Improvements to the gameplay UI, such as toggling object highlight by double-pressing TAB.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game engine OpenXRay gets taken down on GitHub

It's funny how digital stuff gets taken down automatically in order to protect corporate profits as soon as a complaint is made against someone but you have to do decades of research and lawsuits to even try to remove a carcinogenic product from the food market.

It's all about protecting corporate profits and nothing else.

Gladius is good Warhammer 40k stuff. Turn based Starcraft so you can take your time and enjoy your coffee or tea.

And it's one of the best running games on Linux I've ever seen.

Quoting: sonic2kkMaybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I'll stick with Torchlight II for my ARPG fix. Grim Dawn, while not native, also sates the urge for something a bit meatier in terms of story.
This!

Torchlight II & Grim Dawn are ARPGs to take with you on a deserted island. If not for the quality of the games then just because most others require an internet connection to servers that will eventually be closed.

Valve dropped Counter-Strike 2 support on macOS and older hardware

MacOS, iOS & Safari are the modern equivalent for Internet Explorer 6.

"Everybody" uses them yet nobody wants to support them.

The weird thing in all of this is that Apple contributed to the development of many of the standards they are no longer upholding.

Uncurated packages? Like ARCH's AUR that everybody warns you against using?

Oh, it has the canonical logo slapped on it. That's much better. /$

If Wayland were a pie it would be filling up the house with a delicious aroma right now.

Quoting: devlandReading the comments here makes me all the more happy that I didn't buy it day one.

It's sad that even Larian jumped on the "pay full price for the beta tester privelege" band-wagon.

It's best to just wait a year or so with titles as bis as this. That way you get a smoother experience and maybe even a lower price in the inevitable holiday sale entry.
brother they did that 3 years ago already
That was early access. Alpha version.
This is beta. It's full of bugs.

Total War: WARHAMMER III for Linux updated to v3.1

It really doesn't matter as long as the years old segmentation fault crash is still happening and Feral actively refuses to fix it.

At this point I really do hope all porting companies go bankrupt since their contributions have been marginal at best while open source hobby grade translation layers like DXVK not only work better but are actively maintained and improved with only a fraction of the budget.
