    • Gris
    • Balatro
    • mirror’s Edge
    • Horizon Forbidden West (saving this one for desktop)

    E: refunded Mirror’s Edge, it was running at like 5 FPS on low settings.

    E2: picked up Mirror’s Edge on GoG instead for the same price ($3). Disabled PhysX and it runs like a dream.

      Gris is great. Small, but beautiful.

        If anyone can afford it, I recommend the Neva + Gris bundle. Neva is even better, IMO.

      Were there any physx settings turned on when running Mirror’s Edge? It can bring a 5090 to it’s knees due to removal of 32bit physx support. Great recent gamer’s nexus video on it. Anyway, physx running on the CPU with Mirror’s Edge kills fps

          Basically only option right now is to turn off anything physx in older games like mirrors edge. Should solve the fps issue

    I’ve stopped buying from Steam on account of their country threatening to annex mine. GOG is looking good though.

        In case you’re wondering, the correct response was:

        I’m sorry. My country is overrun with fascists and Nazis and I’m horrified by the threats to your nation’s sovereignty that manchild of a president is making. He does not speak for me, and I appreciate that you would decide not to spend money in a country that’s actively threatening your family.

        You know, for the next time you feel the urge to defend a government that demonstrably doesn’t care about you or anyone else.

        If you already have these things, you make no stance by throwing them away.

        It’s never too late to start change.

    Not enough college financial aid left for me to be able to, otherwise I’d have to look at my wishlist and see what’s available for a good price.

    I got Warplanes Air Corp and also Battle over the Pacific. And Dragon Age Veilguard.

    However, lol, the servers must be a little overloaded, it’s downloading at dozens of megabits and, running a speed test at the same time gave me over 700 so yeah. It’ll take some patience XD

    I bought Mad Max because I originally played it when it was on Game Pass years ago and would like to do another run.

    For the Deck specifically I got Art of Rally, Rogue Legacy 2, and Deep Rock Survivor. I’ve been playing a lot of Deep Rock Survivor.

      The sales were way better maybe like 10 years or so ago, but when they ended the “flash sales” to instead guarantee that the sale price of a game won’t change during the sale, they also kind of neutered the sales imo. They’re still alright, but they used to be consistently better.

      I get why they ended the flash sales, and I’m not even sure if it’s related or just a separate choice that they made at the same time.
