The ridiculous Killer Bean is getting a third-person shooter video game

Graphics in the game actually looks better than the movie. They could just machinima the whole thing in the game engine for a remaster!

Also, didn't watch the movie, but if the soundtrack doesn't include a parody of a certain Queen song I would be so disappointed:

"He's a Killer Bean
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?"

No exposure to Microsoft code or reverse-engineering of Microsoft software
Hey, I meet one of the requirements! Wonder if they're interested in an unpaid intern?

Steam Play Proton 6.3-6 is out now with lots of fixes and new game support

Quoting: TcheyOne game i really want to play, "Ultimate Space Commando", still doesn’t launch at all, with all Proton and EG versions i tried, and command lines.

One day, maybe, one day...
I can't find any bugs filed about that game. Consider filing one [External Link] if you have time.

The original Quake got a new enhanced edition, Steam Play tool Luxtorpeda updated for it

Quoting: gbudnyThe low sales of Quake 3 for Linux were the main reason that Loki was closed.
The whole thing was somewhat of a clusterfudge as I recall.

Loki decided to sell the native version in an exclusive metal box. Far more expensive than the Windows version. Meanwhile id published Linux binaries to download.

Most people where to excited to wait for the Linux version, simply bought the Windows version and called it a day.

Or how long after new exploits can be found. It did take 22 years to find meltdown...

Quoting: DeadCodeThe poor can have lots of cores. I got a Ryzen 2700 for my gaming box for for $150. I've seen Ryzen 1700's for a $120 on ebay. So the poor are not limited in cores.
Wait, even the poor have eight cores now? What does that make me? Destitute? *cries in quadcore* :cry:

Wine 6.15 is out seeing more PE library conversions, work for the GDI syscall interface

From looking at the bug report for Final Fantasy [External Link] it looks like the devs could use some help cleaning out older bug reports for the game. An easy task if you want to help out.

...or we could just create a GoFundMe to hire a hitman to target the kind of people who decide to create game launchers requiring not only a browser component, but also uses ActiveX. 🤮

Proton GE sees another new release pulling in lots of fixes

Quoting: TheSHEEEPProton-GE has to be one of the most wildly unreliable pieces of software that I use regularly anyway.

If/How it works changes radically for me per game. Some games won't work with it at all that work just fine with normal Proton, some games work, but with abysmal performance compared to normal Proton.
Or the other way around.
Or anything in-between.
This must be expected. There's a reason all those patches haven't been mainlined yet.

Yay zebras!

I'm very glad about the road markers fix. Those buggers had a tendency to find themselves stuck in the wheel wells of some cars, leading to rally car pole vaulting...
