Quoting: PikoloLegend of Grimrock was realtime, and that's my favourite from the genre

I played Legend of Grimrock (the first one), and I found out that managing a party of four in real-time isn't exactly a pleasant experience, especially since you also have to manage the characters' hunger. Can't remember if there was equipment durability on top of that, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was. I didn't enjoy it at all, and quit after completing the first floor of the game.

However, I've had more fun playing Vaporum and its prequel [External Link], which are both single-character dungeon crawlers.

For party-based ones, I've kinda enjoyed some of Experience Inc's JRPG-like dungeon crawlers. So far, I only tried three of their titles in the genre, Saviors of Sapphire Wings / Stranger of Sword City Revisited [External Link] and Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi [External Link]. On Switch, though. Dunno how the PC versions compare.

I played Legend of Grimrock 1 and 2 and Operencia: The Stolen Sun in coop mode - one person playing the keyboard moving, the second person playing the mouse to do the attacking/switch activation. Happy to see this genre comming back

Legend of Grimrock did not feature equipment degradation - you did have to pull ranged weapon ammo out of the corpses of dead enemies though. I was paranoid about hunger at the beginning too, but all it did was place a limit on how long you could linger to re-try puzzles. In LoG II there were a few areas with re-spawning edible wolves that made food a non-issue

Quoting: williamjcmLooks interesting indeed. And I'm glad they went with turn-based combat. Grid-based dungeon crawlers that are party-based play better when turn-based.

Legend of Grimrock was realtime, and that's my favourite from the genre - we'll see what exactly they mean by turn time.

Quoting: rustigsmedYes - I use Sunshine on a headless vm on my home server, can stream to moonlight my LG tv (with ps5 controller working), phone and of course other pcs. great for remote gaming or editing. Better than steam's remote play with the ability for 120hz and desktop use. Highly recommended.

How does your TV run Moonlight? Do you have a Steam Link dongle?

Quoting: EduAAACool, don't really understand how this helps Linux since game has to be already available for Linux but hope he hmmm, improves Steam Deck compatibility somehow?

a) Moving to newer FNA can bring native Wayland compatibility instead of relying on XWayland
b) Some apps do audio backend detection (pulseaudio/alsa/pipewire) in very fragile ways. It could be made more reliable

I'm sure there is more...

They probably should have two tiers:
1. curated
2. uncurated

A few ideas to flesh out the concept
- only curated snaps can be in classic mode,
- only curated snaps have been reviewed at least once.
- There could be a setting for "view uncurated snaps", which is off by default
- Canonical commit to review the top 5 non-curated apps by install base every month, promoting them to curated if they pass or removing them completely and publishing a security advisory otherwise.
- Apps in the curated store should be re-reviewed randomly and on user reports, to catch apps going to the dark side.

This is because if I'm installing a potentially shady app, it's better if it's sandboxed.
