Probably the best outcome OpenTTD could have hoped for given the circumstances. If this were a certain Japanese company starting with N, OpenTTD would already be facing cease-and-desist letters. Also, Atari monetizing a game that sat abandoned for 25 years while OpenTTD developers maintained it for free? Also, also, In the unlikely event that Transport Tycoon Deluxe becomes profitable, what's to stop Atari from killing off OpenTTD entirely? They now have the leverage and legal cover to do it. This is exactly why communities struggle to preserve abandonware and why we can't have nice things.

Ooooh boy, yeah saw the old Play button turn green last night. Not sure if I'm ready for this emotional rollercoaster just yet but it's ready to go!

Thanks for mentioning this game I had forgotten about it and of course added to the Kickstarter.

Quoting: ToddLI remember back then when I was visiting the SteamDeck Reddit page

How time flies, I did the same and I don't even recall when I stopped. Perhaps it was around the time the subreddit had its mod changed and became like instagram

I found the second part ok, but not great. I too often got the respective generic "I don't understand" answer, even for very reasonable stuff I tried.

You probably still need to install 32bit graphics driver on your host for as long as you want to play 32bit native games. Maybe they could add an option like "Always run the windows version of the game (through Proton) for games which only have a 32bit native version" to be able to really get rid of the need to have to have 32bit libs installed. As (old) 32bit native games won't magically go away any time soon - if ever.

Re-re-enable Bluetooth Wake for Steam Deck LCD

Hopefully that will stay enabled for some time as it's annoying issue if the Steam Deck is connected to TV most of the time.

Quoting: Cyba.Cowboy

Quoting: robvvYikes :-o I play games to get away from photo-realism!

Nah, I think for certain games it would be awesome... For example, if you had a game like The Last of Us or Red Dead Redemption, photo-realism would be great; but for a game like Palworld orHollow Knight, it would make absolutely no sense.

As long as they only use stuff like this where it is relevant it could be good.

The thing you need to be aware of is that photo-realism and realistic are not necessarily the same thing. Take movies for instance (especially those from a time where they still took great pride from art direction). These are filmed, so by definition photo-realistic. However, everything you see on screen from people, lighting, atmosphere to color grading was created with intent. This is not necessarily realistic, but it makes the scene better. This is how it should be and this is also how games should be made. This tech is not benefiting any of that.

Exhibit "A" of where this sort of technology would make absolutely no sense.

Quoting: RevenantDakMost platforms think I'm either 84 or 69. Later this year I'll be either 85 or 69, again. I usually put 1921 or 1956 for my birth year, in a few months I'll be putting 1957 for the year because it's none of anyone's business, and I'm not trying to impersonate a child. What a stupid law.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that does this! 🤣

I was waiting for this for switching my legion go 2. I don’t see brightness fix for it, but I’ll try it nevertheless

Quoting: scaineThis sounds absolutely incredible. If they've genuinely created intra-distro consistency, that's a HUGE win for Linux as a gaming platform. Now, Valve, what are you going to do about that shitty kernel-level-anticheat problem?

Thinking on this somewhat. Perhaps this could be a way towards it. Have everyone run Steam inside a container, Valve can verify nothing in the container has changed. Perhaps this could help towards ensuring a secure environment?

Maybe they should just turn it into a server option ?

(I am not a CS player myself, but I find this kind of "tactical choice" brings an interesting part to gameplay, as mentionned by @ridge)

A truly Yo Dawg moment as Steam running through Steam RT can run games through Steam RT.

Hopefully we can lay down the multilib requirement soon.

Neat!
I can't wait to test that when I'm back from the office :)

Quoting: shadowofwardThe last time i tried gnome i couldn't even make a short cut on the desktop has this been changed?

GNOME's design choice is not having desktop icons at all

That is certainly the default, but there's options. One of them:

GNOME's design choice is not having desktop icons at all, so that isn't going to change any time soon...

Instead users are encouraged to use the dash in activity view for apps and favourites/bookmarks for their files.

I love GNOME and I use it on my main machine, but I understand it can be troublesome to use for some.

Quite fortunately KDE these days is getting really polished too, and I've got to admit, I like them both a lot. If I was a new user I would have a hard time choosing between those two...

I remember back then when I was visiting the SteamDeck Reddit page regularly, there were some people that actually wanted this browser since they were coming from Windows but at the time, the installed failed to work. Now, they can finally rejoice if they're still interested in it...4 years later!

Finally... and they should add random mortar fire or random falling roofs.
The stage should be another active enemy of both sides and not just decoration.

Played through the intro on rx6600 using default (medium) settings and Proton Hotfix.
The game itself ran fine, but in the cutscene/talking part it was freezing for like one second every 15 seconds or so, and then it crashed. And it didn't even save, so I played the whole thing again except I switched from pico upscaling to fsr, it looked exactly the same, but the game was smoother I think and then cutscenes didn't crash but still had some occasional hiccups. Also I actually rebooted before the second run just in case, it seems that in rare cases long uptime with a bunch of suspends in between can hurt gaming on this system

edit: also I had mesa 26.0.2 and 6.18.13 zen kernel
edit2: and by crash I actually also mean complete freeze

I won't monetarily support there products. If they do bring there products back to PC I will buy them, until then, I will wait or watch a video of the entire thing. This has nothing to do with low sales, and the low sales are due to there ports not being the greatest, and despite what they say, it has everything to do with pushing up there console hardware sales and playstation store sales where they don't have to pay steam a cut. Honestly, I hope Steam Machine shows them the error of there ways but until that day the only power we have is to vote with our wallets.

Quoting: HendrinMckayNo, will not touch this with a ten foot pole even though I want to play it. Now that Playstation will no longer being bringing there first person titles to PC I will no longer be purchasing the games they make or publish as a matter of principal.

So the game is out on the pc, it is utterly brilliant (finished it on the ps5) but because future ps5 games might not come to the pc your not buying it. You do understand that if enough people do this they are kind of making the point for Sony because of low sales right? Having massive sales would actually show them the error of their ways.

If you enjoyed the first one then do yourselve (not sony) a favour en enjoy this one :)

After ubuntu removes unity desktop and moved do gnome-shit-shell desktop i used kubuntu and than moved to Manjaro Linux because of stability and performance problems. Im using it for over 7 years or so. im very happy with it. Had zero issues with it. Except some old games hadnt work with wayland so i had to switch x11 for playing them time to time. i feel somethings are not going good on manjaro community and that manifesto tell alot.
Now it seems im gonna hop on Cachy OS which all of my friends already hopped in. after Manjaro splits or so.

Well, I can admit when I'm wrong – [this update post](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1536610/view/512986184073347515?l=english) from the OpenTTD team clarifies that they weren't "pressured" to make these changes by Atari, that they had discussions with Atari ahead of the rerelease, and that Atari is providing some funding support for their server infrastructure as part of the deal. I guess since I already have it on Steam it doesn't technically affect me going forward, though the release of this clarifying post suggests I wasn't the only one to get that misunderstanding from the original.
