eXtremeRate reveal new Steam Deck back shells with interchangeable back buttons
29 Aug 2025 at 5:07 am UTC

They could dramatically simplify by having the backplate pre-assembled (grill, thermal plate, button base), but I guess if your target audience is modding enthusiasts, it makes sense to not do that. Increases support/refund requests, though.

It seems like there is a larger story there regarding itch.io. Is it an isolated dispute, or a more prevalent problem?

There is a 10-15 release that quickly followed, but the changelog is rather uninformative:

Perhaps it was just testing some github automation...

Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster is the next Nightdive Studios release

One of the few original LucasArts games I never played; this one never appealed to me.

SlaveDriver Engine for the Sega Saturn classic shooter PowerSlave gets open sourced

If the DOS version used the Build engine, and the Nightdive version (probably) used their KEX engine, then there's a good chance the data files from neither of those would work with this source release. Happy to be proven wrong, though!

Roblox who don't care about Linux support at all while pretending that they are "testing" it.
Eh? Last I heard, they explicitly check for, and BLOCK, Wine. In other words, they went out of their way to make it NOT work. Is there something else happening now? (Not that I care personally, but it seems to be popular with kids)

you cant look to the side that much ... and still look at the screen
Right; the tech is cool, but I don't see the point. Maybe I just don't see the relevant use cases.

Heretic + Hexen get a definitive re-release with new content from id Software and Nightdive Studios

The new Steam page doesn't give developer credit to Raven, unlike the old pages:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2360/Hexen_Beyond_Heretic/ [External Link]

Raven excelled at taking the id engines, and crafting games with better gameplay.
