Has any info been leaked about the profit margin Steam Decks are for Valve?

I get it’s a loss leader to increase Steam software purchases, but would be neat to know how much of any they earn per deck.

Not seeing Transistor but if you want a female protagonist that will make you cry your eyes out at the end, I recommend her.

Games As Literature 101 has a documentary that goes into a deep dive about Red as a character.

Also some people used Red’s song from Transistor as a wedding song 😃

Now you can play as a tedious weapon shop owner lol.

I vaguely recall reading DQ3 players in Japan loved the merchant in the early game so much they made it more of a thing on future outings

Shenmue is a good example, I was hyped for it back in the Dreamcast days. I’m fairly certain we have quick time events to thank shenmue for popularizing, for better or for worse.

For better because wonderful 101 created the greatest quick time event of all time

That and gave Ed his microwave hamster. I even tried to stay up late to watch the Maniac Mansion TV show but didn’t understand the VCR too much

There are mods to make JPT much more playable I recall if you ever tried to take another crack at it.

And it had some very clever immersion but just needed more tweaking to reach Dead Space levels of HUD without HUD kind of play

Arguably the Sid Meier’s Civ board game was ahead of it’s time easily. But 4x board games today so remarkably well, and the latest Sid Meier board games can’t seem to catch up anymore sales wise to 4x board games

Thanks for the info on Severance I’ll check it out

Also $20 freaking dollars MSRP for 2K5!!

That could have led to years of football bliss for affordable gaming. But I recall EA and the NFL took exclusivity to the license and killed 2K quick

I rented Populous for SNES as a kid but they didn’t have a manual so that was a pretty tough one to figure out.

Played the crap out of Maniac Mansion but didn’t realize it was before the PC point and click craze

Good stuff, thanks!

I recall reading on how they were able to make the map and was rather impressive. I love seeing how devs find some creative way to overcome a technical hurdle

Pretty much any controller I put through the Tony Hawk test. THPS/THUG games I find require the most inputs and use of all but the analog sticks.

I find manualling the trickiest thing to do on the Site Deck Dpad. Not quite sure what it is but I think it has to do with how close my thumb is to my hand due to the pad being so close to the edge.

I do have a bit better luck playing THPS on an 8bitdo than the steam deck pad.

Fun tidbit: if you get the 8bitdo pro 2 controller, it has a switch on the back so you can alter it from Steam Deck (X) to a Windows PC (D) to Nintendo Switch (S) with the flick of a button. A universal remote

What is the percent chance of Diablo 4 being unplayable after the initial price on X years? Unless it’s guaranteed not to hinder play with future monetization plans?

Hey Comcast’s service improved in my area once google Fiber got installed.

Just goes to show you that companies are fine with you complaining as much as you want, just NEVER let there be an alternative.

I often do 2 rockets at a 45 degree angle and I can just paraglide to adjust

My list of split screen or couch co op PC games:

Wingspan

And emulator roms for 2 players:

Secret of Mana

Zombies Ate my Neighbors

Game show games (family feud, wheel of fortune, you don’t know jack)

The Minecraft builders and biomes was a decent euro game disguised as a Minecraft game.

The Slay the Spire board game looks a bit of a downgrade compared to the video game.

The Dorfromantik board game was pretty fun albeit lighter than the video game. I can see why it got the Spiel Des Jahres award.

The Stardew Valley boardgame makes wish it was more a reskin of the board game Agricola that already exists than it’s own thing, as Agricola to me is perfect.

I am hoping Terraria will be a worker placement or pickup and deliver kind of game myself, maybe like Mat Tolman’s Undermining board game or something.

Let’s hope they post a rulebook soon as I can’t find one.

I use my steam deck for work sometimes.

I log in my work site, export order lists to office cal, import them to my vendor sitesostly.

I have had no problem running MS Edge (sincey logins), Office Libre works fine, mouse, keyboard, and second monitor work fine with no slowdown for me.

The only thing I can’t get working is printing otherwise I can scrap my older office PC
