Actual Hidden Gems on Steam
I love obscure and overlooked games and want to share a bunch with all of you. Most “hidden gem” threads end up listing titles with thousands of reviews or that got some level of marketing. I aim to mostly avoid that. While you may see a few familiar games here, everything in the list below has under 1500 reviews on Steam...

How to get good at FPS with a controller, coming from a PC gamer?
I have been a PC gamer for the majority of my life. But before that, i was a console player on the NES. But NES mainly had platformers, and no 3d games. So i am not used to movement and camera controls simultaneously at all....

Technical quality of life advice
Once again I go back to the Exiled Lands (Savage Wilds this time, actually), and once again I can’t help editing “…/Conan Exiles/ConanSandbox/Config/DefaultGame.ini” to strip away the opening credits that I can’t really skip otherwise or automatically. Not everyone is bothered by it and the wait time is the same, but...
