Quoting: Craggles086Was able to get into many money making endeavours, but rich and starving did not work for too long.
There seems to be a hidden lesson to be learned... ;)

The original SteamOS-like Linux distro HoloISO now dead, replaced with immutable version

Quoting: GuestThat sucks. The only reason I used holoiso is because it's not immutable. I need steamos but be able to actually use it to test my software for steam deck. At least manjaro works on steam deck, even if audio doesn't (because the driver is proprietary, not part of mainline linux). SteamOS being immutable is the absolute worst part of steam deck.
I never used such stuff, but shouldn't an immutable system allow you to have an additional layer on it with your own stuff? If not, well... yes, that'd suck.

The Pokémon Company confirm investigation into Palworld

Quoting: OrkultusNow some Pokemon developers are going to have to sit down and play palworld all the way through just to try and find copywriting somewhere in the game...hahaha.
Well, doesn't sound like the worst job in the world. :D

Quoting: pbI wonder what's keeping Valve from just officially releasing SteamOS for general use.
They answered many times already - it's not ready yet.
Yeah... how many years would that count as an argument?

SteamOS alternative Bazzite v2.2 out now with lots of enhancements

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWhat?! Why would they want that? SteamOS isn't designed to be a general-use PC operating system. Using it that way would require quite a bit of tinkering. If you want an "out of the box" experience on PC, use Mint.
Of course it is. It has everything that 90% of people needs and want on a gaming focused scenario. It is a out of the box experience...
... on Steam Deck.

Beginner-friendly factory sim shapez 2 now has a demo
26 Jan 2024 at 9:24 pm UTC

Quoting: JarmerWow .... it may have finally happened. I may have finally found a factory sim type game that I actually enjoy!!! Whoa. This genre always seemed like something that I would love, but almost every game I try in it always falls into two categories for me: too casual / simple, or the opposite: too complex / insane with the mechanics. I just spent some time in the demo for this game and wow, loving it!!! I love how there are no resources / time, no enemies attacking, no residents dying, etc etc. Just freeform building and optimizing. I love it!
Did you give Infinifactory a try already?

This looks interesting, and I like that it doesn't do constraints, financial or by introducing enemies. Let me buiiild! :)

Team Fortress 2 has a 64bit and Vulkan update for Linux in testing

Not only that, it's also bumping up TF2 to use the newer Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 "Sniper", making it work better on modern Linux distributions.
Isn't making the game more independent of the version of the distribution the Raison d'être of the Linux runtimes?
