Quoting: ThyuchevX-Com was playable on the Amiga? Well, I missed it, then!

The original X-COM: UFO Defense / UFO: Enemy Unknown was one of my first gaming loves on Amiga, that and Dune 2!

Quoting: Linux_RocksThis game has split/shared screen multiplayer, but doesn't support Remote Play Together on Steam. So I've got no interest in it anymore. As there's plenty of other games to buy instead.

It's only a demo, the game isn't even releasing for another ~1 year...

Quoting: hardpenguin

If it is Starfield, they'll likely want this release before the end of the week when the Early Access for it starts. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Starfield releases as Early Access?

I don't think so, just checked.

Their "early access" (lowercase) is the idea for pre-purchase customers to start playing the game 5 days early.

Anyway, I think Starfield is not gonna support Steam Deck. It has really high requirements and it would struggle to even achieve stable 30 fps on 720p.

Have made it more clear, I of course did not mean Steam Early Access.

Quoting: jams3223You forgot about the CPU power state EPP update, which should yield some performance boost for the steam deck.

As always: I didn't forget, I'm cherry picking random things. I can't add literally everything. It's not an exhaustive list. It remains to be seen if it makes a difference for Steam Deck.

Quoting: Deleted_UserI'm always wondering about the selection of the recommendations by GOL when it comes to sales.
For example here, the "big deal" of Europa Universalis IV at a 65% off. This is the discount that is given on steam felt every month. If you only look at the last 6 months, it's not even the best discount on GOG (which was a 80% off May 12th to 17th).

https://isthereanydeal.com/game/europauniversalisiv/history/?shop%5B%5D=epic&shop%5B%5D=gog&shop%5B%5D=humblestore&shop%5B%5D=steam&generate=Select+Stores [External Link]

I appreciate your work very much, but that makes such articles about sales useless for me, if I always have to question whether this is really a good deal now.

It's simply about the current deal on GOG. I really don't have time to individually go over every deal, to check against other stores and GOG sale history itself every time there is a sale. It's simply to show people what the discount is right now, and it's up to people to decide if that's good enough for them to buy now or not.

Quoting: 2bithackerFeels like a missed opportunity to put a couple of the USB ports on the front where the SNES controller ports would have been.

I imagine a lot of companies doing these docks (there's freaking loads of docks now), are using some sort of pre-made boards for it without much chance for customization like that - which would bump up costs.

I've removed some comments, because they really weren't very nice. Yes we use partner links, we have done for years and there is a statement and link above every article. We will continue using them and that's not up for debate. Any comments arguing on it will be removed without warning. As you were, happy gaming :)

Quoting: Linuxerumm im sorry but why is this mess again necesarry mkdir -p ~/.var/app/io.github.vinegarhq.Vinegar/config/vinegar/ && { echo "[player]"; echo "dxvk = false"; echo "renderer = \"Vulkan\""; } >> ~/.var/app/io.github.vinegarhq.Vinegar/config/vinegar/config.toml

why cant there be a button to click that say set vulkan :/

I'm not entirely sure why Roblox itself doesn't have a simple thing to change it. Googling around, even Windows users have to make a config thing to change it too last I checked.

The command is quite simple to understand though:
- Make a directory for the config file (mkdir)
- Add text to a file (echo >> file name)

Well, apologies due if anyone thinks I am being condescending. We all have our stances on things. Happy gaming ✌️

Quoting: EikeMy line is not yours to judge, Liam. I'm not religious about it (I do buy games to run under Proton for my children e.g.), but I personally did not install Linux to run exes and dlls, and that's a reasonable line, just as others are.

Well, we all judge and debate each other, it’s part of why we have comments after all 😜, I just find it an odd stance to have really. As if it truly matters what’s running behind it.

I will just stop engaging in these native vs proton comments if i can help it 😂. I just want people to have fun with games, on Linux, but this repeating “would get if native” is tiresome to see repeatedly so often when people can literally click a button and play it. ✌️
