That picture of Helldivers 2 is pretty sweet -- what's the verdict on that anyways chat?
I've been loving it, playing it nearly every day. It's fun solo, and amazing with a squad of friends. The war is actually constantly changing with different factions pushing harder at any given time helping the game feel dynamic. It helps the devs also seem to care and aren't just trying to milk their audience for money.
I fully agree. It's so much fun. I especially like to role play in the missions and talk patriotic trash over the voice chat.

Harebrained Schemes and Paradox Interactive to split

I had it on my radar but the reviews suggested that the progression was in way that I don't like.

Steam Deck gets a 'Laser Pointer' Gyro mode, plus more desktop and SteamVR work

I so hope that they fix SteamVR for Linux. That is the only reason I still have to dual boot.
My preferred scenario would be a general Steam OS Build. Maybe with 4.0 *fingers crossed*

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty new trailer live, plus big free update coming

I was not hyped for the original release it somehow flew under my radar. But I got it as a gift from my wife.

I really enjoyed it.

I also think that 30€ for an Expension is justified. With motion capturing voice acting and so on.

30€ is just 10€ more than a Diablo 4 skin. 😂

Epic Games' new exclusive deal gives devs 100% for 6 months

As much as I like Valve I think compitition is good.
On the other hand I hope that Epic is working on improvements on their systems. The level of comfort steam provides is hard to beat.

Baldur's Gate 3 on Steam Deck is 'absolutely wild' and aims for 30FPS on Medium

I plan to pick it up at the end of the year. The pile of shame has to shrink first.
Also I want to buy a new PC for that and cities skylines 2.

The best Linux distribution for gaming in 2023
2 Dec 2022 at 6:26 am UTC

Quoting: Liam DaweI won't ever recommend people use something like Nobara. Regardless of who runs it, the point is pointing people towards tiny random distributions that could vanish at any point is not going to help Linux and Linux Gaming in the long run. If I'm going to put my reputation on a recommendation for a distribution, it's going to be one with a long history of support and good backing. Hopefully that makes sense.
Nobara user here. 🙂 I was about to recommend Nobara but your point is absolutely valid. Nevertheless I have to say that my experience with it is very good. I tried Ubuntu and POP.OS with both I had problems with gaming.

Heroic Games Launcher adds GOG Cloud Saves, Epic Overlay support, anti-cheat helpers

Quoting: MrowlMassive thanks to the developer(s) of both Heroic Games Launcher and Lutris.

That said, Valve really needs to find a way to add these features directly in to the Game Mode of Steam OS, itself.
Like, there needs to be a Discover app built directly in to Game Mode, and a way to add non Steam games to your library, via the Game Mode, itself. It's weird, because Steam Big Picture mode already lets you add non-Steam games, but Steam OS 3.0 doesn't have that same feature.
I think that is way at the bottom of their todo list. Valve is a company trying to make money. They sell the Steam Deck at a loss and subsidize it with game sales. Why would they want to support other stores in their own OS.

I got mine today. Well... I am at work and the Deck was delivered meaning I have to wait another ~ five hours to finally get it into my hands.

Can someone explain the different FF7 Remake Versions? I didn't follow it closely and I think I read that there will be multiple parts.
