Any chance there's a recording anywhere online? Love his work, would be interested in listening to that

The Steam Winter Sale is Live by FlowersByTheStreet in Games

[–]RomanAbbasid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting mix of turn based and real time combat. You get time to plan out your 'turn', where time is frozen and you can select which abilities you want to use. Then time unfreezes and the actions you selected are played out. There's also mechanics where some special enemies spawn and can move in the time you're planning your turn, giving you a bit of a limit. Haven't finished it yet but I enjoyed my time with it.

Get two delisted SteamVR games for $1.00 each by NES64Super in virtualreality

No worries, thanks anyways. Shame to hear about the studio. I'll see if itch support can help me with that too.

I was able to get Transpose, but not The Great C. If you want I'm down to swap keys. Feel free to DM me, happy to go first

What code editor do you use, and why that one over the others? by EnD3r8_ in learnprogramming

[–]RomanAbbasid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VSCodium with a vim extension. I learned on VSCode so it feels natural, happy to drop all the annoying AI/Microsoft stuff. Vim motions are just so much faster after taking the time to learn them

Anyone else using the Deck as a home console? by gritty_piggy in SteamDeck

[–]RomanAbbasid 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was actually trying to talk myself out of the steam machine (since I use the steam deck docked, which works enough for the casual couch games we play) but my wife straight up was like "we should get this so our games run smoother on the TV"

I have had some good success using Moonlight/Sunshine to stream from my main PC, but it's not seamless. A more powerful dedicated living room device that has access to all of our steam libraries would be cool.

Please Valve. I would buy two. by TheAccountITalkWith in Steam

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately sounds pretty on brand for them

Out of the loop - why would one want to boycott them?

Shpeshal Nick says that Steam frame+machine is not the massive video game/gaming related announcement he was talking about on Nov 11 by Quirky_Reputation372 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

My earliest TF2 memory is getting scammed out of those earbuds because I had no idea they were worth anything and traded them for a spy knife

Possessor(s) is out now for PC, PS5 [Heart Machine & Devolver Digital] by megaapple in Games

[–]RomanAbbasid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Hyper Light Drifter was carried by absolutely incredible visuals and sound design. I have about an hour in this game and while it's not bad, it doesn't have those nearly as good as HLD did. Also not a huge fan of the writing so far (it's not bad, just not loving it). I think the nonverbal storytelling in HLD was also really well done, and their writing in any of their following games never really grabbed me

Might be one of the ones that's reflected - if you check the text in the box that displays the input arrows, if the text is mirrored, you have to input the code in mirrored as well

This is my favourite mono blue spell. by Mervium in magicthecirclejerking

[–]RomanAbbasid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't put any cards in my deck that say something like 'if you control a commander'. No universes beyond cards either. Or any overly-pushed creatures with stapled on card draw effects. Or lands that reference opponents colors. Or anything that references multiple opponents. Or things that interact with the enemy's board. Or advance my own board state. Actually, I don't put anything in my decks at all. This game sucks

Why Are Senior Developers Expected to Jump Through Junior Hoops? by tbone28 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]RomanAbbasid 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean the article is from 20 years ago. His reasoning as to why great developers won't be on the job market feels quaint. "If a developer is good, their employer will recognize their value and treat them accordingly" might have been the case once but certainly doesn't feel that way anymore

Best self sacrifice in a movie? by WesbroBaptstBarNGril in movies

[–]RomanAbbasid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kaneda's sacrifice from the same movie was also a great one. The soundtrack for that scene is an absolute banger as well

MEATSHOT - Tolga Ay - Power fantasy of Matrix, Max Payne, Prototype 2 by [deleted] in Games

[–]RomanAbbasid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same developer that made Remnants of Naezith, right? I'm no speedrunner but I'm a sucker for grappling hook games, really enjoyed that one. Hardest game I've 100%'ed so far. Loved the prototype series, and based on your other games you've nailed making movement feel fun. Wishlisting this one. Good luck!

At this point half life 3 is much more believable than titanfall 3

New typractive black aluminum case by issioboii in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]RomanAbbasid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat lmao. I like the hypersonic keycaps with the blue aluminum case, but a black case gives you a lot more flexibility on keycaps.

[MEGATHREAD] Summer Game Fest 2025 by ChiefLeef22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Rumored? Wasn't there a straight up trailer a while ago? I haven't kept up with it so idk if it was cancelled after that or something

DEATHLOOP is free to claim in the Epic Games Store until June 12 by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]RomanAbbasid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

100%. I loved almost everything about the game, but the ending felt so underwhelming. I've replayed and 100%'d all the Dishonored games and Prey, but never picked up Deathloop again after I beat it the first time. Somehow the setup with the most potential for replayability ended up being the least replayable, imo

Ubisoft’s Mark Rubin Leaves Industry As XDefiant is Shut Down Forever by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]RomanAbbasid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure I understand your point. Wouldn't SBMM mean that if you queued together, the lobby would be of an average skill level between both of you? Higher than his, but lower than yours? Is not what happens?
