The Pokémon Company confirm investigation into Palworld
29 Jan 2024 at 6:04 pm UTC

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

The original SteamOS-like Linux distro HoloISO now dead, replaced with immutable version
29 Jan 2024 at 4:51 pm UTC

Quoting: satoridepon
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?

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?

Valve posted asking people to consider using the official Valve .deb package
Please, please, please, please not!
I'm reading nearly every thread in the Steam for Linux forum, and we hear problems from people having used the downloadable deb for over a decade now! People should use what their distribution made of it, adding their dependencies and such. I cannot believe Valve proposes to actually use that!
and if their distribution made is shit?
Then you should not use their distribution. At all.
For Debian, this works all fine though, I tested this several times.
