Get loads of Resident Evil in the latest Humble Bundle

Quoting: Liam Dawe
Quoting: LinasI wonder how can a game be Deck Verified and ProtonDB Silver at the same time? Like one of those are way off, and I would trust ProtonDB more at this point.
The Deck is a standard set piece of hardware and software, ProtonDB covers thousands of possible combinations of hardware and software.
Yes, that is a factor. But would there be any reason for something like video playback to work on the Deck, but not on regular Proton? Does Valve have any proprietary plugins that are not available on the desktop?

Some Steam Decks ship with an x2 SSD instead of an x4 SSD

Quoting: Avehicle7887I see a similar thing in Dell laptops, different PCIe speeds and even different brands.
At work we use Alienware laptops basically as portable servers to take with you in the field. People started noticing that some of them perform better than others, and once we looked more closely, we found at least 4 different SSD models by 3 different manufacturers, even though it was supposed to be the same model.

The open source project must be used by Microsoft.
What part of GNOME is used by Microsoft? Honest question.

Techland ends support for Dying Light, 7 years after release

I was wondering if it makes sense to buy all those weapon / costume bundles? Do they make any difference in the single player campaign?

Oh damn, this looks just like how I saw the classic TMNT games on the NES in my imagination.

SCS put the Heart of Russia DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 on hold for now

Quoting: BumadarBut I honestly feel that what the west is doing now towards the Russian people is so very very flawed. ...cutting the normal Russian off from everything is only pushing them more into the corner we don't want them to be.
The problem is how do you define where to draw the line? All those soldiers, generals, politicians, they are fathers, brothers, husbands, sons, friends to someone. To normal Russians, as you put it. Is a wife at fault if her husband goes to another country to rape and plunder? What about all those kindergarten teachers who proudly dress kids up in military uniforms? This is not happening in a vacuum, and everything and everyone are connected in one way or another.

An actual president would care about the welfare of his people. Unfortunately we all know that Putin does not. But not doing anything is not an option either, because neutrality only benefits the aggressor.

In the end we are measuring hundreds of thousands killed against not being able to buy a DLC for a game. If opposing this mindless war inconveniences a few innocent Russians, then be it.

Block Quake is basically Quake made into LEGO

Quoting: LinuxerUmm what is a .pak file? I see that for a download at itch. Do i just run that? :huh:
It's a data file for the Quake engine, sort of like a plugin. You'd have to copy that into your existing Quake installation.

As much as I enjoy LEGO as a product, LEGO as a company is quite litigious, and not always welcoming to fan projects like this. Anyway, this looks awesome.

Introversion classic Darwinia gets remastered with better Steam Deck support

Oh, I remember messing around with Darwinia back in the day. Couldn't figure out what was happening, or what I was supposed to do? :dizzy:
