Quoting: Linux_RocksCrimson Skies kicks ass. 🏴‍☠️

I had no idea it was released on platforms other than Xbox :shock:

Quoting: win8linuxApparently VKontakte will be using Dagor as a basis for their Nau Engine, at least if Google Translate’s camera translation of this video are accurate:

Guessing that Dagor was opened up so that code transfer could happen without violating sanctions. Whatever the reason, at least we got a AAA game engine open-sourced in the process.

Interesting. Possibly for military simulation purposes as well? I would be wary of making any contributions towards this engine. The company is pretty much pro-russia, even if its HQs are not there. Some say this game (and its forums) is almost an intelligence operation, besides buffing Russian tech in-game. Maybe it's all bull-derivative products, but I would not risk it in that context.

Sorry for the politically colored rant (they started it first!), I would have been much more excited about this a couple years ago, and I am glad it's now open rather than not.

Thanks for the answer Liam ! I run a few servers at home, but GoL is at another scale entirely!

Quoting: EikeThere's no change without some regression...

Despite having the option to keep me logged in enabled, I have to relogin every session on my phone. Unlike with the old system.

That sounds weird, I didn't even have to login again 🤔

Quoting: t3gWith the recent interest in gyro and improving the SteamVR experience, maybe we get that dedicated VR headset soon? 🤔

A new controller with the Deck button layout? please :D

I had an idea that I think would be kind of cool: imagine if they modularize inputs on the Steam Deck. Make every input shaped the same way, attached via magnets and pogo pins. You could swap around a joystick and a touchpad, put the directional pad on the right, or double the number of buttons. It may not be worth the additional cost and complexity but would be very neat.

Quoting: GroganMy non-gaming system is a custom from-scratch build, that has everything exactly the way I want it. That's pretty hard to beat, but too onerous for all the dependencies (+lib32) needed for gaming to maintain ALL of it yourself.

Well, you could try to run flatpaked Steam :)

I used to run Slackware, but manually resolving dependencies drove me crazy as a simple things such as installing VLC took hours.

Liam, I'm curious to know where the server is physically located. Is it rented? At your home? In a data center? (Colocated?).

Quoting: RavenWingsSince the last stable update, my power button is showing some strange behaviour. Most times I have to press it 5-10 times to turn the deck on or off.

Anyone else having similar problems?

Not as much as you. Sometimes I press the power button, and it does the chime, but does not boot up, I have to press a second or third time. It seems to happen most when I also dock or undock it while suspended.

I'm also eager to see some updates pushed to stable :)

Gosh I hope they drop coherent UI with this one. Otherwise, the trailer seems pretty decent, while it doesn't show much in terms of gameplay. It reminds me of mindustry a little, but more focused on units than ammo.

I'm not sure how well that kind of gameplay would fit with quick skirmishes?

Also, we never saw Human Resources past the trailer phase, I hope they can deliver :)

Here's a link to the steam page [External Link] since I didn't see one on this page.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of this one. I may enjoy it, but I have so many more games to play first, including XCOM. Plus, the asking price of 50€ seems a bit steep.

Quoting: JuliusThe player increase is probably from the simultaneous 60% discount last week.

Its a nice Godot engine based game, but the combat isn't really tower defense (and it would be probably a better game if it was).

Yeah the discount and update were too tempting to ignore :P

That said, I also bought the cosmetic DLC, so the price is the same as the base game.

One of the few games I played right after buying (instead of waiting a few years...), I had a blast! I wish there was a bit more guidance on the first run, though, I had to look up a few things like how overdriving the shield would work, or how to unlock some chambers (the new type of camber unlocks with water, I couldn't find this information online).
