NVIDIA RTX Remix released, plus Half-Life 2 RTX demo arrives March 18 - looking way too bright

I'd also like to know if we can use the new assets without RT

Doubt my aging 2060 super would run the RT very well, but the new assets look great

Heroic Games Launcher v2.16 released with improved Steam Deck / Linux game compatibility
2 Mar 2025 at 7:13 pm UTC

I've been getting into heroic lately, not as a replacement to lutris (which still has its own uses) but rather as my main front-end to view and launch all my pc games

It's smooth and attractive looking, but I do wish games were easier/smoother to browse with keyboard keys, it tends to cycle through the play and config/settings button and various other buttons making it feel a little cumbersome

Steam Next Fest - February 2025 is live with tons of demos

That theme music to adventures of a cat in space really is catchy, and it's a very charming game

Tried a game called Scaravan 66, it's a rouge-like vehicular combat game, had alot of fun with that one too

This reminds me I really need to play through the remastered collection I have sitting in my steam library, which is meant to be really good

It's honestly quite refreshing how pro-consumer ea seems to be when it comes to c&c, someone high up at ea must REALLY like c&c lmao

The Wipeout-like racer BallisticNG gets Steam Deck Verified

Been playing this off and on ever since it first came out, it's a really good game!

It's drm-free on steam as well, not just gog :woot:

Humble's Better With a Friend bundle has some quality co-op games

I'd love to see specific mention of couch co-op when mentioning these sort of games, as someone not into online gaming but always looking for some friendly couch co-op 😀

Tribes of Midgard and Across the Obelisk seem to be online co op only

It's a shame that less games take local multiplayer into account, especially on pc where some companies think we only play at a desk *cough* diablo 4

Yes as we all know only consoles have hdmi output

Popular game launcher Playnite will get Linux support but it's still a while away

@dibz

Yeah you're not wrong and gets me thinking how hard this could be, especially when different distros might put files in different places. Would make it very hard to auto-scan for games with how the file system works

Even if it takes more initial setting up, if the gui works as smooth as it does on windows I'd be happy

Those talking about htpc, I've been using my pc on a sofa in front of a TV for about 3 years now.. I use a keyboard/touchpad combo (logitech k400) and honestly never used my controller to navigate or launch games, and works great.. though you might have to run a usb extension cable so the receiver can actually pick it up

Also I hope it includes something like lutris support as lutris is handy alone for its community installers, currently I use lutris to help install games then add them on heroic and using heroic as my main launcher

This is so exciting!

I recall seeing the dev on reddit few years back saying he'd look into possible linux support

This would be fantastic, I've wanted playnite on linux for a LONG time now, playnite is awesome
