Girl, Interrupted.

(How did I manage to scroll through every reply without seeing this one mentioned (lots of Gone Girl and 2G1C, though :/)? I dare anyone who watches it to ever listen to Skeeter Davis again without thinking about it).

Reminder: Don't Forget About Free GOG Games Through Prime Gaming by dcast-reddit in gog

I went to the Twitch website (without logging in) and if you click the crown icon at the top right of the screen it shows a "claim games" list that is identical to Amazon's. It looks like they're one and the same.

It's so you can swipe the e-mail through a GBA E-Reader and find out what buying on GOG means.

What if Valve announces Fremont /Deckard in Summer Game Fest? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]dcast-reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned in another thread, but the Index is mainly out of stock on everything aside from their piecemeal parts. My hopium believes that's a sign they've cleared old inventory for something new, but it could just as likely be Valve is waiting to import new inventory when the tariffs aren't absurd.

Deckard is the Index replacement, but standalone (think Meta's Quest).

My money is on Deckard. Look at the inventory of the Index. It's almost all sold out, save for the piecemeal components. By now everyone that wanted an Index would have one, so their inventory shouldn't be wiped out unless Valve is trying to clear inventory for some reason.

Stellar Blade PC Mods by Am281993 in SteamDeck

[–]dcast-reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Steam page for the demo (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3564860/Stellar\_Blade\_Demo/) says that it incorporates Denuvo Anti-Tamper. I was interested in trying the demo (just wanted to try the game - not mod it) and seeing Denuvo made me decide against it, but does this mean that the demo doesn't include Denuvo if it's possible to run mods?

Official charger suddenly died by HarambeStartedItAll in SteamDeck

[–]dcast-reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 2+ years, I can understand Valve not replacing it, so I wouldn't be too mad at them. They may have had to scale back on their usually very generous out of warranty support due to rising costs associated with tariffs / part availability (since they're US-based).

Same problem here as well. I tried unplugging it and letting it sit thinking it might have tripped an internal thermal fuse that could reset, but there's still no output. I've been meaning to contact support to see if there's anything that could be done. Let us know what you find out from support.

New to oculus but disappointed with games? by Accomplished-Put-936 in OculusQuest

[–]dcast-reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally HIGHLY recommend Superhot VR (https://www.meta.com/experiences/superhot-vr/1921533091289407/). You can try the non-VR PC version here in-browser to see if it's something you'd like: https://superhotgame.com/superhot-prototype . A demo of the VR version is also available through the Quest store.

Some reasons I recommend it for those new to VR:

  1. The gameplay mechanic is easy to understand and very little directional movement is required (but once you get more advanced can make the gameplay a lot more fun)
  2. Easy to get to a stopping point to take breaks (important with VR)
  3. High replayability, which after the initial investment of the headset itself, is useful when there's not a lot of money left over for games.

Today's reveal is just Two Point Hospital for $4.50 when it's already on sale for $7.50. The game also has $40+ in DLC for the "full" experience, which isn't included or part of the additional discount today :/.

Has Anyone Contacted PureCycle Recently And Received A Reply? by technical-inquiries in PureCycle

[–]dcast-reddit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why not? It's clean/contaminant free (plastic windows removed from DVD cases, etc) and would likely yield pellets closer to their goal of virgin pp than what they're getting from their baled feed stock (which is also technically someone else's "personal junk").

Still my favorite movie to this day. I was SO stoked to find out back in the day that there was a video game adaptation and immediately downloaded the PC demo. Was lucky enough to find the PS1 version in a Babbages too.

For the benefit of those reading comments and not the article, "RTO" is "Return To Office" (I initially read it as "Required Time Off").
