Terra Nil gets better performance and Linux support
17 Oct 2023 at 1:28 pm UTC

I also played tons of Terra Nil in beta.
On release I've maybe put in 1 hour. It's playable for free on mobile with a Netflix login and as easily accessible as it is.... have yet to get re-wrapped up in it.

Valve tries to improve Big Picture Mode on Linux for NVIDIA GPUs
18 May 2023 at 4:08 pm UTC

I have a really old Alienware Alpha steam machine that I'm trying to turn back into a console pc with the updated steam front end. Since its got something like a mobile gtx 970 its been quite annoying to uncover all these weird problems. More nvidia fixes is great news!
Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Pop_OS!, and Manjaro with steam auto launching into big picture from startup all had a bunch of issues for me. Batocera was probably the best solution until the steam integration and flatpak broke. I'm trying out Chimera now and it is also weirdly broken!

Better Nvidia drivers is the certainly the solution but I'll be appreciative of all the Valve optimization updates we can get!

UnRailed is great! I loathe crafting and mining in games (see Minecraft), but somehow UnRailed was able to hook me. It strikes a fun balance as it goes from chill to frantic and back again as you progress through each level. Also, its great with friends! When the game is just as good with friends on the couch as it is on steam's remote-play, you know the devs did a good job. (The replay feature is so good too!)

Prepare to see a lot more of Epic Online Services, with Epic's new self-publishing

This sounds like it could be a win for Linux gamers in the future. Or at least a small win for Linux gamers with friends that play on other operating systems. I'm worried that the linux versions of games we could have will end up functionally nerfed like Rocket League.
