This is some impressive black magic.

Quoting: tmtvlI have the third problem: I see my list of games and realize I'll never have the time I need to give them all the love they deserve.

Same. And somehow that list also keeps getting longer...

Quoting: slaapliedjeTime for a port to the Atari 8bits?

Well it's already been ported to C64...

(edit: removed the link because I realized after the fact that it's an unofficial "cracked" version, apologies for that. perhaps now that the source is released there will be an "official" port.)

System76 have put Coreboot into two of their main Intel-powered laptops

QuoteSystem76 are gradually becoming a bit more like the Apple of the Linux hardware world now.

When a company's actions essentially say "We're in control, trust us," I'm not likely to do so. When a company's actions say "Don't trust us, you're in control," I'm much more likely to trust them. Strange how that works...
Valve will bring out 'Remote Play Together' to give online support to local multiplayer games

Quoting: michaTowerfall Ascension Online!! <3

This was my first thought as well. But considering I didn't enjoy playing Shovel Knight via in-home streaming because there was too much latency, I'd imagine Towerfall and other fast platformers won't be very fun... at least not for the remote player(s)... :P

Wireless augmented reality + xrdesktop = "Where did I put that GIMP window? [walks into kitchen] Oh there it is."
Valve may be working on a new version of the Steam Controller
4 July 2019 at 9:09 pm UTC
Since I play a lot of platformers: Pleaseohpleaseohplease give us a real SNES-style d-pad on the left instead of a trackpad. And slightly bigger buttons on the right.
Valve have put out a new Steam Client Beta, it's small but good for Steam Play users

Quoting: BeamboomWhat do people use that overlay for, when gaming? For Steam chat? I just simply never enter that mode other than if someone happen to message me during a session...?

In SteamOS/Big Picture (yes I'm still a loyal SteamOS user), it's nice to be able to tweak your controller config on the fly. Though I suppose this bug doesn't necessarily affect that situation since the controller can do the work.
First-person dungeon crawler 'Delver' now has an open source engine and editor
19 November 2018 at 7:16 pm UTC
Delver is really fun. My only wish is that there was a "non-hardcore" mode, or at least a way to save the generation seed, because I really enjoy exploring its procedurally generated labyrinths and I want to keep exploring the same space rather than starting over when I die. (Or perhaps it has that feature now, I haven't played it in a while.)
