It hadn't occurred to me before, but you know, in real life probably most of the people in the Wild West didn't have, like, western cowboy-style accents because after all, they just got there.

So I'm watching the trailer, nodding along, enjoying the refreshingly different accent of the character doing the intro, OK, exploration, buying stuff, like . . . portals. Oh yeah, I remember how portals made settling the Wild West so much easier . . . hang on a minute.

This seems interesting. The big thing I'm wondering is, do you ever get to crush this Guild?

You know, compared to all those other factory-esque games, this has one fundamental advantage:

Apperantly Linux servers also encountered this issue, but for linux it was caught by the admins before it could cause an outage.
In conclusion:
Linux is pretty secure, cool and stable, but Linux servers are all those things 10 times more than Linux causes them to be, because they're being managed by Linux users.
Looking at that, it would appear that Linux was vulnerable . . . if it was running virtualized Windows with Crowdstrike on it, using VMWare. I'm not sure a vulnerability that only shows up if you're running Windows counts as a Linux vulnerability.

Well, good for them, I guess? Not like I really care about the ROG Ally. I'm sure it's somebody's ally, but it's not my ally--don't believe I've even signed any treaties with them.

Steam stable update released, and a Beta with lots of fixes for Desktop and Steam Deck

Quoting: TangoBakerThe only thing game recording has ever produced on my steam deck is a black screen. Oddly, it works fine from my desktop.
With Steam or Non-Steam games? Worked fine for me when testing it at the first Beta.
With Steam games. Ironically, posting this actually inspired me to try and find a fix. I found several posts that mentioned having decky loader installed would cause this. I don't remember ever having it installed but I downloaded the installer, installed it and then uninstalled it. No good explanation why but this seemed to fix it.
Computers are weird.

Hair of the Dog [External Link]. It was an hour long free game. Sort of a proof of concept?
Ah, there we go, so I'm not going crazy. Or rather, this particular issue is not a sign of my going crazy . . .
