No, this is Stardust.

The first handheld to use PlaytronOS is some Web3 thing - the SuiPlay0x1

Quoting: PenglingIt sounds to me to be about as good of an idea as the Barcode Battler.
You keep dunking on it, but I swear it took at least a couple of days before we got bored with my classmate's Barcode Battler. I mean, it was a new gadget and we were nerdy kids in our pre-teens.

Something other than comedy/parody.
You keep suggesting that non-comedy point-and-click adventures are rare or hard to find, and it still doesn't make any sense. I've been playing them since the eighties, and several new ones are released every year.

Lutris v0.5.17 brings critical bug fixes and a new way to run games with Proton
11 April 2024 at 3:27 pm UTC Likes: 4

Looking at recent commits, seems like Lutris will download umu automatically when you first launch a game using Proton, as long as experimental features are enabled in Lutris.

Try launching with `env LUTRIS_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES_ENABLED=1 lutris` and selecting Proton as the runner for one of your Windows games.

XZ tools and libraries compromised with a critical issue

Quoting: nenoroWell back to Gzip or use ZSTD when i compile the kernel then

Does this mean every package ending with tar.xz have risks ?

No, the infection happens when xz itself in installed, not when you open xz files. So the danger is the presence of the compromised version of libxz on your system in combination with the usage of ssh.

oh okay, well i don't use ssh anymore it used to be easy before. Now too many command line to enter before i can finally log in

What do you mean? SSH works the same as ever, and logging in takes a single command. Unless your setup adds extra hurdles I suppose.

Musical logic puzzler Beat 'N' Path has a demo live now

Quoting: CatKillerThe little one (who loves puzzle games, is a drummer, and has released his own music) is having a whale of a time with the demo.
Sounds like he might be old enough to resent being referred to as "the little one". But I suppose that's a parent's prerogative.

System Shock remake is getting a huge patch with big optimizations - great for Steam Deck

Quoting: dziadulewiczPromised Linux port (and a stretch goal) passed in around 1 million IIRC, when?
UE4 Linux ports tend to not perform super well. I feel like proton would just run better anyways, and make it kinda pointless.
Doesn't change the fact that they had it as a stretch goal and that goal was reached. If anyone backed based on that promise, they're entitled to feel disappointed.

Quoting: PhlebiacSomething about the screenshot struck me as off; I finally realized the thumb should be over the ring finger, not the index finger. Or am I the only one whose hands simply don't work that way?
My wife thought it was very funny when she caught me flipping the bird at my screen, but I got curious: Apparently my thumb rests more naturally on the index finger, similar to that shot. I guess some of us have thumbs that are just slightly less opposable.

Space sim X4: Foundations is getting another huge free update with added accessibility

Quoting: Purple Library GuyDoes temporal anti-aliasing smooth out the flow of time? I hadn't noticed time being jerky, but if someone was having that problem I could see it being amazingly useful.
Not really. There are different implementations, but usually TAA just means antialiasing using samples from previous frames (possibly refined by motion vector data). And that doesn't really do anything to improve frame pacing.

Mysterious thriller adventure The Heirloom launches in October - looks quite special

It does look very pretty, but not much like a classic adventure game. At least based on the trailer and the feature list. I'll wait to see a bit more gameplay before I get excited.
