Steam

My takes are:

Creature Keeper and PalWorld if you like pokemon.

N1RV_AnnA, love this type of bartender games.

Some that are less "indie" are Mina the Hollower and Citizen Sleeper 2.

Did you know that we already made and published a game in @godotengine?

From my understanding Steam Decks come with SteamOS preinstalled on them. Yet when you look at the list of games on steam that are compatible with Linux + SteamOS, its a small fraction.

But what confuses me is this page

https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck/mygames

It shows your games that are compatible with the Steam Deck which has a Linux based OS. And almost my entire library is compatible with the Deck. Can someone help me understand how this is possible? If games are compatible with the Steam Deck, why wouldn't they also work on Ubuntu for example?

As many of us have, our Steam libraries have grown so much over the years that we have a huge backlog of games to play. It is hard to keep track of which game liked/disliked.

I see options like hide this game or putting games into collections, I'm interested in how do you keep track of the good and bad games? Games you would like to eventually come back to?

Since some time now the Steam Flatpak cannot start up and I have no idea why this happens.

Web research leads to basically nothing that is related to what I experience so I assume it has something to do with my system. Other Flatpaks start up normally and I can use them.

When resetting everything related to the Steam Flatpak and reinstalling it from Flathub it loads and installs the Flatpak and then installs all necessary stuff

[various update-related stuff]

So everything looks good up to this point. The small Steam update windows poppend up several times indicating the running installation/update. The output then continues:

(The last line gets printed twice, yes.)

The first startup process then hangs there for a few seconds and continues with this.

At the given location there is no dump file.

Do you guys have any Idea why this happens and how I can fix it?

Touhou 19 is out on @steam !

Let's show ZUN our support for releasing his games on Steam and Comiket at the same time.

For years it really did seem impossible to get the series released in the west. We had to wait for a guy to go to the con and upload it, which would then get shared on DoujinStyle and the like. Nowadays Steam releases of Touhou games are more common and it's great to see.

Mine is probably the Liberty City Minute achievement for Grand Theft Auto IV. I think technically you have 30 hours to beat the main storyline but I managed to power through and beat the entire game in one sitting.

Achievements were only added in after an update a couple years ago (when they removed the dated Games For Windows Live DRM that made the game pretty much impossible to play without modding) so it's technically not the rarest for the game. The achievements for getting the highscore in QUB3D and flying underneath the bridges are even more rare but I'd argue they're easier to get.

What Steam achievement are you most proud of?

Is there one that took a lot of time to get? Did you have a good time with friends? Was it an achievement you struggled to get on other platforms when you were younger?

Regardless I'd be interested to hear about it.

So I guess all you Homestar Runner fans have something there. Played it last night, short, but I had fun with it.

I've had a weird issue with Steam lately.

Whenever I go to download a game on my pc, it will download fine, but I will lose internet for everything else on my network until the download is complete or I stop the download.

At first I thought this might be an issue with my ISP, but this doesn't happen when downloading a game from my Steamdeck.

Anyone have any fixes for this?
