11-year-old boy to stand trial for mother's murder, motive suspected to be VR headset
  • So by your logic and reasoning this poor woman apparently committed suicide(?)!

    Yes he's a kid but he also resides in a state where anyone committing this crime is tried as an adult - that doesn't mean that he'll go to an adult prison if the outcome is prison time. If you read anything about it you'll know he's a straight-up psychopath and needs serious mental help!

  • What are you playing Wednesday
  • I thought I was the only one getting bored with Hogwarts, glad I'm not alone!

  • What are you playing?
  • Just now it's a replay of A Plague Tale: Innocence on Steam Deck; Aliens: Fireteam Elite; and mopping up achievements in Tomb Raider: DE.

    Me and a mate also thought it would be a good idea to start Payday 2 seeing as though 3 is coming out soon... plot twist, it was not a good idea!

  • Mapping keyboard keys to SteamDeck buttons
  • Everything I can see for it on the Arch wiki indicates the filesystem would need to be unlocked and after an update your changes would be wiped out. Alternatively brew.sh would potentially let you install xmodmap to do it although, without testing either method, I can't say if the changes would even follow through from Desktop to Game mode.

    However, in Game mode you can open these menus with Ctrl+1 for the Steam button and Ctrl+2 for ellipsis button.

  • I don't get why game companies do this. Same game, but the one on the left is JP boxart, while the one on the right is EU.
  • There's a number of reasons this can happen, a few just off the top of my head would be;

    The box/cover art is created by the publisher, the developer usually doesn't have a say unless they also publish it. You can see on both of your examples that the games have different publishers for the different regions, 505 vs Arc and Spike vs Ubisoft.

    The American/European publishers know that the Japanese cover art won't sell as well in their region as it would in Japan and vice versa.

    The name of the game sometimes changes with region such as the game 'Imagine Ballet Dancer' this is fine in the English speaking territories, that doesn't translate properly over to Japanese though so it becomes 'Princess Ballerina', the publisher feels the name now has completely different connotations and they start making radical changes, not just to the box/cover art but sometimes the entire game.
