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.

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

SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S

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

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

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.

More Intel CPU security flaws revealed with Branch Privilege Injection
14 May 2025 at 7:14 pm UTC

I wonder if it's worth it to find some old microcode without the fixes. Turning off the kernel mitigations is easy, but this may need some research. But if enough was changed, it might be worth it.

Rescue Ops: Wildfire could be a good one for co-op fans where you fight raging infernos

Part of that co-op is the one player that starts the raging infernos, right?

GE-Proton 10-1 released with Proton 10 and fixes for Marvel Rivals, Oblivion Remastered and more on Linux / Steam Deck

I wish it would say what the fixes are, or link to a page or something...? I'm playing Oblivion so would like to know what this means

"Fix added for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered"
You can follow the github link. Find the protonfixes part, find the steam fix for the game and follow the python files to where it leads. I guess maybe that's not for everyone. :grin:

It seems to enable modding.
