Valve restores the Steam page for Old School Rally after it got hit with a DMCA
22 Jul 2025 at 2:11 pm UTC Likes: 2

Interesting. I would assume the DMCA came from a manufacturer of some of the obviously-identifiable-but-unlicensed car models, and instead it came from someone who copied a design of some car, who thought that a model of someone else who copied a design of the same car was his own. emoji emoji
It looks like they had that part of it covered from the beginning.

"During the early stages of development, Sakis legally sourced certain car models under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) license from Sketchfab, a trusted and reputable online model database."

There's now an unofficial GUI for Lossless Scaling's Frame Generation on Linux
21 Jul 2025 at 5:07 pm UTC

I can't figure out how to get steam games to work with the new configuration system, which is what this GUI uses. It still works when I use the legacy environment variables though.

This Anime gacha game is all about magical girl horse racing
I think you mean magical horse girl racing. :grin:

The upcoming skate. from EA will be unsupported on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck due to anti-cheat
16 Jul 2025 at 12:40 pm UTC

Why always online? Skate, Skate 2 and Skate 3 were perfectly fun offline. I don't understand
It's basically an MMO. It's a multiplayer game with the Skate name, so it won't be similar to the singleplayer experience of the previous games. Skate as we knew it is officially dead. Hopefully, another developer will come along and make a true spiritual successor to Skate.

Lossless Scaling Frame Gen gets a Decky Loader Steam Deck plugin but there's drama
14 Jul 2025 at 2:55 pm UTC

I have no idea how you did this unless you manually compiled it and installed the files into the system, in which case you should be able to manually delete all the files.
You would think, but how does someone manually compile and install "blind"? That would take at least some thought to pull off and most likely some reading of the instructions. I'm very curious.

Lossless Scaling's Frame Generation for Linux gets upgraded to the latest v3.1

Again, doubt it would happen.
Are you just being a cautious pessimist, or do you have a reason why you doubt it will ever happen? It actually sounds like a really good idea and probably something that might ultimately be necessary if Valve is going to compete with these Xbox handhelds that are emerging, undoubtedly with full AMD driver and configuration software support.

Palworld is now Steam Deck Verified and SteamOS Compatible

How to see SteamOS compatibility in the store on desktop Linux? I only see "Steam Deck Compatibility."

KDE Plasma will continue having an X11 session, as Kubuntu switches to Wayland by default
23 Jun 2025 at 2:12 pm UTC

I've now been using Wayland on my main PC for a couple of years, and it's been wonderful. I have another device with Intel graphics that had some performance issues with Wayland, so I'm glad they still leave X11 as an option. I think there may even already be a bug fix for that issue in the latest Plasma.

OrangePi Neo gaming handheld with Manjaro Linux delayed until Q3 2025 with no exact date

I think this will still be of interests to enthusiasts, but they probably have lost their chance to get in on the mainstream market. They could maybe drum up some interest if they came up with some unique alternative use cases like an app that utilizes the touchpads and does something you wouldn't expect like control your smart home or something (probably a bad example - that's why I'm not a tech innovator). They need a Nintendo-esque gimmick.

I might have to move to a different VM solution.
I use KVM/QEMU with Virtual Machine Manager, and it works perfectly.
