Fanatical has Play On The Go Summer Bundle for Steam Deck

To quote my own forum post:
Then I also bought both Showcase Bundle 2 and the BYOB with the remastered Metro Reduxes (only got the original versions before), Grand Mountain Adventure, City of Beats and Gunlocked.
I've only played Grand Mountain Adventure for 20 minutes. Seems to be a lot of fun although I'm not a fan of real life skiing and mostly not a racing game fan.

I don't remember the name specifically, but that's sad nonetheless.

This is because Unity 3D does not support a reversed z-buffer on OpenGL or Vulkan (or DirectX9).
That explains a lot. But why!?

File browser menus now have an OK button (at last!).
Woohoo. That was so annoyingly inconsistent.

Quoting: Loftyits why i moved to Arch, i just haven't had a good time adding 'after market' post install newer Mesa and kernal versions to Mint without some degree of eventual problem.
Yes. In my long experience with Arch on multiple computers is that you have to do the least amount of fiddling in the long run (unless something really bad happens like the premature switch to KDE 3 – I'm really bad at remembering numbers). That was a horrible experience since that update killed everything desktop related.

I even switched from 32bit to 64bit on a running system without an issue.

Quoting: PhlebiacLooks like it's just a coupon for a discount on it.
You're absolutely right. I wonder how I missed that.

Is it me or is it a bit too early for Tyrant's Blessing to be in a bundle?

Quoting: usrtrvLooks like they released some of the source code: https://github.com/id-Software/quake2-rerelease-dll [External Link]
Quoting: ShmerlLooks like source code for it is out too!
That's just the code for the game dll – needed to make/update mods. Remember that Quake had the game code executed in a vm and then Quake 2 switched back to native code.

Quoting: scaineFrom the screenshots, it looks like the enemy models have been updated too?
It's hard to tell since on all screenshots above the enemies are quite a bit away from the player. The German version of the Steam page mentions polished models.

Quoting: ReyoldIt's also been reworked to run on modern OS's. I tried the DRM-free version from Humble Bundle and it runs without the need for 32-bit libraries.
That's probably the switch from Haxe/OpenFL to Haxe/Unity that happened in March (?).
