Welcome to the Free Talk Tuesday Discussion!

What are you up to this week? Want to discuss gaming news? Or maybe share your progress in a game. Any non-gaming related posts are also allowed in this thread to be shared with like-minded people here.

With the recently posted awkward 'concept' of a second Steam Deck and an influx of cool Deck-modding posts, what do you think it needs to look like in the next generation? What peripherals or whatever it needs to have?

And would it be better if Valve also licensed other companies to make more Proton-based handhelds using their R&D findings?

I know everyone's on Baldur's Gate 3 lately but I just finished Death Stranding and I teared up. What a game, what a story, what an experience. Highly recommended to anyone looking for something atmospheric and unique. Making deliveries may sound boring but I found that if you just take your time and really let it take over your mind, it's so easy to get lost in it all.

I am playing Mafia Definitive Edition this week.

I already played the original and given the good reviews on this edition I think is worth a revisit.

Heyyy, Final Fantasy XIV is having a free login event!

They’re so silently advertised I sometimes miss them. Basically, if you are a Shadowbringers/Endwalker player, and dropped to play other games, you can currently resume your account for 14 days without paying. (If you are back in ARR, Heavensward, or Stormblood, hopefully you are still using a trial account anyway and this doesn’t affect you)

I have lots of free time after many busy weeks and looking for games to play... Just finished Shrouded Isle as I was looking for something similar to Cultist Simulator and it was OK

Might buy BG3 or finish Pathfinder Kingmaker this time but not really sure.

I am not even sure if I want to play games or read a book or watch a movie or something
