The sad truth is that without news like this I would've never known who this person was and ultimately I think I would've been happier.
Same applies to these certain US politicians. I know the horrible ones and none of the smart ones by name.
I wish shitty people get zero news coverage, from now on to forever, but people like OP spread the word even when the news is negative. Damn.
Wait what? Slay the Spire was on your list? Care to elaborate on that a little bit more?
All my Slay the Spire runs start with the exact same starter deck and I do not have extra health, damage, or other bonuses from my prior runs. I don't get your point.
FTL? What the heck. If I beat the flagship I don't get any bonuses for beating it for my next run.
I don't know if we understand 'roguelite where we get permanent bonuses for next round' in the same way. In Hades and Rogue Legacy your run will most likely be more stronger than your last run because of permanent upgrades. In FTL, Slay the Spire or Into the Breach you don't get those - you just expand the available starting gear / setups.
When you say perfected the formula I have to agree with you. It's such a joy to start with the same deck as the top 1% A20 only players and make your own journey. It just feels so right and well balanced.
You're the second person suggesting Deep Rock. Now I'm guessing that there are two games: one multiplayer, one not with similar names. I guess I have to research on them. Thanks mate!
Ooh. Thanks for the suggestions. Not sure about Deep Rock (multiplayer eh? Can't pause mid game, right?) but the Slice & Dice and Dicey Dungeons sound like something I'd be interested. Much appreciated.
Thanks. Hades and Disco Elysium were on my list but you had many listed that I've never heard of. Much appreciated.
I kinda get you. I too didn't like when I started always with the same starter deck but then it grew on me. When there is no game progression (think for Rogue Legacy etc. permanent upgrades) the progression is you and your game knowledge. Every single run starts the same but evolves to so different each and every time and you make better decisions over the run. I love it.
I started Brotato after some serious Vampire Survivors. I want to know what the heck is the genre of Brotato and VS and find more games like them.
Heard only positive about Balatro. I need to keep my addiction to one game at the time hehe. You know any (roguelitish?) games that are off the radar or more obscure? They seem to be my jam.
After Brotato addiction I found this gem of a game, right before the sequel announcement it seems. It's such a perfect game for the Deck at least for me - you have time to think, the controls just work and you can just put the game down and continue your run later.
Do yourself a favor and try it out even though your first runs will probably be a disaster. The core game mechanic is so tight and well done it's a pleasure to play loop after loop. 50 hours later I still want to do 'one more run'.
I have an old iPad on my nightstand and I paid for Narwhal. I have no idea why I can still use it like the 'old times' but I'm grateful that I can still browse Reddit.
It's a husk of the former site I loved but the niche communities I care are still there. I wish for and 2nd and 3rd, 4th etc dramas on Reddit to get people here but sadly it's a numbers matter game.
Firewatch on your list was awesome. Really enjoyed it.
Never heard of the second last game.
V6 and Super meat boy are such a legendary games. Enjoy! For other platformers I'd suggest Owlboy, DuckTales, Hollow Knight, Celeste and Rogue legacies when you have time or haven't played them yet.
Damn. I must play Brotato more. Not showing on the list
New year. Reflection time.
In the past half year (6 months) how much have you played with your Steamdeck?
You can compare it to your main PC/Mac or against your deck playtime of the first part of the year. Just comparison more or less. I want discussion going on.
I'm interested because I found myself to be a tiny bit deck fatigued and only in December have fun with Brotato. Otherwise I'm like 100h initial climax compared to 30h current one.
TW:Warhammer 1 has the added bonus that if you like TW:W games and in a few years buy the second Warhammer you can 'merge' the campaigns in to a bigger campaign called Mortal Empires. You can play all the factions (and DLCs you own) from both games in that campaign. Same applies to Warhammer 3
I am somewhat of a patient gamer so I tend to focus on few years old games.
Currently playing Valkyria Chronicles which works pretty well on deck ( I hate how finicky accurate aiming is ). Non-interactive visual novel storytelling and turn based combat puzzles works really well for short periodic gaming moments.
Just finished Salt & Sanctuary and the remastered Grim Fandango. Both great on deck and good games overall
I was on the edge buying the thing and told myself that if I use it 50 hours it's a reasonable purchase. Now I'm sporting closer to 200h within one year I could not be happier.
Did you have any (self made) goals when buying Steam Deck? Did you achieve those? Or did you buy it and now it's collecting dust? I'm curious
