Microsoft wins against FTC to buy Activision Blizzard

Every fibre in my body should be against it... But Activision is so terrible, it can't get any worse. They are even selling products that do not work anymore like multiplayer in COD World at War. Not to speak of neglecting all the old MPs to be riddled with hackers, never giving proper discounts on decade old games.

Let the circus begin.

Valve release new stable update for Steam Deck and desktops

Steam on i3 has been quite wonky since the UI update. Drop down menus basically don't work anymore. I cannot sort my wishlist, clicking on the sections in the drop-down does nothing. It's the same when right-clicking on an owned game in the library. Electron is lovely.

Still seem pretty interesting as it expands the wards, so you can build your children even more. :)

It seems like people are having fun with it. From reviews, it seems like it currently does not have a party system... So I'll wait to check it out until that arrives.

Dota 2: The New Frontiers Update is out and it's huge

Quoting: 14I had succumbed to the idea that I don't spend enough time in Dota 2 to get good enough to enjoy it anymore, so I've had updates on pause in Steam and only update it before big tournaments so I can watch them within the game client. I've turned spectator only. However, I will have to try these new changes!
They've really turned things upside down. I finally reached a point where I got some good game knowledge and became somewhat decent. :D Going to be exciting to try this out!! Good luck! :)

FINALLY!!!! :D :D :D :D

Since Tripwire seems to not care at all, I have been waiting so long for this! Thanks, Valve, for free Linux support. :D

Quoting: officerniceKinda miss their old designs with more green to it. It had a more distinctive character. Now it's just black and bland.
You have a point, although that stuff never matters much to me--I always swap the wallpaper pretty quick, usually to some pleasant pic from a vacation--something with greenery and maybe a castle or something.
For people that are already into Linux it is no problem. However, I think it was more visually appealing before to newcomers with a fresh green theme which is somewhat uncommon. It sticks out, just like Ubuntu.
