Thanks for the heads-up! For anyone that’s confused like I was, turns out this is the same game as Bloodborne Kart, just changed enough for legal purposes. Considering it started out as an April Fool’s joke, it seems really high quality so far and I’m appreciating all the Bloodborne references!
It seems that Spotify doesn't accurately count plays for tracks under 30 seconds. I had a look through some of the albums I know of with short tracks and here's what I found:
In fact I found the MGMT album 11•11•11 has a 26 second long track with no reported plays.
So while it's probably true that people are listening to fewer full albums than they used to in the days of vinyl or CD, it seems more likely to do with Spotify only paying royalties on tracks over 30 seconds and the discussion surrounding that.
I’m glad this is being brought up. As the article mentions, one of the affected games was the Ghost Trick remaster which received a 5.6GB update with no explanation. It was only through data mining that people realised Denuvo was removed in favour of Enigma.
The worst part for me is that Enigma lives up to its name and people have been left guessing about where it’s coming from. Some people think it’s Capcom’s in-house DRM while others are linking it to some Russian company with the same name that Capcom may have partnered with.
As I understand, this DRM has already been cracked so it’s not even stopping people who want to pirate the game. On the other hand, I love Ghost Trick and I wanted to buy gift copies for some friends over Christmas but this move really put me off.
I have no idea what the context for the photo is but I assumed they wanted their printed paper signed
Pretty sure it’s a joke based on the way the headline was written which makes it ambiguous whether the 12 year old was in the forklift or whether the police chasing him were in the forklift.
These summaries are usually decent from what I’ve seen but this one misses out some important information. The fourth and fifth paragraphs of the summary make no sense without the context that the athlete was disqualified for a false start and then still allowed to run.
What a goal! Thanks for posting it here!
The largest questionable stain (gh4, gh5) is actually revealed to be The Ooze from the 1995 Sega Megadrive / Genesis game of the same name
If you enjoy rhythm games, Melatonin is worth looking into. It’s like Rhythm Heaven but with a lo-fi, mellow feel. What makes me want to recommend it here specifically is that the game has a custom display setting calibrated for the Steam Deck’s screen which I thought was really cool!
The game itself isn’t that long and can be beaten in a couple of hours but there are of course harder difficulties and perfect scores to aim for which add some replay value. I personally really enjoy the soundtrack which helps too since it does feel a bit too short otherwise.
If you enjoy the aesthetic, but struggle with rhythm, the game also has accessibility modes that help you to get better with the timing instead of just skipping the level entirely.
Great recommendation! I’ve been playing this a lot recently and it feels like the perfect kind of game for the Deck since it’s so easy to pick up and play in short sessions. It’s also got so much to offer that the gameplay doesn’t get repetitive quickly. A tip is that there are community layouts for the Steam Deck where some of the more annoying button mashing is mapped to macros on the back grips. Definitely a nice feature for sanity and button longevity reasons!
Sorry I’m a bit new to chess so I’m unfamiliar with the rules. Are we at risk of being captured by the knook here?
Thanks a lot for sharing this! Decky plugins often break after a Steam OS update, which is understandable, but a bootloop is more trouble than I’m looking for right now…
