...and these are real stand-alone games only? (meaning without DLCs etc.?)

So, if I understand it correctly: People/users do not like AI stuff in games? :huh:

Unreal Tournament 2004 is getting revived by OldUnreal with approval from Epic Games

Quoting: rea987Well, it's hard to believe that 2 decade old proprietary has a 64 bit native build available for Linux already. It does require a bit library linking but Luxtorpeda automates that perfectly. Regardless, best arena shooter of all times.
Well UT2k4 "always" had a native Linux build; I believe it was just not added to the official DVDs during release...
(I've had the Linux build on old HDDs somewhere for years...)

WinBoat adds support for Podman, UWP, app filtering and more

Quoting: GoEsrIsn't the whole point of WinBoat that you don't have to interact with the Windows DE to use the apps? That's a pretty big difference from just using a VM.
Yes, that too... (and it *mostly* works fine)

Quoting: _wojtekWinBoat is super weird… and they still require windows licence so for me it's a huge "no-go" meh…
Well it can/will install windows even without a valid reg. key (into trial mode). So f you need some windows app for only a relatively short time frame (like me, who required m$ office for about a month due to me preparing/modifying a bunch of office docs for an event happening once a year [ISO 27001 certification audit]), it is absolutely great.

So yes and no at he same time :grin:

Valve reveal the new Steam Frame, Steam Controller and Steam Machine with SteamOS

This is a great news indeed! :woot:

On the other hand, I'm a little bit afraid that concerning "Linux support" and/or "Linux anticheat support" the standard desktop Linux might get sidetracked by (immutable) SteamOS in the future (resulting not in general Linux support but in SteamOS only support). We will see how this plays out...

Anyway, I wish Valve great success with this new hardware line; hopefully great Linux things lie ahead... :whistle:

Nice update...

New trailer for Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown has a rather bald Borg crew member

If you've lived a for a few centuries, then DS9 might seem recent. Maybe DrMcCoy is a vampire…‽
Nah... I guess that is yet another Lanthanite amongst us; they are known to live for centuries... :whistle:
