Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered releases October 31 with the PlayStation Overlay
26 Sep 2024 at 9:04 pm UTC

The original version is what, 80gb? In my experience remasters are around triple in size. So this will be a 200+gb download.
And then unpack it to 250-300gb.

There’s a lot of drama going on for years and years between stenzek and the retroarch leads. Both public and behind the scenes.

If you’ve been part of the emulation scene for a long time then you probably not surprised by this.

The mgba dev has had the same blow ups with the same people.

And also Near.

The best emu devs out there have become frustrated and angry with that projects leads and it always goes to shit.

I have played nothing but Stardew Valley. It’s just so familiar it’s easy to keep going back.

So they’ve customised Silverblue to not be able to play native Linux games?

Feels like a super weird move to remove gaming features that already exist for your gaming OS.

Bazzite Linux gets keyboard-less installation (good for handhelds) and smaller updates
31 Aug 2024 at 8:08 pm UTC

As someone who never used Fedora, I like the ublue project in general.

I had Bazzite on a little 2400g based machine for steam gaming on tv until I got a steam deck. It was good, very good. I had no issues for that use case and everything I wanted from a simple game machine.

But I also want to get Bluefin going on my partners desktop since her PopOs is several years old. I did try to instal that on an old surface go tablet, but the install media keeps being corrupted.

I never really got into Myst back then. But the pixel art is making this one pop.

Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era announced from the developer of Iratus: Lord of the Dead

Do Ubisoft games still require you run uplay? The last one I played was Far Cry 3 and it was such a pain I just ended up running a pirate version that bypassed uplay instead.

Quoting: kftXBetween CrossCode and Sea of Stars, I kinda lost of faith in SNES-inspired indie RPGs.
What’s up with Sea of Stars? I haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but I thought it might be good.

Open Source implementation of GOG Galaxy's Communication Service, Comet sees a first release
12 Jul 2024 at 10:08 am UTC

Quoting: slavezeoMaybe it's just me but I don't like the GOG Galaxy client. The social stuff is a mess and all over the place with all the platforms it supports. Same with games, I don't care that I can play a game on my xbox. I just wanting to see my GoG games on my Linux box. SO I'm not really hurt its not native for linux. I do love heroic though.
Absolutely. I’ve used Galaxy before and it was one of the worst apps I’ve ever seen.
Heroic, Bottles or even Mini Galaxy depending on what you need, are all much better experiences anyway.

90s styled Old School Rally hits Early Access on July 19

Of all these rally games coming along, I really hope at least one takes after the dos era games like Rally Championship, Network Q RAC Rally, etc.

I love Sega Rally as much as the next person, but 10 minutes later when you’ve finished the stage 3 times there’s little left to stay interested.
