GOG revives Alpha Protocol along with a Spring Sale

Quoting: Jarmer
Quoting: CyborgZetaI wish it was on Steam. I basically quit buying games from GOG a couple years ago because it was easier just playing games in Steam. Still, I'm glad to see GOG do this, and I'm willing to buy it.
It is much easier in steam, however I have had good success just using Heroic to do all my gog playing. You can just use whatever the most recent GEProton is by default for all games. Not AS easy as steam, but kind of close.

I did end up buying Alpha Protocol on GOG and installing Heroic, and everything does seem to work just fine.

Valve COO on Epic's Tim Sweeney "you mad bro?" when launching the Epic Store

Valve goes out of their way to support Linux, and improve PC gaming as a whole. Sweeney and Epic do not. Actions speak louder than words.

Linux kernel 6.8 is out now with lots of new features
11 Mar 2024 at 8:11 pm UTC

I use an Arc A770. I'd be curious to know if the new Xe driver is enabled by default, or if I'd have to manually enable it.

Yuzu agrees to pay Nintendo $2.4 million and will entirely shut down (Citra for 3DS too)

Stuff like this causes me to further regret my like and admiration for Nintendo growing up. While I already "quit" them back in the mid-2010's, I am disgusted even more by them now. As I do not own a Switch, my words are utterly meaningless, but I will personally never play another Nintendo game again. New or old.

Slow and steady wins the race? I'm okay with that.

The future has arrived - KDE Plasma 6 desktop released
28 Feb 2024 at 2:48 pm UTC Likes: 4

I'm on Kubuntu, so I won't be seeing Plasma 6 until later this year with Kubuntu 24.10 (or 24.04 with Kubuntu Backports). Which is fine by me, as that gives the KDE Team time for a point release or two.

More details on the Manjaro Orange Pi Neo gaming handheld

I haven't heard good things about Manjaro, but this is the most promising Deck alternative I've heard of yet.

Orange Pi Neo gaming handheld to come with Manjaro Linux
7 Feb 2024 at 1:27 am UTC Likes: 1

I'm not a Manjaro fan, but I've heard good things about Orange Pi SBCs.

Plus, unless I'm mistaken, this is the first Deck clone I've seen to actually have trackpads. It baffles me why this isn't more common.

Mesa 24.0 out now with AMD RADV ray-tracing improvements, more NVIDIA NVK improvements
1 Feb 2024 at 10:29 pm UTC Likes: 1

For me, the big deal is Intel Arc getting Vulkan sparse support in the i915 driver.

This should enable my Arc A770 to play games like the Resident Evil 4 remake, and perhaps Palworld.
