VA-11 Hall-A! One of my favourite VN if my instance url didn’t give it away. It’s not too long, listen to the start telling you to get cozy and then mix drinks and change lives.

I'm a diehard firewatch fan if you'd like a slightly spooky, heart full, storytelling masterpiece about the Wyoming forest. Everyone should play this game at some point.

I think the devs just bit off more than they could chew with a game type way outside of their norm.

They’re used to making adventure and point and click games not big titles like they were trying to do for Gollum.

Oof. This sucks, it seems that if you don’t have an estabilidade name you can’t have bad “AAA” launch nowadays.

Completely unsurprising. How anyone at the studio thought that was acceptable to release is beyond me.

It's not super niche, or super on sale, but I'm really enjoying Chained Echos so far.

Hot take: Chained Echoes is a much better game than Octopath Traveler 2.

I just got and am obsessed with UnderMine, an adorable roguelite dungeon crawler a la Binding of Isaac. Currently on sale for $5!

technically a puzzle game at the same time but that’s an ace attorney pic so you’re probably cool with it

I feel obligated to recommend a Steam Deck if you have interest in one and can afford it.

We have 2 and I would get a 3rd if I could lol (with a bulky protective case etc. so I can be less careful)

The most cost efficient way to go is buy the cheapest version and then put something like this in it https://www.westerndigital.com/en-il/products/internal-drives/pc-sn740-ssd#SDDPTQD-256G

IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU GET A 2230 SIZED NVME DRIVE. 2280 drives will NOT fit.

If you don't want to do that you can alternatively just get a big micro SD card and save the SSD swap for laterFor best speeds you want it to say A2 and have a 3 inside a U.

Even besides playing video games it's an awesome little mini pc. Not perfect but awesome, and an amazing value at $359.

Bumblefumble ,

Wait does the 64GB option support M.2 NVMe? I thought it only supports eMMC and that you can't swap with a different NVMe drive, but maybe I'm wrong?

RaleighEnt ,

as someone with a 64gb deck with a 512gb drive swapped in I can confirm it works!

Yoreo ,

The 64GB emmc drive in the Deck uses the m.2 expansion slot, so you can pop out the emmc drive and swap in a 2230 form factor nvme drive and be gtg after reinstalling SteamOS.

I myself went from a 256GB drive to a 1TB drive, and this weekend, I'll be popping in a 2TB drive I just received in the mail.

Catch42 ,
@Catch42@kbin.social avatar

You can swap the ssd! Why are they charging so much to upgrade to only 256gb of Nvme storage?

Pixelologist ,
@Pixelologist@beehaw.org avatar

Probably because they're losing money on the cheapest one

APICO, a nice little beekeeping simulator with bee-breeding mechanics and building.

Ages of Conflict: World War Simulator, an incredibly cheap God-game/nation simulator. Not comparable to WorldBox, though. Just a little game for making nations fight and painting maps

A few to add in:

Solasta: Crown of the Magister - Old school D&D and tactics RPG. It’s indie so has rough edges here and there, but it’s so fun, and there aren’t a ton of games that fill the void.

Dungeon of the Endless - It’s a tower defense / tactical game with great pixel art and one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar - Excellent RPG that will remind you of old school Final Fantasy.

Tower of Time - Excellent tactical RPG

Detroit: Become Human - Cinematic narrative game about androids becoming self aware.

The Dark Anthology: Man of Medan - Cinematic narrative horror game, the first in a series of several, therefore if you enjoy there’s a lot more where that came from. (Made by the same studio that created Until Dawn.)

Doesn’t actually appear to be on sale tho

Weird. Looks like they just discounted the Endless bundle.

My mistake. (Still a great game, though.)
