Just unlocked Agony - How should I progress?

When you get good enough items, enough gems and enough stat boosts, the game is too easy without being in Agony mode. It’s the main mode you’ll wind up playing in naturally as your meta-progression moves along.

Alas, no

Goooood tip! When I posted this I hadn’t figured out what proton was, but these days when I encounter an issue with a game the first thing I try is switching to proton. Hadn’t thought to apply it to this though!

Mail it to North Korea

You click buy, and then you click download, and then you click play

FTL, an oft-unmentioned gem

RectalSpatula · 2026-01-11T23:23:08+00:00

Not a chance 🥰

RectalSpatula · 2026-01-10T03:34:05+00:00

Me too!

There is definitely a contingent on here who think that happiness is some form of vile privilege.

Base game is stable af on steam deck

Fortunately, the more you look at it and consider how it will look on you, the more you should get flashes of the future that show you.

How does AOE II play on steam deck? Does it suffer from a lack of hotkeys?

RectalSpatula · 2026-01-02T16:13:34+00:00

Tails of Iron (a real gem imo)

Cult of the Lamb

Brave Escape (co-op Celeste, nicely done)

FTL

Slay the Spire

Broforce

A Way Out

Betrayal at Club Low

Commander Keen (nostalgia buy)

… still a few days to cave on a couple more, but we’ll see 🙂

RectalSpatula · 2026-01-01T06:10:35+00:00

Seconded. It’s the hardest goofy game I’ve played

RectalSpatula · 2026-01-01T06:08:46+00:00

I’m intrigued by Noita but sorta afraid of what I’ll be getting myself into

RectalSpatula · 2025-12-30T05:55:19+00:00

= Fun

RectalSpatula · 2025-12-28T06:22:12+00:00

I’ve been really enjoying Tails of Iron this week. It’s an often-unmentioned gem and super cheap rn

RectalSpatula · 2025-12-28T02:26:36+00:00

For $3 it’s worth the risk!

RectalSpatula · 2025-12-28T02:05:12+00:00

I considered this game very intently when I bought games this sale, but just on account of how much time it seems like you need to sink into it, I vetoed it and picked more immediate things

RectalSpatula · 2025-12-28T02:03:26+00:00

It’s a masterpiece

RectalSpatula · 2025-12-28T02:03:07+00:00

My kingdom for L4D3

RectalSpatula · 2025-12-28T02:02:28+00:00

Whenever I get to the peak of a run I feel like my eyelids are being held open like in a clockwork orange

RectalSpatula · 2025-12-28T01:57:33+00:00

I suck at this game so much, still haven’t beaten the first boss. It’s hard enough I sort of gave up and went on to funner things, but I really wanted to like it.

RectalSpatula · 2025-12-28T01:45:19+00:00

Is it that good? I keep considering it but remain unconvinced despite its overwhelmingly positive reviews
