My Switch controllers are perfectly safe. I haven’t used them in years because the games are so expensive.

A buddy of mine got his steam deck and had to do an RMA because it arrived with a wonky joystick so my anecdotal evidence is both have terrible controllers

He might end up with two decks though since the first one went missing on the way back. Valve claims it was handed to FedEx, FedEx claims they never received it, and the tracking number just says label created.

in "games that used to be free but aren't now but still are" news, Dwarf Fortress finally hit Steam officially.

The old versions are still free, of course.

Tarn Adams has been developing dwarf fortress for 20 years and for most of that he has been doing it full-time, releasing the game for free, with recurring donations as his only source of income (first paypal and later patreon).
He owns

I haven't played dwarf fortress in years but I love that it exists and is essentially one man's life's work. The short documentary interview thing with him from a few years back was pretty cool.

Yeah, the next free/classic release will come out probably alongside the next Steam release once the ASCII mode is fixed up, it'll basically be the Steam version but locked to ASCII graphics and with the old "Tarn noodling on guitar" soundtrack, meaning free players will get the nice new mouse controls. After that, updates for the free and Steam versions should be pretty much in-sync.

It is pretty common to have a 'complete game for free' among roguelikes on steam, probably because of the genre's history as being mostly games that were given away for free (often open-source). Tales of Maj'Eyal does a similar thing but the free version even has the graphics, the difference is just that the steam version unlocks one character class out of 33. ADOM also has a free version with tiles and the full game, but its steam version has stuff like leaderboards and cloud saves and is potentially a few patches ahead.

The epic store freebies are up. Saints Row 4 re-elected is an all-dlc bundle I guess? Apparently re-elected edition literally just launched now and you couldn't have bought it anywhere before they gave it away for free.

Yeah, Re-Elected is what the game was released as on PS4, XBO, and Switch and this is just making all PC copies of it that

This is amazing. SR4 is one of the games I played a ton when I was first getting into weed. Like, stoned enough to be immersed to the point where the game almost feels like your reality. Just a ton of fun doing crazy superhero poo poo and palling around with Keith David.

Does this mean the ascii version will have the nice new menu system and actual UI?
