NGL, I’m really digging what they are showing in this marketing campaign.
- Comment on Behind ‘Suicide Squad,’ the Year’s Biggest Video-Game Flop 3 weeks ago:
$200M ain’t no pocket change. One would hope such high-profile failures as this or Avengers would curb execs enthusiasm for live service games, but I’m not holding my breath.
- Comment on Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds - Expansion Announcement 3 weeks ago:
Erm, that’s quite the bare bones trailer we’ve got here, somewhat underwhelming. Not every trailer is going to be Long Live the Lich or War Eternal, but come on.

This is actually more to my taste than the crossword, thanks !

Hopefully this is more fleshed out than the first game’s basic horde mode.
- Comment on EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 - Release Date Trailer 1 month ago:
Story-wise EDF 6 is a sequel to 5, which was a reboot. The in-game ridiculous storytelling through radio communications is part of its charm, I find.
- Comment on No Rest For The Wicked's first hotfix addresses durability and repair cost complaints 2 months ago:
Not sure what you are referring to. The refund policy on Steam is the same for any games, early access or not. The game’s version number or finished state makes no difference.
Maybe you are thinking of the pre-purchase situation, where you can refund up to 14 days after the game’s release, instead of the date of purchase.
- Comment on SteamWorld Heist 2 - Official Reveal Trailer 2 months ago:
Oooh I really liked the first one. Slept on it for years then played it on Steam Deck. It was a perfect game for a portable gaming system.
- Comment on What are y'all buying on the steam sale? 3 months ago:
I’m on the fence about Arizona Sunshine 2. I understand it’s quite short relative to its price. I might wait for a deeper discount.

Je ne connais pas de communautés correspondant à ce que tu décris. Tu pourrais reposer ta question dans !forumlibre@jlai.lu par exemple et commencer à interagir en français et/ou anglais (le serveur francophone jlai.lu accepte les participations en anglais).
- Comment on Helldivers 2 - PC Features Trailer | PS5 & PC Games 5 months ago:
The shared-screen twin-stick design is fine, but Arrowhead has been doing it since Magicka. This feel like them getting their shot at making a wider-appeal, bigger budget game. Hopefully they stick the landing and managed to keep the feel of the original while expanding the gameplay.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
It’s kind of amazing that chose to go with that design, when they have the benefit of hindsight with recent superhero-backed games:
- the live service Avengers game flopped pretty hard
- the singleplayer Spider-man games did gangbusters
“Well duh, let’s try and make one of these live service games”.
- Comment on [Steam] Which lesser known games have you bought or are planning to buy in this sale? 5 months ago:
I bought The Making of Karateka. Not exactly a game, more like a playable documentary (akin with Atari 50 anniversary collection).
- Comment on [Steam] Which lesser known games have you bought or are planning to buy in this sale? 5 months ago:
Aragami 2 is more coop-friendly than the first game, but not as good overall.
- Comment on Forgot your sudo password ? Here is a working fix, quick and painless. 6 months ago:
Complete written instructions are in fact in the video description, too. Here they are, for first timers 😉
- While the Steam Deck is powered off, hold the 3dots (QAM) and turn on the Steam Deck.
- The recovery menu will appear. On your keyboard highlight the 3rd option - CURRENT (OS Boot Menu) then press enter.
- The GRUB menu will appear. Highlight the 1st option - SteamOS then on your keyboard press “e” to edit the boot options.
- Press down cursor on the keyboard until steamenv_boot is highlighted. Press “end” to go to the end of the line.
- Enter the command -
systemd.debug_shell
- Press CTRL-X to boot!
- Once SteamOS loads, press CTL-ALT-F9 on the keyboard to access the root debug shell.
- Enter the command -
passwd deck
- Enter new password and retype the new password.
- Once done, press CTL-ALT-F1 on the keyboard to go back to game mode.
- Comment on Forgot your sudo password ? Here is a working fix, quick and painless. 6 months ago:
Yes, it would have worked. It’s basically the nuclear option however, so definitely not my first choice. Generally speaking, you can reset credentials of any computer you have physical access to. The question is, how much data do you lose in the process.

I’ve been using Keepass for years for this ! And yet in the fever of tinkering with the hot new toy back then, forgot to save the password. But yes, this time around I did save it 😅 .

- Comment on Engineer - Weapon & Kit Swapping Keybinds 7 months ago:
I’d say it’s overkill since the weapon swap is only active out of combat… But hey, you do you 😉
In that same vein, I used to run an AHK script to toss grenades when holding the mouse button instead of mashing ‘1’ in the early years of GW2, before the feature was natively built into Action Camera controls.
- Comment on You'll be able to play Remnant 2's new DLC with a friend who has it, even if you don't own it yourself 7 months ago:
Good business decision right there I think. Akin to how Vermintide does DLC too.
- Comment on What are some alternative to soulless videogame franchises? 7 months ago:
It’s okay not to like it of course. As you have seen it’s nothing like the Trine games, sharing only a bit of lore with them.
It’s basically a very pretty arena-based top-down shooter reminiscent of Magicka (which I also loved), with a good difficulty curve. There is not much of a story to carry the game forward, so it hinges on whether you like the gameplay and the challenge it offers or not. I for one really enjoyed Nine Parchments, doing multiple runs in single player and co-op with friends (even a “hardcore” one, which we usually never touch).
- Comment on What are some alternative to soulless videogame franchises? 7 months ago:
Let’s go with some good non-AAA games that were not sequels and never got one either.
Single player:
- Baba is you
- Brothers
- Mark of the Ninja
- SUPERHOT
- Vanquish
Better in co-op
- Astroneer
- Deep Rock Galactic
- Nine Parchments
- Outward
- Renegade Ops
- Comment on Jusant has released on Steam 7 months ago:
Counterpoint: Game Pass frees you from sunk cost bias and you do not feel compelled to keep playing a game because you invested money in it. That’s mostly how I feel about it. I have noticed 3 patterns in my own usage: “full on playthrough” (actual loss of a sale), “couple of hours and call it quits” (would have been a candidate for refund), “20 minutes then uninstall” (basically a demo).
- Comment on Jusant has released on Steam 7 months ago:
It’s also a day 1 Xbox Game Pass release.
- Comment on Elite Dangerous studio Frontier Developments announce layoffs and "organisational review" 8 months ago:
The early times of this wave of VR (which really started with the commercial launch of the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive) were very exciting. Lots of “experiences” back then: sometimes mindblowing, often half-baked, always interesting. After a couple of years people realized there was no money in it and lots of them moved on.
7 years in, I’m pretty much over early access promising prototypes and flat screen games being modded to support VR. I want VR-native games-ass games of the caliber of Half-Life: Alyx, or Moss. I want VR support to be a standard feature of any new cockpit-based driving or flying game, not an afterthought. We are not getting the former, and slowly maybe getting there for the latter.
Elite Dangerous is the perfect illustration of this cycle: Frontier started supporting VR very early. My first VR experience was Elite Dangerous on a loaned Oculus DK1. It was mind-blowing ! It was also very very puke-inducing ! Then proper hardware came with the Rift and Vive, Elite had full VR support, and it was fucking great. And now, well VR support is still there, but it’s no longer first class, and slowly decaying.
- Comment on Elite Dangerous studio Frontier Developments announce layoffs and "organisational review" 8 months ago:
The lack of VR support for in Odyssey, on top of numerous issues at launch, soured me on the whole thing. I know VR is a niche that did not take off so it likely did not make sense for them to prioritize it ; but Elite was the quintessential early killer app for VR, so it stings. Shame, I spent hundred of hours in Elite and would have liked to spend more.
- Comment on Lords of the Fallen Review Thread | (74/100) 8 months ago:
Sounds like proper co-op, according to lordsofthefallen.com/co-op-multiplayer-hexworks-d…. No temporary summoning bullshit.
Except the story progression does not carry over which seems to be the new norm recently.
- Comment on Lords of the Fallen Review Thread | (74/100) 8 months ago:
Friend and I were looking for our next co-op game after Remnant 2 (very good btw) and were somewhat eagerly awaiting this one. Turns out it has the same PvP invasion mechanic as the Souls game unless you play offline. That’s a deal-breaker for us unfortunately.
- Comment on VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it 8 months ago:
Honestly even the very best VR-only games are only interesting because they are in VR.
Half-Life: Alyx is IMO still the best of those and it can be played outside of VR thanks to mods… But in that case it’s a curiosity, not an actual good traditional game.
HLA in VR is incredible though and I wish there were more games like it.
- Comment on Is Netflix's One Piece good? 9 months ago:
It’s the best of those so far: quite faithful to the original, but also constrained by live-action limits.
On one hand the over-the-top expressions and physicality (body types, wacky combat, etc) are missing. On the other the main actors are doing a pretty good job with their characters. It’s well above painful to watch, which is a low bar, but also where most live-action manga adaptations fit, IMO. Let’s say it’s almost good, but not quite.
