Lies of P recently removed Denuvo and it's on sale - good time for soulslike fans

Quoting: theailerEasier than Jedi Fallen Order, at least that's my experience.

Because even if I like Dark Souls world, exploration and storytelling, I can't "gitgud" enough for that kind of games. I finished Jedi Fallen order on lower difficulty, though.

Thanks!

This game always picked my curiosity, but being a Soulslike gets me cautious... Darksouls like or Jedi Fallen Order like, difficulty wise?

World of Goo 2 launches in May on the Epic Store - but Linux support from their website

Quoting: pleasereadthemanual
Quoting: dvdI find it weird that people find it weird that a company supports our platform of choice. I wish more devs had an option to bypass the bullshit stores. Why is it so necessary to put the game on these stores?
Because Proton, which is only usable by most people on Steam, provides a better experience in most cases than a native Linux version.

That's not necessarily my experience, although I recently had to install old libraries to get Loop Hero from GOG to work again, but a lot of Linux users do say as much. I also had to manually patch a library for another native Linux game from Itch. And delete some old bundled libraries for a Ren'Py game from Itch...

But I do support devs releasing their games wherever they want. It's just, supporting Linux natively long-term, even with open source engines, seems far more challenging than other platforms.

In my case, it's because I own a Steam Deck. So, Steam is convenient and I think I'm getting too old and lazy, nothing more.

As I did with every other Epic exclusives, I'll wait for the Steam release and then decide.

This strategy saved me from buying bad games, a couple of times.

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 adding EA AntiCheat, breaking it on Steam Deck / Linux

Quoting: PenglingSony/BMG then unironically went on to infringe on the copyrights of various GPL'ed projects and then used pirated software within the company, with as much as 47% of what they were using at the time believed to have been pirated.

Ever notice how those who fuss the loudest usually end up being guilty of what they are fussing about?

Yup! Because they are doing it, they assume everybody is doing the same. Kind of a way to normalize their behaviour?

Forgot about that... I should have held back from buying Jedi Survivor.

Will it suffer the same fate?

Orange Pi Neo gaming handheld to come with Manjaro Linux

Quoting: gaboverstaIf I was a decision maker I would not ship manjaro. A distro that $equires enduse$s to read the release notes will not go down well with people jslust buying a handheld.
But having trackpads is an excellent choice. This device looks like it solves th$ee of the reasons why I have not bought any steam deck competitors: No windows, yes Trackpads.
Should they now arrange for me suddenly not having a steam deck there will be questions.

You are right, but OrangePi, like RaspberryPi, are not targeting the masses. Those are thinkerers oriented companies. Manjaro is a good fit with this mindset, but is a handheld a good hardware platform for thinkerers? I'm not sure, but we will see...

Ooooh... Nice! This one picks my interest. Let's wait and see the reviews, but the hardware side is pretty interesting. It's possible to install gamescope and gamescope-session on Manjaro. Not a bad choice.

SteamOS-like ChimeraOS 45 released with HDR & controller support for many more handhelds

ChimeraOS is pretty awesome. The maintainer is doing a top notch job; I tried it from time to time, but unfortunately I couldn't find a convenient way to configure the Dolphin emulator. That's the main reason why I stick to Holoiso on my "couch gaming pc" (Emudeck and Steam Rom Manager supported). That's the way I like it.
