Looks like Pizza Tower is on a discount, definitely scooping that up.

How are Lunacid and Dread Delusion? The vibes look amazing but I haven’t seen much buzz.

    I’m looking at Axiom Verge 2. I just did a cheatyface playthrough of the first one(first playthrough was years ago and no cheatyface).

    I also just got introduced to Balatro from a friend and now I really want it lol. I’m a fan of Roguelites but don’t play them a great deal(do have like 200 hours in on Isaac) but I used to play poker and also enjoy card games, not so much deck builders. I played Slay the Spire a bit and own it on 2 systems but I’m just not great at those types of games. I figured maybe Balatro is the best of both worlds. What I’d really like to see is a a trick taking mechanic combined with meta-progression but idk how that would look.

    Jedi Fallen Order is $4 but just saw yesterday that it’s an EA title so that was an easy decision.

    Not sure what else to get. I wanna play through New Vegas and also the Mass Effect trilogy a second time but both games are dicey on if they run well on Linux. I don’t even know where to begin with modding Bethesda games on Linux in 2024 lol.

      Oh shit, you just mentioned my hyperfixation. Or at least, one of them.

      I have had success (after a bit of finagling for the 4GB patch and whatnot) with running Viva New Vegas on the Steam Deck, and imagine that if you try to keep a tight control on what you add beyond that and check regularly you’ll be fine. Essentially, any mod circa ~2016-2020 or below should be heavily suspicious, and anything from 2010-2016 should be ignored pretty much entirely.

      You may have to use a Linux compatible Mod Organizer 2, but just ask questions in the Viva New Vegas discord server if you’re unsure, the folks there are very helpful.

      Modding has come a long way for New Vegas.

      Let me know if you have any questions! I have been modding and remodding New Vegas for a decade at this point
