It sucks because i’d love to get my hands on the Alan Wake remaster and Alan Wake II on steam if they put it on there, if only so i can have easier integration with Steam’s QOL features. Maybe one day Remedy will pull what they did with the OG Alan Wake when they bought the publishing rights from Microsoft and buy the Publishing rights to Alan Wake II from Epic

That was part of the same issue i had as well, i kept having to put it on hold for a tough boss. I hope your able to see it through to the end this time!

I always listen to the music. With the way remedy is it plays such a vital part in it that i would be caught dead before skipping them. It may be nostalgia bias for the first one but particularly Poet of The Fall’s Heroes and Villains was my favorite, RAKEL’s Follow You Into The Dark knocked it out of the park too.

Then there was a segment in the game that used the same music from the first episode of Alan Wake I, and that to me felt really clever because of the parallels too it. Overall i feel like remedy knocked it out of the park in all departments, and the music especially was no exception.

I would say it is worth playing the first one because it builds off of the ending and a lot of the plot exposition in it. I do think 2 does a decent job of explaining things quickly to newcomers, but if you have the time I’d say playing the first one is a good idea to get the full picture

I’ll have to look into getting a Ubiquiti once my Airport finally bites the dust because there are some QOL features I’d like to have. I’m starting to think that my airport will never die though

I like Lemmy’s feel. It feels much more of a community because of small size. It’s easier to catch up, like there’s not as much of a FOMO because you maybe get 1-2 new things every hour instead of having 400 posts shoved down your throat after refreshing. At least that’s how I feel

Ooh. No I have not. I’ll have to check tomorrow because now I’m interested in how many I’ve missed so far

Probably just me coping, but I’m hoping this leads to the return of Airports. I still have an Airport Extreme I use for my router. Having one that can do proper mesh though would be a god send, and having Wi-Fi 6 support would be awesome along with a newer SMB standard for the Time Capsule.

I grew up in the Southern/Midwest U.S., and a large part I don’t miss, but I find myself missing the small town culture. I liked being able to know almost everybody there

Every single one I see. Idk if anything will come out of petting them all but at this point it’s more habit than anything

This was something i noticed too. I probably won’t be using the app much because i already have all their music i want in my iTunes cloud library but the selection is odd and the choice too release the music selectively feels strange too me. I feel like they’d get more profit if they had most of their stuff on their from the get go

idk if it’s considered obscure but I’d love to see the OG Viva Pinata get a remake (Or remaster atleast)

This will be helpful for discerning if a game can run on the Steam Deck. There’s not many games that don’t have verification (Either by Valve or ProtonDB) but for newer games with anticheat it will serve as a good rule of thumb i imagine

Thank you! I try to avoid spoilers in mine. I usually use Lemmy’s built in spoiler feature when it’s though inevitable or i really want to share it, but i just recently found out that not every client does spoilers the same way so i think i’ll have to think up some other idea

I loved control, it had so many unique ideas. i only got halfway through though before having to delete it to make space though sadly. With my playthrough of Alan Wake II i think i want to dedicate myself to going back and finishing it soon though

up until recently Alan Wake was the only Remedy game i played. I picked up control and loved it and then recently played through Max Payne. I think it’s evolved from Alan Wake being my favorite game too Remedy being my favorite game studio. It makes me excited seeing how all these things connect together.

it’s something i’ve considered happening lol. i think there’s been a few times i thought i posted something only to remember that i didn’t actually and had to go do it before the end of the day

I plan on picking up the DLCs at some point. Probably not until early next year though due to my financial situation

Loving it. I played a little bit on launch but put it on the shelf due to the performance (hoping updates would help) and I felt a little iffy on it due to how Alan was portrayed and the far more survival horror like gameplay. But since picking it up again it’s grown on me. I think if put against the First One/American Nightmare I don’t think I could pick a favorite. I love both for different reasons

i need to get back into Cyberpunk. I started but had to uninstall it for space.
