Intel announced their Arc B-Series GPUs and XeSS 2, the day after CEO Pat Gelsinger retires

"Retired" is the PR spin; the board forced him out. It's also been said these are likely the last discrete GPUs, as Intel is looking to cut costs, and it will take a lot more investment for them to actually compete.

One of the better selections in recent months, in my opinion.

Action-platformer metroidvania Janosik 2 will be a 'bigger, bolder adventure' launching December 9

Quoting: PikoloGOG shows Janosik 2 with only Windows support - odd
Not that unusual; apparently GOG makes it extra difficult to support Linux on their store.

Looks like their last game was also free (and positively reviewed, although not very noticed):

Am I missing a hidden business model here? The new game looks rather polished for a hobby project...

Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer announced and there's a demo available

I also enjoyed their other game, Whispers of a Machine. I think I played the original Kathy Rain not long before the Director's Cut was announced... might have to play that version as a refresher before playing the new one. :grin:

Give your Steam Deck a refreshed look with these new Razer skins

Seems awfully expensive for some vinyl. Do they not mess with the tactility of the touchpads? As mentioned by others, I'm sure I would mess it up and get some bubbles in there... :grin:

Steam getting proper Season Pass support with clearer guidelines and refunds for cancellations
22 Nov 2024 at 5:15 am UTC

A complete list of all DLC included in the Pass. (i.e. listing each of the four DLCs included in a Pass).
Seems like an odd thing to specify "four", unless that's a really common thing? Are there a lot of games that release quarterly updates these days, and sell those as "season passes"? Must be online multiplayer games, as I'm not familiar with that at all.

Edit: also meant to say: seems like some of this is meant to automate things (like refunds for canceled portions) and take some load off of Steam support.

Steam Controller 2 is apparently a thing and being 'tooled for a mass production' plus a new VR controller

Codename for Steam Controller 2 is “Ibex”
Looks like that lucky fellow can scratch his own butt, unlike most other four-legged creatures.

I guess we can't tweak the donation slider to increase the amount sent to GoL any more. :sad:
