I see a large overlap between that and Lutris.
Not sure if there is enough difference to be worth the effort instead of joining up with the existing projects.

But is there a Majestic Carrot?

HDD prices have gone up so much. I went to refresh and replace some of my 4 and 8TB old ones with 14TB, and was horrified at how expensive 4 and 8 still are compared to when I bought them years ago. It's why I went with Snapraid and mergerfs for my big media array. Can use any mixed sizes and types of disk, parity is confined to specific disks, only disks in use spin up, and if the array fails then I can still read each disk independently so only lose the disks that died. It's great for WORM type setups, doing the overnight sync and able to recover from disk loss if needed. I have had to do that, and it worked perfectly.

If you do get a Poweredge or similar, I recommend putting something like Proxmox on to start with and then out OMV on that. Keep to a very basic config for Proxmox, don't try and learn too much to start with, and then pop OMV on as a VM. That'll let you then be able to add other VMs/containers and nodes to the system later as you learn it. Though OMV can do a little of that as well, so can always just install that directly and get used to the options that provides first.

@tpau they don't actually whitelist keyboards.
They blacklist drivers.
It just happens that some keyboards only work through vulnerable drivers.

I thought everyone hated Civ VII? I've yet to read a single positive review. Granted I don't go looking for them, so maybe I'm just in a bubble here, but I'm still surprised to see it nominated for anything.

GOTY: Digimon Story Time Stranger. Best racing game: Assetto Corsa Rally.

'Video game library manager', huh? Well, we already have Lutris, Heroic, and Steam, but I suppose another one wouldn't hurt. I mean, there's something like half a million desktop environments, so ecosystem fragmentation isn't anything new.

The last and only online game that I enjoyed playing. Can't remember if it was GW1 or GW2, though.

And, of course, there are still no subscription fees.

A feature to be proud of, although I always wondered how they were able to fund the servers.

I'm planning to move to Linux in 2026 after P11 is done, and since Playnite is my personal blocker for the move, I will try to make some Linux version in 2026.

As good a reason as any other to develop a Linux version, I guess. Another convert!

Arc Raiders not being nominated for Best Sound Design feels wrong. The Geoff Awards get weirder every year.

The free expansion pack, entitled Handful of Missions, was released in 1998. A Few Missions More would have made a great title for a follow-up pack.

I have an unopened copy of the Outlaws original music soundtrack on CD, given to me by LucasArts during my days in computer software retail. Not absolutely certain where I put it, though.

Sadly, I've never played the game, as first-person shooters tend to trigger my vertigo.

Playnite on Linux would be great since there's probably going to be more users that move from Windows to Linux that would like to have this program available because of the many features that they use on it.

I was in that boat when I first switched to linux. It was disappointing to not have access to Playnite anymore so this is great news. I'm curious how it'll work with Heroic, it'd be nice if Heroic didn't have to open to launch a game.

So, the dev will create a Linux version because dev wants to switch to Linux? That's a new one.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

I guess the Anni event made the devs finally realize that GW2 isn't the drop-in replacement for GW1 it was meant to be. Both games are great, but they are very different games, appealing to different play-styles, and perhaps different moods. People want to play both games.

I wish all the best for Death Stranding. It is art.

So is there a sequel called "A Few Missions More"?

Ooh! Looking forward to this. Guild Wars 1 was a really great game and plays very differently compared to GW2. Glad they are giving it attention.

Won't be watching as I dislike award shows immensely. I'll check out any game announcement trailers if I find any interesting afterward on youtube.

Thank you so much everyone for all the insight! This is super helpful. So I think I will definitely look at doing the following sometime in 2027 / 2028:

1) steam machine in living room under tv.
2) some form of storage server (dell poweredge or similar) with whatever is at the time the cheapest way to get to around 100 tb worth of wd red nas drives (or similar at the time). And have this running something like OMV.
3) install plex and jellyfin on the steam machine and network connect all the directories from the storage server.

Not sure if I'll continue using the current wd red drives I have or if I will spring for new ones as the current ones will be 7 / 8 yrs old. But new ones are SO EXPENSIVE. It'll be almost $2k to get 100tb worth of those damn things.

Thanks again everyone!

it's so funny, I updated my deck yesterday and went looking for this feature but couldn't find it. Now today here it is! Love these updates :)

Hope it improves, I'm a fan of the original skylines but got disappointed at the whole "made in unreal demo" that turned up just like a skylines 1 + mods looking version

I believe Riot has a history of doing this sort of thing, allowing developers to leave with their IP if things don't work out. Glad for this studio, hope they can make it successful on their own.

On a completely unrelated note... It really is kinda terrifying that so much of the internet relies on Cloudflare not going down. Elune help us if Cloudflare ever does actually get hacked and taken down. 90% of the websites I visit did not work for at least 2 or 3 hours now.

I'm surprised screen off downloads wasn't a day one feature, but I guess better late than never.
