"Fix Steam Link freeze for users with AMD video cards ("Error 250")."

Anything that improves AMD GPU support is very welcome. I know on Windows Nvidia is defacto but on Linux AMD is much more comfortable, and Linux Steam VR has been an area in need of some Quality of Life improvements, thou I haven't tried my Index lately since I lent it out.

KOMODO's Steam Deck store is renaming to KOMODO STATION - perhaps ahead of the Steam Frame

The name "KOMODO STATION" reminds me of "OKAMA GAME SPHERE"

Partial Controller Support
* Xbox Controllers

I really need "Full Controller Support" to be happy on a Steam Deck.

There are many games from the 2000s to 2010s I play a lot on Steam Deck, but what they have in common is that they have Full Controller Support.

It puts a dent in the fun when you constantly notice you are playing a game that was never designed for your device -- it makes it impossible to be immersive.

I think Serious Sam could stand to gain a lot of ground and fortify their cult following by giving some some tender loving care and quality updates to their most famous old games.

Plus a few bucks to buy into a franchise pushes sales of later games. People have a tendency to want to collect.

Quoting: "kithop"Cool, one more publisher to add to my ignore list on Steam, never to purchase from, again~
I know the feeling. But seriously, I would really love to have a browser extension or something to help tag or mark content so I don't accidentally buy it.

For example, no I never want to buy anything touching Tencent, what Tencent and Epic Games did to Rocket League was a crime, and for that and many other reasons I am actively interested in boycotting them.

Now do most people know games like Cities Skylines are Tencent? Nope. Even games I may already own, could have foreign spyware in it, everyone already knows EAC is spyware, imagine if they got the kernel level rootkit like they wanted to. Someone will pay to buy your data no matter how absurd.

These days I've taken to containerizing my Linux Gaming PC into it's own hardware, can you trust the binaries? Not interested in the industries lazy mediocre AI slop. The sooner I can filter that out the better.

System Shock 2 (1999) is getting delisted and bundled with the 25th Anniversary Remaster

@R Daneel Olivaw -- "System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster" was released "26 Jun, 2025"

It has:
Full Controller Support
1. Xbox Controllers
2. PlayStation Controllers

Single-player
Online Co-op
LAN Co-op
Family Sharing

The LAN Co-op is a absolute blast (admittedly there was a nasty DC bug that AFAIK is now fixed).
The controller support plays great on Steam Deck and Linux PC on XBONE* Controller.

The price appears to be 12.99 -- I think I paid double that at launch and it was still worth it to me.

I get that if money is tight some people would prefer the old version on sale for 90% off, but in my opinion the new version is wayyyyyy better.

They had to rewrite a ton of the source code which was lost to time AFAIK.

The only thing they could do to make me happier is release the source code someday or submit it to the GOG Game Preservation program. I play at 5k resolution and everything looks great, game runs on Vulkan and there are much more settings like HUD, default Audio is correct for me, keybindings, intuitive Steam Deck menu improvements (for mouse & keeb designed game).

Honestly, if you liked the original I can't see why you wouldn't love the higher res textures & all the amazing improvements.

Memory is fuzzy but looks like the Steam version had Denuvo DRM up until 2021 and then dropped it. Looks like there is also 6 DLC -- does the GOG version include them? Their website is hard to extrapolate & read.

Seems like a great deal, for highly rated games 95% 2013, ,94% 2016, 84% 2018.

Considering how error-free and amazing Proton does, I just wish the WINE-GOG interface was a little less jankie.

Finding workarounds for typically is limited to Steam games due to ProtonDB -- and the fallback Wine AppDB is so ridiculously out of date in comparison ProtonDB. Someone else or ProtonDB may as well cover organizing tips & tricks for those Games and Apps.
