I have fallen absolutely in love with this game, I'm so glad with this new update. It really is spell-slinging action and I can't recommend it enough!

Running through dungeons firing off spells looks and feels so good

Quoting: JozuaOoh, if there is a way to load the Steam Buddy tool onto this and easily import GOG games... that would be absolutely amazing.
This is actually everything I wanted as a gaming system. Dockable too!

It is just Linux on there, so I don't see why you couldn't load up anything that works on Linux. I think it might be time for Lutris to get a BPM mode as well.

Yessssss Lutris making a BPM mode would be so awesome!
Also by the looks of it the main interface in SteamOS3 looks pretty slick... I hope they update the Steam client with that BPM eventually too :smile:

Quoting: elmapulunpopular opinion...
they should make their next game... linux exclusive.
otherwise people will keep seeing windows as capable of doing everything linux does, while they dont see linux as capable of doing everything windows do.

it need to be at least temporary exclusive.

It is an unpopular opinion - exclusives are generally horrible, and pretty much anti-Linux - we're the crowd that loves choice and freedom after all. But. BUT. It's extremely frustrating to have Sony (playstation), Microsoft (on their store, and with xboxxonexone, or whatever they're on these days), Nintendo (switch) and Epic... ALL push exclusives, but apparently Valve is meant to be above it all? Really?

I mean, Valve are the good guys, right? So therefore they're "not allowed" to push exclusives? Ever? Even a timed-exclusive?

A part of me actually wants them to play dirty - level the field. But then another part of me remembers when they made a single hat accessory for Team Fortress a Linux exclusive (you had to play TF2 under Linux to unlock it) and... wow. The anger, the vitriol, the sheer hatred over that. An unlockable hat. Jesus. I suspect it actually helped turn diehards away from Linux, rather than towards it.

I'm still torn though. So frustrating to see every other player use every dirty, anti-consumer trick in the book, but Valve are held to a higher standard.

I totally agree with this. It would be great to see Linux exclusives (or, for most people, "Steam Deck exclusives"), but it would also be something bad as in for freedom and choice. I'm torn too.

Woooooo I'm soooo keeeeen for this to land in the default repos; it's so great to see that Wayland will be hardware accelerated on nVidia cards! I'm very excited to switch over to Wayland when I can, without issues, out of the box :happy:

Ooo, I really hope that Lutris 0.5.9 comes with some sort of feature for sorting games under tags - it's the one thing keeping me using GameHub instead (but I still have to use Lutris for some older Windows games that need tweaks to work). Hyped for Lutris 0.5.9!

This looks like quite a fun little game!
Thanks for covering this, I'll definitely be checking out the demo! :wink:

Woah, this is totally awesome! I've been meaning to check out GamerOS for a while now (guess I'll be checking out ChimeraOS now haha) :grin:
You mentioned that the Steam Buddy tool helps to install GOG games and all of that, but what about those Windows-only GOG games that need special tweaks (the older ones, the kind you really can only easily install-and-play using Lutris with its custom install scripts)? It would be great to have out-of-the-box capability for such games.

Woah, a board game I haven't heard about before?
Will definitely have to have a look into this! This digital board game adaption has quite the eye-candy with its steampunk style too!

I've never really seen the benefit of cloud gaming; it's slow, the picture quality is bad, the input lag is massive, it drains internet and there aren't many (or any) configuration capabilities. I guess it kind of makes sense for me - I'm in regional Australia - but I find that it's a waste of time and it makes games less enjoyable.
Good to see Microsoft hopping on board though, it's always good to get new competition in the mix. However, cloud gaming really does seem like something that's only employable by "the big companies" (they're really big projects), and so I feel it will be difficult for an upstart to get into the scene, especially with competition like this. Things like this only slightly concern me, but still do.
