Quoting: GroganP.S. Here's one that at least has some substance:

The second answer to that review basically tells you all that you need to know about the target audience of the game
not reading all that lil bro, the game is fine and you're just bad at it
So in this case I don't think writing real reviews is worth it – especially as I assume that they will all be removed anyway.

Check out this modern rewrite of the classic racer wipEout

Quoting: Calinoubut it doesn't have native Linux support and source code isn't available.
I'm not a huge fan of people using github to host something without any source code.

What's interesting is that the linked article even mentions
I'm not the only one who embarked on a path to restore the game. To my knowledge, there are two other efforts ongoing: WipEout Phantom Edition and a yet unnamed project by XProger. Both offer more features than my rewrite. If you're on Windows and you just want to enjoy the game, these are the better option.

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.

Heart of the Machine from Arcen Games dropping Native Linux for Proton

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.

Linux Mint planning new 'EDGE' ISO, plus Linux Mint 21.3 due in December

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.

Humble has a new bundle with Jupiter Hell, Coromon, Songs of Conquest

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?

Quake II Remastered shadow dropped, Playable on Steam Deck

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.
