Escape Simulator has a Native Linux version again, devs still recommend Proton
16 Jun 2025 at 9:48 am UTC Likes: 12

Initially I didn't really catch that they actually removed the Linux depots. After I figured out, I tried my best to explain to them that this was a step beyond what is acceptable. The choice to stick with the product that you bought should always be available even if it isn't updated. Despite big publishers trying to convince us that we have no rights as a consumer, we shouldn't just lay down and accept this as truth.

Craftlings refreshes the classic Lemmings with mini city-building
11 Jun 2025 at 11:26 am UTC

That does look truly fantastic. You get the nostalgic feel of Lemmings while adding a bunch of new things to it. If it was native, I'd definitely have been a day one purchase. Without it, it'll have to wait until I feel ready to spend time with it.

Ubuntu 25.10 goes all-in with Wayland, dropping support for GNOME on Xorg

For that to work for me, all my use cases need to work properly. I have no doubt that normal desktop stuff will be fine, but games/steam/proton/wine needs to be good. VR needs to work properly. And GSYNC needs to work properly as well (in games, don't care about desktop). Haven't tried recently, so I'm not too sure what the state is.

At Fate's End is the next game from the Spiritfarer team

Spiritfarer was a pretty good game, but it overstayed its welcome at the end. I hope they learned to not artificially inflate playtime with this one.

Team Cherry clarify Hollow Knight: Silksong will be out before the 2025 holiday season

Only one boss left in Hollow Knight. Unfortunately, the fight represents precision platforming more than it does fighting a boss and I suck at that. If it wasn't for the fact that it's blocking my way to the "good" ending, I'd probably skip it.

NVIDIA stable driver 575.57.08 released for Linux

Just as I downgraded to 550 drivers because the newer ones give too many issues.

SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S
28 May 2025 at 11:26 am UTC Likes: 18

Windows is not made to serve the user, it's made to serve Microsoft's dominance in the market.

What they could have done was create a version of the xbox system for use on various other devices. This would actually serve their current direction for gaming more than having Win11 on these handhelds. But I guess these sorts of decisions take ages to through the decision process of these big bulky institutions.

Dune: Awakening will have BattlEye enabled for Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck
23 May 2025 at 11:28 am UTC Likes: 3

It's still a 50 euro game for which support can be revoked at any time. And since it doesn't actually "support" Linux, they don't even owe you an explanation. So I'm out.

Celebrating 10 years, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and older titles are heavily discounted
20 May 2025 at 4:01 pm UTC Likes: 7

I'm currently working on completing the last DLC of Witcher 3. After that's done I'll have clocked about 600 hours in the three games. Over about 10 years. Started with the first game when Witcher 3 was announced for SteamOS. We all know how that went. :grin:

Denuvo will lock you out of games on Linux, SteamOS, Steam Deck if you keep changing Proton versions

Does deleting the prefix and reinstalling with the same proton version also count as a reactivation?

Just curious, not a problem I'll be running into.
