The continued use of Next Gen for what is definitely the current console generation does make me pretty annoyed

I feel like Children of Men (2006) doesn't get much recognition for being a chilling view of a future world or the respect it should with it's amazing long takes and excellent camera work. If possible watch the behind the scenes material about the car rig they built. It's so cool!

Grim Dawn on Steam Deck and finishing up the collectables on Quantum Break which I usually stream that from my PC to my Steam Deck. I absolutely love the Steam Deck.

For better or worse I can sit and play way longer sitting on the couch with my Steam Deck than at the desk in front of my computer.

I love it. The key is setting the triggers as the left and right clicks though. I find clicking the trackpad not great for precision. There is a certain level of tinkering/customizing that will be needed to get the most out of the controls.

I've played several 20 year old FPS games with absolutely no native controller support and completed them all. If you put in a little work in getting the controls how you like them it makes it hard to play stuff without all the Steam Deck options.

I mostly game on my Steam Deck and assumed Heroic was only a Linux thing, but recently learned it's available on Windows too. How's it do? I've been collecting the free games from Epic and Prime Gaming, but barely touch them. Being able to open a single launcher for everything non Steam in Windows sounds amazing!

Man, I wish this wasn't a survival game because it's giving me Dinoriders vibes and I loved those dumb toys.

It's on my Steam wishlist. Since I already have a copy of Tyranny I'll probably play that before Deadfire, but I definitely want to play it! Hopefully Avowed will be good too whenever that comes out.

I wanted to check out Pillars because I think Avowed looks cool, but I do see Divinity Original Sin 2 on sale pretty frequently so I might pick it up. I'm still trying to take a big bite out of my backlog before buying more games I won't end up playing for years. (I finally played GTA5 last month.)

I also got that game for free from Amazon and I'm planning on playing that next! The premise is pretty cool!

F.E.A.R. and I thought it was pretty fun.

Looks great for when it was made and the lighting was pretty impressive. The story was kind of dumb and super cliche. The scares mostly didn't work, but they got me with a few jump scares. The music and atmosphere were pretty eerie and effective. Decent shooter!

I'll eventually check out the sequels and now I really want to play that studio's spy games. I think they are called No One Lives Forever or something like that.

It took me just shy of 20 hours and that's mostly because I was so impatient and died a lot. Took me a long time to realize that jumping over attacks was just better than using the dodge for a lot of enemies.

The game almost lost me right away. It gets so much easier after racking up some levels and a fun weapon have been found.

I'm sure I'll pick it up eventually. One of my friends had to have a talk with her husband about how much she was playing that game.

I installed it today on my computer and then set up Sunshine so I could stream from it to my Steam Deck easily.

I loved the original Fallout games. Pillars is a lot like the original two Baldur's Gate games and the other games like it. Icewind Dale and Planescape Torment. Though I haven't really earnestly played any of them. I did play the Dark Alliance games when they were new and I was a kid, but those are action RPGs.

If you really want to blow your mind, look up the ad campaign when they introduced Chicken Nuggets in the 1980s. It was very much inspired by tempura fried chicken, so nuggets are literally the fast food version of the kind of chicken underneath the orange chicken sauce.
