ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE takes to the skies on October 1

Oooh, that reminds me how unhappy AC7's basically forced online mode made me.
Granted, I just had to to one match, and not too well either, to earn enough to get a better plane in SP and be able to progress.
That said, I was playing on Playstation back then and I don't have PS+ any more, so if this one is structured in any way like 7... bleurgh.
Otherwise, it's one of my most favouritest game series ever.

Funny thing is, Mr Sweeney is super successful in his own right.
And Mr Newell and Valve aren't saints either, their lootbox business is as evil as they come.
That said, being wealthy and being loved are two different things, and Mr Sweeney is definitely envious of all the affection Mr Newell is getting.

Chiaki-ng the open-source PlayStation Remote Play app gets better streaming quality and stability

I love Chiaki.
Edit a couple of days later: That said, 1.10 has proven to be a dud for me. Stutters all over the place and a huge (around 1 sec) audio delay. Downgrading to 1.9.9 fixed all that.
I use Chiaki exclusively remotely. It's not perfect, but it's very, very good 95% of the time. At least the previous version is.

Yeah, this is something I've been stung by a number of times. We (PL) get some of the highest prices on Steam, often on par with Switzerland, even though we're not even remotely as well-off as people Western-European countries.
I get developers/publishers would have no clue about all those different currencies and just put in whatever Valve suggests, so I put the blame firmly on them.

They may be scaling the stream, but the UI is still tiny at 125% in Gnome. Oh, well, one step at a time.

you grab DRM free games (from stores like GOG)If you have problems launching and closing games on Steam you will never get through „grabbing” anything from GOG or any other store.

GOG Preservation Program adds Heroes of Might and Magic titles and more

I agree with darth above, GOG only care about Windows and are at best indifferent towards Linux. I know them being DRM-free aligns with many Linux users' values, but they really aren't doing anything to be attractive for us. And this "game preservation" thing only makes our lives more difficult.
Stellar Blade works well on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck

This, otoh, runs absolutely beautifully at 40 fps. One sore point is texture quality, it's very, very low and no apparent way to change it. HDR looks very nice. I was getting around 2 hrs battery life to Liam's one, must be the OLED talking.
The game has its flaws, but is very solid in general, you're in for a good time there, Liam.

It's a shame that the default preset is so blurry,You haven't seen blurry until you've seen Expedition 33 on the Steam Deck preset. It's absolutely atrocious and disabling the SD lock is a must for the game to look somewhat presentable.

11 bit studios are remaking the original Frostpunk in Unreal Engine 5 with Frostpunk 1886

Well, the new version will certainly run like shit on the SD, as all UE5 titles do. Perhaps we'll have at least some news of SD2 by then, though.
