Castle Cab looks like Crazy Taxi but with an unhinged horse and silly customization

You had me at crazy taxi, looks great fun from trailer

It's always a bonus to see indie games carrying on the tradition of split-screen as well

If I recall there's been some cases of game devs focused on proton but also only for steam deck which is my only worry

I've ran into issues with native linux ports but also some run just fine. The most annoying ones for me are the native ports refusing to run due to requiring old and deprecated libs

Solo and co-op? That sounds great, I loved playing TF2 many moons ago but it's extremely rare I play online MP anymore

I'm guessing the hacker/cheater problem with the official tf2 is doing okay nowadays

Heroic Launcher for Epic, GOG, Amazon games on Linux / SteamOS v2.17 released

Ah I didn't realise it was so complex, I like using the ui to launch my non-digital pc games and gog games, makes sense I guess when I look at the features for gog like cloud saves and gog galaxy stuff.. shame gog ignores linux when it comes to their official client

I did try to work around this by making a steam shortcut and adding the shortcut as a game on Heroic, which worked initially but then the shortcuts stopped working

I know I could just use steam, just that on some of the older systems I use it feels somewhat sluggish compared to the more simple UI on heroic

Thanks for the explanation!

Does anyone know if they plan to add steam support, as in launch my steam games directly from heroics UI

Sometimes I want to use heroic launcher as my main games launcher but haven't found a reliable way to get my steam library on there

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller is a top premium-feeling controller

It'd be nice if their official adapter supported connecting more then 1 controller at a time

I guess there's bluetooth for that but don't know how reliable it'd be, plus I don't think the triggers are analogue over bluetooth

It's cool concept

But issue I always had with nucleus co-op is the audio. Since you're running two or more instances the audio basically doubles and sounds wrong

This is tempting to grab as I just finished Ori and the Blind Forest and might jump straight into Will of the Wisps
