RE: Skull and Bones talk. I really wish someone would just make the perfect successor to Sid Meier's Pirates that exists in my head. Give me a game that has SM's Pirates! Sandbox, Naval Action's... naval action ( ), some kind of sensible first-and/or-third person on-foot stuff that actually lets me walk around my ship (the whole ship, not just the deck) as well as on land, a cool sword-fighting system, good character customization, pronouns (if only to piss jerks off), and hell, I wouldn't complain about a half-decently written swashbuckling story. Also, single ship focus. Its likely opposite to the typical power fantasy probably, but I don't want to eventually command a whole fleet of pirate ships. I just want work my way up from a a shitbox sloop to one really awesome, customizable pirate frigate or whatever. Captain Harlock but actually in the ocean. Freaky Magic poo poo optional.Like Sea Dogs, but a heck of a lot better and without most of the East European Jank. And don't make it a loving online-only PvPvE GAAS boondoggle that'll die in less than a year. Just give me a cool singleplayer game!

And I did enjoy the OG Rebel Galaxy (a bit more arcadey than I'd want from my theoretical game though). But I YEARN for Tall Wooden Ships and a Boundless Blue Ocean to sail them on...

Since the first game was significantly more successful maybe they'll return to that style for a third game

I have no idea what the “unsupported” rating means. - game won't boot - game has anti-cheat (ie an MMO) which is incompatible with proton - game doesn't run at a smooth 30 or 60fps that's it and that's all. in sandrock's case, it doesn't have the most stable framerate so that's probably why they consider it unsupported

hey so this Avatar game... actually pretty fun You essentially feel like a biological mech just sprinting in and bopping tiny little humans with your massive fist, launching arrows the size of motorcycles through aircraft canopies at the pilots and shredding walkers with a shotgun the size of a larger motorcycle, and it's also a very lite theHunter: Call of Pandora, with animal tracking, different biomes and quality of product dependent on method of kill. It looks loving gorgeous, and it runs very well on my 3080.

The 7th Guest posted:unsupported can mean 1 of 3 things: lots of games that run perfectly fine have the unsupported tag. You always have to try. Sandrock however runs like poo poo as they were unable to create good streaming/memory management. Its a really bad running engine on every system for what it offers.

Sandrock runs fine on deck. Has some dips in performance, but overall is fine. If you're ever wanting to check on whether a game works on deck or not use https://www.protondb.com/. Catalogues all games and any relevant issues.

I feel like I see that exact sameface on literally every lovely AI generated picture, way more sameface-y than the actual Korean games art, but maybe it's just that the AI models are trained on that exact art style, I dunno. Quick Googling says that the developers are from the US though.

Communist Bear posted:Sandrock runs fine on deck what does that mean to you? I ran it on SSD 256GB deck and it continuesly produced loading times for re-used stuff like UI elements, frequently took several seconds to MINUTES to load in character models into cutscenes... sure it ~runs~ at more or less 40FPS if you run around an area but the constant interruptions waiting for poo poo that should be seamless streamed in TYOL 2023 is rather annoying and definitvely one of the worse experiences on Deck I had. Especially for the low complexity this game is at. Its badly optimized and I get the same problems on a viable hi end PC (lot less frequent or even only there if you look for them/have the comparison, but notbaly they're there) Their engine progamming is poo poo.

Okay, this isn't likely given this crowd, but just in case - I just had a friend explain to me how they used to play Magic the Gathering Arena and enjoyed it, and bought IRL cards, and they were thinking of getting back into it, but didn't want to deal with IRL cards again, or the Arena meta. They explained the meta, I explained how it's nothing like what I'm seeing, and... It transpires that they played back before it was on steam and a lot of things have changed! But also, more importantly for them: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2141910/Magic_The_Gathering_Arena/ this sucker is free and works on steam deck and is pretty drat generous for f2p players. On top of that, if you want to play magic with friends and your own decks, there are a billion tools for that for Tabletop Simulator. So now I am enabling my friend to play Magic responsibly, without getting back into the IRL card game. Maybe mixed results, but I'm here to support their budget first.

I liked mtg in elementary school/ junior high school until I became disillusioned about the fact that it's effectively pay to win theoretically I would like something to fill the same niche but not be pay to win at all but maybe that's impossible maybe something where it's a one time purchase or subscription with seasons where everyone starts from scratch each time and you can't just buy cards?
