Toaplan Arcade Shoot ‘Em Up Collection Vol.3 is example of how to do retro right

Capcom Arcade Stadium is now Steam Deck verified.

1942 and Commando can both be stretched to fill up the screen. Almost makes it feel like you are playing on the C64.

Think some of the sequels to 1942 can be played this way.

Have also been enjoying Skyforce and Skyforce Reloaded. Both vertical shooters.

So I have a wide screen monitor and my gaming experience gets reduced to a narrow vertical bar up the centre. If you can let me stretch the horizontal axis I am in. I grew up with the C64 version of 1942 and that is how I like my vertical scrollers.

Unfortunately not enough in this category on Linux or anything else.

Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode to be more approachable for new players

In the original there's three modes Peasant, Hero, and Demigod and they're going to tweak them so that the "Demigod" mode gives players more instructions and ongoing help - more like a tutorial mode.
Was that tutorial mode going to be built into Demigod mode, or peasant mode?

Adding it to Demigod mode seems a little counter productive.

Might have to give this another go. When I first tried this game I could not work out how to navigate the menus for gardening plots and food production. Was able to get into many money making endeavours, but rich and starving did not work for too long.

So, Elite Dangerous, Project Cars 2 and Project Cars 3 all now playable on Steam Linux and Steam Deck..

Cool!

Now if Steam Linux would not insist on swapping my X button and Square button on my Astro C40 controller I would be happy.
:dizzy:

Quoting: gradyvuckovicMeanwhile Australians just sitting around waiting for Valve to remember we exist..
Steam probably got in discussion with EB Games months ago. And EB Games are deadlocked on terms and conditions that are not acceptable to Valve.

Would not surprise me.

EU court upholds fine against Valve for geo-blocking

What is wrong with setting a price at a level that is affordable to people in a lower economic block / region.

Something that is available to everyone in the UK or France and Germany is only available to the wealthy in the Baltic states?

I thought the EU was a democracy?

Or am I reading this wrong..

Yep, think I read it wrong. :)

Proton 8.0-4 is now in testing with a Release Candidate

I think 70% to 80 of my Steam Library now works on Linux.

Any games out there that people are getting impatient for Valve to find a fix for??

(not including the anti cheat stuff here as I have pretty much given up on them)

What is the status of WLRoots with the proprietary Nvidia drivers?

Fedora always stuffs me up royally here.
Never worked out if it was a Fedora thing or a
WLRoots thing.

And No…
Nouveau Is not an option.
