I dunno about more closed in. We think of Japan like it's all Tokyo, but there's a lot of rural and even a quite surprising amount of wilderness in Japan.

Marvel's Wolverine gets a proper trailer and it's brutal

I was actually wondering about the "effectively invulnerable" issue. If I had to guess, I'd be suspecting they'll just mostly ignore Wolverine's healing factor. But it would be interesting if you instead did things like leave him basically unkillable, but put time pressure in the missions, or other kinds of pressure like if you do it wrong people you're trying to save will die. And, from time to time, something special has an attack that could vaporize you or something.

Baldur's Gate 3 gets a Native Linux version to improve it on Steam Deck

SteamOS accounts for roughly a third of Linux users on Steam, making it the largest single distribution. The rest is highly fragmented, which is why "it runs here but not there" is such a common story.
So what you do is you say "We are targeting the Steam Linux Runtime (version whatever). We will support any Linux users using that. Anyone else can run at their own risk."
I don't see why this is complicated.

Hmmm . . . So, I wonder what happens if you have a Steam Deck, download it there, then copy it over to your Linux desktop and play it there? Would it complain if you didn't play offline?

Y'know, I'm starting to think it's not better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

Well, I was on the fence, but the trailers says "Now, with 10% more bonk!"
Now that's a deal!

this IS a violation of every version of gpl.
Uh, I've read the GPL version 2. I think you're misunderstanding something.

Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition is Steam Deck Verified ahead of release

You know, looking at the premise it suddenly hit me that we've been missing a key feature of the aliens' biology. They've evolved to be parasitic on stupid corporate executives. Their mix of oh-so-impressive-and-deadly characteristics are crap for long term integration into any given planetary ecosystem, but perfect at hypnotizing corporate morons into thinking "We could use that horrifying destructive power!" and giving them rides to new places to breed.

Please make it stop - Google Chrome to be reimagined with AI
19 Sep 2025 at 6:11 pm UTC Likes: 8

The problem is that so much of the Web is now centered around Chrome, and Google is dictating the architecture of the Web more than W3C or anyone else.
Anyone else have a feeling of deja vu?

I'm hoping that Alabaster Dawn brings Radical Fish the love they deserve.
You know, out of context that is an absolutely amazing sentence.
