Steam Achievement Manager 'SamRewritten' has a new release
26 May 2020 at 4:19 pm UTC

This is quite nice actually, maybe I'll actually finally fix the Portal 1 achievement that's been broken for me since release.

I've unlocked the achievement for beating all the advanced maps, also the one for beating four advanced maps, but not the one for two advanced maps.
And as I've already beaten them all I have no non-cheating way of getting the achievement, the game code doesn't actually allow it.

Steampunk first-person, base building survival game 'Volcanoids' gets co-op on May 20

Played through a few of their earlier releases, and the game is great fun - with a spot-on artstyle too. I can't imaging that adding co-op will be detrimental in any way.

Ashes actually did run really well on Proton when I played it last year with a friend, tried out all of the co-op maps they had made.

The AI in the game can be really ruthless if you don't take it seriously.

Been playing through and finishing off Assassins Creed: Odyssey, runs great with Proton.
It's a beautiful game, and with the Steam Controller it's a joy to play too, it's just a bit sad that their UI messes up rather badly if you try to use a proper mouse config for aiming - so I'm making do with a mouse-like joystick.

FS2 Open for playing Freespace 2 on modern systems had a big update

Quoting: NeoTheFoxOh nice, I've been sitting on this game for a while now. It's one of the best games to play with a Joystick/HOTAS setup, to this day even. Guess that's my queue to finish it.

And I suggest having a playthrough of the Blue Planet campaign afterwards, definitely one of the best community campaigns you'll find, especially War in Heaven has some amazing missions and story. (Including missions where you get to fly capital ships)

2.5D multiplayer military shooter 'Soldat 2' announced - yes it's a proper sequel

This brings back so many memories.

I really enjoyed the original Soldat, especially how the map editing had been designed in that game. Was a real pleasure drawing custom maps with the polygonal design tools.
Hopefully Soldat 2 will offer map creation capabilities too, even if I guess they'll have to be a bit more intricate.

Logitech Steering Wheel manager pyLinuxWheel has a big new release out

Nice, hopefully it'll work better than Oversteer for me, that one just kept coming up with odd error messages at strange moments for me.

Atari VCS going through 'Engineering Validation Testing' on the road to release

I'm really happy about the sight of an empty full-sized M2 slot there on the board, as well as upgradable RAM, bodes well for the use of the VCS as an HTPC as well.

Quoting: ShmerlIs it using lxc?

It sounds from their blog post like they're using bubblewrap - or possibly even Flatpak. (which would also mean bubblewrap)

The Automation update for Volcanoids adds some serious new toys to play with

Played quite a bit, and I'm really enjoying the entire artstyle and the gameplay itself.

I'm sure co-op would fit the game great, though I'm a bit worried that it will take it a bit too far in the 'easy' direction. Didn't have that much of a challenge when I played it last, though the added drilling minigame did help that slightly by offering more incentives for you to take risks.
