Mushroom!

But dang this game is too bright, shouldn't require sunglasses... :neutral:

We would also need to know how many cheat attempts were successful. 33 billion perhaps?
We can make up numbers too, EA. :huh:

A public alpha of the 'semi-immutable' Manjaro Summit Linux is now available

"more resistant to user and software error"

Surely Manjaro wouldn't blame its users for the endless issues with this cursed nonsense distro, nor deflect its own responsibility in creating said issues. Just random software issues I guess. Very mysterious. Quite enigmatic. A peculiar conundrum.

Mesa 25.1 will make Indiana Jones: The Great Circle playable on older AMD GPUs

performance is okay even with emulation
Even with a Radeon R9 285, really? Doubt... I'll need a definition of "okay" here. Just getting it running at all is a significant achievement in its own right.

NVIDIA open sourced PhysX and Flow GPU code

I'm not sure what the point is, PhysX has been dead for at least a decade and Nvidia murdered it. Now that they are botching yet another GPU generation with zero stock, massive overpricing, feature deprecation, low VRAM, hyperfocusing on useless AI bullshit and so on... this is rather convenient timing. Well, arguably 7 years too late I suppose.

I don't know man. :huh:

Junk Store plugin for Steam Deck plans new release as closed-source paid software to run other stores

Still waiting for a reply here, not holding my breath.

Many of us are curious how you managed to bundle up all the features of projects like Heroic, Lutris, Bottles, Decky, gogdl, Nile, Legendary etc, without pinching any code from those open source projects who have unimaginable hour counts dwarfing your mentioned 5.5K. Since you closed the source, we're left wondering without ability to know.

How do you meet these concerns?

Free to play toy soldier Battle Royale game Mini Royale enters Early Access

It's getting blasted in the Steam reviews, weak gameplay is the common complaint. Many beta testers are disappointed that so little has improved in the last 12 months and what was promising back then hasn't been realized today. In a gameplay-centric BR title, that spells disaster.
I have doubts the situation can be remedied quickly now when they didn't manage it over the last year. Fingers crossed.

Metal band Voivod are getting an official video game from Chaosmonger Studio

Second screenshot is an interpretation of the album cover for the 1988 release Dimension Hatröss which presumably features Voivod’s mascot cyborg Korgull since the (concept) album is all about him.

Steam Beta improves download speed of Steam Client updates on Linux / Steam Deck and other fixes

I'm not mistaking anything. We are talking about the 'Enable Steam Play for all other titles' toggle which I do not enable. I want the separation.
Removing the feature is a mistake, keeping it has no effect on anything today, and if my previous suggestion of having it enabled by default is implemented then everyone wins.
