I wonder why it's running kernel 6.5 ...? Current stable is 6.8 and even the lts release is at 6.6.

With a Nintendo Switch 2 on the way, I hope Valve make a Steam Deck 2

I'd love it if they never really released a Steam Deck 2 or 3 or whatever, and instead just every year (or every other year maybe?) refreshed the internals / screen and kept calling it Steam Deck. They could do like apple does with computers. They just call it Macbook Pro 15 and then add a year (2024) to the serial number sticker or something like that.

The current design of the shell / controller / etc is perfect for me. Just needs a faster cpu/gpu and for the screen to keep getting better over the years.

Awesome GZDoom shooter Selaco will delist the demo (but you can still get it)

Man I loved this demo. Awesome to see it left up on the archives. More devs should do this! Very excited for this game, but I totally forgot that the May date is just the EARLY ACCESS date and not a release!!! Damn.

we expect to leave Early Access in 2026.
So ....... see you in three years.

Really looking forward to this one! The developers are wonderful. I'm kind of amazed at the amount they did their kickstarter for. It's so small for developing a game!

Playtron is backed by a handful of crypto companies.
That is all you need to know to stay as far away from this as possible.

TUXEDO announce the desktop-replacement Stellaris 17 gen6 notebook

LOL at that size and weight, is it the same as carrying around an ACTUAL SFF desktop/monitor in a bag?

GTA 6 publisher Take-Two reportedly shutting Roll7 and Intercept Games

"It's worth noting at this point that Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, was paid $42.1 million last year, which is more than two-and-a-half times the previous year. So once again, the people at the top are pulling in big numbers while cutting the people doing the work."

This is absolutely disgusting. I know these people have no shame, but I wish I could be dictator of earth for just a few minutes with the sole goal of throwing this person in jail for life in the bottom of a dark pit with lots of other horrible things down there to keep him company.

Quoting: fritzyI stopped in the middle of my original play-through after I was told "Another settlement needs your help" one too many times.

ha! every single modern fallout game is on there. Impressive. Really shows what a good show tie-in will do for you. New Vegas is by far the best of the bunch IMO. Fallout 4 is WAY too much janky base building. Fallout 3 is just simply too old at this point. New Vegas with some mods is the best way you can go these days.
