Well a chunk of them are drm free on GOG… https://www.gog.com/en/game/anno_bundle

Well… good news is you can get a slew of Rayman on GOG, which is drm free… so run it anywhere you like. :)

There isn’t a single one of my favorite games made by ubi… and ubisoft is half the reason for that.

🤮

I’m a little disappointed that Jenny’s number doesn’t correspond to an actual appid…

“track number one contains computer data so don’t play it… but you probably wont listen to me anyway…”

The put out a new marker with a new style each time afaik. So if you’re a member of the 300 club, you can tell which year it was done by the pole marker I suppose. :)

There should be real hotkey editing in the settings or it should respect the OS hotkey settings. As of now the only way to toggle this is by diving into about config and finding the flag.

Ur-Quan… isn’t that the one that stole the plot from mass effect!!! /s ;) Glad to see it mentioned… great game. So many hours spent playing that in story campaign but also super melee multiplayer back in the day. Great soundtrack.

It also imports your steam wishlist

Can also directly import from gog, hb, and fanatical. EGS is on the todo list also once they have an api or even just a public facing library. All this time and egs is still pretty bare bones on features.

True, though you don’t get the existing cloud saves so if you’ve started a game already it’s a little annoying.

That’s annoying. I wonder how hard it would be to just copy or use some kind of sync to move the files yourself.

Not a game recommendation specifically but a money extending protip.

Head over to ITAD and make an account. Then you can get notifications when all the games you’re interested in go on sales from legit resellers (including steam itself). As well as when there’s free games to be had. https://isthereanydeal.com/

Edit: also… if you collect the weekly freebies from epic games you can install heroic games launcher on the steam deck to play those.

re: unixstickers. they got bought by stickermule part and parcel afaik. Their site now redirects to sm. A lot of people won’t be happy supporting that business. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rebekahbastian/2024/07/19/how-a-ceos-political-stance-impacts-workplace-inclusion-and-customer-trust/

It’s available in a humble bundle for the next couple days as well…

Protesting a gas tax that’s to be used to fix the roads is bit “no take only throw” energy.

Just to interject a little bit of context for those that don’t know… UMU is Glorious Eggroll’s project, so it has some clout to it.

LinuxNext has a nice long video about it.

My understanding is that lutris is actually in maintenance mode (still around but not being updated) so this is meant to be a replacement for that… and bottle is a more general purpose tool without the gaming enhancements, hence this is being promoted these days.

…but if they renamed it Arch Interactive User Repository or Arch Internet User Repository, I have no problem switching to pronouncing it “eye-urr”

We’re seeing the rise of push back against AI gen stuff… https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/827650/indie-developers-gen-ai-nexon-arc-raiders

Doubling down on the glazing of the ai bubble is pretty on brand for him. In before “tim sues steam for spurious claims against ai” or some other bullshit.

Sidenote: IsThereAnyDeal.com has the steam ai declarations as part of the quick reference section on game pages now. https://mastodon.social/@isthereanydeal/115606686918493913

They do a cashgrab bs reboot of a beloved franchise… release a bland, weird AI looking movie… then get caught stealing artwork inside the game itself. “we don’t understand why you don’t trust us!!” fuuuuuckoff.
