Super bummer!
As Italian, I feel kinda ashamed by my fellow countryfolks that have astonishingly underestimated all the things, causing the virus to spread so quickly for no good reasons.
And now there are entire towns quarantined, empty supermarkets, and pharmacies grossly overpricing hand sanitizers.
Here in Brighton, UK we had one of the first super-spreaders in Europe a couple of weeks ago, leading to closed schools, nurseries, and surgeries.
But the NHS reaction was so swift that the problem got kinda solved in a matter of days.
In cases like indie games it could help to just tweet the devs, perhaps they don't know just how easy it is to enable Steam cloud saves.
Yeah I read that earlier today. I work in the Austrian healthcare system (so its good to hear you're confident in it - I am, too) and we're also pretty close to Italy (I'm from Carinthia)...and my brother lives there, actually. He works in a school that has been closed due to coronavirus panic... it all seems a bit overblown to me, too. But I guess it's better to contain a new virus we don't know so well, yet.
And I've just been sick, I can do without any further infections and viruses and somesuch. Let's hope this doesn't escalate to something silly.

That's not a bad idea.
I normally feel kinda reluctant to reach out to indie devs on Twitter 'cause I feel like it's pestering them with minor quibbles. Like I don't want to add to that avalanche of Entitled Gamer Demands (tm.) they seem so burdened with, even if my suggestions are minor.
Guess I could see it more when a game is in EA as that's the window for player feedback.
I have also seen, especially with VR games, that there are some games that doesn't have tagged cloud saves on the store page, but the game still have cloud saves going to the properties.
After the Index? Imo yes, if you don't care about the Quest's stand-alone functionality, since the S is more comfortable and has slightly better picture quality. Also zero lag but not everyone notices the difference. Good luck getting either of the two though right now.

It's kind of amazing how the concurrent peaks on Steam have grown across the board. 1 or 2 years ago, the last few spots in the the top 20 would peak at 10k-15k max, with the rest of the top 100 coming under 10k. Now the 5 digit peaks extend to more than half the top 100 list. Wouldn't be surprised if throughout this year we see around 80%-90% of the top 100 reach a 10k+ peak simultaneously.
There is just too much good stuff to play.

Resident Evil 3 remake demo announced; new previews, gameplay, and screenshots
Capcom will release a demo for the Resident Evil 3 remake, the company announced. More information will be announced in the near future.

Just wish it had better TAA implementation, too much shader aliasing/shimmering in all those games. Eurogamer video is cringe when the staff is on screen.
If cost is a factor then it's 1st best, if you can easily drop over double its asking price with no regrets then Index is an one way street, with caveats, when sold.

It's the best rhythm game on Steam, for sure. And just wait till they port all of PS4 DLCs,
Still doesn't hold a candle to Bemani games though...
Sweet, I'm waiting for a few updates before jumping in, I want to have more content so this roadmap is looking good.
Preorder. Guess WRC8 didn't do too well over at youknowwhere.

Not quite dead yet either.

Because there is a vaccine against the flu. If you are in one of the danger groups, you could sleep soundly with knowing you had your flu shot.
THERE IS NO VACCINE AGAINST COVID! If you are in the danger group, some fuckwit who is a carrier and babbles about how covid isn't that dangerous CAN LITERALLY KILL YOU!
What sorcery is this, a good looking IndieGala bundle?

Eh, if the flu shot was 100% efficient, ok, but that’s farrrrr from being the case.
I say that as a pro-vax who will happily and proudly take my vax, don’t get me wrong.
Worst thing is, since the virus is so novel, when you get it and stave off infection, your immune system won't learn how to handle the stuff.
So a reinfection is quite likely, and given how the virus damages lung matter, the 2nd infection might not end as well as the 1st one.
And if that scares you, don't look up what feline Coronavirus can do to cats

I'll take my chances that the flu shot is only 95% or so effective. Against 0% effectiveness against Covid.
I love that website! I'd first seen it after watching a video made by the site's owner. It was (among other things) about water rendering in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
In the few months since my last visit he added a lot of new maps though... I'm impressed.
Edit: wow, he even added Super Mario Odyssey!
Ha, I didn't even know. Way to go EGS with that curation, store visibility strategy.
Man that gnome achievement was annoying.

I think Path of Exile has clicked for me, I think that playing as a Witch did it. Same thing happened to Diablo 3, started palying as a Barbarian, was fun, but changed out of the blue to Mage or whatever magic/wizard class there is and it was a lot more fun.
Might do a magic class in Wolcen too, but not sure.

I'm sure Kingdom Hearts will come to PC soon, there's probably still announcements for the Switch, money hat for the Stadia version, mobile devices, PC.

I have been using this search lab project for weeks now. It's truly great, simply just being able to remove owned games from top seller list is really great.Steam :: Steam News :: Search Updates

yup ... it's mostly just augmented steam stuff ... but still - at least now we can finally use it directly in the client
Probably the least supriseing of any acquisitions, I fully expected this, actually, Im suprised it didn't happen sooner.

Welcoming Sanzaru Games to Facebook | Meta Quest Blog
VR is home to many remarkable developers doing incredible work, pioneering a whole new language of game design, and pushing themselves to always achieve more. Sanzaru Games was one of the earliest development houses to take these steps, and, just a few months ago, we saw the state of VR gaming...

Pretty worried about coronavirus myself. Partially for my elderly parents, but also for myself. Don't want to spend a while in a hospital if I can afford it. The relatively high hospitalization rate has me spooked for sure.
Wish Asgard's Wrath would go on sale.
Can't remember if I posted about it here but I picked up Temtem not long after launch (GMG sale). It really worked for me, but it did get me in that Pokemon mood so I bought Pokemon Sword too. Actually enjoying both for what they are, surprisingly. Extra surprising because although I owned a bunch of Pokemon games since Pokemon Blue, which I really liked, I hadn't gotten into any Pokemon since Blue (and... well... Snap...)

I have the luxury problem of having become addicted to multiple games, so Im just sitting here without playing anything.
Ok Square, now that all the Kingdom Hearts games are out on Xbox, PC is next I hope.
