Games and Game-Related old and new

If you have a few favorite genres that aren’t overly common then you could browse Steam tags for them every now and then. I’m really into metroidvanias, so I can take a look at that tag every month or two and see everything pretty quickly.

If you’re looking for more music along those lines, have a listen to BigGiantCircles, who wrote a decent chunk of that soundtrack. His first release, “Max effect”, is made up of tracks that didn’t end up being used in the game, and “Legacy” is kind of a remix of some of the existing soundtrack.
Haven’t listened to him for a while now, probably should check out his newer stuff now that he jumped up in my memory again.

Ars Technica: Exclusive: Valve is making a Switch-like portable gaming PC.

Microsoft have a stranglehold on the PC operating system market - and their wedge is games. Pretty much all productivity software is available in Linux versions (much of it free), but for games, particularly new games, you still need Windows.

So I was excited when Valve announced Steam OS. Once a platform as large as Steam required Linux versions of games, surely all games developers would follow their lead.

Sadly, it didn’t happen. Steam OS gradually faded, and has now been withdrawn.

I had the same hopes for the Steam Box PCs - but they, too, faded after a faltering start.

I would absolutely love someone to break Microsoft’s hegemony. But I’ll believe it when I see it.

Not really. Most game engines are multi-platform nowadays, and the supported platforms for a game mostly depend on what a developer cares to support. Which in the case of very many indy games is “as many as possible”. With a few exceptions, my entire steam and GoG library would run natively on linux, would I want them to.

Since indy games would probably be the major target of a portable platform, I don’t see much of a problem. The real question is, do people really want the hassle of a PC on a handheld? I think if you want something to play on the go, you’d rather go with what “just works”…

On the other hand, all those asking for NMS on the Switch might find this a satisfying solution. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

For those who long for a return to the MMO roots. A peaceful, community driven game.
(Let’s hope it stays that way.) Coming to PC in pre-alpha and then to all consoles.
Developed by veteran ex-Blizzard and Riot devs.

So did I. I wonder what you have to do to get anything else.

I was particularly taken by the story where you light the fire in the fireplace on your spaceship. I mean, who would put a fireplace in a space game?
