[eurogamer.net]Valve asks Steam Deck owners to not smell vent fumes "Please refrain from this behaviour for the safety of your health."

Now I'm no native Enlgish speaker, but isn't 'for the safety of your health' a very crappy sentence?

Nope.

Well, the more you know I guess.  I figured your health could be endangered, but not your health's safety.  I mean, it's not like your health will be required to wear a safety helmet when at a construction site?

edit: also very smooth of me to have mistyped 'English' in my original comment.  cheeky

I couldn't sleep last night and reread my Englisch Country Tune review from so many years ago, which lead me down a rabbit hole when I googled the dev.
It's this one guy, Stephen Lavelle, who created 486 'games' over little more than a decade.  Only 2 of those were big commercial releases, namely the title above and Stephen's Sausage Roll. I know SSR, but haven't played it and wasn't aware it was by the same guy. Both games were lauded for being master classes in puzzle design and for being tough as nails, even if not many mainstream games sites reviewed them.

If you visit his website increpare.com you can browse everything he ever made. Most of it is freeware, often onlyavailable via html5 or this open source puzzle game enginehe himself wrote.

He seems to have stopped creating games some time last year, but the quality of his 2 commercial releases and just the sheer size of the work he has created are very impressive.

Sonic and Mario at #6 and #8 respectively for most searched game characters on Pornhub? Minecraft at #3 for most searched games there? Among Us is near the bottom but the fact that it’s even on there. LOL

I have no words.

With all the weird hats that the characters can wear, maybe someone is envisioning hats with kinkier items.

Now that is truly shocking. No Bowsette either. Shameful.

I guess Nintendo was right all along in not going through with an official Bowsette. No lasting power.
Everyone's darling, replaced by the next up and coming starlet the year after.

So I'm playing lost judgment and I've come up against something I really don't like. You become an advisor of an esports club in the high school you work at, and they make you play Virtua Fighter 5. I'm going to have to play on preschool level. Difficulty to come close to winning. God. I hate this series. I'm just so damn bad at it.

So do we have a BG3 thread, if not I'm making one. It's really good.

I've been playing this Zelda 2 fan mod who made the game more accessible with great QoL features, some new abilities and extra content. It's a fun update to a classic but still hard as hell even with better checkpoints. No save states allowed is killing me.

I'm also in the middle of yakuza 3, the combat is completely and utterly broken in the remastered version, especially on hard. Apparently something to do with the better frame rate leads to enemies always blocking, I can't hit anyone. Fights take forever. Story is fun. The game is mostly the same as the first two. I know the series gets much better later but I need to play them in order.

The insomniac leak is pretty wild and unfortunate. Hackers holding personal info for ransom is never good. They released everything they hacked and with it came a bunch of info on the future of Insomniac, their plans, budgets, Wolverine details and more. The big news is Wolverine is leading to three X-men Games which insomniac got the exclusive license for. Those will come out after Spider-Man 3 which is coming in 2027. Ratchet getting a tiny budget for a new game some time in 2028, at least it's still alive.

It's the apostrophe causing the page not the load. Remove it from the link you can view the page.
