Armored Core VI will be 'fully supported' on Steam Deck

Quoting: ThibugAlready pre-ordered it on Fanatical (I know, pre-order bad).
Yes, pre-order bad.
But so far, FromSoft hasn't missed, so there's that.

I'm still waiting because I never played any Armored Core game, so I just don't know if it would be the kind of game I'd like.

Dolphin Emulator devs give up on Steam release
23 Jul 2023 at 7:51 am UTC

All is well that ends well?

Honestly, this was never going to successfully end up on Steam. Would've been lucky with any emulation, but against Nintendo and its inane stance on emulation, there was never a chance.

But if they get to keep some of the improvements and managed to clear up the key situation, that's a win.

It's also slightly hilarious that a game about bums and toilets, helped find an issue with a colon

More looking forward towards IWD2 in GemRB, as that is the one game that truly needs some love on modern & future machines.

One big corporation I have no love for swallowing another I feel the same way about.

Since I (mostly) care about indies nowadays anyway, they can eat each other up all they want.

Fedora considering adding in 'privacy-preserving' telemetry

Quoting: omer666I think privacy advocacy may be going a little over the top on this subject.
That's what they usually do, so yes.

Really, this seems very beneficial and absolutely harmless.

Oof the opening of the trailer just gave me flashbacks to Spore....... *shudders*
I get that.

Spore, even decades later, still evokes that feeling of terrible disappointment and utterly wasted potential.

No wonder it took so long until someone even dared to try make another attempt.

Overkill drops Linux support for PAYDAY 2

Quoting: GuestProton totally nuked this concept.
Not really.
That's still the best way by far to do cross-platform development.

Sandtrix is Tetris with sand - delightful, free and renamed after a DMCA

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt's funny, part of the Tetris resemblance is actually pointless from a gameplay perspective. I mean, as far as I can tell it doesn't matter much what shape the things are coming down because they just turn into sand on contact, so they could just be blobs (narrower and taller or wider and flatter) coming down and it would work the same. But they use the Tetris shapes just for the evocation of Tetris-ness.
