Steam is doing another Tabletop Fest starting October 21 all about RPGs

Well, I'd be tempted to get Gloomhaven even though I play it in person with friends. We're almost done with the campaign (took us around 2 years). I have a couple of other friends, though, that don't live near me and would probably like to play online. I can easily say it's the best board game I've played to date. It does take a lot of time and commitment. I wonder if the computer version will be very flexible with "house rules" or not.

Valheim update Hearth & Home is out now with lots new
18 Sep 2021 at 3:49 am UTC

Quoting: AnzaLooks like people have been waiting for the update. At the moment Valheim is back at top ten most played games right now. 77298 peak today, which is still far from Grand Theft Auto V which has had today peak of 123933.
I've been waiting for it. :happy: Think I'll play it right now, actually.

SkateBIRD does a fancy kickflip onto Steam and itch.io as it's out now

This reminds me that THPS remakes are on the Switch. Hmm....

I think I will wait for things to improve with Skate Bird before jumping in. It looks pretty cool though.

Looks like it could be fun for a few nights for people that like playing Human Fall Flat with friends.

And that means me. :grin:

EndeavourOS gets a big upgrade to their ISO download that's 'a significant step' for it

Quoting: NoStAs I see it, Manjaro is a great choice for "regular users" that just want everything to work. On the other hand, EndeavourOS is perfect for power users and developers....
That's what's "advertised," but my own anecdotal experience doesn't match. I ran Manjaro on about 5 computers I touched on a regular basis, and the experience lead me to convert most of those to EndeavourOS. My main rig is Arch and I've had much fewer annoyances than Manjaro. I am hoping Endeavour doesn't get too opinionated in their custom packages. So far, so good.

I would actually say Manjaro is still for power users. I'm not sure any rolling release distro is for regular users. Something like Linux Mint and KDE Neon is for regular users, which have well-tested releases and a polished desktop environment.

Just my opinion.

Steam not working right on Arch Linux? It's an issue with FreeType and there's a fix
4 Sep 2021 at 2:35 am UTC

Can't say I've hit this problem. I might be in a sweet spot based on when I run updates. Nice to see the news, though, in case I run into it.

Funny but also sad that we started defending Arch before anyone even attacked. Arch is popular enough. We don't need to evangelize! It won't be cool anymore if it's mainstream! :cry:

Stellaris set for a big 'Lem' update in September with 'The Custodians' initiative

I've recently gotten an itch to play Stellaris. It's just a matter of: do I want to see the rest of the day disappear into the blood-shot hours of the night?
