I literally have no clue. I’m still at work and I just snuck away to post that.
Will leave in a while and I’ll check when home.
All things permitting.

some good deals on steam on XCOM & XCOM2

Wasn’t there some dramatics over the launcher not working? I own both and couldn’t get the 2nd to start last time I tried.
I’ve played XCOM2 recently (3 weeks ago maybe) and all was well with the launcher.
Really enjoy both XCOM and XCOM2 and would recommend. The missions are relatively short and the turn based nature works well for busy lives.
I must have apparently picked it up at the last minute on sale for ~$18, as it’s back to full price by the time I had to write this.
Madden NFL 22 on Steam (steampowered.com)
If you can get it on sale, it’s certainly worth it. As to full price? The major complaints seem to be that it’s a retread of '21 for full price. I haven’t played Madden since Marshall Faulk was on the cover (that’s Madden '03 in case you’re wondering), let along bought a copy. At the time I was working for Acclaim Entertainment and playing Madden and NFL 2K was actually part of my job to see how our product Quarterback Club stacked up (poorly). I’m not in any danger of feeling like I just paid $55 for a roster update.
The latest version has very nice graphics, only the occasional on field oddity of mocap and physics, and in general plays pretty good football. The tutorial mode does a very nice job covering how to control players, offense, defense, etc, and provides a nice basis in general football knowledge to help the neophyte. I will say playing on PC without a controller you are in general going to be better served with the keyboard, which is really odd. It leaves me feeling like it’s 1991 and I’m playing Mike Ditka’s Ultimate football in DOS.
One of the features I appreciate in Madden, is the “Face of the Franchise” which is sort of a narrative “create a player” feature. It’s been fun so far and gives a personal touch to it all. Overall if you’re playing solo on the PC and haven’t bought a version of Madden in a while, I can certainly recommend Madden '22 to scratch your football itch.
Anyone have a recommendation on a controller for PC?

I have a PowerA, similar to this one. Slightly older. I really like it. The sticks are nice and smooth and feels comfortable in the hand.
I’ve had some cheaper Logitech ones in the past, but never again. I’d highly recommend this one. I use it for FIFA/Madden/Wreckfest, Rocket League. And actually MSFS2020. When I was in the beta and before joysticks were properly supported. …

If anybody wants rfactor 2 and doesn’t want to get that bundle, let me know. I have an extra key, as I already own rfactor 2.
In the event that more than one person wants it, I’ll pick randomly on Friday.
