I prefer the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMQrV255FlU&t=4s [External Link]

I didn't even know a game with the same name existed over 35 years ago but at least I recognize the name of the musician on the splash screen.

i miss the times when sport games were made for gamers, not for sport fans only
@elmapul
Those were the days when sports games didn't take themselves seriously and it's sad that we don't get a lot of games like NBA Jam anymore.

SILENT HILL f gets rated Steam Deck Playable
8 Apr 2025 at 7:06 pm UTC

Minimum requirement i58400 gtx1070 TI, hopefully I'm wrong but these looks like another 24fps slideshow on the steam deck.
@on_en_a_gros

This is what was posted at the end of the requirements:
Additional Notes: Playing on minimum requirements should enable to play on Performance quality settings in 30 at 720p. SSD is recommended.
This sounds like you'll have to use FSR/XeSS with low/medium settings to get it to run on 30 fps at 720p and the Steam Deck will probably have a bunch of spikes in performance, where it could be 24-30 fps at certain parts of the game.

PC port of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Ship of Harkinian, gets a huge Randomizer upgrade

If Nintendo was to adopt this officially and sell you an official copy of the Rom that you can use with this I'm pretty sure many people will, but no, they think by not providing official support that you'll actually go buy a Wii or something to play this! They are soooo wrong.
@sarmad
This has been their MO for the longest time, where they want you to buy the real hardware and cartridge to play their games instead of emulators and ports. Also, they would rather you pay for their less than stellar ports at full price over projects that can do their games justice.

I'm amazed the lawyer snakes from big ol N haven't attacked this yet. Looks like a cool project though.
@R Daneel Olivaw
I don't think Big N has a case with this port since it's not like they providing the ROM you need to make this work or asking for donations like what happened with Yuzu.

Linux shoots back up the Steam Survey for March 2025 with Simplified Chinese dropping

My guess is CachyOS/Other. You could look into Steam client => help => system information, I'd guess they use the same source there?
@Eike
I did what you mentioned and it turns out that it shows up as CachyOS :smile:

Hollow Knight: Silksong lives and it's releasing in 2025
3 Apr 2025 at 1:25 pm UTC

So will this be a timed exclusive switch2 game? 2025 date is confusing because steam still has no date at all and just says "Planned Release Date: To be announced"
@R Daneel Olivaw
I hope not because with the way Nintendo has been pricing their games for Switch 2, it'd be terrible to have it stuck on a $449 system when it should be available on as many platforms as possible.

Linux shoots back up the Steam Survey for March 2025 with Simplified Chinese dropping
3 Apr 2025 at 12:45 pm UTC

Since I've put together a new PC and installed CachyOS on it, if I ever get a Steam survey and submit it, would that mean the OS is categorized as Arch Linux 64 bit or Other?

The EchoPatch to modernize F.E.A.R. adds in gamepad support
24 Mar 2025 at 2:31 pm UTC

I'll have to give this mod a try since I haven't played F.E.A.R in a long time and never was good with the KB+M when I bought a copy of it a long time ago.

Why does that second screenshot look like Eddie from Iron Maiden?

Discord wants developers to stick it inside their games with a new SDK
18 Mar 2025 at 3:06 pm UTC Likes: 9

Enough with "sticking" these types of SDKs into games because it makes things worse, especially if a service like Discord ever goes defunct and the game can't function without it because game developers aren't around/care to remove it or go out of business.
