You don’t use the internet on a laptop?

Congrats, dumbest take you could have on this.

It’s fine to ask for money. Here I think it is just not clear why this would warrant a subscription model.

Yeah, not sure how that is confusing.

Fuck yes, Descent 2 was even better, with your small helper robot and even more cool weapons/rockets.

Is there any server component to it, other than serving updates? That would justify a subscription model, but I also cannot see any need for it for something like this.

They do. They do not care. It’s part of the problem.

No. Carbon offsetting is a scam and does not do shit for the environment.

Valid question. But this article is a physical book in your own hands. I am not saying this is safe or anything but has nothing to do with Amazon besides that they sell it.

Thanks for sharing!

Maybe should add that these are accessed via the desktop mode, discovery store. Then they need to be added as non-steam game to start them outside desktop mode.

lmao even

That’s actually a novel approach I didn’t think about. Thanks for sharing!

I am not playing a ton of games really so maybe that is also something I could consider.

What software are you using for this and could you share something you’ve written? Only if not too personal of course, I understand you might not want to share, that is OK.

I had seen Slaanesh before but it seems quite early in dev, so I am wondering if it is up to the task or not. Maybe I will give it a spin, it does come closest to what I have in mind, I think.

IGDB looks interesting, but I realise I think I’d rather like something that can be run independently or has some way to export data in some manner, maybe IGDB has that. Didn’t check yet. Reason being, as soon as they close their doors I have to start over. Maybe that will never happen, maybe it happens next month.

Not what I was hoping for, but hey, more power to you!

Are these from the epic store? I had the same issue yesterday with a game I installed via Heroic from the Epic Store. First started it from desktop via Heroic, went well. It got added by Heroic to Steam so I tested it in Game mode, worked as well.

Then I switched off and wanted to play again after a few hours, got the same issue as you in Game mode, game starts loading but spinning animation keeps showing and I can hear the menu music.

How I “fixed” it, I went to desktop and added the game as non-steam game myself, so selecting the .exe and adding proton experimental in Game mode for starting. But that made me lose my save game, since I just started it didn’t matter though, might matter for you.
