Thanks, been looking into this and it seems there is Descenders and Descenders Next. The former is really well received but it seems Next is still quite a work in progress. The impression I get from the store page is Descenders only has mountain biking? Still looks great though.
I hate that Ubisoft have Steep and Riders Republic. Hands down my favourite snowboarding/skiing games that aren’t SSX.
I don’t suppose there are any better alternatives? I much prefer the arcade style over realism. It’s nice to be able to finish work and just freeride to unwind.
There are still excuses.
I love gaming on my Steam Deck, but I’m not ready to make that PC switch yet because I don’t have the time anymore to sit and fuck around trying to get a game to run.
Would that tinkering be patch Tuesdays once a month and having to click “not now” a few times? If so that is one of the reasons I want to get off the Windows ship!
I can’t stand having more “features” pushed on me that is very clearly not for my benefit.
I’m eager to move off Windows, I made a comment months ago saying I will switch when Linux is 100% compatible for gaming and got downvoted and told it’s ready, but checking the games I play on protondb they require tinkering. I have less time these days and don’t want to fuck around trying to get the games to run. The only tinkering I require in Windows at the moment is removing motion blur from games and increasing FoV, I don’t need to add command line arguments to get multiplayer in a game to partially function.
I got a Steam Deck 4 months ago in prep for having a child, and I’ve been really pleased with SteamOS. I feel Linux is so very close.
I previously complained to my local MP about the OSA implementation and their response was
“Online platforms must not collect or store personal data during age verification, and many third-party solutions verify age without accessing sensitive identity information. I support the Information Commissioner’s Office in enforcing these protections and ensuring that data collection is minimised.”
I look forward to using this news as an “I told you so” that they will now doubt ignore.
I don’t know if it’s still good, but when I had my headset I loved Synth Riders. At times I felt like I was really dancing. Some of the “experiences” were great too, there was a Muse one that was really well done!
