It’s available to test out currently, but based on what I’ve read it’s still pretty buggy at the moment.

It will probably be at least a couple more months before it’s ready if I had to guess. They’re making pretty constant and regular improvements outside of that though.

Currently I don’t believe that’s possible.

If you want a way to view Mastodon, I’d suggest either the Ice Cubes app or Elk (website).

Steam Deck is excellent for work travel. Easy to set up and play in bed at a hotel.

As some people in the comments mentioned, it’s because Steam itself relies on Chromium on the backend. And Chrome is dropping support for Windows 7/8.

That being said, if you have a machine connected to the internet you really should be on Windows 10/11 or Linux at this point.

It’s pretty risky to be running an unpatched and unsupported version of Windows these days.

Hey, so 1 year ago they actually released a solution to this exact issue.

In Siege of the Atlas they added an Atlas passive tree which allows you to block content in the endgame, to make it a more focused experience with the systems you want to work with.

For every system you block, it increases the chance of the other systems showing up instead. Additionally, some of the legacy content in the game has been reworked to feel more consistent with modern quality standards.

We’re not at Path of Exile 2 levels of refinement, but Path of Exile 1 is in a great state at the moment.

Known issue, they are working on it.

It mostly just contains graphical changes, and adds optional ray tracing which I wouldn’t suggest unless you have a very powerful computer.

It had some issues when it first came out, but it seems to work fine now from my experience. Don’t expect anything groundbreaking but it’s a nice update. Textures especially look better overall.

STS was Java running on libgdx.

STS2 will be C# on Godot.

The short version:

  • Game is good, came out at the right time, had a lot of hype and lived up to the hype

Longer details:

  • The game is just really well made. It’s extremely fun, very polished (except for a few weird bugs), and complete
  • It has a massive IP tied to it. This game had impossible levels of hype and it met those expectations somehow
  • The recent D&D movie was a large success, and D&D in general has been the most popular it has ever been lately
  • Divinity OS 2 Definitive Edition was very well received, people trust Larian to deliver a good product
  • People are sharing this game with their friends. They had a strong marketing push as well as really strong word of mouth
  • Final Fantasy 16 left a lot of us wanting a more traditional RPG after FF16 was anything but traditional
  • We currently live in an era of games like Diablo 4 which ask for a $70 price tag, and then also have a paid battle pass and paid cosmetics. This game came out at $60 content complete with no additional microtransactions. Ultimately that makes this game much easier to reccomend to people.
