At some point AMD needed to adopt Nvidia's approach and use custom hardware in their GPUs which necessarily would crowd out older card generations.
I'm still hoping my 7900GRE will benefit from FSR4 but even if it doesn't, system-wide AFMF2 and 16gb VRAM is good enough to play most everything for the next decade unless games strictly adopt a technology that requires newer cards.

Wild Blue really does look like Star Fox and that has me excited

Please no early access hell like the other two StarFox-likes...

FAR Changing Tides and its sequel were very good, great on Steam Deck. Short and fun and memorable, shorter than A Short Hike maybe.
Alba of course is excellent, benign, cute, and the main photography feature very well thought out. Classic game.
Pretty good bundle actually.

I disagree, it's not about how the game plays that has Sony's knickers in a twist, it's their assertion that if an average gamer was shown screenshots of both games they may be unable to tell them apart. I have not played HZD and looking at LOM Steam page, it looks an awful lot like HZD. If I didn't already know about HZD I might mistake this game for Sony's.
Not that I really care, however: yet another Far Future Taken Over By Large Robots. I'm playing Stellar Blade and it's basically the same premise: Earth has been taken over by deranged robot alien hybrids. Nier Automata is basically the same thing. HZD introduced more hunting elements. Now LoM is like, the same premise again, even with similar font design.

It's two-fold: online games can be shut down; online games can sell MTX cosmetics to instill FOMO. These random players look way cooler than me with their glowing cosmetics or product tie-ins! Hence why we saw them in Diablo 4.
And if the game is doing great? They can keep milking the micro transactions.

Lossless Scaling's Frame Generation for Linux gets upgraded to the latest v3.1

There's already a DeckyLoader plugin for this, but it seems for now it's a manual plug-in install (not available yet on the plugin store). However this automates the installation of the Linux implementation of LosslessScaling, e.g. the hard part. The plugin provides your command line which you would copy and paste into the launch commands for your game.

NonSteamLaunchers adds real-time Steam shortcuts and teases upcoming Steam integration

This could be nice for getting GOG Galaxy Overlay and tracking working. Heroic Launcher does provide access to GoG cloud saves and some provisional achievement tracking but Galaxy would be strictly better.

Stellar Blade has consumed a lot of time, I'm already at 40 hours played, it's been great and it performs quite well on Deck.
GE-Proton 10-7 out now with fixes for Wuthering Waves, Anno 1800, Wine Wayland

So WuWa might finally work? ProtonDB reports have been getting better but so far installing it directly via Steam only results in failed launch. I'll try this again.
