    I do hope Ororon is the Wayob's chosen for the Night Wind clan and not Citlali 🤞

  • Element X, Call and Server Suite are production ready
  • Scio Scio Now 100%

    A way to group organize discover and control access to multiple Rooms.

    Here's an extra ironic Elements post describing them: https://element.io/blog/spaces-the-next-frontier/

  • Element X, Call and Server Suite are production ready

    Still no Spaces support. Even the short list of rooms I've joined are unmanageable when listed flat with no way to identify which Space a #general belongs to

    The only thing cooler than a living miracle of portable computing is an undead miracle of portable computing that I'd still be playing games on come 2025 🧛

  • YONO soft case - carry case compatible? Yes
  • Scio Scio Now 100%

    I can't directly answer the question, as I don't use one. But I would like to mention that I put on a pair of joystick caps which are frankly pretty thin layers of silicon all things considered, and now the Deck won't fit inside the case unless I firmly hold it closed and then pull the zipper.

    The case is designed to fit it very snugly, it would seem! But third-party cases usually have more give inside for covers and joystick caps etc.

  • What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?
  • Scio Scio Now 100%

    Me too! My original discs for the sequel was unreadable even before I got to play it (it was a hand-me-down).

    I also found this mod on itch as well, after your post. I think I had to edit the configs to get the resolution writing for Nolf2 even on the revival copy (and, save files from different resolutions don't load!) If this patch can work around those issues that'd be great.

    Time for another playthrough of the series, on the Steam Deck!

    Which is what the NOLF link in my post points to.

    Edit: no that's just NOLF revival. I suppose I shouldn't change it now, and thanks for posting ☺️

    No One Lives Forever! Please and thank you.

    They're both fantastic games, but the original (in which you go to Hamburg and a space station) felt more adventurous rather than the more grounded sequel (in which you go to the arctics and even more exotic locale: my hometown of Calcutta). Set it in the fictionalized disco-themed cold-war with the lead jet-setting around the world, and we're golden!

    Also, only a single game, but: Arcanum. (At least this one's possible to buy on Gog and Steam...)

    Arcanum supposedly had a sequel in the works at some point: Journey to the Center of Arcanum, and frankly, while I'd prefer to see other continents on that world explored a là Around the World in 80 Days, I'd still be sold on a hollow-earth adventure any day!

    [Finished with the edits now!]

    Allow me—blissfully unaffiliated with all the parties involved in my post—highjack this irredeemable piece of spam with an actual "blackjack game" worth playing:

    Dungeon Degenerate: Gamblers is Balatro but blackjack and just as wild a ride!

    I can only conceptualize "pro" meaning "large" in the "large, and in charge" sense.

    One hand, the game changed surprisingly little over the years in early access. On the other, it remains incredibly fun since day one in early access 😊

  • TIL that in 1563, Johann Weyer argued against Witch hunts and instead that the accused should be treated as having a mental illness.

    I'm told ADHD also comes with magic powers. But so far, I've not awakened to my birthright.

    Moonlit skies are never clear enough these nights, you know.

  • What have you been playing lately? (August)
  • Scio Scio Now 100%

    Pretty much just Zenless Zone Zero and Hades II for the past month or so.

    And a bit of Terraria with the boys.

    Yeah, as pinned tabbed. Very much so. I actually like them specifically because I can forget about them. I use them like someone would use a napkin in that classic Hollywood trope sense! Just to work something out and then forgetting about it, except, if needed, I can open up the tab again and copy over stuff to my actual notes later!

  • As a prompt me and my friends tried to draw the [mythical beast makara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makara) in various styles. I drew a dolphin-doggo frolicking in the ocean! [This is my very first post. Trying to see how best to share my artwork; whether posting the [original post](https://mastodon.social/@Scio/110620314547507647) works. Edit: Linking to the post doesn't show up as an image, so I'm now linking to the image itself!]
