Humble Choice for July 2025 has Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader, Death's Door and more hits
4 Jul 2025 at 10:35 am UTC Likes: 1

Another thing to note and make users or possible customers aware of might be that now ALL items/keys have an expiry date beginning with this bundle (in the strong assumption that this is not a one time exclusive):

Must be redeemed by July 1st, 2026 by 10:00 AM Pacific Time.

Where previously this was only done for selected titles (probably where the publisher forced them to do) but now it appears to be their.. choice?

Humble Choice is getting another price increase

First they charge more money and now with the latest bundle from today (1st July) ALL items/keys have an expiry date:

Must be redeemed by July 1st, 2026 by 10:00 AM Pacific Time.
Sick move. Previously this only happend for selected titles probably where the publisher forced them to do but now it appears to be their.. wait for it.. choice?

I wonder if this is against the law (at leats in the EU) to just take away things from you that you actually bought.

Amazon Luna and Electronic Arts sign a multi-year deal, as Luna expands into more countries
28 Mar 2025 at 7:30 pm UTC

Wonder if they'll keep up with the stupid decision to not just offer the luna app on google playstore so even if you have prime you need a fire<whatever> device for your (android) tv to be able to stream luna. You can sideload the apk but come on, really?

NVIDIA 550.40.07 Beta driver released with fixes for VRR and Wayland

Does that mean Forza Horizon 5 finally works on Linux with NVIDIA?

MONSTER HUNTER RISE adds new DRM that breaks it on Steam Deck (UPDATED)

I was just about to get the DLC for Monster Hunter World, but no interest in buying it and a week later the game gets patched with this bs drm as well.

Note to myself: Don't buy Dragon's Dogma 2 (or any other title) from this marvellous company.

Pillars of Eternity from Obsidian has a new patch coming nearly 9 years after release

But we still have no cloaks on the Linux version as the middleware "Shroud" that got used for the cloth simulation obviously still wasn't ported in the new patch right?

A bummer as the kickstarter stated Linux from the go after/when hitting the 1,6M stretch goal which it did.

Edit: Took me to long to write as @beko above was 5minutes faster than me :grin:

Here's the top Steam Deck games for December 2023

DAVE THE DIVER when docked (with the Steam Deck Dock on the TV) and Halls of Torment in Handheld mode, and half-through with Chained Echoes that I sadly didn't touch for a while now. On the desktop lately sunk some hours into Against the Storm. I can recommend all of them.

I have so many games and many of them looked into for some hours but can't get myself to commit myself to going through one of the *big* ones considering how much time you've to put into it and I'd like to enjoy it without disturbance, where are the good ol' days when this was possible? :cry: Or is it just a false memory. And often when you're excited for a big new release it's better to wait ~1 year before even touching it to get the final full product, which takes all the excitement out of it. But maybe all of these are just my personal issues and first world problems.

Plasma 6 full steam ahead with only one showstopper left for Wayland by default
27 Nov 2023 at 2:21 pm UTC

Not exclusive to Plasma 6 and I welcome it so I might finally be able to switch to Wayland since with Plasma/Qt 5 fractional scaling on 2K is currently a mess on a Wayland Plasma 5 session. However I'm looking forward to have a painless Wayland experience in the future and not having to deal with fallout like Steam In-home Streaming not working with Wayland: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/6148 [External Link] I welcome Wayland but sadly it's not there yet for many things which worries me a lot once X11 will stop working and you're forced to use Wayland.

Baldur's Gate 3 out now and works on Steam Deck and desktop Linux

Specific details would've been nice about what actual

or rather is problematic?

Grounded 1.2 out now and Steam Deck Verified but desktop Linux needs a small fix
25 Apr 2023 at 7:00 pm UTC Likes: 5

Yea nice ... The same "fix" they use(d) for Pentiment, shipping an extra depot on Steam Deck with a 0kb SpeechSynthWrapper.dll: https://steamdb.info/depot/962134/ [External Link]. Wonderful times for the Linux Desktop seeing vendors implementing Steam Deck specific hacks.

Update: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/wine/pull/188 [External Link]

Update 2: Still glad seeing vendors actually caring for the Steam Deck though, didn't want to sound more negative than intended, I just don't like the trend we're seeing here.
