Cruxifux , in Do NOT smell your Deck!

fumes? Does this handheld device run on a literal steam engine or something?

KickMeElmo ,

New electronics will have a smell mostly from adhesives outgassing. Those fumes.

Cruxifux ,

Yeah I figured it had to be glue or plastic based fumes from heat.

This is the only board I ever smelled that was pleasant. Usually a circuit board smells faintly of burnt plastic and pee, even new.

teawrecks ,

Well, I guess we found who the warning was directed at lol

Sabata11792 ,
@Sabata11792@kbin.social avatar

It seemed like a disclaimer more than a warning.

scarilog ,

New electronics usually smells really good. I cannot be the only one.

Z3k3 , in Diablo 4 Steam page is up - Release Date: 17 Oct, 2023

I’ll be honest. The fact it wasn’t on steam never entered my head when deciding not to purchase this one

MolochAlter , in Microsoft - keep your filthy hands off Valve, leak shows MSFT would buy Valve

“Would buy Valve”

Yeah, no shit, so would I.

Who’d have thought that they have eyes and can do basic math?

Valve is a money printing machine with a ludicrously devoted client base, it’s a no brainer to want to buy it, but it’s not publicly traded so good fucking luck LMAO.

ramenbellic , in I wish we could delete all achivements for a game easily - The story of the evolution of a gamer

Steam Achievements Manager (SAM) would allow you to reset those achievements.

Kyoyeou OP ,

Someone proposed it and i did! I am back at 168 achievements I actually worked for!

Blxter ,
@Blxter@lemmy.zip avatar

Yes, it works for that but it will not work to make a game “unplayed” and have the achievements not count toward the overall completion rate. Unless things have changed.

Hawk , in Do you think the steam search is bad?

When Googling the store page, it says:

Notice: Night Run is no longer available on the Steam store.

So I guess it makes sense you can’t search for it.

Cqrd ,

Yeah, I’ve noticed this happens when steam removes a game. They need to do a Netflix sort of thing and be like “We know this exists, but we don’t have it”

Vespair , in overwatch 2 a few hours after launch

Eventually people will need to accept that the Blizzard we all loved died long ago, and stop rewarding the ghoul that now inhabits its corpse.

UlyssesT ,

It died many years ago, and it should have been a signed death certificate moment to see one of the main people behind the original two Diablo games, one that had gotten vocally critical of the bullshit at Blizzard and had left to start the Torchlight series, received a “fuck that loser” very-intelligent Twitter remark from one of the corporate failsons wriggling around in Blizzard’s corporate corpse.

EDIT: The early company wasn’t that wholesome chungus either; the systemic sexism was there basically from the start, especially with the “listing the only female employee as the dog roaming the office” so-true

Mythril ,

This is one of the reasons why I don’t really want to buy the new Diablo game even though my friends are playing it and it sounds like it’s gotten good reviews. checks metacritic, critics score 86, user score currently at 2.0 Yeah figures lol

Huschke ,

Im embarrassed it took me until Diablo 4’s 1.1.0 patch to finally figure this out, but here we are.

Guster , in I'm in this picture and I don't like it

I don’t know why I bother upgrading my PC when I’m still playing 10 year old games

Piemanding ,

So you can click on that game 10 seconds faster.

doingthestuff ,

Also I can finally max out the settings on that 10-year-old game and do it at 4K/120.

henfredemars , in How do I cope with the Steam Community?

Maybe there is no need to cope in the sense that it’s just not a good fit for you. I use Steam to play my games, but I have no interest in the community features.

magic_lobster_party , in PlayStation's CEO drastically underestimates the Steam crowd's patience, thinks PC gamers will buy a PS5 for exclusive sequels

I have enough many other games to play on PC. I’m not going to buy a new expensive device just to play a few extra games.

corsicanguppy , (edited ) in Sony backs down regarding Helldivers PSN account linking on PC

If they tried it once, they’ll try it again.

Some of us have had managers like this: implement something dumb, walk it back, try again every 15 months.

shasta ,

If they tried it ones, they’ll try it twos.

FTFY

Got_Bent , in List of countries that cannot make a PSN account, following the Helldivers 2 controversy.

I don’t know what a PSN account is, but I’m surprised you can get one in North Korea.

ILikeBoobies ,

Sony Account (PlayStation Network account)

TheWolfOfSouthEnd ,

I’ve always wondered how much we are lied to about North Korea.

CaptnNMorgan ,

I would imagine, very little

ClaireDeLuna , (edited ) in I'm mildly proud of how I categorise my games on Steam and interested to see others' methods

I tried to sort by genre too many times and failed due to how specific some games get. So now they are sorted by completion.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/45e63e40-3395-4e58-8041-70eef5a1f663.png

I also have a huge word document that has a very detailed, color-coded checklist of every game I have sorted alphabetically & by franchise, this was made so I could include any games from my other devices.

Rai ,

What’s in “DONE - DIDN’T LIKE”? I’m curious as to what you’ve finished despite not really digging it!

ClaireDeLuna ,

“Done” doesn’t always mean complete, generally that’s where games go that I didn’t finish, never returned, and don’t plan on ever playing again.

But to answer your question

Far Cry: horrible update, AI is broken, don’t care to fix it

Far Cry Primal: Didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it, caused major eye pain too so I couldn’t play long.

Penumbra: Requiem: Abandoned the vibes of the previous two penumbra games which were the precursors to the amnesia games, didn’t enjoy the puzzles either.

Planet Centauri: Development Hell, no interest anymore.

Sniper Elite: weird funky controls just not enjoyable for me got about midway through before tapping out.

We happy few: mostly abandoned by the devs, game suffered due to being rushed.

Out of those I beat 3, the rest I either didn’t make the return window or kept for library collection reasons.

Rai ,

Fair! I’ve tried but haven’t been able to get into Far Cry games. I intend to try 3 again. Loved the first two Penumbras, but I’ve never heard of Requiem. I hella feel you on the controls of Sniper Elite, also.

ClaireDeLuna ,

For me personally 3-5 were solid Far Cry titles! I haven’t beaten 2 yet though. They are “AAA” titles and the corporate parts show, especially in 5. But I love the sandbox environments and the stories are dumb fun imo. Great “brain off” games (stealth is fun too)

MadBob OP ,

I do like the use of square brackets to abuse the alphabetisation.

Okami_No_Rei ,
@Okami_No_Rei@lemmy.world avatar

Saving for reference. You’ve got a good thing going here. I need to steal some of your ideas for my own collection.

darkstar ,

This is amazing! May I please copy your system? :')

ClaireDeLuna ,

Of course!

cradac , in Steam adds "Dwarf" as a tag

Big win for gamers

NOOBMASTER , in Capcom appears to have added DRM Enigma to more of their games on Steam

This simply means that Capcom games (sadly) have to disappear from my wishlist, and instead they will appear on my treasure map now, which charts a course through seven seas.

SuperSpruce , in How would you change the Steam Interface?

They should focus on performance over UI changes. It takes 20s to open on my fast gaming laptop. That’s not far off from EGS and Windows itself. Meanwhile, the electron-based open source Heroic launcher takes 3s to open.
