Discord rolls out a nice improvement for video calls on Linux
10 Mar 2026 at 6:28 pm UTC

I did notice that video backgrounds were a thing recently while video-chatting with my brother. Nice to see that finally happen.

What does doing "\@everyone" actually do? It's unclear from the patch note.

DG2: Defense Grid 2 - Aftermath DLC finally comes to PC

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThis is about the only tower defence game I've actually played.
Same. The original Defense Grid was one of the first games I got on Steam (since it was part of the ARG around Portal 2 releasing), and I just…never really felt the need to play more TD games after playing these two. 😄

Valve give Team Fortress 2 a big bug-fix update
9 Mar 2026 at 6:26 pm UTC Likes: 2

  • Improved Medi Gun heal target selection to prioritize teammate directly under crosshair when teammates are close together (community fix from wget)

  • Improved targetid selection to replicate Medi Gun heal target selection (community fix from wget)
Love to see it as a Medic main. And all these community-contributed fixes, in general.

Now I'm wondering what the longest period of time a game has gone between release and some sort of update (bug fix, content addition, whatever) is? 🤔

Ubuntu and Fedora devs comment on California's new Digital Age Assurance Act
5 Mar 2026 at 5:06 am UTC

Quoting: CarollyThere's a reason that products sold in my country don't carry Prop 65 labels, and there's a reason that most products sold in America don't, either.
Perhaps "most" is technically true, but I see plenty of superfluous Prop 65 labels on things here in Hawaii. (I don't know if it's because those things come from California, or if it's just easier for a company to slap a label on something and sell one version throughout the US rather than make a separate version solely for California.)

Aquarium building sim Megaquarium gets a big free update and new DLC

Quoting: CaldathrasThis looks like it could be fun, especially if it sticks to real species instead of made-up ones.
It has admittedly been a while since I last played, but I'm fairly sure Megaquarium uses all real species.

The highlight of my morning so far was discovering a creator who makes felted nudibranchs [External Link] (including my favorite species!), so I'm definitely picking this up when I can afford it. 😃

Cities: Skylines celebrates 11 years with lots of new content on the way
3 Mar 2026 at 7:07 pm UTC

In addition a new Race Day expansion will arrive on March 10th giving you options to transform streets into courses for motor racing, running, and cycling events.
Can't wait to see what wild and wacky race courses people create using this feature. 😆

Happy four years to the Steam Deck - still the top PC gaming handheld

Just used mine to play a pass-'n'-play game of Terraforming Mars Sunday night at the Keck Observatory HQ during an observing run, while waiting (fruitlessly) for the weather to clear up enough for the telescope to open. 😄 I'm still more of a desktop player overall, but for certain situations I wouldn't give my Deck up for anything. (Now if only I could go back in time and give it to my 10-year-old self…)

Slay the Spire 2 arrives March 5 with 4-player co-op
24 Feb 2026 at 8:38 pm UTC Likes: 2

Slay the Spire co-op is so much fun. I've played a ton of it with mods in the original, and I have the board game version where it's the main focus. Glad to see they went with it in the sequel as the natural development from the original game.

Thoroughly strange dungeon crawler Pluto is all about constructing spells and using your fingers

So like a first-person mashup of Magicka and Noita, huh? Sounds hilarious. I'm just not a big fan of the art style.
