The itch.io winter sale is live for you to stock up on indies

I wish more developers released an Itch.io copy purely for the sake of DRM.

My game of the year 2022 is the Steam Deck
20 Dec 2022 at 6:42 pm UTC

I like my steam deck, but it didn’t really change gaming for me other than a return to bad posture. I am still running budget graphics on my rig, so the transition to a less powerful machine that caps everything at 720p hasn’t really affected me.

My game of the year is probably Atomicrops which didn’t come out this year but did drop some mighty fine DLC.

Quoting: denyasisSOMA was great!
I've never played Amnesia, though... I believe all the hype that it's super scary, and that's scared me off of it, lol
You’ll be glad to know that Amnesia’s spookiness has not aged as well as people remember and the mechanics are similar to Soma on how the enemies work (they chase you a bit).

The best Linux distribution for gaming in 2023

Ubuntu sucks with is snap packages. Sorry new people but choose Arch or Manjaro (which the latter sucks because it’s so heavily Manjaro’d…I run Manjaro).

Agreed more Linux support is welcome especially for a big engine like UE.

Just need that one company that owns Easy Anti-Cheat to support Linux now…who were they again? 🤔

Woot! Will have to pick up eventually. It’s also 20% off today as the last day of the GOG sale.

Heroic Games Launcher for GOG and Epic Games v2.5.0 Beta 3 out now
26 Nov 2022 at 9:18 pm UTC

I’d like to point out that while a single client is nice, the Itch client is an electron app and the Heroic Launcher is an electron app. Very little is gained by including Itch.
