Is this a thing? People are buying brand new legacy gaming magazines and reading them like comic books! I’m so in!!!!

Impressed to see that "Noble Fates" is introducing Kingdoms, Diplomacy and raiding other colonies! If you haven't seen this clearly RimWorld inspired yet very awesome Colony Sim check it out! Is one of my favs store.steampowered.com/app/1769420/...

You can get so many amazing games for free these days from Games Pass, Epic Games Store, Amazon Prime… I’d give anything to have had these kind of services as a kid. You lucky youngin’s and your easy lives! I used to have to play Mega Man uphill whether I was coming or going and we liked it!

I am not bitter at all that this hotel internet is so crappy that the only way I can play “Marvel Rivals” on my Steam Deck is in practice mode against the AI… not bitter at all..

Haha love this site..

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle nails nearly everything about the best parts of the storied franchise upon which it’s based. Our review: bit.ly/3ZEjb7t

I know nothing about hockey, but a lot of people at BioWare are really into it. So sometimes, I'll look up the Oilers scores and be like "yeah, we won last night, go team!" to blend in with the Canadians 😂

Marvel Rivals feels fake in that I press the match making button and the MATCH FOUND pops within like 2 frames. Its insane.

Hilarious satire 😆

Super Metroid is an amazing game, here is a lengthy Gif of various parts of the game to honor it! #metroid #snes #pixelart #nintendo #platformer #metroidvania

Ugh you can’t do this to me @vgmuseum.bsky.social ! I have hard enough of a time finishing the games I haven’t played without being tempted to replay the classics…

I may have played a bit too much "Marvel Rivals" tonight (looks at watch in horror). I don't know why, just gave me old school Destiny feels. Will try it out on Steam Deck tomorrow and see how it plays.

Smart, fun and so very Indiana Jones, The Great Circle is a stealth action tour de force that marks a bold new era for MachineGames. Our review: www.eurogamer.net/indiana-jone...

Now THIS is how you do a Battle Pass, hope this trend continues! If I'm not mistaken Helldivers 2 did it the same way: gamerant.com/marvel-rival...

The further I get into "Drova", the more I love what I see. The world and game reveals itself to you slowly. It isn't as hard and intimidating as I expected from some of the reviews. The learning curve has been appropriate and balanced.

In a Q&A session, the developer of Marvel Rivals confirmed that the game will have #SteamDeck support on release: steamdeckhq.com/marvel-rival...

A new #SteamDeck Client update was released that adds a new setting to Game Recording, as well as general fixes for audio desync and more: steamdeckhq.com/steam-deck-c...

From a post on Bluesky from @steamdeckhq.com I discovered and bought "Drova". Since so many people in the reviews describe it as 'Gothic-like', I just bought all 3 "Gothic" games for around $5. So I'd say Bluesky has already had a pretty significant effect on my gaming life! Liking it here.

Super interesting times to be a gamer..

The PSP GPS still works in 2024!

This is the kind of thing that needs to happen more. Deadlines kill quality software.

I’m a just gonna stop saying “I’m almost done Spellforce 3!” because it just keeps going and going! Still not bored in the least and could see myself moving directly onto the DLCs.

Geeking out on some “Demeo” tonight with friends, such an amazing VR title, highly recommend. Then on to finishing another map in “Spellforce 3: Reforced”. Finished one this afternoon that almost made me rage quit but I stuck in there! Gotta go talk to a dragon now, always a good time..

We are pleased to officially announce The 2024 #SteamDeck Game Awards Show! An unofficial show, hosted by us, to celebrate and highlight Deck-compatible games: steamdeckhq.com/news/announc...

I'm honestly shocked how much more content keeps opening up towards the end of "Spellforce 3: Reforced". Feels like it's all building to a fantastic ending if you've done all the side quests too. Dying to get into the DLCs as well, this could pass Ni No Kuni as my favourite RPG.
