I fucking hate Discord. Probably gonna get a lot worse if they do go with the indexing plans.

That said, Discord is the place I had previously gotten stuff from that I couldn't get anywhere else, and in a neat all-in-one installer package, too.

    Echoing this. I've been playing exactly The First Encounter on my Steam Deck and it's just great - the controller support is nice, mixed input is nice for controller+gyro, the performance is great as well, no crashes in my experience. And it's insanely convenient.

    How about UZDoom and some kick-ass famous WADs from Cacowards from all the years? Freedoom wads let you do a lot of it without owning the original games:

    Easily one of the most bountiful communities with endless maps and mods and sprites and music and whatever you can imagine and then some.

    looks too cartoonish for a fps

    You can't disrespect Team Forteess 2 like that after admitting to love a Valve game, especial\y Counter-Strike - both are epitome to gameplay over visuals, with the former using its visuals to bolster the FPS aspect (with silhouttes and such).

    Take this from another avid FPS enjoyer of decades - it fucking rocks.

    Depending on your region and time of day, the communication can be very much what you'd expect from Counter-Strike and Valve games in general, but it's easier to get people talking like a team. Probably just for now as the game is still invite-only and somewhat niche. Like, you not having played it with the kind of query you're making the starter post? That's a genuine surprise.

    Fun to learn and master, especially after mostly FPS.

    And since we're here, THE FINALS. Easily the most unique online FPS that is also completely free, their Cashout gamemode being something you just can't describe through other games - it's not bomb defusal, it's not capture-the-flag, it's not king-of-the-hill, but it's awesome. Treat yourself to something new and fun, trust another CS player - it's really good.

    Don't wanna dox myself, but yea, but only technically and marginally. I had lead a less healthy lifestyle a few years ago, which, when thought back of, really feels like an older age due to lower body inflexibilities and back pain.

    Leave two bullshitters in a room and they come up with this lol

    There's no way "Paddy" explains the disastrous results to Patel, who's gonna be real mad at the end of these 24 months, if not sooner, wondering where all the money went and where's the ROI.

    Truly the rule of dumb.

    Discomfort can be so great for you! Or maybe it's too much comfort leading to greater downsides - not sure.

    A while ago, I was stuck in a situation where I had to use a backless chair for a week or so. I found myself switching positions and stretching and taking breaks more often, and how it actually led to less fatigue at the end of the day, both mental and physical. Then I tried expanding it to another experiment I had tried years back: floor-sitting, but not with my back towards a wall or a heavy piece of furtniture, with something in-between for comfort - I just set up my laptop where it was most convenient and relied on my back and legs to do the support, still taking breaks and stretching. In no time, I noticed a lot more flexibility in my legs and spine, and the morning back pain was just gone, like it was never there! Of course, initially there was discomfort, and there still is if I don't listen my body, but overall, I feel so much healthier and lighter and more capable than my peers - especially those going to the gym and buying ergonomic PC/gaming/office chairs and such.

    So I'm probably very biased towards that headline.

    I am being watched!

    I have not booted the game since that comment lol

    No regrets, though, I'm still playing it a little on the 31st and have had a good time gaming anyway.

    What's your Spooktober progress?

    While the support itself doesn't necessarily mean OS-level toggle like the Steam Deck has right (which I believe is still at FSR 1), it still could be a nice touch for the titles that choose to implement FSR 4. This is just my uneducated guesswork, please see this comment for proper expectations:
