Well, yes, but also Sony💀Internet.
They keep alternating between doing things that make me want to give them money and things that make me want to blacklist them 😩

Check out this modern rewrite of the classic racer wipEout

Quoting: Avikarr[...]Check out BallisticNG on Steam! This game is a passion project, spiritual successor of WipeOut and it definitely slaps! [...] Pure labor of love. Devs like these should be supported. Period.
Can confirm! Whenever I fire up wipEout or wipEout 2097 (wipEout XL in the USA) I usually end up switching to BallisticNG after 10 minutes or so once the nostalgia starts wearing off. BallisticNG is just everything I love about the early wipEout games plus so many more conveniences that it really has become the golden standard for anti-grav racing games at this point

Liam you should do a review on this game, it's so fun and unique.

This seems completely unrelated to the article. I suggest you post it in the forum instead.

Steam Deck now the global #1 top seller on Steam

Come to think of it, how's the dock? Or is it better to still get a 3rd party one?
I have both the official one and the first of the upgradeded docks from JSAUX and well, both are good! I honestly can't really find much difference between them, except for in the firmware. The official dock can upgrade its firmware directly from the Steam Deck and it happens pretty seamlessly, while the JSAUX one requires plugging it into a Windows PC - which I probably won't ever do, so I'm using the official one. Plus, the official fits the dbrand Killswitch case just slightly more securely (with the dbrand adapter, that is).

The one with an M.2 slot does look pretty inviting though, so if you have a need for that extra storage, I'd recommend it.

Valve appear to be banning games with AI art on Steam (updated)

Interesting, especially considering that High On Life is still up for sale, despite containing AI generated film posters. I'm not saying anything for or against the decision, but I'd like to know what kind of evidence they require to ascertain that the publisher has "adequate rights", especially since High On Life used MidJourney, which - from what I know - doesn't really provide such information.

DevilutionX continues improving classic Diablo and Hellfire

Quoting: Cyril
Quoting: slaapliedjeI'm hoping Diablo 2 eventually gets the same treatment. Mainly because playing it on one of my Amigas would just be sweet.

You don't how hard I'm crossing my fingers for this!
Also... Diablo II would run on Amiga?!
I think slaapliedje's referring to the modern-day Amiga port of DevilutionX. I'm pretty certain it requires a very beefed up Amiga (RTG card + accelerator), not just a stock one. I'm using a Vampire-equipped A500 myself, so I'm never quite sure what that translates to in period-accurate terms.

Steam gets overhauled with new overlay, Steam Deck big stable update

Quoting: CybolicAh, I was hoping they'd have fixed the Store/Web view going black when switching windows, before labelling it as stable. Maybe next update.

I used to get this all the time on Gnome, but now that you mention it, Ive not had it at all since jumping over to KDE, so maybe it a compositor bug.

I've been using the beta of this for a few months now and can't recall seeing anything like that, what exactly did you do to trigger it?
Any time I switch to a different workspace / virtual desktop than the one Steam is on, the Store page contents area is black when I come back. As my workflow is heavily workspace oriented, it's fairly annoying.
It's actually not related to my compositor (picom) as it happens whether it's running or not, so it's something in the way my WM (bspwm) handles switching workspaces, but Steam is also the only application that shows this behaviour.

Steam Deck OS update brings graphics driver fixes - ready up for SteamOS 3.5
2 June 2023 at 10:46 am UTC

Okay, I know this is not a realistic reply, but I really do wish the next update brings a redesign of the individual game pages. Every time I browse through my games, I have to either click through to the community page or the store page on each and every game, in order to remember what kind of game I'm looking at.
Something closer to EmulationStation, with a couple of screenshots of the game, would be immensely helpful in wading through large libraries!

Halls of Torment is out in Early Access - a great fusion of Diablo and Vampire Survivors

Quoting: bekoOdd. Can't click "Like". Ajax fails with internal server error: sql error :/
Same here on both Firefox and Vivaldi on all pages for the past couple of hours. The response headers seem to point at something with CloudFlare, but that might be irrelevant.

Anyway, game looks very cool; love the aesthetics and the native Linux version!
