Ubisoft making a return to Steam with Assassin's Creed Valhalla on December 6th

Quoting: CorbenNo we dislike them for coming back and bringing their launcher with it... causing launcher-ception!
You usually can skip them though. It can be annoying, but it's not as annoying as buying a game on their launcher.

Thousands of years later, The Bible has arrived on Steam

Nice! I would be glad if we could also have the Qur'an on Steam, as well as other religious texts. Heck, that might be the cleanest and nicest way to get some religious texts, especially as their mobile version tended to be rather ads-ridden.

Godot Engine 4.0 gets a Movie Maker

Quoting: GuestThe github page shows over 5k open issues.
Is that really THAT bad? Proton has around ~3.5k open issues. Godot, which I'd imagine is more complicated and has to deal with multiple platform, has ~5k, which isn't even broken down between feature request, small issues, critical issues, duplicate issues, and a few people just asking support.

I don't think Github issues tells a story about a project's bugginess, other than that a project has enough eyes and contributors to have ~5k issue. In which case, yeah, Godot is a big project now, it has a lot of eyes, and a lot of people participating in the project's development.

Microsoft upgraded Xbox Cloud Gaming for Linux and ChromeOS (so Steam Deck too!)

What about Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, and Chromium as well as Ungoogled-Chromium? Everyone has their own preferences, and while I think it should work correctly on all of them, a few like Brave might have problems with its default or Ungoogled-Chromium might be missing some component to make it works.

Can't test it myself because I don't have a subscription, but it'd be interesting to know if there's any variation in these other browsers.

Heroic Games Launcher 2.5 Beta adds Download Manager, external game / launcher installs

Every game client on Linux is Lutris now.

Which is fine I guess. Besides, you can always just use BoilR to centralize everything on Steam anyways.

Valve finally clears up Steam game release dates, also adjusts pricing

The price suggestion increase is going to be painful, but IF publisher comes to trust it, then it can be a net positive for my region where some publishers just really fucks me with their pricing.

And the release date system change is good -- I love month represented as letters, so much clearer than "01/02/2022" which could be Jan 02 or 01 Feb. I don't particularly care for the humorous dates either -- just give me clear information and leave your jokes in the game.

Persona 5 Royal is a great Steam Deck experience

Huh. No video playback issues? That was the main problem with Persona 4 Golden I hear.

Valve makes Steam Deck custom boot screens easier (updated)
5 Oct 2022 at 2:39 pm UTC Likes: 3

Well, I can see why Valve employee wouldn't choose Gnome. This is a proof that they really like customization, and Gnome's arm-length approach to customization likely alienate them.

The recent KDE talk says that their choice for KDE was very much because of the preferences of the people developing Steam Deck and nothing says that they prefer customization than officially adopting boot screen customization.

It's very nice too - boot is one of those things I'm too afraid to touch, because I just don't want to deal with the hassle of fixing grub. I'm really hoping that official SteamOS release is out soon.

KDE devs talk Steam Deck and their work for it at Akademy 2022, over a million shipped
4 Oct 2022 at 6:02 am UTC

I watched the whole talk, and I don't think it's a million shipped? I think it's a million ordered, but they're still getting more. Not entirely sure, but I'm doubt Valve would get to a million shipped without a massive celebration post.

Various BioShock games get a 2K Launcher calling it a 'Quality of Life Update'

Oh, this is just like the Civilization VI situation. Well, thankfully it can still be skipped just like with Civ VI, so that's nice.
