I'm quite excited for the Starship Troopers: Extermination single-player

I fear this is going to be a bug fest.

VR game streaming tool ALVR adds PipeWire support on Linux
9 Jul 2024 at 3:30 am UTC

Unfortunately I haven't had much luck with ALVR + Quest 2 yet. When I try to play SteamVR games it does run kind of smoothly but whenever I turn my head the movement is very stuttery and makey any game unplayable for me. No matter if WiFi or usb-c connected.
My last test was last year though, maybe I should give it another try.

Personally, I really like card based gameplay.
If you don't like it just play something else.

Castle Game Engine building up towards a huge new release

Thanks for bringing it up. Haven't looked at Castle GE for a long time. Nice to see it still exists.
Even though Pascal is not so popular anymore, it is still a very nice and powerful programming language. It's inventor is basically the father of the .Net languages. Pascal is just way more cross platform than the Microsoft stuff.

Pretty fun game indeed.
Only complain is that it gets hard to differentiate between the player, minions and enemies when the screen gets crowded with enemies, bullets and flames.

Nice wouldn't have thought this would happen.
But there is also still Enigma-Dev as a reimplementation of Game Maker.

Ubisoft are keeping an eye on the Steam Deck, will release on it if it's big enough
21 Jul 2021 at 5:53 am UTC

Quoting: CreakThey'll only port on platform that are already selling millions (Nintendo, PlayStation, Microsoft), they don't have the luxury to believe in something and I think this is a shame.
Exactly this. Imagine Ubisoft and other big publishers would wait until the PS6 or next gen Microsoft console sold millions before starting to publish some games for it. There would be no way for the new console to be a success.
Good thing that Valve already has the existing games that run on the Deck. A PS6 that would only run PS5 games at launch would probably have a hard time.

itch.io has a huge bundle going to support 'Racial Justice and Equality'

Awesome bundle with lots of games I haven't heard before. Pity that I won't be able to play them all, there are probably lots of unknown gems in the bundle.
Steam Marines 1+2, Odd realm, Nuclear Throne and others have been on my wish list for quite some time now.

Found a video series on YouTube that shows some gameplay of games in the bundle:
Part 1 [External Link]
Part 2 [External Link]
Part 3 [External Link]
Part 4 [External Link]
Part 5 [External Link]
Part 6 [External Link]
Part 7 [External Link]
(Takes just a couple of hours to watch :wink:)

EDIT:
Added part 6+7
