Valve Warns Steam Deck Users Not To Mod Their Device

In response to an article reporting one such way of doing this, Yang replied: “Hi, please don’t do this. The charger IC gets very hot and nearby thermal pads should not be moved. In addition, most 2242 m.2 drives draw more power and get hotter than what Deck is designed for.” Yang finished by writing that, while the mod in question “may appear to work”, it will “significantly shorten the life of your Deck”....

Vince Zampella Says Battlefield 2042 Strayed Too Far From What Battlefield Is

Battlefield 2042 was dogged by technical issues and controversial design decisions when it launched last year, quickly attracting overwhelmingly negative reviews from players on Steam. Since then, developer DICE has continued to tweak and expand on Battlefield 2042’s wobbly base, but it’s often felt like too little, too late - with publisher EA admitting the game’s sales “did not meet expectations”, saying, “Some of the design choices we made…did not resonate with everyone in our community”....

Weird West Review Almost But Not Quite A Dishonored Crpg

WolfEye’s Weird West mixes this vast, rancid legacy with outright fantasy elements sourced partly from the likes of Lovecraft and partly from the studio founders’ previous Dishonored games. This very much isn’t your classic rootin’ tootin’ cowboy yarn. Head out into the wilds and you’ll find raucous villages of pigmen and ghost towns that absent-mindedly manifest from the foundations up. Dip into the caves and you’ll encounter ravenous mutants and blue-stone temples where cultists debate visions of the apocalypse....

My guest today started their own label five years ago in the hope of doing things differently, and things have gone very well. Today, No More Robots employs 13 people and is responsible for games like Hypnospace Outlaw, Descenders, Not Tonight, and Yes, Your Grace. Good games. In fact, the recently-announced Dreamsettler, a spiritual successor to Hypnospace Outlaw, became the company’s most Wishlisted game - an important metric for predicting how a game will ultimately do....

2D Soulslike Sequel Salt And Sacrifice Gets May Release Date

Salt and Sacrifice, as is amply evident from its release date trailer below, reprises much that made the original so good, serving up another deliciously gloomy slab of side-scrolling exploratory platforming and measured combat.
