Steam Store finally added genre browsing, so that the Codex can more easily select its next GOTY:

What are good sim-ish racing games with good discounts that are playable with a controller?
Already enjoying the Dirt rally, but would like some lap racing.

I haven't played them yet but they have controller support. Been playing Forza Motorsport 7 with a controller on gamepass a lot lately, if you don't mind that platform.
Thanks for your advice. AC was cheaper and, judging by reviews, better in terms of less annoyances, so went with that.

Also, glorious fiat knockoffs Totally Original Russian Avtoprom racing.

I also recommed to get ARMA 3 and its DLCs. It has never been so cheap and once you manage the controls it is worth 100s or 1000s of hours.



Also like every sale. Afaik it has recently been patched so the tracking is working again

"Deus Le Veult" does exist as a phrase in medieval French. Searching for "Deus LO Veult" brings up mostly results about this game.

It seems to me that if you open enough old books you sometimes find very, very strange forms of French.

Au moment de prendre la couronne, Napoléon prononce ces mots remarquables : « Dieu me la donne, gare à qui la touche !

We had several French here who said it is gibberish, but apparently that's precisely his words on his coronation.

I bought Fallout 76 in sales.I waited 5 seconds to take pack of cigarettes.Nights are dark as hell,you can't see a shit and Pip-boy flashlight is ugly.Your 5 meter away is so blurry.Lag is everywhere but I think C&C is better than Cyberpunk,i used my charisma for buying free gun.Overall,after 110 minutes,I refunded to game.

I bought Age of Decadence too and played 3 hours,so far so good.I started merchant path and I am looking for non-combat run.

It will be a step in the right direction if you can use "minus" tags -female main character -LGBQT

on steam main page, "Your Store" select preferences and add the tags you want to exclude from steam and its done.

Nice. I tried this and asked Steam to ignore "LGBTQ+"

The question is only when does a game has the tag. Only when a certain number of votes is reached or just when any idiot gives the game the tag?

Excluding tags have side effects (and ignoring is for fags anyway :smug:):

For example, "porn" games featuring lesbian scenes between big breasted women also have that tag sometimes. The L in LGBT, how ironic!
Grimoire has the Female Protagonist and Anime tag.

Zombra is right. And it's also possible to report the tags so they are removed after a certain threshold.
