Spec Ops: The Line gets delisted on Steam - you can still buy it elsewhere for now
30 Jan 2024 at 11:28 am UTC Likes: 1

I remember playing this on my GT 710 years ago a little after the native port came out. Was one of the earlier AAA games I played thanks to the native build. It ran like absolute trash because of my system, but it was incredibly memorable. Gameplay wasn't anything super special, but I still found it pretty fun - but ziplining across the sand-covered Dubai always looked so pretty (even on my rig back then) and the story was so interesting. Also gave me nightmares, but that's besides the point.

Might spin it back up, I imagine my XTX will be able to work a little harder at it haha.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl releases September 5th, 2024

Not absolutely certain there won't be another delay later down the line, but still. I am cautiously excited for this game, and hope it comes out polished and successful. Hopefully they'll be able to make good use of the delayed time and fix it up on the technical side... also hopefully without too much crunching.

2024 - the next Year of the Linux Desktop?

Is there any case/shell compatibility with this? My one is pretty t h i c k so I doubt it'll work. Don't completely trust myself to run around with the deck naked.

Hell Let Loose now works on Linux / Steam Deck

Cool, I can claim this key from the humble choice it was in maybe... a year ago?

Happy to hear though; always wanted to try this game out and as always it's just nice to see more developers add support.

R6Siege is the big one left for me, and I'm not particularly desperate for it. Dead By Daylight and For Honor were both games I played a lot on PS4 and just did away with when I switched back to PC only, but they're both working within the last year so I'm pretty chuffed. Though that said, For Honor was an addiction I'm glad i have not regained.

Humble Choice for November has Prodeus, Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Friends vs Friends

Pretty happy with this selection - Prodeus, Unpacking, and SCP Secret Files have been on my wishlist for a while and the only game I already own on there is Friends vs Friends, and I have a buddy who's been feeling left out on that to give it to so nice all round for me.

Blending GTA with Deus Ex, Streets of Rogue 2 gets a first trailer

Excited for this! Adore the first game - think it's one of the most creative indies I've ever played, and the amount of agency it gives the player is imo unparalleled. Developer is great too.

2024 suddenly seems way too far away!

5 years ago Valve released Proton forever changing Linux gaming

Oh man, can't believe it's been 5 years already
I remember trying to get warframe to work on linux over the course of a few years prior to proton. Always still somewhat broken, and eventually gave up on it to play other games. Now, it's click and play (though the curse of the 1000+ library; I still don't play it!) as are almost all my games.

I used to spend hours on each game to get it to work, and now I feel I am far more tech illiterate than I used to be simply because I have not *needed* to tinker far in depth for any game in the past couple years.

The steam deck too, that as a product is mindblowing to me and I love mine so much.

Excited to see how it carries on moving forwards.

Prism Launcher for Minecraft Java has a nice bug-fix release out

I love this launcher.
It has a dedicated cat button.

Can I ask what that DeckPack is? I've not tried MC on my deck yet, but that would actually be perfect

Tencent to get a majority stake in Dying Light dev Techland
25 Jul 2023 at 10:17 am UTC Likes: 2

Genuinely pretty gutted about this. Techland is one of my favourite game developers, and I hoped to work for them in a couple years. They've been pretty close to my heart with the games they've published and the community they built. But I guess no more. Damn.

I'm beyond sick of these monopolistic practices. Ugh.
