Looks like a more engaging and less monotonous/repetitive Valheim, count me in!

Why some games on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck have broken videos and what you can do
11 Aug 2025 at 4:17 pm UTC

I'm more curious why the video trailers on the Steam store are broken for me, have been for a while. Specifically, they work when in their default framed state, but freeze up in fullscreen and turning the monitor gray and glitchy...

A most unhelpful response.

Next-generation brick building sandbox Brickadia is out with Linux / Steam Deck support

The main difference is that LEGO minifigures have rounded heads and a block attachment point on the scalp for hats/hair. Hands are squared here too, but that's pretty subtle.

I think it's perfectly fine as it is since the focus seems to be on custom block shapes and a very fluid physics engine.

@pb Are you referring to the design that LEGO bought from Kiddicraft (originally straight copied with permission) and turned into Automatic Binding Bricks? They're just blocks that fit together, and the blocky characters "fit" with the theme of the blocks themselves. Minecraft does the same, blocky characters for blocky building bricks.

Ultra 9 275HX

And yea similarly speced laptops go for about that much.

This has the 5070 but with a 16" screen, Adder only has the 5070 in 17" for an extra $300. Let's knock off $100, at least, to hypothetically make it a 16" and the prices are suddenly pretty competitive. Worth it though for proper Linux support for the lifetime of the device.

@Stella How many hardware vendors do you know offer lifetime support, provide detailed documentation on the internal configuration, actively engage with the community, collaborate with said community in an open source nature, and are located in the US?

They're pricey but worth it IMO.

Some tips:

  • During each run try to focus on a single strategy for your spells/skills. Damage over time, auras, big AOEs, projectiles, etc. Try to stick to upgrades that benefit your those skills the most. Like increasing projectile size is impressive, but not particularly effective IMO, it's better to increase attack speed and piercing ability.

  • If you're looking to just have fun and screw around then at the end of each level choose whatever portal you want, but if you want to progress quicker always choose the blue portal. Claiming your rewards, applying them to permanent upgrades, unlocking new characters and spells, then starting a new level with a higher Curse rating will net you far more resources than picking the red or yellow portals again and again, those 2 have linear returns as difficulty rises exponentially.

  • And lastly, I recommend finding 1 to 3 characters you enjoy the most and play them exclusively. You'll earn resources, especially the rarer ones, considerably faster than if you spread your time between a handful of options, and you'll unlock more achievements to unlock more characters quicker too.
