Love Vintage Story. The game is a survival blocky game with lots of ways to play. This is a chill video to relax and or fall asleep too.

Following on from the success of the Steam Deck, Valve is creating its very own ecosystem of products. The Steam Frame, Steam Machine, and Steam Controller are all set to launch in the new year. We've tried each of them and here's what you need to know about each one.

"From the Frame to the Controller to the Machine, we're a fairly small industrial design team here, and we really made sure it felt like a family of devices, even to the slightest detail," Clement Gallois, a designer at Valve, tells me during a recent visit to Valve HQ. "How it feels, the buttons, how they react… everything belongs and works together kind of seamlessly."

For more detail, make sure to check out our in-depth stories linked below:

Steam Frame: Valve's new wireless VR headset

Steam Machine: Compact living room gaming box

Steam Controller: A controller to replace your mouse

Valve's official video announcement.

So uh, ahem.

Yes.

Valve can indeed count to three.

We got Steam Machines, a new Steam Controller, and Steam Frame people!

I saw this during NextFest. Oceaneers combines a couple of favs. Here is a let's play of the start.

In case you missed my previous post I'm hosting a fundraiser to get Garry to come back so players can get the "Yes, I am the real garry!" achievement.

We've got four days left before the end of the fundraising goal, and we're still a bit short.

If you haven't donated yet, now is the perfect time. All proceeds go to Child's Play, a charity who help provide comfort to children in hospitals and domestic abuse shelters around the world.

If you can't donate, but want to help out (or go the extra mile) like the video and share it around, hijacking the algorithm is a good way of getting the word out.

Thank you in advance!

Please donate if you can:

(remember, all donations are made in USD, not in your local currency)

Hey everyone,

A few years ago I started a Steam Group with one goal, to figure out how to get Garry Newman’s attention and convince him to come back for a day, so people could finally earn the "Yes, I am the real Garry!" achievement legitimately.

I tried reaching out a few times, but never got through. So instead of waiting forever, I decided to make something positive out of it.

I’ve launched a Tiltify fundraising event for Child’s Play. We’re already sitting at $484 USD raised, and I’d love for more Garry's Mod fans to get involved.

For the uninitiated, Child’s Play is a charity that provides games, consoles, and entertainment to children’s hospitals and domestic violence shelters around the world. It’s been helping kids escape difficult realities through play for over 20 years, something every gamer can relate to.

If you want to take part or just support the cause, here’s the link:

Even if Garry dismisses our attempt at grabbing his attention, we'll still be doing some good in the world.

More and more subtle gaming laptops are being released. Would you pick one or opt for one that looks like a spaceship?

I've never seen the hype so real that it instantly crashes steams purchace processing servers.

You can get it on GOG and Humble Bundle still

Humble changed their pricing model this year, so it's my last year subscribing, so I want to use a little more discretion and skip some months because they do have "tent poles" that interest me sometimes. This month the tent pole is Persona 5, which I hear is good, but I still have Persona 4 on my backlog and it doesn't interest me too much.

I love these market sim games. Here is one set in the american west.

In case you didn't know, the RTS game "Stormgate" was recently (silently) full released, without any advertisement. It is F2P (campaign purchaseable for 25$) and aiming to become the Starcraft 2 successor - a lot of the old lead Starcraft 2 and Warcraft 3 developers formed the new studio that develops Stormgate.

The game is available here: https://playstormgate.com/

Kickstarter backers aren't happy with not getting the full campaign they thought they already paid for

Did anyone play the Star Rupture demo over the weekend? Needs more work, but I had fun.

We had a chat with one of the original creators of Counter-Strike.

Rogue is one of the most influential games of all time. Even if you haven’t played it, you’ve definitely played several games that have Rogue’s DNA in them. It became so popular when it was released for UNIX-based systems in 1980 that it created its own genre, which we still know as ‘roguelike games’. Even in the decades when these games were niche experiences, the genre was important. The action role-playing game Diablo built directly on the roguelike genre, which means that all the games that followed in Diablo’s footsteps also have their roots here.

American Jim Sachs is one of the true greats in the area of classic pixel art. He is particularly known for his work on the Amiga, where he was responsible for the graphics in one of the platform’s most important system sellers, Defender of the Crown, as well as Ports of Call, which was a favourite here in Norway. However, his career didn’t end there, and if you were impressed by virtual aquariums around the turn of the millennium, it was probably his fish you were looking at.
