True. Risk of Rain Returns is amazing. But back when they announced ROR2 and that it would be a 3D environment I was like "how the heck is that going to work?" but they pulled it off. Clocked over 200 hours in that one (so far - haven't even tried the DLC yet)

Anyway, I believe what you’re describing was coined as “eternal summer” many many years ago.

The same phenomenon was coined on Usenet many years before 4chan.

A garage door opener is simply a machine so a shorter name could be "rage against the machine."

Wait...

Not to excuse this sort of behaviour, but at least they're honest enough to say it's about the money, instead of hiding behind excuses like "bUt sEcuRiTy vUlNeRaBiLiTieS".

We need laws to prevent this kind of anti-consumer bullshit (yeah I know, a pipe dream) and for people to simply not give Haier their money, or data.

Essentially. That category must have been a troll by the steam community.

Even today Skyrim is a better game than Starfield. It's the same formula Bethesda have been doing for 20 years now but they somehow managed to make the world feel more artificial and lifeless. And So. Many. Loading screens. 😔

Nothing against the core Bethesda formula - I still enjoy the whole "explore, run into shit, and spend the next 30 hours on side quests" - but they really need to focus on making a more rich and engaging experience.

Some of these category winners are starting to make less and less sense each year. Red Dead 2 for Labor of Love? wtf?

I voted for Risk of Rain Returns for best on Steam Deck. Been playing it on the ROG Ally and it's a damn near perfect handheld game.

maintaining nuclear power plants with the highest appropriate levels of safety.

There's your problem right there.

Nuclear power generation can probably be safe, in theory.

Nuclear power generation in our current late-stage capitalism where corporations, and even governments, will cut corners for the sake of profit and politics, is not.

It's a cool technology, but I personally don't trust the world with it right now.

Anyone who's waiting on BG3 to be cheaper or GOTY edition or whatever, try Divinity: Original Sin 2. It's amazing, and the definitive edition is only $13.50 USD right now. No need to have played the first one - I never did and D:OS2 is probably one of my favourite games of all time now.

This is why the core of the issue that nobody ever talks about is human overpopulation. The demented levels of factory farming we have is only a thing because 8 billion people need to be fed.

Or... and this is crazy... not cram thousands of them together in such a tiny area. Then disease wouldn't spread so rapidly.
