    Injuries are a bad excuse - look at the 49ers

    The game was lost by MLF playcalling in the second half and miserable clock management. Injuries and special teams disasters (rich Bisaccia) just made it harder.

    Can’t win games when it matters by taking the ball out of Love’s hands and repeatedly calling 1st/2nd down runs or bubble screens. It has been the same story for lafleur’s entire tenure, early on he was losing games by taking the ball out of Aaron Rodgers hands.

    Yes, I hope so! I’m tired of the mediocre coaches in the league that slip by because a loss in the wild card every year is “good enough.” —- Do you think they fire Matt Lafleur?

    Which I think really speaks to their business model and the fact that there is value in producing a quality product and caring about the consumer.

    Note: there is a darker side - the skin gambling and loot box issues that imo valve has not done enough to curb

    Late response, but:

    Caves of Qud +1 +1: This game blew away my expectations and really sucked me in in a way that i didn't expect given the graphics. I'm having another kid this year and excited to spend some time playing Qud on steam deck while holding the baby.

    POE2: This game is amazing and every content release feels great. I don't play a ton of live service games anymore, but this one is great.

    Factorio: Space Age - not sure if this counts, since factorio came out before 2020, but Space Age is basically a new game/massive expansion and rework. Factorio is my #1 best game of all time.

    Elden Ring - I'm a huge soulslike fan, grew up on elder scrolls and other RPGs. This game blew me away.

    Balatro - Sucked me in, excellent take on roguelike genre.

    Satisfactory - the other best factory game, really fun.

    Arc Raiders - Another live service game, but done really well and it seems like the dev team cares about the community and knows how to make an approachable extraction shooter.

    Snufkin: Melody of Moomin Valley - This game is awesome. Cute and fun for everyone, played it with my 4 yo.

    Outer Wilds - Going into this game blind was extremely enjoyable, probably something I'll revisit in a year or two when I've really forgotten the details.

    I’ve been looking at xreal for a while now - how are they? The Air pro 2s are relatively cheap, I’d be down to just get them if they’re good enough for movies, basic games, etc

    EU4 has almost $300 worth of DLC. Paradox is known for having one of the worst policies in the industry wrt to free updates and DLC

    Genuinely curious - are you just talking about the base game or being satirical?

    I have nowhere near 3k hours in paradox games so I may be wrong, but even now the EU4 base game feels pretty barebones and clunky to me.

    Checking this out today! At a surface level it seems really exceptional, I’ve used a few of this type of news aggregator before and none have really hooked me. The layout and conciseness of the Kagi one, along with the variety of sources has me intrigued though.

    I’ll definitely be using this for the next few weeks to try it out - thanks for the post!

    I would drop everything to buy a steam console in a heartbeat

    I’ve got hundreds upon hundreds of games on steam and bought a ps5 a couple years ago to satisfy the desire to play on my tv. A steam console would be a vastly superior option for me.

    Streaming with steam link or moonlight just is too janky for me
