This is about the only tower defence game I've actually played. It was fairly good . . . maybe I'll get the DLC.

Quoting: suchYou say "SODIMM" to most people and they'll look at you funny.

Hey! Who are you calling "so dim"?!

Quoting: JarmerI really want to try and like this game, but I had SUCH a horrible technical experience with Dragons Dogma 2 I feel like I can't trust capcom anymore :(

For what it's worth, on my PC that's starting to show it's age, the demo ran flawlessly, whether it's about performances or (lack of) technical issues. I was pleasantly surprised.

But it's always prudent to wait a bit after releases with these.

And again it is being proven to us it is better to wait with buying a mainstream game 🥲

Valve should talk to Sony, if a hacker can do [this (sorry its on X)](https://x.com/theflow0/status/2030011206040256841) imagine what they can do together 😀

Not all that uncommon of a practice. At least some publishers tend to use things like Denuvo for release date protection, and past that for the initial few weeks of sales (which for most games is the majority of sales/the most important). Then they remove it because it's no longer actually needed in a business sense.

There used to be a "non-US" variant of Debian due to crpyto restrictions (decades ago): https://wiki.debian.org/non-US

Quoting: ChromedicHi, new here
In a perfect-Ish world
PS4/PS5 runs on a heavily modified version of FreeBSD OS which is similar but not the same as Linux.
Instead of porting their exclusive games to Windows, why not making the Linux only exclusive. In doing so, Microsoft/Xbox next-gen will not be able to run them.
Am not a developer but since the kernels are similar, wouldn’t porting to Linux be quicker than Windows?
Doing so, they can still put their games on Steam or their own store/launcher

Sony doesn't want to sell games, they want to sell PlayStations and lock customers inside their walled garden.

What is profit from locking someone into their walled garden? Define it and explain how it benefits them. :D

^ agreed, this is a great bundle! Anyone who doesn't have these games should absolutely hop on this.

I've been running cachy since probably middle of last year and it's been a wonderful experience. No problems whatsoever that I can remember. The "octopi" package manager takes a bit of getting used to, but once I was over that, it's been smooth sailing ever since. Highly recommended distro, and getting even better all the time! When Epoch 2 of Cosmic DE comes out, I'll reflash my entire system with cachy cosmic.

Quoting: pete910Is all anti cheat just client side? as in there are no checks or communication from client to sever ?

On games with good security, you have both.

This is actually a really good bundle. I feel silly for getting most of these games already 🙈

Oh wow – didn't see that coming! Guess I'll be playing Defense Grid again! 😀

It's well deserved for such a great game.
And it also didn't need abhorrently heavy pixels that need Frame Gen to run at 60fps just to be a fun game.

At the tail end of 2025 I switched from Arch with Cachy repos to OpenSUSE because I wanted SELinux and Cachy doesn't support it. It was perfectly fine aside from that, though I ran the Zen kernel instead of the Cachy kernel so I don't know whether that makes any difference.

I hope Hooded Horse sticks to this niche as much as possible. Olden Era aside, it's a remarkably curated catalogue. You can tell why all the games (and if you're particularly cynical: yes, even Olden Era) were chosen to be published.

I really liked the demo, and really hope the release isn't borked/full of nasty surprises.

Quoting: Aaron SparksGlad to have konsole back- I didn’t really care for Ptyxis and if I need it it’s still there- what’s odd to me about their recent update is that they said they switched to Kontainers to replace distroshelf but I have found that I needed to install Kontainers myself to get it after the update. 🤷‍♂️

Distroshelf and Kontainer are both flatpaks and not part of the image itself. The installer installs the flatpaks, this which is why it's only on new installations. Flatpaks are 'user-territory' and you can uninstall/install to your hearts' content. On the other hand, Konsole is part of the image which is why everyone will get it.

Quoting: EikeI sure missed an article on GoL, but that one is new to me.
And for me, it's only showing Linux native games, as I prefer!

Oh.. I think you just solved an "issue" I was having that was puzzling me the last few days. Hi had Esoteric Ebb wishlisted, and it did not appear in my personal calendar nor the trending games at start compared to other games launched on the same day, like Scott Pilgrim Ex, for which # of wishlists/sales were lower. Turns out all the other games had Linux versions.

Steam is giving more relevance to games with linux showing up, in both personal calendar and homepage. Thanks for pointing that out!

There's a switch somewhere on Steam to have only Linux versions shown. It sometimes kicks in and sometimes doesn't. Seems it does here?

Quoting: mrdeathjrOpen <path-to-game>\rlmfc.dll in a hex editor.
Go to offset 0x256ED.
Replace 83 E0 0F with 90 90 90.

Replace with NOPs? It is so funny when it works imo

Good thing I don't care what M$ is cooking with Project Helix because there's nothing from Xbox that interests me when it comes to gaming and I'd rather just stick to Linux and Steam Deck gaming since it satisfies my needs nowadays.

Prices going to be crazy.

I do think they should just release the controller already. Start with that at least.

I wonder if there will become a day when I just won't be able to use the internet no more because I refuse to install such a kernel level identification system on my system(s)... Because that is where it seems they want it to go, so everyone is DOXXED online from the start at the OS level.

Quoting: kit89It's a bit weird. When you buy a beer we have age verification at the point of purchase, we don't have age-verification at the point of opening.

Well technically they do in the US since mere possession of a beer (even if unopened) if you are under 21 is a violation (and consumption an offence) there, so yes the bottle itself does not verify your age but that is a mere technical limitation. The second we get "smart bottles" I can assure you that they will implement age verification on those bottles over seas.

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyNope, I checked three different sources, and that would be India... Not where I was expecting, but I knew it wouldn't be America. And apparently it's by a pretty big margin, too.

He might still be right about the USA being "one of the places where linux is used the most".

Yeah the Indian government promotes Linux usage to "ensure digital sovereignty and reduce dependence on foreign software" so many branches of the Indian government (including military and police) use their native distro BOSS.
