It's been a great ride bros. Here's to 10 more!

Surprisingly BioShock Infinite got an update to fix it launching on Linux
12 Feb 2023 at 7:58 pm UTC

Dang. Now I feel like I have to get through Bioshock 2 before I can restart my Bioshock Infinite play through.

1 Remastered was stupid good, but there was some splicer bug a few hours in that blocked progression they needed to fix before the launcher debacle. I hope they do fix it someday.

Props to the devs behind System Shock 2 and OG System Shock.

Let me know when someone makes a AUR PKGBUILD and I'll give it a spin.

I used to know a original modder of this game way back when. It's always exciting when old games get de-compiled or have new engines with new possibilities.

Adventure puzzler Myst now Steam Deck Verified, will adjust graphics automatically

My friend knew the OG developers of this game. Hearing stories of dark workplaces and ludicrous amounts of coffee was fun.

I really do respect the art-form of puzzle games and games trying to carve a niche from the golden age.

It'll still launch Ubisoft Connect, sadly... Nadeo confirmed it on Twitter [External Link].
Well that was all I need to know. I've been avoiding them since they never did a Linux version, and now that I know they bundle 3rd party launcher spyware crapware -- the turnoff has gone sub-zero.

It's too bad they don't have analysts that actually read these comments otherwise they may be something other than tone-deaf and conscious enough to make products that people actually want.

The more the internet gets threatened and always-on is pushed the more I appreciate GOG, DRM-Free and Offline games with LAN too. I can't even imagine investing hundreds or thousands of hours into something only to have the centralized server shut down.

These are problems that were solved in 1999. It's just the cement brains at the top have the attention span of a gold fish.

System Shock remake due to release in March

March?

Do they super pinky swear no backsies for realzies this time trudat nocap?

One hundred! One hundred!

In all seriousness, while I do love a good hype-choo train ride I think fan expectations are metacritic 98 and their delivery will be duke nukem infinite aka metacritic 65-75.

We are also boned with #3 bigtime by being picked up by CCP tencent so in that regard SS3 besides being canceled is dead to me in the same way EA has the hand of shitazz touch.

I'll pour one out to SS1 devs exceeding my expectations and hope the pandemic curse which even reached Croteam is no problem, but if their ability to manage time is any indicator I am pessimistic at best -- I really wish Valve owned the IP and handed it off to Portal devs as GlaDOS is based on Shodan.

We still need the obligatory 2023 predictions and wish-list!
Someone should make a 2023 LINUX BINGO ;)

Steam Winter Sale 2022 is live now, plus vote for the Steam Awards

Looking @ God of War & the new Warhammer

I saw spiderman was on sale, I'm not much a fan of the franchise I wonder if I would enjoy it anyways? Hmm

This is typically when I buy gift copies of LAN games so its a good time to pick them up.

Honestly considering how dirt cheap Dota skins and parts are I could easily spend a few dollars in that or CSGO and be happy but every day is a sale in marketplace.

Black Mesa has multiplayer that is surprisingly fun.

I'm mostly in for fun friends & family LAN games -- not really sure if any escaped my notice.

Steam with Linux now available in Tesla cars (Beta)

Quoting: jordicoma
Quoting: whizseTurn the windscreen into a monitor. Turn the steering wheel into an input device. Not a bad rig for a driving sim!
And with realistic crashes!
Lol, i know you're kidding -- the car enters into a special locked "gaming" mode. (I think you have to double tap the brake or some combo to unlock)

Having said that, it does feel extremely weird playing racing games with a Tesla wheel.
