Wine 7.18 rolls out with Unicode 15 support

I really wondered why someone would run KeePassXC via Wine when there is a native version but I guess it makes sense if it's used in combination with a Windows program in the same environment|bottle 🤔

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw and some reflection on Steam Reviews

Quoting: MacPoedelI don't agree with this dogma that all pc games should work with mouse and keyboard. Especially for flight games, mouse and keyboard lack degrees of freedom to properly control a plane or spacecraft.
I generally agree. In this particular case tho… RGO does only support a gamepad (singular!) so that is really half-**** support for anything else _beside_ KBM. So in this very particular case the critics on controls are very legit no matter what type of input is used. For me the joy only started when I managed to bind my X52 into that game via external tools.

Hey @anewson - utter space pew pew nerd here I like that game a lot _and_ I play it on my X52 Pro :woot:

Got it on GoG so there is no Steam Input in that. It's a wild mix of virtual Gamepad (with MoltenGamepad) and AntimicroX to act as keyboard input. Works like a charm tho :grin:

It made the rounds and at least one dev is going to poke at it this weekend and see what can be used for Pioneer Space Simulator.

Steam Racing Fest is now live until May 30th with a mini-trivia game

Can add now:

  • Fly Dangerous [External Link] 100% off (cuz it's free and will always be - oh and it's opensource)


Steam threw a wrench into the planned release date so it only popped up today and not at the start of the Racing Fest.

X4: Foundations 5.00 gets a Beta with AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR)

Quoting: noctHas anyone had luck with FSR on Linux? I tried it on the weekend, but when I enable FSR it loads for a while and resets my setting. I'm running Pop OS and have a RTX 3070 if that makes a difference, but from what I read FSR should also work on nvidia cards.

Anyways, fantastic game, I recommend this to everyone who likes space games and simulations.
Didn't try it yet but yeah, fantastic game. Sunk many hours into this.

Get a fresh up close and personal look at the Steam Deck with Hellish Quart

Quoting: bekoOh wow. Why didn’t my HEMA bubble tell me about this before?

That’s freakin awesome - for a game!
Skallagrim did at least one video covering Hellish Quart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmtuab65yHM [External Link]
Heh, thx. Didn't watch Skal in years (and also revoked my Patreon sub - dude gets enough and really didn't need my few bucks so I felt the money better used for some smaller artist). Mebbe I should catch up sometimes.
