  • It’s excellent. There’s missing art assets (placeholder graphics, especially noticeable with the keepsakes - they’re all just gold rings with a single letter pricetag rn), but the gameplay loop is great, the mechanics all appear to be in place and the audio is incredible (just wait until the zone 2 boss fight).

    It absolutely feels like a worthy successor to the original. Mel plays very differently than Zag, but the controls are no less tight. God Mode returns if you dislike “git gud”.

    Playing it on my Steamdeck, and thoroughly enjoying it.












  • Eureka Facile (or Manuale - they’re basically the same thing, Facile has extra sound dampening)

    A few 3D printed extras (angled based, angled hopper chute), and silicon bellows (Etsy sells everything), and you’ve got yourself one hell of a single doser.

    And it’s actually quiet, unlike many of the Baratza products; if they’re too much $, though the Encore ESP is good, and while loud-ish, quick.

    I had the Breville SGP before my Eureka, wasn’t a fan of it - stepless is the way.





  • Dude, with the exception of Gamepass, Linux gaming is really easy.

    If you’re okay with Redhat/Fedora, using Nobara Linux (it’s a spin-off, unofficial, but by the guy who does a lot of the Proton [magic compatibility sauce] stuff, GloriousEggroll, who AFAIK is a dev at RedHat) literally installs everything you need.

    Steam → Steam
    GoG/Epic → Heroic Launcher
    Amazon/Blizzard → Lutris
    Gamepass → You have to use the cloud version with Edge browser

    Click, install, game.

    There’s only a few Anticheat PITA titles still (I believe Valorant is one) that won’t work.
