Modding-friendly arcade racer Formula Legends is out now - works well on Linux / Steam Deck
18 Sep 2025 at 5:42 pm UTC

I was quite looking forward to this, but didn't realise it's single player. The only way/time I'll play a racing game is with one of my two online groups of pals, so I'll give this a miss, I'm afraid.

Looks great though. If I had more enthusiasm for racing games, I'd be pleased this existed, since many of the more recent options are just incredibly technical.

For some reason I'm getting a Gunpoint vibe from this, which is definitely a good thing.

Pretty sure this is the second time Valve have had to fix Dune's shitty launcher complaining about GPU drivers.

Launchers should just be banned on Steam.

I'd have bought this in a heartbeat. But Denuvo strikes again.

Every necromancer ever. Every turret. Every mobility summon in open-game worlds. Any form of tower-defence summon.

Wild. Nintendo really are the fucking worst.

I bought a WASDkeyboard, 10 keyless, cherry brown, imported from the States back in 2020, so I'm not a great example of "what to do when you want to avoid proprietary bullshit". Sorry.

I notice that wasdkeyboards.com has recently gone out of business [External Link] too, which is a real shame. They weren't cheap, but they're brilliantly made. I recently removed every key for a big clean. Absolutely solid construction. I loved that you choose the colour layout when purchasing, and the cherry on the cake was being able to choose an alternative logo for your "windows" key.

I went very understated:

This looks both awful, and also weirdly compelling!

Same old story - whenever you consider that a prominent (but usually ethically bereft) entrepreneur is successful because of their skill and commitment, you later discover it's largely just simple nepotism, privilege or luck. Gates, Jobs, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, it's just endless.

Often it's a combination of all three.

The Destiny 2 bundle is 60% off in Steam, at £60. I'd pay that INSTANTLY, if I could actually play the game on my Linux PC. I'd love to hear a coherent reason from Bungie management on why I can't. Absolutely baffling.

It's tagged with online co-op, so I'd have been interested in this. But nope, pass. Plenty more where that came from.
