I feel a bit empty now... 
I'll be very surprised if this doesn't end up in a high spot in my best of the year list.

Seeing what happens with Relooted on steam forums is disgusting and people seem to complain more about resetera complaining about it rather than taking issue with the steam forumsGood stuff by The Guardian. Valve should be hammered down about this.
‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront
Multiple game creators describe ineffective moderation on the platform, resulting in unchecked hatred in forums and targeted campaigns of negative ‘anti-woke’ reviewswww.theguardian.com
I finished the campaign for Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred expansion last night and now trying to determine what game I should complete next:
Fallout 76
Star Wars The Old Republic (finally get a character up to max level and complete a storyline)
Tree of Savior
Black Desert Online
New World
Infinity Nikki
I would play through Path of Exile/Path of Exile 2/Diablo 2 Resurrected, but I want to take a month or two break from those types of games atm.

Been playing Romeo is a Dead Man and yeah, this game is legit.
Janky as fuck and equally as visually striking.
Who needs AAA when good shit like this exists?

Steam was at 31.1 million average monthly active users in the past 6 months in the European Union alone. This is up from 29.9 million in the last period.

Does anyone here use Backloggd as a discovery site? I love browsing through random lists because they always contain games that are forgotten by many.
For example, I found this list "pre-2010 games featuring fake internet" when I was looking at .hack entries. Apart from games like SMT or Silver Case, it also has relatively famous games like lain, Kowloon's Gate and I/O. Also saw Kita he, another Japanese cult classic, and I never knew that it has anything to do with fake Internet. And then there's Sakura Momoko no Ukiuki Carnival, in which Miyamoto was involved in its development, but somehow I had never heard of it before.
On the downside, it uses IGDB database which isn't perfect. For instance, many VN publishers don't have all their games listed in there. But I can use VNDB on those instead.

Most of the games you listed seem like large scale multiplayer/MMO/endless live service games so I'm not sure how exactly you'd classify 'completing' them.
That said, from this list I'd say give New World a go. The game is going to shut down it's servers in January next year and then it'll be lost forever. The game is probably already dead when it comes to player population but you can probably still go around the world completing the quests. I can't remember if the main quest required dungeons but it most likely did and you might have a lot of trouble finding groups for those.
I played the game at launch and it was quite an experience... the game looked amazing, especially by MMO standards, and had a lot of interesting ideas going for it. Unfortunately, the early days of the game were extremely tumultuous because of many rudimentary technical mistakes on the part of the developers and also their lack of foresight on how human nature works. The way the game community evolved was fascinating to witness... sort of like watching a Lord of the Flies society forming without any external guidance and norms to follow. I played the game for something like 650 hours and many of the problems weren't solved by the time I left the game to play Lost Ark. You'll miss out on all of that now but I still think it's a game worth checking out simply because it has an expiry date. The game world is really well made and if nothing else you can get to experience that for a bit.

Sort of bored this morning so I was looking at the top selling games for January and doing some (probably mostly incorrect) analysis.
One thing that stands out is that quite a few DLCs made the list this time. Maybe this is a trend that has been happening for a while but I just noticed it. Maybe it was because there weren't that many big hitters that released in January. I was glad to see that Pathologic 3 made the gold tier of the list though.
It's also mildly interesting that Highguard made it to the list, even if it is in the bottom tier. Not too bad for a game that released on 26th January so it only had 5 days worth of sales accounted for. Honestly, though, those 5 days probably represent the majority of money the game made on PC anyway. Now, there's also a game for uh... cultured people... that released on the 29th of the month and the developer was so thrilled with how well it did that he shared his sales numbers. It's a $15 game (with Valve recommended regional pricing) that sold 10,000 copies in the first 48 hours. That game is also in the bronze tier of top sellers. There's isn't even remotely enough data to make any correlation between how much money both games earned but... that other game made $150,000 (less with regional pricing) and it landed up in the same revenue tier as Highguard. So...

When spending 500$ nearly 4 years ago is considered a good tech purchase today.
What a weird timeline this is.
Nothing makes sense anymore.
I expect the Deck 2 to be like 800$ at the minimum and Valve will probably rollout even smaller batches to select steam users . Maybe yearly and not even quarterly this time.
The only way to keep the price of the Steam deck 2 down would be to use an ARM SOC in it. They're obviously working on getting Proton on ARM for the Steam frame but... the thing is, a natural and obvious expectation for the Steam deck 2 would be that the entire Steam library should work on it and I don't know if they would be able to guarantee compatibility for 50-80k games.
I'm confused by the headlines and responses (elsewhere) tbh. It is an UE game so of course it is developed for PC and then scaled. The issue with both Remake and Rebirth (to a lesser degree but still bad imo with awful textures + lighting in parts) is that they didn't give end users many of these scalability options and in the case of remake, barely included options in the first place + they both had shader issues.
Made in Japan Collection sale, aka "I've never heard of these Japanese games before" sale. Very cool.

Hello folks, so, you might remember that I said I would have something cool to share in a few weeks when the post opened, right?
Well, it is time to say that I just arrived from Iraq, I have spent the last week exploring the country and its archaeological marvels + some other places. So just wanted to say I'm back and I will upload some pics shortly ^^
People were great, felt super secure in all cities I went to and overall a lifetime experience.

The problem with Resetera is that you can't trust most people there to debate in good faith. Ever since Xbox collapsed Valve has become enemy number one for console warriors, of which there are many on Era. A lot of posters, and I do mean a lot, are piggybacking off Valve's legitimately shitty attitude towards moderation of their community to platform war without consequences.
I think the best thing to do is just not engage with ResetEra. Site has become a very unfriendly place to post in.
Seems like a bypass has been found for Denuvo in the last few days. I'm not completely up on how it works but it requires bios changes, granting access to the kernel and probably a fresh windows install on a separate disk to work. Seems to work for Borderlands 4, Steller Blade, the Personas and more so far.
Ugh, those disgusting websites with cracks for Capcom games! Tell us so we can avoid them!

As soon as I saw it I thought "sweet, I had that on my wishlist". Then I went to Steam and turns out I already own it, I have no idea how.
Yep Valve needs to fix that shit soon, there should be no room for far right idiots to spread their hate.Good stuff by The Guardian. Valve should be hammered down about this.

Wrote up some impressions for Avowed on PS5 and the Anniversary Update. Good update with more of what I liked and the new base price + day one experience is a lot better, but it will not convert you if you bounced off last year.
Had a good time with Romeo is a Dead Man. I rarely buy new games at random like that but I liked the trailer and also the regional price was good.
Now that I'm done I'm back on my bullshit playing Ace Attorney Investigations 2. The first game was a bit rough but even the first case in the second game is pretty good (for a first case in the series).
