Quoting: neolithI'd give it a try, but it seems to be infested with Denuvo. :sad:
Denuvo only supports Windows though.

HORI Steam Controller releases in the USA in December

No rumble is kind of weird. Also strange is that this is a controller for Steam and that is clearly on Valve's radar, but it's not being sold on Steam.

The weirdest thing though, is the use of double negatives in two of the three items of the list of missing features. :tongue:

EA / Respawn now block Apex Legends from running on Linux and Steam Deck

Sounds like the developers of cheat software figured out that going through Linux (without the kernel level stuff) was the easier route to make money. Now they'll just go back to the harder way. It doesn't really solve anything for EA, but at least it sounds good.

I wonder if Valve knows more and if the recent kernel level anti-cheat disclosure is part of a bigger plan.

Factorio: Space Age sold over 400,000 copies and sets a new player count record

This DLC is amazing. I've spent 70 hours playing it last week and only 15 of those were setting up the base game content.And that's just two of the four added planets done.

I wouldn't recommend the DLC for a new player though. Better get used to the base game first. There is some stuff in there that is fairly complicated to set up (Gleba takes the cake so far, took me about 30 hours to figure out how to get that running).

In case you're new to the game and did buy the DLC. If you want to play the base game, you have to disable it in the "Mods" menu. It's kind of funny that they didn't even make a separate option for it. And while you're at it, better leave the "Quality" feature mod for another time as well.

Factorio 2.0 and Factorio: Space Age DLC are out now

Time to leave the planet!

Goodbye world, you'll see me again when I'm done. :tongue:

Steam Next Fest - October 2024 edition is now live with lots of demos
15 Oct 2024 at 8:28 am UTC

Tried Block Factory since I enjoy factory games. This one is a bit too simplistic for me. Clearly based on Shapez, but because a lot of things magically happen in building configs, the factory builds themselves aren't particularly interesting. Performance is atrocious. Was building up the first area to 3 stars and I already dropped to 40 fps. Another thing of note is that the game lets you speed up. But in doing so, the output rate of my factory changed. This is a very worrying sign for the factory simulation in the background as these things are supposed to be deterministic.

Minetest breaks the chains of being a Minecraft clone with a new name — Luanti

This was always a project that was due for a name change. The "test" always made it seem like some tech demo code that's not meant to have a future. You can argue about the new name, but at least it now sounds more like a game engine.

Quoting: StellaI'm confused. Is that the LTS release? Does this mean I can now get Plasma 6 with Kubuntu 24? I tHought it always took longer for things to arrive in the LTS branch
This is not LTS. But yes, Kubuntu has Plasma 6.1.

Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare come to PC on October 29

This game (as is RDR2) would be up my alley, but unfortunately the launcher is a deal breaker for me. Technically that would still open up a direct purchase as this wouldn't be a "3rd party" dependency, but I don't really trust rockstar enough for that.

Epic Games reduce their cut for Unreal Engine games for same-day Epic Store launches

So basically Epic is still trying to please the publishers instead of the customers while the latter is the only potential source of income. Sometimes I think that want the store to be an epic fail so they can stay true to their name.
