GOG finally remove the false "in progress" note about GOG Galaxy for Linux

Save game synchronization is a really useful feature you don't get without Galaxy. So it is a downside for me. Do any of the community clients synchronize save games with GoGs servers?

That is great! Into the Breach did not get the same reception as FTL, but it is a good game. Looking forward to playing the new units and challenges!

It's tough since USB-PD only goes up to 100W currently but that should change soon with the new spec.
I understand some machines consume too much power to have USB-C charging as their only option for now. But even when it's a additional charger it's useful - my gaming laptop has a 150W barrel charging port, but can game for about 3 hours(1h on battery alone) when topped up by a 65W USB-C charger, so I can play in bed without moving the main charger.

Canonical going 'all in' on gaming for Ubuntu, new Steam Snap package in testing

Steam as a snap package? That is very unwelcome - I hate applications updating behind my back. Mozilla provide an official Firefox PPA, but I hope Canonical don't mess with the Steam APT package.

Unity games crashing with Proton on Linux or Steam Deck? Check your USB devices

I wonder if that's a Wine regression, or something Proton changed

Europa Universalis IV Complete Collection available on Humble Bundle
24 Mar 2022 at 2:02 pm UTC

Never played EUIV. Is it playable on small screens? I've found CKII unplayable due to tiny interface elements, even with interface scaling set to 150%, on a 1080p 13.3' screen

Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard

Quoting: PikoloThis is sad news. Not that Activision Blizzard is a good company or anything, but Microsoft is already way too large. I hope antimonopoly regulations prevent this from going through.
your propic is familiar where is this from?
I've made my profile picture myself. I used it on my YouTube channel a few years back(not publishing videos anymore) and as my avatar in a few games and forums.
