      I live outside the US so with me regional pricing it’s like $12.

      Now, my steamdeck will not boot up.

      It was glitchy after a decky update so I’ve got to fix that first.

        Try booting into a live environment and renaming the folder with the Decky plugins. I think it’s ~/homebrew.

        If you want to completely disable Decky from autostarting, you can chroot into your SteamOS and disable plugin_loader.service with the command “systemctl disable plugin_loader.service”. You might have to add “–user” after the word disable.

            You will need a USB type C to type A adapter and a USB hub. Flash the SteamOS recovery image (or any other distro) to a flash drive, noting that it will erase all the data on it. Plug a keyboard and that flash drive into the Steam Deck, then hold volume down while turning it on to get into the boot menu.

            For chrooting instructions, read this: https://linuxcommandlibrary.com/man/steamos-chroot

            Your drive is going to be /dev/nvme0n1

            You may need to switch into your user profile after chrooting if the first systemctl command doesn’t work. I think the username in SteanOS is “deck”, so the command is “su deck”

    First time buying a game on gog instead of steam. The deciding factor for me was that I could get the soundtrack on flac on gog, and Steam doesn’t tell you what format you’ll get.

      kinda weird that steam’s storepage doesn’t specify the formats, BUUUUT, the system requirements hit towards flac being available as well:

    I don’t mind Steam for my copy, but if you’re worried about achievements I can say they have in game ones to scratch that itch if you’re considering GoG for drm free experience.

    I might just get two copies, depending how I feel after beating it. $20 USD is a bit of a steal.

        Sadly yes, I’ve seen so many people ruin their fun/appreciation of a game because they “needed” to 100% the game

          Do you feel like it’s a large % of the people who would buy this game?

          I know completionists exist, although I know like 1 personally.

            I haven’t played this game (or the first one), but it feels like the kind of game (metroidvania) that would attract completionists (and speedrunners)

        I like achievements. I just like seeing that little popup after I do something. It’s like the game giving me a round of applause. I don’t care for getting all of them or anything like that.
