KDE Plasma 6.1 will be able to sync keyboard RGB to your chosen accent colour

We need this for Gnome, too. I put the lighting of my keyboard to the accent color of the Gnome, it would be cool if that could be done automatically.

Humble Bundle has some awesome puzzle games in this latest bundle

Fortunately, I didn't have any of these games before, so the purchase was really a no-brainer. Even if you already have some bundled game, keys are individual and you can easily trade away your duplicates for something else you want. Good games that are rarely bundled are always in high demand at the trade market.

Loved the first game, so long ago.

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP gets a 2023 refresh and Steam Deck Verified

It's a silly pointless game, not really worth your time. It's got nothing to say and says it boringly.

Humble has a bundle full of awesome games IGN gave 9s and 10s

This would have been an awesome bundle, were it not for the fact that most of these games were recently available in Humble Monthlys. I believe Humble is unloading their unsold Steam keys in this bundle. Excellent value for those who don't already have most of these games, but I'm not among them.

GOG giving away Blacksad: Under the Skin during their Halloween Sale
31 October 2023 at 5:53 pm UTC

Quoting: dvd
Quoting: soulsourceThe Blacksad game is quite good, though they might have overdone it a bit with the (sometimes not so) unexpected twists.

It had some minor technical issues with Proton when I played it, but nothing critical.

I honestly don't know how I've never heard of this game since it was released. First giveaway that got me genuinely excited.

I would recommend the game to the fans of the comic book only. It is competently made, but has nothing really to set it apart from other games. The detective aspect is so-so implemented, the characters are meh, the gameplay is seen before done better. I completed the game recently, so at least it kept me interested enough to finish it, but it wouldn't be a waste if I didn't.

Humble Choice has Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Patch Quest, Deceive Inc + more

I just got it for The Forgotten City, the rest is going on the trade pile. I'm a fan of time manipulation games, so I expect this game should be right up my alley. I believe I would have liked Outer Worlds too, had it not been so comfortable with wasting my time, I'm not able to rewind that clock and get my own time back, that works only in the game.

A very decent month, after a quite bad one.

Mystery adventure Kona II: Brume gets a Linux demo ready for Steam Deck
13 October 2022 at 7:49 pm UTC

Quoting: F.Ultra
Quoting: morbiusI played the first game and it was so-so. Somewhat interesting premise, but an adventure at its heart. You had to go around looking for things and if you missed something, you couldn't progress until you find it.

Isn't that a "problem" with all games?!

No. Good games guide you towards what they want you to discover. In Kona, there is a magnet that you don't know that you need, hidden behind a house that you have no reason to go around back. That's just bad game design. That's how adventures from the early days of gaming used to work, no wonder that genre all but disappeared.
