  • I tried the demo, and I’m gonna be honest it ain’t for me

    The gameplay is fine, but it’s the UI, controls and stuff letting it down. Its not very polished. Probably just early stages of development.

    I had a frustrating start, trying to drive a broken vehicle for about 10minutes. I even googled why I couldn’t start the engine. (No luck) Then I got out and saw the icon indicating broken car. Yeah it’s me being dumb but a well built game would think of this and help the player if they’re trying to start a broken car

    I stopped playing after about 30mins, the initial frustration used up too much of my patience

    I may give it another chance in about a year or so, when it’s more polished and maybe out of early access

    Also some of the controller glyphs are quite difficult to see on the deck, looks all jagged



  • Yeah I understand that, I’ve done a lot of research into it and not got any solution

    Most people aren’t willing to type out a username and password just to use their profile. I want the login to be one time, and just their profiles to show up. And every household has their own set of profiles

    Right now, I just have added one person from each household and they all share that same profile. I’ve added them to my Plex home so they get skip intro and whatever other Plex pass benefit. The issue with this, is that everyone shares a single profile per household (apart from my family) and we’re all lumped together in one screen








  • It’s a game that requires next to no focus to play. Perfect for putting on a podcast and relaxing. Probably best for those who enjoy driving. Not everyone’s cup of tea tho, I get that

    As for the UI, if it’s like ets2, it’s dated but not too bad. It is an old but very good truck driving game

    Especially after you configure it with control settings on the deck. It has native steam input support so all controls are configured on the deck menus itself.

    It’s really easy, I have right touchpad for looking around and using the mouse in menus, and back paddles to signals, center camera and toggle lights

    For some reason, I simply focus so much better when playing ets2 lool. I can’t listen to podcasts any other way, my mind always wonders


  • Started going through my backlog a couple months ago. I want to give all worthy games a chance, preferably complete before I think about buying another

    Started by cutting out all the trash from my library, bringing it from 110 to about 30. I then used a decky plugin to split the games up into:

    • Playing
    • Story Backlog
    • Non-story backlog

    I will have max 1 story game in my “playing” group and a bunch of non story games when I want a relaxed, not mentally focused session

    Dying light - on hold after ~10 hours

    too scary and the strength and stamina of the guy is annoyingly low. The idea of playing it sounds really fun, so I’ll probably pick it back up when I feel like playing a scary game

    stardew valley - completed main story/objective (the community center). Took me ~80 hours

    the only game I’ve completed this year but I mean it when I say I loved that game. Couldn’t put it down, even played for 8 hours straight once; which is very rare for adult me. Only stopped playing because I felt burnt out after nearly 80 hours. There’s still content for me to get back to when I want

    the Witcher 3 - currently my “in progress” major story game

    About 10 hours into my second attempt at a playthrough. Wow what a game. No spoilers at all pls even if it’s something that happens at the start

    Dishonoured - abandoned after 9 hours

    It’s a fun game, the story is okay but it’s just not gripping me. It’s a meh game. I abandoned it when I realised I kept procrastinating it and moved onto the Witcher 3 (thank goodness I did!!). Small chance I try again in the future.

    Bully - abandoned after 8 hours

    This game did not age well at all.

    Very fun idea but it’s too old to enjoy. Controls too clunky, missions are too basic, doesn’t run smoothly and just a bad experience overall. The missions are also very basic.

    Some of the casual, short session games I currently have in the rotation:

    • Brawlhala - just downloaded, seems fun.
    • Vampire survivors - lives up to the hype 100%
    • Forza horizon 5 - my virtual Sunday drive
    • Hotline Miami - stuck on a level! Quite a difficult game
    • Doom 2016 - one mission per month is enough for me!
    • Dirt rally 1 - have to be in a specific mood to play this!

    Some games in my story Backlog (in no order):

    • GTA IV - up next after I finish TW3
    • Fallout 4 - I hate bugs and spiders though D:
    • RDR2 - played prologue already
    • Shadow of modor
    • Shadow warrior

    I just realised I put so much effort into a comment no one will read 🙃 it’s too late to delete now, I ain’t getting my time back so neither are you ;)

    Now im doubling down and giving all the info!! I’ve got nothing better to do (apart from the fact I should have been asleep 2 hours ago)
