I'd love to see somebody make a MiniDVD ROM jetpack for the Deck and have players post pictures of them playing gamecube discs on Deck.

Fantastic news. I look forward to being able to do accurate color critical work on KDE.
It's a great time to be a professional using Linux in many aspects.

Most people don't upgrade their monitors very often.
And the GPU amount of power necessary to push 4k @ -- 60 hz / 60 FPS -- is surprisingly a lot. Especially when you factor in dips.
A FPS player is going to benefit from higher FPS as well if the refresh rate of their monitor is higher -- say 120hz - 170hz. The difference is HUGE vs 60hz or 30hz.
I don't remember the details but you needed specific HDMI or DP version to have the bandwidth to push anything above 4k @ 60hz -- it starts to get complicated. ( Fuck proprietary royaltee HDMI, DP is the clear FOSS winner )
-- the thing that makes this interesting to me is the compact size and that it uses less power in general, so that means less heat, a great daily use card.

So is this game supposed to be related to "Pharaoh + Cleopatra" ?

If so, that sounds pretty cool, I just wish the Trailer gave some indication as to the gameplay.
And there doesn't seem to be a Community Hub yet so it's really hard to tell what exactly this will be.
Edit: The best I can do is guess based on the tags?

Duke Nukem Forever: Restoration Project got a big upgrade

Duke Nukem Forever is one example of a game where modders taking broad liberties would actually IMPROVE the game.

After poking around on YouTube trying to find the documentary which explains why Duke Nukem Forever got Duke totally wrong I stumbled into Serious Duke 3D
Seems like a rabbit hole worth exploring

I really like these kinds of posts and seeing Modders continue the spirit of memorable franchises which are nearly forgotten.
If it shapes up good, I would love to play.

I guess I should just be glad it's _ NOT _ a 501(c)3 -- where basically hostile takeovers are possible from within and the list of donors is literally the property of the IRS -- and once it gets in their hands who knows -- maybe it makes its way to Microsoft as they are a _ Military Contractor _
I'm not for all this "new age" "feel good" fad stuff -- tried & true is fine -- having a traditional job roles for income is just fine too with hierarchical structure. If you can pull off the "Valve Bee Hive" that's fine too -- just keep all the fad --isms out of my damn free software please.

Have you picked up anything during Steam Sports Fest 2023?

I picked up Session (the skateboard game) (but not at this sale) ... and unfortunately hated it.
It had too strong angsty juvenile vibes and I didn't care for the quality of the modeling or the controls.
I'm open to suggestions for great games, but sports has come across to me as a genre where some content can get away half assing things as there isn't fierce competition.

Just like the RTS from last year -- I was super hyped but then found out there was No Multiplayer.

At first glance I thought this review was about the RTS and not a new FPS.
