Godot 4.5 beta 1 brings Wayland improvements, shader baking, rendering improvements

Godot switching to SDL3 is such a big move, I'm surprised nobody else is celebrating it. The amount of weird controller mappings I've had to sort through now being fixed, plus the future prospects of motion controls, makes this a huge update for me, especially when every other engine has already switched to SDL.

Now, if only they could improve their Input system.

Stellar Blade works well on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck

It's a shame that the default preset is so blurry, but I'm glad that Steam Decks can now play it! I also recently heard that the developer has been fighting the region block that Sony's been applying to their games.

Wow, a new update for unsupported platforms already! I swear they only said they're supporting the Lenovo Legion Go S. Not that I'm complaining...

Good for them. Glad to see some developers caring about preservation, even against their evil publisher overlords' wishes.
