Wonderful news... Thanks AI /s

Hope this bubble will burst soon enough and things can return to normal.
Lets hope everyone who has their current PCs, don't run into any issues that they need to buy new SSDs/nvmes or RAM before the prices will get back to normal levels.

No problems, so nothing in the changelog for me and nothing to really wait in the future except once the vulkan extension for descriptor_heap thing gets actually released and the driver with it comes out. DX12(vkd3d-proton) perf improvement thingy

Growth with Bazzite, Mint and Cachy shows that there are lots of new users joining i guess. Since those are distros i see recommended the most on the interwebs

Quoting: JarmerWhat's the general consensus here on the AI usage inside Arc Raiders?
I don't know whats called general consesus here, but i'm personally fine if its used for enemy AI behaviour training, or as tool to automate some things and is not really coming up as sloppy art replacement in a game

Nice. I guess this game will make more sense for Steam Machine, when it arrives.
I have been playing over 35 hours now and im addicted. So many tense and random moments in this game that makes every play super unique and fun.

Valve put up a new Steam Linux Runtime 4.0 with a move towards 64-bit
21 Nov 2025 at 5:34 am UTC

In ideal world 32bit support should have been dropped like at least 10 years ago, but at the same time, if its needed for compatibility for legacy applications/games then, yeah, just don't break things that someone might still want to use.
wine wow64 has been pretty good lately, but iirc there are still some issues running 32bit things on 64bit environments and whats the state with old native 32bit games i wonder, can those be run in pure 64bit mode now?

Megabonk from vedinad has withdrawn from The Game Awards 2025

Sorry, but does anyone even care about Game Awards really?
The real award for the developers is when their game is enjoyed by people.

Just random selection of games into arbitrary categories and pick the winner doesn't really chime with me.
I never understood the awards thing tbh. Might be just me problem ofc.

Assetto Corsa Rally has arrived in Early Access - should work well on Linux / Steam Deck

Added to wishlist. It looks promising, but currently its more like a tech demo imo. Only 10 cars and 2 rally locations with just 2 stages with 6 slices of those in the game, watersplashes, puddles physics are not in yet either.
will see when it gets more developed, but at the moment there doesnt seem to be much content.

ARC Raiders is expanding with a new map but first a multi-phase event to unlock it

Completed the resources. I wonder what rewards we will get with that? merit points or whatever.
Honestly haven't had that much fun playing multiplayer game for a while. Never been into Extraction games before either.
But this game just oozes with atmosphere and amazing gameplay.
