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

just thought I'd belatedly interject to say I think something they could do is expand the DLC to include Ukraine (as best they can under the circumstances), charge a few more bucks, and release it as a "Russia and Ukraine" DLC.

openMW is awesome for us linux folk. unfortunately there are a lot of great mods that aren't compatible with openmw, but if you're looking for a near-vanilla experience then openmw can't be beat.

NVIDIA reveal a list of issues with their driver and Wayland
23 May 2022 at 9:28 am UTC Likes: 2

I wonder if someone could dumb this down a bit; on the driver-side issues things don't actually seem that bad. VDPAU is nice but there are other decoders, and as far as I understand it everyone has issues with screen capture on wayland (sway does, anyway). I don't have VR, and I don't understand the remaining driver-side things.

I imagine the nvidia team is inclined to present their driver as not the stumbling block, insofar as that's possible, and I'm wondering if that's a fair takeaway.

APICO is a very relaxing beekeeping game out now

the inventory UI is pretty clunky even on mouse and kb, I'd be pretty surprised if zomboid caught on with the deck

Bad at Chess? Bring a shotgun in this roguelike spin

Quoting: slaapliedjeDon't play monopoly or chess with family members. They will grow up to be assholes.
Can confirm monopoly with family is a horrible idea. Especially when alcohol is involved.

Path of Exile Sentinel rolls out, controller support works nicely on Steam Deck

Quoting: HohlraumGuessing the various "firing" commands should be mapped to the triggers so you can move, aim and fire all at once. That way when kiting you can back up and fire rather than standing still.
didn't know classes can do this, I played witch XD. Great article and video, looking forward to trying it with my steam controller.

Check out the demo for Space Bandit, a shoot 'em up roguelite with 'annoyingly clever AI'

Quoting: anewsonstrong hotline miami vibes here. I will say that one of the things that is missing in this footage and made hotline miami so fantastic (and that they botched in the sequel) were doors. Doors split up each level into a processions of miniature tactical puzzles and prevented you from getting blasted by offscreen enemies. Doors were great environmental weapons, and also allowed for varying levels of stealth. Let us all take a moment to appreciate all the things doors do.
Yep totally agree and I push this to the extreme in Space Bandit by making all the maps fit on your screen so can never be shot off camera.
I forgot to mention how awesome the sound design is in that trailer... the thudding bass, the squealing metal sound when the action starts, the M1 garand ping, and of course the change in audio when there's a decompression. Really nice work.
