I think it’s a matter of perspective.
In your time example, I see it as time going forward, not up. It’s progressing. When you scroll with the steam deck you’re “progressing” through files, which are normally organized in a descending, downward way.
I had a coworker who would say “scroll up” or “scroll down” depending on if he wanted the document/content to move up or down.
Pretty cheap, $450 Canadian. Still took a couple weeks to sell
Same! Still got a decent price for it and I barely used it anymore. I’m happy to abstain from VR until I get that fresh new hardware.
Wall World sucked me in
It’s a super impressive game, and also very punishing. There are so many times where I get hit with crazy difficulty spikes and lose a ton of loot I spent several hours collecting. I had a particularly bad loss deep in the castle level that made me drop the game until 1.0.
I’ll be back
Nice list!
Fyi your Days Without Incident link goes to Astro Colony
This is tickling my hunger for a good MMO. Is GW1 worth playing in 2026?
Makes sense. Personally the lack of OLED isn’t a deal breaker for me. It’s a big upgrade in every way from my ancient Index
I typically just have one hand on each side
Fair assessment. It’s got all the bells and whistles except OLED. Makes me wonder if they’re planning on an OLED model in a year or two like they did with the Deck. They know there will be plenty of double dippers.
Is there any mention of a price? The store page through the app straight up crashes my phone lol
You can set it as a radial menu for various inputs. Quick save, quick load, map, inventory, decapitation finisher, etc.
Balatro and Into The Breach
Could give em the Hans Landa treatment
I’ll probably stick with the external item descriptions mod but this is a great update. The trinket buffs are so very welcome.
At this point there’s way too much quality of life added to Rep+ to go back now.
A supposed insider on Reddit mentioned that this will be their new hardware ecosystem which will allow combining multiple devices for improved performance. The example they gave was having a desktop, a Steam Deck, and a new Deckard VR headset then using 2 or all 3 of these devices in tandem for better gaming performance.
They also mentioned the new Half-Life game is likely to be announced in the first half of September for release in November, however in could be delayed until next year if they aren’t perfectly happy with the state of the game.
This person said this is all part of the “Steam Next” era which will be introduced to the world with an Orange Box kind of release.
You find them in the world and can pop them into TVs. There’s no video but it’ll play the content as subtitles next to the glowing television
To add a bit more clarity:
Difficulty 10 isn’t that hard. I regularly play on 10 and I’m not great at the game.
The truly challenging part of the challenge was that the devs were supposed to use specifically chosen niche, underutilized, and poorly balanced weapons and gear to prove the point that the devs are out of touch in regards to the gameplay and balance of the vast majority of the equipment available to players.
A big aspect of this whole situation is that it arose because a huge chunk of the playerbase is fed up with the developer’s decisions.
