No, it's very much tied to Windows. On Linux, you can do Xbox Cloud but not normal game pass.

Very exciting time for Indie titles and Godot. I see a lot of quite well performing titles coming out.

Kind of needed after UE5's continuous use of lumen+nanite disaster games, butchering everyone's PC's

I presume there is still no XBOX GamePass for Linux, or way to get it running under Linux.

For a moment I thought it was outside when the opening scene of Green Ash popped up. (I know it's not a game, but still).

There was a large variety of games running at a large variety of frame rates (likely due to it running on a large variety of computers). It's looking good.

I thought that trailer was quite cool!

I wonder how (if) they're re-imbursing previous purchasers/subscribers??

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?

If they removed it, they didn't do it properly. Error code it throws is 500, which would indicate that the server is trying to do something, but the code crashes. For pages that truly don't exist, it just redirects to the store front page.

Maybe somebody pushed code to production that wasn't ready yet.

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.

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

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?
