Quoting: officerniceYet Dota 2 still does not show up in my library when it is not installed even though I poured 290 hours into it.
Team Fortress 2 is the one I've noticed; the Steam page says "already in your Steam library" but the Valve Complete Pack section on the page says it's the one item I don't have. The Add to Account button there results in an error message.

I was a bit hesitant since I already had most of the games, but the fact I could allocate a huge chunk to GOL helped me decide to go for it. :)

"the works of classic film noir from Shakespeare"? I wasn't aware the bard produced any films.

Quoting: dos> Reduce space used by game prefixes if filesystem supports copy on write.
Oh, that's something Deck users are going to like.
I don't think Steam Deck supports it? If I understand correctly, it uses ext4.

Quoting: jarhead_hGenuinely never thought Sony would ever greenlight this. They could have recycled this for PS5 exclusivity and still had a lot of sales. Maybe they are just testing the waters?
These are very popular games, that have been heavily discounted on Playstation for quite some time:

I'm sure they are happy making lots of money selling them at high prices again. :)

Quoting: BeamboomSupposedly this is a really good Spiderman game (according to both reviews and user reviews alike), so this is great news indeed.
I loved it on Playstation 4. Gameplay is *very* similar to Batman Arkham games.

Humble Choice has The Ascent, Hot Wheels Unleashed, A Plague Tale: Innocence

Quoting: mark348A Plague Tale is a great game, definitely try it
That's the main one that looked interesting this month, but since I already have it, I think this month is a skip for me.

Stealth-action game Republique is now FREE and Steam Deck Verified

I remember when this was on Kickstarter! Passed on it since they couldn't promise Linux support, although it did look interesting. So, I was curious to see what they had made since their "first game" - and found nothing on Steam?

Checking their website, it seems they made an Iron Man VR game for Playstation, so not a lot more as of yet.

Linux 5.19 is out now, Torvalds released it using an Apple silicon MacBook

Quoting: damarrinI do have a 2019 Intel MBP. It's barely useable with Linux
Apparently, it's barely usable with Windows, either. My boss is an Apple fan, but has to use Windows for development work. He had to give up on using an Apple laptop, as the thermal throttling made it barely functional. It also doesn't have the Intel TPM for BitLocker support, as they opted for their own security chip.

The Humble Amazing Adventures Bundle has some gems in it

Quoting: BumadarDreamfall chapters, at least for me.
I can highly recommend both that one and Quern - Undying Thoughts; most of the rest are wishlist items for me. One of the best Humble bundles in a long time, from my view!
