Before you fight the second boss in Montreal, there's a long corridor with a side-room that has a heavy rifle.
At least both GoG Galaxy 2.0 and Playnite use those, so it might be easier to share the load to create new custom ones
You just reminded me of Eliza. Rip 12.5 eurosThey are using them, you can see them in Steam Database in information (many games still dont have them):
Turn on metered connection option. This prevents it from updates or restarting.
someone told me that didn't work anymore
There's a way to remove them with a browsers console. I'm on mobile but should be an easy google.
That is how ive been doing it for years and at worst i got a notification that a mandatory update should be done but actually updating becomes manual under metered connection.
Seems like they added an option to mark a game as "Played on Another Platform", which is pretty nice.

On another note; anyone noticed their wishlist count is incorrect?
I guess it's wishlisted apps that have since been removed from the store, but I'm not sure how I can delete all those in one go.
Edit: Yeah, turns out I have 42 unlisted games on my wishlist according to https://www.steamwishlistcalculator.com
New chat loads longer than some games and generates disgusting cpu spikes, they can keep that trash ui till 2077.
I have custom images for all of my 400 games, so that update is going to break my heart
RTSS was causing it.
My advice: after having spend an appropriate time on a level (understand what things you can do, what the game wants you to do, what the game specifically blocks you from doing, and maybe see what outside-the-box thinking you may do), go on Youtube, check the solution, and perform it yourself by trying to understand what you're doing and why you're doing it (instead of blindly following a formula). Then move on to the next, and spend again some time on it before looking at the solution, etc.
I played it on XB through game pass and plan on buying it on Steam. The game has some really odd design decisions and difficulty spikes, but I liked it overall. Having one power tied to a resource was really annoying and lead to me grinding a bit for each attempt at areas that required that power. Also the first proper long dungeon brutally difficult and unfair at the end.I'm only about 3 hours in, but I want to say that Ashen is pretty damn awesome and people shouldn't sleep on it when it comes to steam in a couple of months.
Yeah, it's indie-Dark Souls, but it's so far really good indie-Dark Souls. I'd actually recommend it to people who are leery of Dark Souls' more esoteric parts but want to try out the series.
Stuff that's similar to Dark Souls:
- Stamina based combat that 'feels' like a souls game. It's not quite as tight, but it's a scary-close approximation for an indie team.
- Really nice level design. It's got more open fields than your average souls game, but the architecture on a micro scale is similarly circuitous and enemy placement definitely has the same 'use the environment to your advantage or have it used against you' feeling.
- Die and lose all your money but keep your items. Do a corpse run to retrieve your lost money.
- Recharge estus equivalents at bonfire equivalents
- Somewhat abstracted lore with lots of mystery (though the NPCs are definitely more yappy).
- Find an NPC to bring them back to your home base to become a vendor or whatever.
Different from Dark Souls:
- It's got a map and it's got quest markers, which gives you a clear set of goals and motivation to roam the entirety of the map. It also clearly sign posts when you need to go back to NPCs (or find them in a new area) to talk to them to continue down a side quest (which has always been a pain in the souls games). There's no mini map though, so you aren't constantly staring at the bottom corner of the screen while playing.
- There's no point allocation on level up or stats like dexterity or attunement or whatever. You can't 'build' a character 'wrong' like you can in Dark Souls, so while it's a narrower experience, it puts the focus on gear and moment-to-moment ability more than prepping.
- A jump button! It's still a stubby jump like in the souls games (and it also has the same weird property of being a fairly long jump, but almost no height), but being able to jump without running and being able to mantle short ledges gives the exploring a slightly different feel. That said, it still has the sort of janky "everything has collision and you slide down slopes" feeling that Souls games have, but that just feels like home to me.
-A really slick visual style. The whole no-faces thing and pastel drab colours is something I really really like. It suits the atmosphere and fiction perfectly and is exceptionally clear to read.
- You are often joined by an NPC partner for free and they are very aggressive. They also don't permanently die and can heal themselves, so you don't have to worry about constantly protecting them. That said, their path finding is really wonky (they'll jump at walls forever when there's a ramp right next to them to get up to you) and it seems very abstracted to when they'll actually show up (as far as i can tell, you can't instigate them to come with you...they just sort of show up when they are in the area). But it definitely eases a lot of the combat difficulty (again, i'm early on, that may change).
So yeah. My opinion might change as I keep going, but I really like it so far and it seems like the EGS thing really smashed their chance to shine.
After you're doneI'm only about 3 hours in, but I want to say that Ashen is pretty damn awesome and people shouldn't sleep on it when it comes to steam in a couple of months.
