Sci-fi adventure Ultrasound will bring a different kind of body horror
8 Sep 2025 at 3:32 pm UTC Likes: 4

Man - "horrors of the ultrasound" is such a real thing. When we had a miscarriage, it was that machine that delivered the news to us by showing a big empty black hole instead of where a baby should have been, like last time. The nurse couldn't say anything at all, so were just there scared to death wondering, knowing. Oof. Everything went fine with the next two pregnancies, so all good now, but yeah, that's not something you forget. Can't believe someone made a game and referenced that concept!! wow!

I've always wondered what it would be like to play as a character with no eyes, ears, nose, mouth ... just a vagina helmet and nothing else. Now ... it's finally happened.

On Deck, I've been loving Quartet. It's SOOOOO good, can't recommend it enough.

The popular Linux distro CachyOS has a big upgrade and some fun stuff for gamers

@shadowofward

I highly recommend to do the following:

CachyOS - OS
Gnome or Plasma - Desktop (you want modern wayland support and they're the best at it and most stable)
BTRFS - File System (you want / need Snapper support for magical rollbacks, plus it's what is recommended by cachy itself)
Limine - Bootloader (native snapper support)

Typing this from my cachy install right now! Loving this distro. So far super smooth sailing. It's blazing fast yes, but also very easy to install and configure and keep up to date.

Although, I thought they recommended to use Octopi to manage packages and updates? Is "cachy-update" different? I'll have to look...

Quartet is a fresh retro-styled RPG out now with Linux and Steam Deck support

Been looking forward to this game for a long time! I think since I did a demo on one of the next fests maybe? SO MUCH FUN! It's perfect for the deck. As soon as I finish up Tainted Grail I'm going to go 100% in on this one.

The Drifter is easily my new favourite point and click adventure

I fired this up recently on the Deck and have been using the sticks, I'll have to give it a go on the pads tonight. Absolutely loving the game so far though!

KDE Plasma 6.5 gains an OEM ready system setup tool and KDE Linux is progressing
25 Aug 2025 at 7:36 pm UTC

I guess KDE Linux is a replacement for Neon?
yeah seems like it. And thus Arch continues on its path of domination.

Bottles devs give more info on their funding from NLnet

Do you all use bottles for anything? I've heard about it for years but I guess just never had a reason to use it. For game launchers and stuff I just use steam "add a game" functionality like Liam has outlined here before. (or try to avoid those games entirely lol)

And other than that I guess I just don't have a need for windows-only software. Everything I use is either linux native or I do productivity stuff on my macbook.

Deep Dish Dungeon looks like a great co-op dungeon crawler

Definitely looks cool, wishlisted, thank you Liam!

I think I have you to blame for my ridiculous wishlist size hahaha. So many good ones!
