Not sure if it counts as a patient game, but I’ve just started Persona 3 Reload (the original game came out in 2006 and I never played it, so maybe that’s acceptable?)

I love how stylish everything is - the music, UI and animations. So pretty. The story has quite a different vibe from the other persona games I’ve played too.

I am the GOLDEN GOD

How are you running Minecraft? I’d recommend Prism launcher, and then installing the Controllable mod. It’s excellent - updates the UI and controls to match the console versions of Minecraft.

Oh it’s great! The devs have added a few new things (slightly different boss battles, the addition of side missions) but all of this adds to the experience. I played through the original the other year and it holds up well, but the remake certainly felt like the definitive experience. So personally I’d go for that if you’re new to the series.

I also played DS2 a while back, and that felt much more polished/higher budget than the original. After you’ve played the remake of 1, definitely give the second one a go.

A friend let me borrow their PS4 version. Word of warning: Do not play it on PS4. I got through it, but damn if that cobbled together abandoned mess didn’t take away from the experience at times. I dread to think how bad it must’ve been at launch! It was the side content that was mostly broken; I recall the taxi missions just constantly glitching out. The music on the radio didn’t work properly and I was teleported to the other side of the map for no reason at one point.

Despite that the story, atmosphere, design of the city and characters are all great. I’m tempted to get it on PS5 or Steam (with the DLC) at some point to play through it again properly.

Man Uncharted 4 is such a pretty game. Great shots!

I’ve got nowhere else to post this, so here’s a random screenshot from the Dead Space remake which I’ve been playing recently. Love the detail on the suit

It seems like a fun little distraction. I’m not gonna spend any money on it though

I think it’s a really clever game, though sometimes a bit too clever for its own good. The ‘aha’ moments I had throughout were extremely satisfying, especially the ones that made you think outside of the box (like one particular puzzle that made you look somewhere you wouldn’t expect). But as you say, those last few characters did require some guesswork because the clues were extremely vague/esoteric, and that made the game fizzle out a bit at the end.

Overall though it’s among the best puzzle games I’ve ever played.

I have a third party dock, but I’ve experienced a lot of the same issues you’ve mentioned. That said, the updates over the last year have improved things significantly for me.

When it comes to switching between gaming and desktop mode whilst docked I still have issues there. I usually disconnect the display whilst switching, just to be safe.

Thanks for this, but you might have to clarify for me. If I’m using a Steam Deck (and correct me if I’m wrong here), gaming mode doesn’t use the Steam Client, right? Gaming mode is more an ‘inbuilt feature’ of SteamOS?

I was wondering if game recording would now be included, as it makes reference to it here:

Fixed a problem where a Game Recording capture failing could cause subsequent captures to also fail

So is game recording now in stable?

Stealing is a crime… So yes, do it!

Haha this is excellent! I do play on PS5, but I’m glad exclusives are becoming less of a thing (it was always annoying having certain games walled off to one console). I’m not quite sure why anyone would buy a PS5 Pro…

I’m playing through the Plucky Squire. It’s lovely to look at, and really wholesome! Feels a bit hand-holdy with some of the puzzles but nevertheless I’m enjoying my time with it.

How does Vietnamese indicate when a question is being asked?

Thanks for providing these studies; that’s all quite fascinating

I guess there aren’t many older games because it’s a list of games that are available on current hardware. Those older games that do appear are there because they’ve been ported/emulated.

I’m not sure if it has Autumn/Fall vibes, but I’m tempted to get Slime Rancher 2. I guess it’s appropriate for harvest season, as you’re farming and harvesting slimes? Something about it (at least I got this impression from the first game) feels cosy and perfect to play while the days get colder.

Yesss Crosscode is incredible. The soundtrack, visuals, puzzles - just a great package overall and it has stuck with me fondly. Can’t wait for the dev’s next game.
