Think you have what it takes?
Nope. (And therefore never even tried.)
Dust off your game dev environment with the Linux Game Jam 2023

Quoting: spacemonkeyHoping someday Unity + Visual Studio Code just works on Linux. Game Dev is what is keeping me on Windows.
VSCode should run all fine as far as I know?!? (Though personally I hate it! :D )
Valve moves ELDEN RING back to Proton 7 as it has issues with newer Proton

Quoting: itscalledrealityFWIW (nothing) I always use ProtonDB and never find Valve’s SteamDB really helpful at all.
SteamDB isn't by Valve either though. See bottom line of main menu there.
What are you checking out in Steam Puzzle Fest 2023?

Not very 2D though. ;)

I had no idea. Thanks for pointing out!

Quoting: pb> As a Linux user I am sure you understand the challenges of the Windows ecosystem.

Am I ignorant or does that sentence make no sense?
I take it as "You're probably Linux user because Windows is... suboptimal." Which is fun to read, but not fun enough to make Linux users wanting to play the game happy.
Valve improving Mesa graphics drivers on Linux for a "secret" game (update: Jedi Survivor)

Perhaps finally Half-Life 3 (yeah likely not but I can dream).
HL3 couldn't be anything but disappointing. In The Valley Of Gods is what I'm dreaming of. Of course that probably wouldn't need aggressive driver performance optimisations.
I fear they've just been assimilated. Has there anything on Twitter or the like about the game?
Stardew Valley set for another update in v1.6

Quoting: mamillerStardew valley is the game that almost made me fail school. I was skipping so much classes.
10/10 :heart:
I wanted to ask if I should get this for my little ones. I note a no from you, then!
The Last of Us has more Steam Deck improvements and lots of other fixes

Quoting: EikeModern games are usually GPU or CPU limited on a given system
Can you have good frame timing if you hit the limit on the GPU/CPU?
Yes, it can hit the limit at 133 Hz - or at 22...

Quoting: EikeIf there's enough useful stuff to compute, it should take 100% CPU.
Correct me if I'm wrong. My take is: If the frame rate is locked, there is a high probability that it should be < 100% load.
If the frame rate is locked to a value that your CPU can do without stress, yes, your right.

Modern games are usually GPU or CPU limited on a given system - or the system is strong enough on both ends to cope with what's asked for. But if it's CPU limited, CPU should be used 100%, if it's GPU limited the GPU. (Ideally. Especially for GPUs, 100% usage of all those different parts is probably hard to reach.)
