Steam Deck, SteamOS will now stop bugging you to install updates multiple times

Valve should fix their "play blockers".

For example, you can't be playing DOTA2 on Desktop while a family member in the room plays World of Goo 2 on your SteamDeck at the same time.

DOTA2 is a Free To Play game, it makes no sense when you are being blocked from playing a Free To Play F2P and another game you bought.

I hope they fix this someday for Quality Of Life QOL.

These are my favorite things about the future.

I never played the old one, but I would definitely play this.

World of Goo 2 gets a rough level editor and Steam Workshop
31 May 2025 at 7:10 pm UTC

The first 1/3 of the game is basically World of Goo 1 which some have criticized as not innovative enough to keep them hooked.

The second 2/3 of the game is innovative with new goos.

The last 3/3 of the game I have been told is insufferably where a completely new art style appears in unskippable scenes where the developer literally appears in what feels like tone deaf harassment.

The level editor sounds cool.

It would be nice if the developer made ALL cut-scenes skippable or a modder did.

It's a decent to good game, but the tone shift in Act 3 of 3 has made people I know IRL rage.

Also the "lets go shopping ... sustainably" in the intro comes off as preachy. It's got at least a wart or two.

How the tables have turned.

Lets see what the shills can "move the goalpost" to to justify their measurably inferior preference.

It's really cool seeing these kinds of devices come out, and the stats are just icing on cake.

Doesn't Dragon Ball Z Kakarot have Denuvo?

I really wish we had a ProtonDB to better identify games with DRM and anti-consumer features like "Always Online".

Steam Deck / SteamOS hits 19,000 games rated Verified and Playable

It wasn't that long ago we were at 10,000 and very soon I'm sure we'll see 20,000.

If you told me this as a Linux user 20 years ago I wouldn't believe we could have come so far so quickly. I was barely playing Counter Strike Source and BroodWar on Ubuntu with Beryl and Compiz.

Denuvo will lock you out of games on Linux, SteamOS, Steam Deck if you keep changing Proton versions

I really should have AI analyze my game library to make sure there is no Denuvo or other DRM rootkits.

Then I can just delete them.

There are so many things to play, and no reason to reward companies who are hostile with consumers.

I wouldn't mind a browser extension that hides these spyware infested games from the Store entirely.

These kinds of PSAs are very welcome.
