Great to see another UT99 patch. A couple of years ago when I switched over to linux UT99 deathmatch was my multiplayer mainstay. I'd definitely recommend it but unless you're quite experienced with arena fps it may be worth playing with some mates. Otherwise, you'll quickly learn to get good with hitting sniper headshots while dodging.

This could be pretty sick. I do like that it is it's own game rather than DLC - hopefully that means it will include some deeper changes.

Great write up, very useful for new users. It could be worth adding proton-cachyos [External Link] given how popular CachyOS is now.

Hell yeah - DF is so sick. I'm eagerly awaiting the magic and myth updates.

Guess it's time to start a new fort and have some FUN.

The offline installers are fine-ish, but in some cases, they can lag behind the game versions available in Galaxy (or alternate clients like Heroic, obviously).

Interesting, I didn't know this.

Btw, for anyone looking to backup their offline installers definitely check out lgogdownloader [External Link].

I love Balatro and this looks pretty sweet though I feel very overwhelmed by the amount of content in the base game already. 16 new characters may as well be 100000 new characters. I've got a few of the DLCs and I've barely touched those yet.

I'm gonna hold out for the next update and see if there's a better way to visualize and progress through the content

IMO, GOG's preservation efforts are kinda lacking. Having games be playable is fine, but having them play *well* is another, and GOG hasn't done much on that front.

I agree, their preservation is typically an ambulance at the bottom of a cliff but I feel it's far, far better than nothing. They do add enhancements to some games which you can see here [External Link] under 'See what we improved'. I'm sure if they had more capital they would be able to invest in larger improvements for a broader selection of games.

I do really wish they would embrace Linux more. I know it also is a cost but I'd love to see a Linux Galaxy client.

I would definitely use something like this if I didn't exclusively use the Steam application itself to browse the store. Unrelated note - anyone else remember when Steam had skin support? I miss that :(

I am vehemently against game exclusivity but it's worrisome to see Halo go cross-platform. I'm glad it is but I worry that this is the death knell for Xbox. I don't think it'll be soon but Xbox hardware dying is not good for competition or consumers.

I'm glad they're doing this and I will definitely donate monthly. I'm surprised that some people in the thread are saying the games should be free if they ask for donations. They're a company who has consistently struggled to make a profit and losing GOG would be a big blow to gaming and preservation. Who else is going to work directly with developers and published from years and years ago to get the source etc? It's not perfect but it's a hell of a lot better than relying on fans exclusively. Sorry to beat a dead horse.
