  There’s a rather long documentary on it. I want to say by NoClips but not totally sure.

  Short version is they came up with the idea in the 90s I want to say, playing tabletop with a friend group. Two main designers. Helped set up a company to make a computer RPG version and designed and built the game with a team. Outsider investing came in and bought up some amount of the company.

  Once game was built and shipped and they were looking into what to do next they were effectively ousted from the company. So the two original designers of the game now get nothing and lost control of their passion project.

  I actually looked up the source for this and couldn’t find it.

  That being said I agree with the sentiment.

  With a built in game pad. And saying a game is SteamDeck supported means it supports SteamInput which means it supports the gamepad natively.

  Friend recently asked me something similar as he’s finalizing a divorce and has started dating again, though he’s a bit younger than you (and the girl is a bit younger than your example).

  I forget exact ages but the half your age plus 7 rule was met. Say 42 and 29?

  She worked in our industry and specifically the same role he did, but at a more junior level I have to assume.

  Distilled down a but I essentially said if they like each other and they are together because of that, then it’s fine. They are both adults and can have fun together as much as they want. They need to keep that balance though. If it becomes a mentorship kind of situation then they probably both need to take a step back and reflect on what that means.

  Played the demo during a Next fest and it was actually quite fun.

  Iirc that rule was followed here… The cam was to let you know when the fresh pot was ready?

  You’re comparing a 2d custom engine. Which admittedly you wouldn’t expect to have multiple os support…but it’s built on allegro, which is open source c++.

  To a 3d game in Unreal Engine 5, which stresses even the best systems running windows.
