Looks like Splitgate will be the next 'big thing' FPS supported on Linux

The only major issue that I've had is that the game is gaining popularity which means sometimes I cannot log in to the server due to overload!

Really fun when it gets going though. I seem to be mostly matched with Poles and Germans judging by the choices of username and they all seem to be very much more nimble-fingered than middle-aged me :-)

EDIT: speeling.

Survival platformer Residual gets a new demo on Steam

I'm keeping an eye on this one as I have a soft spot for Apogee and I also like platformers. Secret Agent HD was a great surprise :-)

Valve has formally announced the Steam Deck, a portable handheld console with SteamOS

Quoting: Appelsin
Currently it's limited to United States, Canada, European Union, and the United Kingdom with more regions becoming available in 2022.
Nothing for Norway then (or Switzerland, or Iceland or Luxemburg)? Or is this just a ploy to make us join the EU?
We in the UK left the EU and can order it, so they're sending mixed messages ;-)

I was thinking of switching to Wayland on my Tumbleweed KDE system system until I found this page [External Link]. Yikes :-)

I got really excited about these freebies until I realised I already owned them. Whoops ;-) More for my unplayed or barely-played list of shame...

Challenging sci-fi action RPG Hellpoint is now available

Quoting: slaapliedjeHa, how is it not Dark Souls? The only thing I've even noticed different in the gameplay is sometimes the 'souls' that drop are dropped as little cubes, which you keep if you die. Other than that, the gameplay and even the level design seems very similar.
Well, looking at the promotional illustrations on Steam I sometimes just want to shout "Shakara!" ;-)

Wow. It's free and there are complaints about the key being tied to the Steam store :-(

I quite enjoyed Pandora, so I'm definitely following this one!

Quoting: EikeIn the last Smach Z article, someone said that somebody big should stand up and develop such a thing and that it could be a promising endeavor... :)
Just as long as this doesn't become the Smach Zzz...

EDIT: Too many CTRL-Vs.

System76 releases the open source Launch Configurable Keyboard

I honestly hope this keyboard sells well, but it's not for me without the numpad (and a few extra macro keys). My trusty Roccat Ryos still does the business in this house :-)
