    Yep! Specifically Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, remakes of the generation 3 games. It introduced “Primal” forms of the legendaries Groundon and Kyogre which is what you see in the image. It’s supposed to be them at their peak power.




  • Actually I’ve been using it all the time ever since it came out in beta. Being able to set it to record certain games automatically so I can share something funny or report cheaters after the fact is amazing.

    No need to fiddle with OBS to find some instant replay like thing, remember to start it and then edit them in another piece of software. it’s all right there, built in to Steam, and so easy to use that I often trim and save clips during gameplay.








  • Are they gatekeepers though? It’s not like they own Windows or Linux and stop you from using any other store. Just having the biggest audience doesn’t make them gatekeepers to the market.

    I never see people talking about what valve should change other than lowering the 30% cut, but arbitrarily forcing that would set a bad precedent.

    Instead of virtue signalling here’s reasonable things Valve could do:

    • allow developers to chose what features of steam they use for each game, allowing them to lower the cut by individually opting out of forums, workshop, cloud saves, achievements, inventory items etc
    • offer a purchase = one time download with no drm (still legally one copy) for the closest thing to “owning” a digital game
    • allow someone to inherit a steam account

    Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure proton is free to use and you can install stores and games not from steam on a Steam Deck, so again I really don’t know what they’re gatekeeping.




  • Cute mascot!

    Whenever ECS is brought up, I just can’t think of a game I’d make where the pros outweigh the cons. I’ve come to the conclusion that I just don’t understand it yet, so I’d love it if someone who’s as passionate as you clearly are, could impart some of the things that made you fall in love with it.
