I really need to go to FOSDEM again, it's been a while since I last went. Pre-panini.

Not for me. My mods are already installed. All I have to do is upgrade the game and update the config files with my mod list and game settings then I'm ready to go...!

Of course, if you don't maintain a custom mod list like I do, you could always try the automatic install feature at Modding OpenMW.

I poked around a bit and discovered that the "SteamOS + Linux" category is also broken when viewing independently in a normal web browser.

It does appear to be broken. In the mobile app you get

"Web page not available
The web page at https://store.steampowered.com/linux?snr=1_12_74_ could not be loaded because:

net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE"

["Special Sections" > "SteamOS + Linux"](https://store.steampowered.com/linux?snr=1_12_74_)

Just a blank white screen.

Yet, when selecting "Special Sections" > "MacOS" or others, there are no problems. I think somebody at Valve might have made an oops.

On Crossover I could run latest version of Office 365 compatible with 32 bit Windows 7, afaik that was released sometime in 2022. Installation is surprisingly simple with Crossover. Good luck if you are using anything else, though.

I'm sad to hear this bad news.

Rather late to this, but you got another shoutout Liam.

Sorting by "Steam OS + Linux" just gets me a blank, black page now after the update. And the tile art no longer loads for that category button. Did they just remove it?

Oh man, does this mean I need to book another day off of work to install mods and then fire up the game? I think so right ... ?

Speaking as one of the core team, I can't guarantee that we'll manage to keep quite this rapid a release cadence, but the goal is definitely to stick to releases-per-year instead of years-per-release.

I do wonder how many people gave up on it (as I did) simply due to frustrating difficulty. Are we a minority or a majority? Not sure.

I did give up after a while, somewhere around the point with the "sea" of monsters and the other area with these beasts in cages (the sound kinda like dogs, maybe). These areas were just sooo annoying!

Also there were the pretty frustrating jumping sections where you need to use moving enemies *and* small balloons to get higher up.

I so much wanted to love the game, but there were just too many frustrations in it... I felt Team Cherry expanded the difficulty of the White Palace onto the whole game, and overall it wasn't a pleasant experience and it crossed the line into "unfair" territory for me.

Tbh, all in all, due to the high difficulty, I think Silk Song is my personal disappointment of this years' gaming.

people who wanted to see the ending, but not play through all levels

If you don't want to play through the game, just watch the ending on YouTube?

I loved the original series which I grew up with and *especially* loved the reboot. I've looked at this game so many times over the years on both PC and Playstation but never ended up getting it due to all the mediocre (at best) reviews, regardless of platform. The most common complaint is the repetition required for completing each mission/scenario/whatever. I've read lots of reviews of this game over the years and it just doesn't sound like something I'd like. Now, Scattered Hopes absolutely does sound more my speed. I just really hope they don't frak that one up.

Oh, here's a game that actually could use some of that preserving, GOG.

What's that, best you can do is tree fiddy?

I'm sorry, what? 75€ for the DLC for a game that's about to be de-listed is absolutely bonkers.
Where's my "going out of business" sale?

Not that I necessarily mind but can anyone tell me, is this normal?

It's a standard package management thing that if a version of a package is losing support for whatever reason then having that package will instead pull in a newer version that does have support. You won't normally be moved between branches otherwise.

Ahhh, hardly anyone remembers the original TV show

You are absolutely correct! While i LOVED the Film (i tried to build those ships from cardboard and stuff), the series was awful. But i really jumped when i heard that Ron Moores version had an Adama played by the former boss of Tubbs and Crocket (my favourite Miami Vice character). And hell did he deliver. All of them, which must have been fantastic for Richard Hatch, who fought a long time to give this universe a proper end.

And a return to a quicker release schedule on top.

I had the oddest and quite unexpected thing happen to me with the Nvidia drivers on the previous update. I used the PPA as recommended in Liam's guide to get the 550 series. The last update to my 550 driver automatically installed and shifted me to the 580 driver. Not that I necessarily mind but can anyone tell me, is this normal?

@Leahi84

I saw the original 70s one when I was a kid, but only as re-runs.

I saw the original series during its first run. I think my parents even took me to see the movie at the theatre.

@Purple Library Guy
Sudden axe, in my opinion. For me, the original series was great right until the last episode. The follow-up series, Galactica 1980, in the other hand, was horrible. A lot of people look on that series as the final season of the original. I prefer to ignore it.

As to the reimagined series, it was not made for my generation. I just couldn't get into it. I wanted the shiny cylons that looked like knights wearing armor, not this The Thing borrowed cylon that looked just like any other human being. I never made it past the initial miniseries. But the series was huge with the twenty-somethings that worked for me -- as big as Babylon 5 was for my cohort when I was in my twenties.

@Liam Dawe
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'll probably grab some of the "season 1" DLCs from GOG before Nov. 15th.

I found today that long posts in the activity page are shortened with a link to read more. Love it. There were games I took off my watch list due to too long news postings.

*edit* I don't mind if devs want to talk and show off. I just don't want to scroll a meter to the next game.

Hope they find the issue with wake-on-bluetooth, but also hope they fix the dock problems so I don't have to constantly connect/disconnect the HDMI when turning the Deck on.

Ahhh, hardly anyone remembers the original TV show . . . and deservedly so! After the original movie, which at the time seemed almost as big as the original Star Wars, they did a TV show, which was actually not bad for a while, but sank deeper and deeper in cheese as it went along until I gave up. I don't know how it ended, or if it really ended at all as opposed to getting a sudden axe.

I'm still on it, would like to have more time to play. The difficulty is no big issue for me. It slows my progress but I wouldn't give up because of it.
