Grim Dawn celebrates 10 years - set for a big free upgrade with a modern scaleable UI and an expansion
27 Feb 2026 at 11:09 am UTC

It's been already 10 years? omg... well, for once it's a well deserved success. Anyone who played Grim Dawn in the last years know how giant it is, how easy it's to be immersed, and how it's the perfect evolution from single player Diablo 3 -specially if you like play on Linux. I should reinstall it again to check the new updates while escaping from the current harsh world...

These are great news, but I wonder why the sudden change

Inspired by the classic DOOM RPG, the Dungeons of DUSK demo is out now

At least the native Linux version, which is the one I tried for already half an hour, has some bugs of game freezing likes (there's a thread on the discussion forum on Steam), however, saving frequently temporarily "fixes" that, and since the devs answered, I would bet they will work on solving the problem.
The game seems very good IMO, some may seem it's a basic CRPG, and it probably is, but it's also _very fun_ if you like turn based combat; there are plenty of secrets (classic NewBlood), the weapons feel good, the difficult balance it's actually really good, with a smooth curve... I only played others CRPG like Vaporum and MarySkelter, and Dungeons of Dusk it's more basic but at least the same fun as those.

Steam Next Fest - February 2026 is live with tons of demos

This are the few demos I liked enough to wishlist the games, of the 4-5 I have tried:
  • Dungeons of DUSK: Very good. Native Linux compatibility, shows it's a "labor of love", smooth CRPG difficult curve. Very good performance.

  • Gambonanza: A turn-based chess roguelike. Very fun, seems too basic at the beginning, the chess-puzzle difficult escalates pretty smoothly. Similar to Balatro with a cool and animated interface, and in the sense you buy very strategic power ups with money earned after each special "mini chess" match.

Not my favorite genre, but it's so good in every aspect, it's so well balanced, we have waited for it for so much time... yes, you already know what game I'm talking about. For me, Silksong made the year in gaming (whatever that means).

Therefore I ask, if even raytracing could have been a fad, why not AI too?

Linux players on Steam hit an all-time high for November 2025

This is very nice to see, even with such lower numbers, the trend is obvious and I have no doubt it will increase more for December, but for the non gaming people, I gotta say, remember WSL 2 it's getting better everyday, and it's already super stable, also I have a feeling MS is getting married with Canonical... my 2 cents.

Valve put up a new Steam Linux Runtime 4.0 with a move towards 64-bit

They removed a lot of libraries... I know, increase in speed, less memory overhaul, etc etc, but I expect many old games not working anymore...
imagine if the library support could be optional for "advanced users", I would like that.

Hello from Fedora KDE
20 Nov 2025 at 10:39 am UTC

I'm glad you ended up using a good distro!, although I am not a fan of Fedora, mostly because of the pkg manager, I respect it a lot and coming from the Red Hat guys, I know it has certain... very refined elements.
But for me the most important thing is that you didn't end up using Ubuntu, that is, modern Ubuntu. Even until Ubuntu 22 I would say things were fine (I use it as my main model for most of my docker servers), but go a LTS version more after that one, and you are beginning to see the crumble ground. It's a shame.

VKD3D-Proton 3.0 brings FSR4 support, shader backend rewrite, lots of bug fixes and performance upgrades

I assume this has nothing to do with DirectX12 Ultimate games, like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, right?
