Delta fan with a Huaying one (sh.itjust.works)
 

Now that my Steam Deck LCD has been relieved of his duties as a daily driver desktop PC, I finally went ahead and replaced the Delta fan with a Huaying one. It turned out to be relatively easy to do ; and lo and behold, it is indeed quieter.

Recent adopters may or may not know there was a medium-sized kerfuffle about disparities in noise profiles of early Steam Deck units. It was proved and narrowed down to a difference between 2 fan models (see Gamers Nexus detailed analysis).

Obviously the one I got was a "bad" one, emitting a high pitched noise when running at full speed. I did not find it unbearable but it was still not ideal, particularly when using the SD in quiet environments.

Took me 2 years to get to the point where I figured it was an acceptable risk to attempt the replacement. How many of you did the same and kicked the Delta out of your unit ?

Stuff I always have in my pockets when outside the house (sh.itjust.works)
 

Nothing particularly original, but it's mine, so here goes.

  • Earfun Free 2: good for listening to podcasts on the go.
  • House keys: well, duh.
  • Olight imini: handy and really tiny flashlight.
  • Mini push dagger: oldest thing in there, got it more than 20 years ago. Says "United" & "Taiwan" on the sheath, so it likely is from United Cutlery.
  • Kershaw Launch 11: my current all-time favorite pocket knife. Small enough to fit in a 5th pocket (but not "deep-carry"), yet handles really well with my not-too-meaty hands.
  • Bellroy Card Sleeve Black: small enough to keep credit cards and such in regular pants' front pockets.
  • Zippo Lighter Spectrum: really a fidget toy for me since I do not smoke, so pretty though !
  • Kleenex mini pocket tissues: the runny nose unwavering companion.
