On this page: How to find Tin in Valheim How to mine Tin What is Tin used for?

You can find Tin Ore deposits on the shore in the Black Forest - one of the major biomes covering the Valheim map....
There are ways to jack in without using SteamVR, but still. Ain’t that a kick in the teeth. Here’s Valve’s little statement. To access the legacy builds you can “opt into a branch by right-clicking on SteamVR in Steam, and selecting Properties… -> Betas.” You can also use Boot Camp to load into Windows, but that is a faff and a shame. SteamVR is Valve’s software for running VR games....
Even though it launched 15 years ago, Team Fortress 2 is still one of the most played games on Steam. While it’s still got nothing on Valve’s perennially popular CS:GO and Dota 2, it has a higher active player count at time of writing than current darling V Rising, which just sold more than a million copies in a week. But the people frustrated with the bots flooding TF2 say the issue has gone on for two years, and repeated attempts to get Valve to listen have failed....
In another interview with IGN, three Steam Deck designers sit down to talk about how the Steam Deck was a puzzle that required solving both hardware and software issues. On the hardware side, they felt that it’s only been recently that a handheld device like the Deck could really be expected to play the newest games on their intended settings. Even with handheld-size tech sorted, software has been a sticking point for their hardware plans in the past....
For this week’s Mystery Steam Reviews both myself and Matthew had to choose three games that are spinoffs. I feel like this isn’t something that needs any further explanation. You’re very clever; you know what a spinoff is. If you’re new around these parts, you can see a full breakdown of the rules in the Mystery Steam Reviews Rule Bible™ below. Also, remember to boast about getting all six right in the comments....
I thought Voidtrain might be relatively new, but it’s actually been knocking around for a couple of years. It’s been in early access on the Epic Games Store since 2021, and after announcing a Steam release for October 2022, the game got indefinitely delayed. Voidtrain’s Steam page currently has a vague release date of sometime in 2023, but the demo is a good reason enough to check it out while the team is still tightening some loose screws....
Instead, Waffle presents you with a grid of five intersecting words with all of the letters already present. Most of the letters are jumbled up, and it’s up to you to identify the correct words and spell them out by swapping the letters with each other using as few moves as possible. It works. I’m hooked. You can play it in your browser here. As with Wordle, the challenge is not necessarily in finding the solution....
This is what Warren calls “shared authorship” – something that’ll make immediate sense to those who’ve played tabletop roleplaying games where the general shape of a story might be planned out by a Dungeon Master, but the details are left up to players who often improvise or go off script. “It’s about giving players the freedom to decide how to interact with the challenges the developer confronts them with.” For example, in any given Deus Ex level, the beginning and end are often meticulously planned out, but the middle sections – how the player arrives at their goal – are given over to them....

I would like the play The Sims with all its dozens of expansions and content packs, but I’ll never buy them. If I could pay a monthly fee for access to the lot? I’d have a go. EA do have The Sims 4 on their subscription service, EA Play, but not with all the goodies. So, whatever. What about you, reader dear? Physical, digital, access, bonuses, social opportunities… whatever you want, what is?...
Boss battles as skill checks Boss battles can take many forms, from the obvious ‘murder a giant man’ through to other genres with particularly challenging and striking puzzles or tricky conversations. Some boss battles are giant spectacles which wow you with cool stuff but their challenge is quite different to how the rest of the game plays (why so many switches?). My favourite boss battles are skill checks, a brash and flashy challenge which is covertly making sure I’ve really learned how a game works before opening the rest of the game up to me....
To find out, I’ve tested the game with every VR headset I’ve been able to lay my hands on: the Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift S, the HTC Vive Cosmos, HTC Vive Cosmos Elite, and, of course, the Valve Index. Below, I’ve put them all head to head (or should that be headset to headset?) to find out which one offers the absolute bestest best Half-Life: Alyx experience, rating them all for comfort, visual fidelity and how easy they are to use and play the game with....
In short, DirectX 12 Ultimate should make it a lot easier for developers to implement advanced graphics features in their upcoming games. Ray tracing (the fancy realistic light and shadow tech so beloved by Nvidia’s RTX cards at the moment) and variable rate shading (the ability to simulate certain chunks of the environment that don’t require so much detail as other parts of a scene to help boost performance) were already part of the original DirectX 12 protocol, but DirectX 12 Ultimate improves on these even further, which I’ll go into in a minute....

My choice of Skeleton Crew for this Halloween’s reading material wasn’t random, as it opens with King’s 1980 novella The Mist. I particularly wanted to revisit this story because, well, in case you can’t tell, I really like video games; and The Mist is one of surprisingly few King stories to have received a video game adaptation. I find this so surprising because sooner or later, any even moderately successful author tends to see their work adapted into other media....
