You have no idea how long I've been keeping this quiet... TMNT: Shredder's Revenge will be releasing on June 16, one week from now, for both Windows and native Linux. We've specifically made sure it's an at-home experience on Steam Deck from day one! One week!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!111!!!!1!!!

I usually do not buy games at launch, but when I do, they have a native Linux port.

Dome Keeper is going to be my next craving, demo is great on Linux and Steam Deck

Defend - Take control of the defenses and fend off the alien attacks.
Aren't the player "the alien"? After all, you are the one going to others' planet to steal their mineral resources.

This reminds me of the great "I'm the legend" book that they made a movie about, and totally lost the meaning of the title by changing the much better ending of the book.

Since their laptops are just Clevo re-brands, it will be easy to launch in Europe. The desktops my require more time.

Back 4 Blood gets a small update for the Steam Deck
9 Jun 2022 at 11:32 am UTC

As a big time L4D2 player (over 3,000 hrs), this game was such a disappointment. I played the demo they released and it don't hold a candle near the Valve game. And their claim of fame of being "the creators of L4D" is a scam. As a YT video pointing every problem with it, the real true slogan is "the creators of Evolve".

SCS put the Heart of Russia DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 on hold for now

Quoting: RussianNeuroMancerThis is the right decision. It's absolutely crazy what Russian government do right now, and not only government - around 70% citizens believe in propaganda, and honestly wish Ukrainians death. There is just no point to release this DLC until Russia citizens change their mind, and I don't expect it to happen anytime soon.
Mind you is not just Russians that eat their propaganda. A bunch of people here in Brazil that identify themselves as leftists, believe in it too. Is not all of them, but enough to be annoying.

Intel gives an unclear update on when to expect Intel Arc GPU availability

Quoting: slaapliedjeBut at least one thing remains the same... non-ASUS motherboards sucked in the past and they still kind of suck :P
I have 2 Asus mobos here that beg to differ. Both stopped working right after their 1 year warranty expired... Meanwhile, I also have mobos from other manufacturers (like Gigabyte) that still going strong after a 10 year period.

Check out the demo for Space Bandit, a shoot 'em up roguelite with 'annoyingly clever AI'

You said twin stick but the footage looks like it was made with mouse and keyboard in mind. I was burned before by this, but since it has a demo, I will give it a try before buying it.

Is your PC okay? We are in a very unfortunate time to buy new parts.

Rocket Bot Royale is like a Worms styled Battle Royale with jumping tanks
22 Apr 2022 at 11:35 am UTC

I started in this type of game not by playing Worms, but a old opensource game called Atomic Tanks, available in your favorite distro repositories. It is a nice distraction when you are bored at work and card games don't give you any kick.

The upcoming Steam Deck Dock got an upgrade, now called a 'Docking Station'

Quoting: fagnerlnWould be nice if the dock had a more powerful GPU (eGPU?) that the deck switches to it when it's docked.
Gaming performance would be bottlenecked by the quadcore CPU. Youtube Channel ETA Prime kept their promise of testing a external GPU via the m.2 slot. While there were gains in most games, it is clear that the CPU cannot keep up with something much more powerful than the iGPU.

This actually demonstrates that the components of the Steam Deck APU were carefully chosen, to make the best use of its 15W power limit.
