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 ;)

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.

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.

Epic Games are killing off a bunch of classics like Unreal Tournament

This is why Offline, P2P and LAN are still important.

Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard hits a bump as FTC seeks to block it
13 Dec 2022 at 9:13 am UTC

More authoritarian measures from The State to BLOCK private acquisition for Intellectual Property?

Yeah dude, THE SAME FTC that has kept frequencies under ban for decades only to AUCTION THEM OFF TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER for BILLIONS recently?

Oh I'm sorry did I break their White Knight Shield of Virtue circle-jerk party?

I'm all for "Fuck Microsoft" but this isn't a win for the little guy -- just another battle of the great houses.

Every regulatory body is captured, corrupted and simply function as tools to make sure the money keeps flowing to "the right places" -- modern mafia.

If only GOG had a FULL Linux API or Client they would look so good right now.

Some people may have mixed feelings about this, but this is a great thing when your work is awesome enough to be used by the big guys.

By making these projects part of the cogs and wheels we secure our future and all silicon leads to LINUX like all roads to ROME.

Steam Deck OS 3.4 Preview adds support for 8BitDo Ultimate Wireless controller dongle
4 Dec 2022 at 7:50 pm UTC

Quoting: emphyGentle reminder that fwupd supports 8bitdo's controllers. Not sure how it would be handled on the steam deck and other systems, but in ubuntu that means you can update their firmware with a simple click, directly from the software centre.

Updating firmware is very much recommended for older 8bitdo controllers, since that solves most problems with disconnecting and unusually high lag over bt.
Come to think of it ive never updated my DS4 from stock. I never had a PS4 so it never happened. I wonder if I can use fwupd with DS4? The input lag has been so terrible over Bluetooth they've (4) been nearly useless to me.
