  • Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up?

    Jump

  • Picked up Eastern Exorcist. Got it for free for Android from epic but no gamepad support. So now I buy the Steam version for gamepad support. Solid game

  • Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases

    Jump

  • I do buy new games even full price on rare occasion. Regardless of that, there's nothing new games do much better than old games besides graphics and that mattering declined hard once league of legends, counter strike, fortnite, minecraft, roblox, etc became people's childhood to their ongoing adulthood games. I've met people that haven't spent a dime on genshin impact while having played for 5 years

    No one is missing out on the best 2025 games if they're playing the best games of 2015. Time is finite and if it's filled with good, what difference does it make if it's new or old. You're not missing out if you're playing the best games of 2000-2014 in 2025.

    I follow emulation on Android communities and people love playing the greatest hits of the PS2, Gamecube, DS, 3DS, PSP, Vita and it seems to mostly be teenagers. And now we're getting good PC emulation support and PS3 and X360 support is progressing. Switch on Android emulation is pretty good now. Android, Steam Machine, Steam Deck, Steam Frame, Legion Go, Rog Ally, GPD Win, Ayaneo. Even Switch 2. The relatively low power gaming scene is growing and that bodes well for "classic/retro/oldies" gaming.

    It's been 12 years since the PS4 launched. Early PS4 games don't play much different than 2025 games. The classics oldie radio station of games are soon going to be very modern. 2007 Bioshock era games are already very modern and look pretty good too

  • Darksiders bundle and Halo Master Chief Collection.

    Sifu. Not that old but cheap enough

  • Steam winter sale is now live

    Jump

  • After 16 years of sales, my library is filled to the brim with almost everything that goes 75%+ off that I would want. It's like 3 games a year now that I don't already have finally hitting the impulse buy range for me. Outside of that, fanatical and humble bundles round out my let's buy a game id never otherwise buy and try

  • Lenovo is reportedly planning to release a SteamOS variant of the Legion Go 2 at CES 2026

    Jump

  • Was Source ever simply a public download available for developers to use? Same with Source 2? Available to download with licensing terms/revenue share details available for everyone. API documentation. Doesn't seem like they ever made Source or Source 2 readily available to be competitive with unreal engine or unity

  • Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN

    Jump

  • Worst physical hardware and software sales since 1995 so far. Switch 2 won't be its first holiday next year and potential price hikes from storage and ram next year

  • Netflix has agreed to buy Warner Bros, including game developers behind Mortal Kombat, Hogwarts Legacy

    Jump

  • Netflix gaming has existed to support it's streaming business. I imagine the WB catalog being used for that. At best maybe some native Android and iOS ports of WB games. But I think the highest potential is a GeForce Now competitor except a Netflix catalog rather than Steam

  • Jolla Trying Again To Develop A New Sailfish OS Linux Smartphone

    Jump

  • I feel like things in the consumer software space for Linux is getting there like desktop Linux ~10 years ago. Waydroid is solid. Android translation layer is in development. Valve with Steam machines.

    Krita and GIMP look to be in good positions. Kdenlive doesn't crash all the time anymore. Can have good consumer interest synergy between regular Linux/SteamOS/Pop_OS if they ever get big selling hardware and Linux phones

    Android apps needed as part of the proposition now. But eventually over many many years there should eventually be a good ecosystem of Linux native phone apps

  • Linux continues to grow and has reached a new peak of 3.20% in the November 2025 Steam Hardware & Software Survey

    Jump

  • It's like damn look how good the general Linux desktop got with barely any general consumer adoption for about 30 years. Imagine what it could get around ~10%. 20 years ago Mac's were only around 5%. I love gaming on Linux but my main thought is how this is the trojan horse that brings users and some funding and developer attention to open source applications. Kdenlive needs love. Ardour needs love. Darktable. Get them all the Blender treatment someday

  • Will game studios care about the Steam Machine?

    Jump

  • A good amount of devs cared about the PS Vita and a good amount care for getting a Steam Deck verified badge. If the Machine can pull off another 5-10 million Linux user, not bad. Not many studios focus on the RTX 4090/5090. The most popular console of the last decade was the first Switch. PC emulation on Android as it matures may be a bigger target someday to attract sales for developers

  • It's been moving fast. It barely moved like a decade ago

  • Papaya Frontend for Android is here: Open Alpha Release

    Jump

  • This is nice. I'll switch over to this from Beacon. For Gamehub, the icon doesn't load. Once that edit the tiles, then I'll be able to fix Moonlight, the PC streaming. Everything always scrapes it to some random game with Moonlight in the name

  • Threads alternative

  • When Mozilla first made a mastodon instance was the first time I tried it and didn't like it. Tried it recently and it's meshing better with me than before. Just need more people on it

  • Do you cheat in video games?

    Jump

  • In single player games where there's fall damage, I always mod out fall damage and carry weight limits. I don't care about realism especially when it's selective realism like in video games. So in that sense, in single player games I'm cheating all the time

  • Japanese game developers face ridiculously high font license fees following US acquisition of major domestic provider. Live-service games to take the biggest blow

    Jump

  • The worst rent seekers come for everything

  • Best vertical games on Android?

    Jump

  • A 3DS emulator like Azahar or DS emulator like MelonDS both of which are on the Play store, and play a Pokemon game or anything turn based. Play it vertically. Different puzzle games

  • It would be so funny if China colonizes Mars, then the Martian Colonists declare independence, and Mars become a new bastion of Freedom and Prosperity.

  • By the time of the US, it was genocide after genocide. But before that when we called Americans different sorts of European, it was genocide and forced labor/slavery/some becoming human zoo enhibit

  • Creator of Original Thomas the Tank Engine Mod for Skyrim Puts Thomas in Morrowind in Defiance of 'Legal Threats'

  • It's an all time great mod that's pretty harmless with the IP
