News - Aspyr have indefinitely delayed Deus Ex Remastered
By Ardje, 12 Dec 2025 at 10:49 am UTC

I don't mind remasters, just as long as it's clear that it is not going to cost $60 like everything today.

Control Resonant looks great, but I am a bit worried with the change to hack'n slash, hope they can get it right!

News - Over 19,000 games have released on Steam in 2025, with nearly half seeing fewer than 10 reviews

I even just recently had a press release enter the GamingOnLinux mailbox that proudly mentioned the game was "100% AI", which went quickly into the bin.
lmao

The only one that caught my eye was the new Star Wars RPG. I just hope they don't screw it up.

Great compilation! Divinity will probably be very good. I am also excited for 007 First Light and slightly interested in No Law.

The reception from the fans was definitely not good which explains a lot.

Ooooh, GamingOnLinux has emojis now?!

The style was fine. Also, you can just play the original, if you prefer that. Some people just need to complain about everything.

I had some time off a couple of weeks ago, and pulled the trigger on Avowed. Absolutely stunning game - like a cross between Skyrim's open world and interesting characters, and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic's visceral combat. The dodge, block, attack almost feels souls-like at times, and some of the fights are just absolutely immense. Incredibly fun game.

Otherwise, just Path of Exile 2 as usual, but the Abyssal League finished a few days ago, and the new Last Druid expansion launches tonight, with a new league kicking off. Can't wait. PoE2 is incredible, I love it.

By scaine, 12 Dec 2025 at 10:09 am UTC

Hard to get excited about this when not only is our O/S not supported, but the features are largely locked to the underwhelming 9000 series of cards.

It promises a nice direction of travel, but there's just nothing really tangible yet.

Been on a Bitburner binge lately, as well as some Valheim with my kids. Plus the odd Factorio and RimWorld sessions.

And of course my go-to game when I want to play something, but don't know what: Sid Meier's Civilization. The only game that's been installed on all my PCs since I got it in 1992 (thank you DosBox (staging)).

How does FEX work in this instance? is this going to allow you to install Android APK packages and run them like a normal app?

News - KDE's 2025 fundraising has been a huge success

Quoting: chrI haven't donated this year to open-source, since I've been unemployed for almost 2 years and family keeps borrowing from me as well. But I really hope I can give something again next year.
You should only give money if you have the opportunity to do so. There are other ways to give back to the community. Like helping people with support or promoting Linux to friends. You and your family comes first. Let's hope next year turns out better yeah?

The Simpsons: Tapped Out via Project Springfield on my Android phone. EA shut the servers down, but the private server is just as good and has unlimited donuts and money. Mmm... Premium currency. lol

I had to sell my Steam Deck. D:

Wouldn't have known about this fundraiser if it weren't for this post. I just switched from Windows to Bazzite KDE Plasma, then hopped after a few days to Fedora KDE Plasma. It's a wonderful desktop environment, donated to support! Linux with KDE Plasma has been wonderful so far, a night and day difference to when I tried to switch back in college. Don't think I'll ever look back!

I mean, what did you expect? I'm not really surprised. ^^
Fair point.

News - The huge Project Zomboid build 42 finally gets multiplayer just in time for the holidays
By Tethys84, 12 Dec 2025 at 4:59 am UTC

Quoting: ElectricPrismProject Zomboid is a guilty pleasure of a game.

It's a bummer the saves are broken, I wish I had a huge chunk of time to sink into this game, I played 3-5 player and it's a lot of fun.

I accidently woke up an entire concrete building and had to do donuts in reverse for so long to clear the area of the uhm zomboidlings ;P
Why do you consider it an guilty pleasure? I don't see what there could possibly be to feel guilty about.

News - War Thunder is getting infantry combat
By Gerarderloper, 12 Dec 2025 at 3:50 am UTC

I still would not call this game 'predatory' But it is a fricken nightmarish grind fest past tier3!
I think people have bots now grinding accounts up! lol

It's one of those games that asks the question, why work full time grinding in this game when you can grind in real life and earn real money that unlocks even more; in other words, the game becomes less about gameplay at a certain point and more about grinding...

When not on Roblox with my daughter I'm alternating between 'Bye Sweet Carol' and an emulated translation of 'Moon Crystal' (was on Famicom).

It's good and I'd not heard of it prior to playing. Also casually plunking around 'Super Mario 64' with my little girl.

We're having fun and she's always giving me grief for save scumming, insisting I just get good instead.

At least she keeps me honest 😁

So is COSMIC desktop decently different compared to GNOME? because when I see people trying it out I just keep thinking I'm looking at GNOME.

Just started Prey, It's really fun. Definitely gives off *shock vibes, especially SystemShock with some of the odd ball weapons.

I have been playing on the Deck with my TV, but the TV panel is dying. I've been looking casually, but I can't seem to find a non-smart or non-internet connected TV.

Not that I see. I don't see a feature like that in COSMIC Terminal. Loved Guake for that. Saddly had to let it go in favor of a slimmer and lighter apps on my miniPC.

At 700 games, I saw that most games on the store front had the label "in library" and I realized that I just kept buying games for the sake of it. So I talked with my therapist. But he is a gamer too. So now I'm close to 950. πŸ˜‡
