Oh man, that’s big news. Lazer’s standard mode been essentially playable since like 2020. Recent updates have been chasing corner cases and adding features with no end in sight.

Same. I don’t have any immediate need for any of the newly announced hardware products, but I’m hopeful they succeed because they indirectly benefit me as a Linux gamer.

Really, how many people cared about or even remember the original? The original program was a flop but that hasn’t tainted the name.

The Index controllers have touch-sensitive sticks and actual finger tracking so they measure how far your fingers are from the body of the controller. They put touch-sensitive sticks on the Deck as well.

Hell yeah! I have an upgrade path for my original Steam Controllers!

One under the radar feature of the Frame’s controllers is being able to use them without the headset as essentially a normal controller split in two.

Yee, I got to play Bloodthief’s demo at a Steam Next Fest this year. I also spotted Bombun there as well, which I didn’t know was Godot. Last year’s also had PVKK, which caught my eye.

SCP-4098 seemingly changes people spreading communication properly, specifically communication proximally Site-94 centered, procedurally. Said communication prohibits speaker’s choices, producing speech constructional primaries: SCP.

Oh, hey voidplaces! I stumbled upon that series of maps while playing Jazztronauts. In my case, I ended up finding voidmall and it was so cool to explore with friends. I briefly talked about it in my writeup on Jazztronauts.

Don’t worry! I liked this game enough to spend the time to 100% it, so I wouldn’t have a reason to skimp on the effort of writing about why I like it and compiling pictures and videos.

I think either order would be fine. This one has more varied gameplay while the first is more focused, so it’s up to you how dedicated you are to grappling hooks.

The Soul Urn in Deadlock is very chatty and will constantly sass you while you’re trying to pick it up for your team.

I was beginning to feel abandoned.

You do know where you’re supposed to take me, right?

You’re dropping me?!

Oh, honey! It’s time to choose one of three upgrades!

The original N is from 2004, you’re right. N++ is the modern incarnation and follow up to N+.

It has that quintessential Flash energy!

This is the 3D-printable replacement bumper mechanism I used in my controller. And by “I”, I mean my friend, who did the printing and installation for me. The click is a bit stiffer and sounds deeper than the original, but it works fine again.

Also check out Cassette Beasts and Beastieball!

As usual, I haven’t even played anything yet. I’ve just been thoroughly browsing for games to put on my list, and it’s a long one this time. At the top of my list of games I want to try are:

• Bubsy 4D
• Ultimate Sheep Raccoon
• Mesmalie
• Time Snatcher Handy
• Myths are 100% True
• FUNKYHEART
• MONUMENTUM

Roughly ordered by my interest levels:

Man, every black thing I photograph close up in decent lighting looks so ugly and dusty. I had to get funky to get a good angle and lighting setup for my photo here.

Good thing I ordered two thumbstick caps!
