I'm not sure how many people have this issue but for me game recording hasn't been working since months ago, only recording a few frames then freezing the image.

I'm not sure if Valve is even aware of that or if it's my configuration but it seems a lot of people have that problem, not just me

I checked and I have full working two hour recording. I checked few discussions and they seem to mention Flatpack. Didn't dig down very deep though.

Bit of a random comment, but there used to be a game in the mid-90's called "Fury of the Furries" - it was an excellent side-scrolling, physics-based platformer in which you controlled four different "furries" each with unique capabilities. Aaaaanyway, the music in that game was all chill and pan-pipey and the opening music in the trailer for TCHDC really, really reminded me of that game. Cos that's how my brain works.

Happy to send a few bucks your way. This is a great site. 😎

Just played the demo, and jfc that's a lot of tutorials. None of them are too onerous, but it's a hell of an info dump taken together.

Pretty fun overall though. Combat takes some reflex, which is unusual, but navigating the traps and stuff is a good time. Jokes about programmers and being a game take me out of the headspace as usual, but thankfully they don't hammer those jokes and keep the flow going.

Game Recording
Improved performance when recording is on for some games using Vulkan rendering

This was my main gripe so far. I just have played for 30 Minutes and did switch to the desktop after a few minutes, but with proper controls pre-configured, this could be a good game. I especially like the soundscape so far, i´ve got the vibes of Brigador (Soundtrack from Makeup and Vanity Set) or LORN. Nice.

I would play the latest Battlefield if I could, but I can't. The end result is I haven't played EA games in years.

I'm interested in what happens due to this, but I don't fear losing anything not already lost.

How good it is with gamepad?

Wait for OMW v0.50, there will be a huge uprade of gamepad support. As I understood, you will not need a mouse anymore.

Well ... the last game I bought from EA was BioWare's Dragon Age: Origins. So, I guess the deal got sealed for me a long time ago.

@rapchee

... is there anyone on windows 10 following this site? gaming on linux?

There are a number of us on this site that (willingly or unwillingly) dual boot for numerous reasons, so, yes, we would be interested in knowing this information.

Besides, the only gatekeeper for what news is appropriate for this site is Liam. It's his site, after all.

Next Nintendon't lawsuit coming?

The client itself is still 32 bit, they're pulling support because of dependencies, not the client itself. Why they haven't resolved this though, I don't know. The MacOS version is already 64 bit.

Happy birthday to them! I do try buying stuff from GOG over Steam unless there's some wild 75-90% off.. lol

I've got a few things in the cart and I'm just waiting for my Privacy.com account to notice that my pay cheque cleared in my bank account so I can spend money. 🤑


It's so weird to me. You'd think everything GOG stands for would be exactly everything GNU+Linux stands for and they'd be all about GNU+Linux...
The fact that they're so indifferent hurts my head.

It's both wonderful and sad that basically one person, with contributions from others, made a launcher that handles GOG installs. 🧐

Is it safe yet to start dunking on Apple people for representing a vanishing 1.~% gaming marketshare?

Mac is at about the same level as non-Deck desktop Linux, so not yet.

It would be better if both Linux & Mac were above, say, 5%, too encourage multiplatform development, but Apple gonna Apple.

@eggrole I got caught by the linux-firmware package change. I made a mistake in transition and thought I bricked my GPU when firmware was missing.

Ooo exciting! I play Siralim Ultimate and Temtem sometimes. Maybe I'll grab this in the future.

I'm digging the art on this. Reminds me much of.. well, you know. 😉

This comment section is hilarious. Anyone acting like this move is what seals the deal for them for buying games from this company...
Really? THIS is the final straw? As if EA wasn't already one of the worst companies? As if it wasn't already endlessly apparent that they're greedy af and don't give a rat's bottom about any of their customers or employees?

I have no plans for that, as then I have to deal with quite a large admin headache when it comes to VAT taxes as a digital service. Patreon handles all of that for us. The website is 99% just me for everything, it would eat away even more time.

I’m simply too busy already, especially when the UK tax system is also changing soon. Too many things. Patreon has always worked well for us :)

It’s industry news, which we cover a lot and just so happens to be a main Steam update.

Who is this for? I assume Amazon is trying to get that Apple Arcade money. I know plenty of iphone users that throw away money every month on that service but don't even use it, and plenty more that do use and like what they pay for.

Game streaming is a solved technology. I played the entirety of Assassin's Creed Odyssey through project stream in 2018, it's a good experience for people without gaming PCs!(30mbps cable internet at the time)
And Xbox's cloud whatever-they-call-it is even better(I think it's using Mixer's FTL protocol), I played Fortnite on it last year over wifi.

I know this isn't an attractive service for the typical reader here, but normies don't know Luna exists and should probably give it a try.

It would be nice to get the Gameboy Advanced Version too, i loved the back story for that.

I found a few unity (or maybe unreal) linux native games that don't launch. Probably unrelated to this patch.

 
malloc(): invalid size (unsorted)

Is always in Steam's stdout.

This is one of those games that on paper I love following, and reading about, and watching videos about, but just could never get into due to complexity. But I absolutely love that it exists and people play it!

I was like you but I did end up trying the game (for almost 100 hours).
The depth is incredible but to be honest it's not playable by my standard because of all of the bugs and horrible UX.
It's pretty much accepted that you can only play with DFHack, just to fix some of the bugs (wildlife stops spawning, NPCs getting lost,...) and missing features (lack of search in the work orders or any kind of management, clothing/equipment management,...)

64-bit OS can run 32-bit app, but 32-bit OS cannot run 64-bit app.

It seems that Valve is no longer supporting Steam running in 32-bit OS.

That doesn't mean they are not supporting Steam running 32-bit app or running 32-bit Steam (or 64-bit Steam running 32-bit libraries maybe?) in 64-bit OS.

I run 64-bit Linux which can run 32-bit apps in multiarch mode.

Liam I know you're probably sick and tired of hearing this, so it's the last time I'll ever mention it, (and sorry in advance please forgive me lol)

I really do think you're leaving money on the table by not having a subscription option built into the site itself. People may not have a patreon account, or an account on any of the other options as well. The friction of having to go to another site, and sign up there and input payment details and connect to here is nothing to dismiss.

I know it'd be more work for you, but I feel like it'd generate a lot more income and the extra work would be worth it. You could do all the different levels bronze silver gold (whatever) and have them have different prices and different rewards, etc.

That's it! I've said my piece. I'll never bring it up again.

If you all feel the same, I do recommend that you check of Caves of Qud... It's got a normal "rpg save mode" option that basically disables the roguelike nature of things (I wouldn't have played without this option) - and it's REALLY fun in Caves of Qud to just run around doing crazy shit having no effing clue what you're doing. Sometimes it's the funniest game on earth BECAUSE you have no idea what you're doing and OOPS morph into a sentient brick wall or some crazy shit. LOL. I've played a ton of Qud and I feel like I have a low level understanding of the base systems, but nowhere near even a medium understanding of all the insane combinations, but still have an absolute blast playing it.

From all I've seen / read / watched from DF, I feel like it'd be a little bit the opposite. I feel like I'd be VERY frustrated in that game running around having no idea what I'm doing, with all my little people dying from lava flows, or drowning, or whatever.
