I'm wary of Netflix these days as Trump has bought around $1m in bonds in Netflix.

I have two games on those lists. Perhaps my preferences are less mainstream? 😀

2025 has been a good year for games, but Zexion is probably my favourite.

Award for the absolute worst (re-)release for 2025 goes to The Fortress of Dr.Radiaki - Fancy Edition. The dictionary definition of motion sickness would point at this game!

I've been playing The Séance of Blake Manor [External Link], which is a great supernatural detective mystery. The only issue I have with the game is the time mechanic, though I can see why it's important. Recommended 8/10.

Also on my playlist has been Serious Sam 2 [External Link], which looks quite nice with the remaster (though still with some blocky textures). No deserts encountered so far, so it's all good :-)

Back in 2019, Puppy Games made this free to Linux users [External Link] on itch.io.

However, I notice that this no longer seems to be the case as when I went to re-install the game, they now want some money!

For those who are (understandably) anti-DRM, the store page says that this release has Denuvo Anti-Tamper. This can cause problems if switching between Proton versions too many times.

Interestingly, this is one of the Denuvo titles that was actually cracked a couple of years ago.

@d3Xt3r Thanks for the pointer. However, despite following that guide 100% my system would still not recognise the 8BitDo controller through Wine. No error messages either!

Have just compiled UZDoom for the first time for my Tumbleweed system. Seems to fire up nicely :-)

Tried this out last night. I managed to get the Logitech software working with USB passthrough so that I could reconfigure my G502 Hero mouse, which was great news, though I did need to attach a second mouse to be able to move the pointer!

I couldn't get the 8BitDo software to recognise the Ultimate 2C Wireless controller via USB, though. This is necessary to be able to update firmware etc. If anyone has any tips, they would be welcome :smile:
