Quoting: EagleDeltaAs far as I can tell, all the links are broken
Works fine here tested across Firefox, Chrome, Chromium and Android.

It's hard to believe Selaco is running on GZDoom in the latest 3 minute trailer

Quoting: EhvisLooking good. But why is it hard to believe that it's using gzdoom?
Well, the majority of stuff in GZDoom that I've seen has been very classic Doom styled, whereas this is very different. Of course there's examples that have also gone way beyond original Doom but most of them stick closer to the retro.

Quoting: kit89A co-op game with anti-cheat, is it planning to be a persistent loot-drop game, or highly competitive?
It has a PvP mode in it too.

Let's be sure our comment section doesn't turn into Reddit though please, like Garry clearly noticed [External Link]. It's fine to air disappointment and concerns, but let's be clear that any personal attacks and name calling just aren't welcome here. I haven't had to delete any yet, but there's simply no need for name calling - don't make me edit posts please.

Looks like the fresh Back 4 Blood Beta is working on Linux with Proton GE

Quoting: Leopardwiw, Valve doesn't build those pipelines. It is users.
Oh I'm aware, it was meant more as in it builds up on Valve's servers to send out.

Quoting: JuliusJudging by some online comments it seems EAC is disabled in coop-mode (which makes sense), but enabled in versus mode. So the latter does not work with Proton right now AFAIK.
Like I said in the article, all modes worked.

The Humble Big Brain Bundle has XCOM 2, 5D Chess, Battletech and more

Quoting: morbiusXCOM 2 users complain that recently introduced launcher breaks the game. Although I'm a big fan of turn-based strategy games, I'm not sure how I feel about what's on offer in this bundle. Still, most of the games have Linux versions and the price is most certainly enticing.
Linux version uses the Feral launcher, continues working just fine.

Quoting: LinuxerI prefer to download via torrent, is there really no torrent or a magnet link to download this?
When you go to download there's a magnet icon next to the main download button, that's the torrent.

Quoting: NeverthelessIn one of the hands on videos ( https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/c274cab9-49dd-48b2-acf3-7b6bc8574acb [External Link] )
at around 9 minutes, the Valve guy shows how it's updated, and he says "system, Steamplay and Bios-updates" are updated at once in a big package for the benefit of knowing exactly whats on the device.
So I wouldn't expect anything like Manjaro..
Well, that is basically how Manjaro do updates though. They bundle everything together, test a bit and then release. Just because Valve have more (like their own stuff included), doesn't mean it's entirely different.
