Thief-like free and open source game The Dark Mod 2.13 brings better AI vision and new graphical goodies
24 Mar 2025 at 12:45 pm UTC

I'm in the middle of Thief Gold myself, the game is exceptional as expected, but I dare say it's starting to overstay its welcome with 35 hours of playtime and yet still a couple missions away, the Expert difficulty setting makes each mission considerably longer which lentghens the game's overall playtime. Even though like I said I really like the game, it's just a bit absurd for me to take (I predict) 40+ hours on a game that overall has way less story than something like Deus Ex which took me about 33 hours.

In searching for why did this remaster take them so long, I came across a prehistoric GOL article of all websites :grin::

What a nice coincindence. So the source code was lost ? That makes sense and explains all this wait, they probably had to reverse engineer a lot.

Web UI is still only focused for the Gnome version.

One exciting major addition here for Fedora Linux 42 is that the KDE Plasma desktop has now been promoted to "edition status", meaning you can consider it a flagship experience and that their support of the KDE Plasma desktop will be good.
From what I read from the Fedora KDE people, the change is more for visibilitiy for newcomers than anything else, since the 'flagship' experience and support has already been present and is the case for a while now, and I personally attest to that!

Stardew Valley modding on Linux / Steam Deck takes a step with the Nexus Mods app
18 Mar 2025 at 1:17 pm UTC

I never did more involved modding that required mod managers, so I'm not experienced in this; for this new manager, I thought the process would be so they just need to make a solid base, then new games can just be supported, but so far it looks like it's "add game, fix bugs, repeat", will there be a point where this won't be the case ? Feels like it'll be forever until more games are supported if they're going one by one.

I hope this somehow falls off. I do not want Discord in my games.

Did performance improve?
I didn't overclock so no. I did it to get better temperatures, results were -12C for only 3 to 5 less FPS.
