KONAMI update the METAL GEAR SOLID Steam collection with Steam Deck support

While I find great to have such statement, I wonder where an user is supposed to look for official support statements :)

Game requirements still state just Windows 10(64-bit OS required) and I honestly wonder why.

Isn't damn time to have Steam Deck listed as an option alongside Linux,Mac and Windows in the requirements?

Who is to blame? Maybe Valve for not offering the possibility to devs?

I've a vague feeling that Steam is a bit overenginered, even not counting the fact that is based on a browser engine.

Definitely waiting for everything shader related, Linux really needs something like that.

Quoting: Liam DaweI'm not wanting to once again get drawn into a debate about Native vs Proton, but support is generally important yes. Native Linux? Not so much.

Neither me!
If a Developer (not Valve's tags) states official support to Proton, I'm all for it, native or not, but usually they dont, so usually supported means native, that's why I asked.

By the switching to Godot, I dreamed about one more click for the developers was all they need to support us natively, that's all.

Are we really at a point where having the OS of choice not supported is not important?

I really hope not, but back in topic, didn't they switched to Godot for good not so long ago or my memory serves me bad?

Point and click adventure Zarathustra uses AI Art and AI Voices

One the the beauties of art is that you can sense (or just illude yourself, but still) a human contact with the artist itself.

AI will just throw that away, yet another step versus the flat(er) future world.

Please, don't buy that; If you're running out of good stories, read a book full of words (written by a human).

Discord for Linux gets Flathub Verified

So, there is this trend of using web browser engines to wrap "apps".
I can understand it to a certain extent when they offer functionalities a web browser alone can't achieve, like the integration with the underlying system (steam, heroic), but other use cases are obscure to my understanding (MS Teams).

But now they are wrapping a web app into a browser engine and wrap the result in a flatpak package.

Why one should install a prepackaged flatpak with tons of deps to have something that works better in a tab of an already installed web browser?

Seriously, this is a real question, what is the problem that needs to be addressed by this approach?

I'm still using Discord services by clicking on a bookmark.

Nintendo 3DS emulator Citra gets a performance boost on Linux / Steam Deck

QuoteOpenGL is considered an ageing graphics API, with buggy and slow drivers
The drivers aren't buggy nor slow on Linux or Nvidia+Windows.
Tha makes me think that their claimings about speed increases by switching to Vulkan are related to Windows+Intel.
