  • I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed these!

    Keep an eye out, I try make them weekly, though in the past it’s gone as few as two days between posts (generally though, I try make myself wait and hold off to give it a week between them!) - so there’ll be more coming :)

    I’m so glad you’re getting a Steam Deck, you’ll love it! They’re easy if you want to just…start installing games without tinkering, or you can dive in and find all kinds of fun things.

    As to GOG and Epic (and even Amazon) look into:

    …there are others, but these two I swear by.

    As to emulation, the default idea most have is EmuDeck, but I by far recommend

    …but if you ever have any specific questions, or want help or a guide to anything, reach out to me. I kinda live/breath the Steam Deck - so I’m always happy to help!!!




  • I’m so glad!!!

    I know these are ‘heavy’, but I try my best to break them into sections (*actually, this time I did not do that - typically they’re broken into themed sections like ‘Switch News’, or ‘GOG News’ etc), and make it a little easier to wade through.

    I just love writing them in this way, even if they’re not the most convenient. And I do try to ‘pretty’ them up, too! I’m glad you enjoyed this, there’s plenty I’ve done before it if you’re interested in reading others!

    :)



  • Oh that’s super interesting!

    What exactly did you do for them? I’d say its a better thing to dedicate your time to than others, when it comes to volunteering time! Like others, I checked over the jobs listed but it doesn’t show if nay are remote, or whether it is strictly for those living in Poland!

    (And me too, I live for GOG)










  • I found KCD II made huge improvements over the first. I mean, that’s natural and kinda stupid to say…but it felt more ‘complete’ to me. The first actually had me a bit overwhelmed - there were too many options, too much to do and see. The second while actually expanding that aspect…well it just felt a bit more focused. To me, anyway.

    I did install a lot of mods also, to remove some of what I find tedious, but others adore.

    Regardless, KCD is such an achievement!





  • So you’d prefer no solution?

    I get the hatred, no one loathes Discord more than me, but on their own time and dime they’re giving an option for those who avoid Discord. I can’t understand why your first, and only thought, is to shit on it.

    Discord’s pervasive, and has become the default option for too many projects, but I can see why - it is free, and everyone uses it. Easy for us, who haven’t built a fucking giant program and community to sit back and sneer at how they offer support, but this is it. It’s all done now.

    Just be glad they’re giving people an option. This isn’t even a ‘solution’ quote-unquote. It is a solution, that will take time and care and effort. Which they’re doing.

    Jesus.
