XWVM is a modern Unity engine to play STAR WARS - X-Wing, first Alpha out now

The app requires the player to own and have installation of the original X-Wing game, or have the GOG or Steam versions of X-Wing Special Edition (either the 1993 floppy, the 1994 CD, and/or 1998 Windows edition)
Do I get extra-credit if I have all of those, plus a few minor variants?

Better tell my family goodbye now. I've got some factories to rebuild.

Sony say their PSN account requirement on PC is so you can enjoy their games 'safely'

See, I appreciate this level of concern for the customer.

Sony wants me to use an account in their system for my safety. In return, I don't give them any money to keep them safe from being robbed. We all look out for each other and that makes the world a better place.

Quoting: Liam Dawe
Quoting: TangoBakerThe only thing game recording has ever produced on my steam deck is a black screen. Oddly, it works fine from my desktop.
With Steam or Non-Steam games? Worked fine for me when testing it at the first Beta.
With Steam games. Ironically, posting this actually inspired me to try and find a fix. I found several posts that mentioned having decky loader installed would cause this. I don't remember ever having it installed but I downloaded the installer, installed it and then uninstalled it. No good explanation why but this seemed to fix it.

Ghostrunner 2 - They could have just packaged up everything after the tutorial and told me it was a sequel and I wouldn't have known the difference.

Sony gives up on forcing PlayStation Network for Helldivers 2

Quoting: TimeFreezeI will keep the Negative Review. No one can say that Sony wont try that again in the future.
Ditto. I was willing to forgive the rootkit gameguard stuff because eveyone had good things to say about them but after this, any credit I was willing to extend has been spent. I'll check back in a year or so and see if they've actually stuck to any of this or whether they've just decided to try and slip it by when the heat dies down.

The big hit medieval strategy game Manor Lords works well on Linux
30 Apr 2024 at 8:56 am UTC

It's a good game. A medieval dwarf fortress with less detail and better graphics. Not singularly great right now and not a whole lot that you can't get in other games but it could be more if the dev keeps going.

Just a note, as it stands right now if you play a game with a victory condition, once you win you can't continue in sandbox mode. You get the option but you basically "win" again, every day, complete with final screen and the game rapidly gets unplayable due to all the congratulations.

That's a nice games distribution platform you got there. Be a real shame if somethin' was to, you know, happen to it.
