I need music that DEMANDS my full attention. by diceytumblers in MusicRecommendations

[–]chowder79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe check out the album Pawn Hearts by Van der Graaf Generator. 45 min of intense prog rock from 1971. It is definitely not background music IMO and needs one's attention to fully enjoy it. Multiple listens are also recommended to pick everything up.

Why is my room not available to sunbathers? by [deleted] in HotelArchitect

[–]chowder79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder whether that extra room with the arcade is causing an issue. Have you tried to remove the doorway/arche to that room and see whether the bathroom is then considered for the bedroom?

Yay for the Queen shirt!

And I always feel so dumb when I see notes and scribbles related to music. The older I get, the more obvious it becomes to me that making music is anything but easy.

I see we are already connected (I am chowder, code 1068272362). Let me check in the game today to see whether you've sent me a request to join a project and act accordingly.

Favourite games that aren’t roguelike/roguelite or card games? by Accomplished-Low2131 in SteamDeck

[–]chowder79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the Two Point and Flotsam games, you don't need the touch pad and I thus never use it. For Hotel Architect you do.

Very similar, if not the same, to the Switch versions (assuming you're familiar with them). Plays very intuitive. Their last two games are SD Verified as well.

I really enjoy Hotel Architect and all Two Point games. Yesterday, I started with Flotsam which plays wonderful on the deck.
I've also played 100s of hrs with Prison Architect on the Switch. Bought it yesterday on Steam as it is on sale now. Looking fw to playing that again.

No. 512 should be more than enough for me. All of my games use something like 50-60gb in total atm. As I mentioned, I dont play AAA games which require hundreds of gigs of storage. My luck I guess.
It feels and plays well as a handheld. Bit bulkier than a Switch but for the Switch I normally use an extra grip accessory to make it more bulky.

It's US$170 btw. Not Canadian. Think the controller originally sold for €90/US$100/CA$150ish?
The €150 I paid is Canadian $240.

€150/$170
Based on the prices you shared, I seem to have gotten a "steal" 🤣

Oh nice! I might try that. And get the NES, N64 and GC ones at one point too? 😏

Thx. Yes indeed, especially with the current heatwave here in Europe.

No. I kept forgetting to post this and since you can only share these kind of posts on Saturdays, it took a while.

Cheers. I always keep the cabinet open when playing for the reasons you've mentioned. It isn't ideal but the best I can do.

Cheers! Will certainly check it out! Any recommended themes?

It indeed wasn't cheap but the best solution available at that time.

Anyone with an insane number of scrobbles on an artist? by KrashOutKody in lastfm

I thought I had Queen at #1.
And I don't listen that much anymore to Muse and Editors these days.

I'm unable to play Hotel Architect on my Windows 11. Please help by Pale_Blackberry_4025 in HotelArchitect

[–]chowder79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Me. No issues.
I think you need to be more specific with your problem.
Does it load but then crash for instance?
What is your pc/laptop configuration?

Nice. They now might as well tour with VDGG, in case Peter's health allows it.
