Didnt DORF Rts pixel art ? well it seems gameplay videos were in low resolution but rest of the youtube videos are in high quality. Lol. Well im waiting for it beyond "Dust RTS", Still my favorite rts is starcraft 2 but maybe this one changes my opinions especially with Linux native support.

I wound up caving to my own pressure - picked up cassette beasts for the deck. UH OH THAT WAS PROBABLY A BAD IDEA. It's REALLY good. I played it way too long last night and now today is a mess lol. I'm normally not big on creature collectors (poke-a-like?) but this is just so cool. Plus the soundtrack - whoa.

Quoting: Stella

Quoting: Claude_LibSadly, it also appears to break network completely, even connecting a smartphone over USB in tethering mode doesn't seem to work. Admittedly, I'm running it on a desktop, so nothing was guaranteed to work in the first place, but it's still sad. I created an issue on GitHub, hopefully they'll fix it.

hate to break it to you, but SteamOS isn't meant for your desktop, it's a niche console OS that only supports 2 devices right now. Anything outside of that, there are far better alternatives like Bazzite

I wouldn't complain about that if SteamOS hasn't been working perfectly fine with zero compatibility issues on my PC for two years at this point, making this an actual regression.

I tried SteamRT3 on a Steam Deck, and it messed up the night mode. The hue would either not change at all or become very rich red.

Quoting: Purple Library GuySigh. What I meant is for practical purposes forever by video game standards. Like, about three times as long as video games have existed--the very earliest possible video game would still have like 80 years or something to go. It was amazingly mild hyperbole.

I can no longer tell whether people are being serious or not online.

No biggie but I noticed there's no System Tray icon/shortcut menu. Everything's running well.

I would love to see a Dark Reign remaster, absolutely loved that. A shame the mod for OpenRA stalled https://github.com/drogoganor/OpenDR

A bit less than 80 years, as it's 70 years from the death of the author(s) in the relevant jurisdictions. I presume some video game authors must have died already. But you're definitely correct that, for all practical purposes, it might as well be forever. On the other hand, Carolly is technically correct, and I hear that's the best kind of correct.

I think the reload update makes a ton of sense, and will add to the game's intended design. I've always found it funny how the people who complain about the direction CS has moved toward over the years seem to fundamentally misunderstand what CS is. CS is not Call of Duty. CS is chess with guns. Everything in this game is carefully considered to reward whoever has the highest skill, and best strategy. If you want a brain-off battle royale, this isn't your game-and that's totally okay.

Quoting: Philadelphus

Re-re-enable Bluetooth Wake for Steam Deck LCD

So…they enabled it, disabled it, re-enabled it, disabled it again, and are now re-enabling it for the second time? 🥴

Yes.
I can kind of remember the GoL articles for most of those events, so yeah, pretty sure that's exactly what happened.

Quoting: Carolly

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThe duration does make things interesting legally. I mean, hypothetically there would be two avenues for going after OpenTTD: Copyright and Trademark. Copyright lasts forever but it's pretty specific . . . infringement requires verbatim copying of extensive amounts of stuff; the mere fact that you called it Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe, for instance, wouldn't be a copyright infringement, so it would depend how much specifically TTD stuff was still in the game. Trademark on the other hand is short duration and requires this sort of ongoing maintenance thing. OpenTTD would surely violate any trademarks involved, but the mere fact that it has existed all this time without being bothered could quite likely invalidate the trademark if I'm not mistaken. And it might have lapsed after all this time anyway. Not that the merits matter much when someone with money takes someone without money to court.

Probably better that everyone's playing nice.

What? Copyright doesn't last forever.

NVidia is probably so upset at gamers, they're not going to sell us GPUs anymore.

Finally, SteamOS on Wayland, this is great news. Took you long enough, Valve. 😝

It's almost like this container tech is here to stay, hehe 😆 This is great news and should hopefully make it easier for Valve to fix bugs in the client when there is more reproducibility across the garganguan Linux landscape.

Quoting: PoliticsOfStarvingThere are two games I always want to play, kknd and Dark Reign. But I can't get them working properly under wine.

This looks like it could be the modern version for sure.

Man I haven't taught about or played KKND and Dark Reign in years good games! Really nostalgic games me and my friend used to play does a lot.

Honestly, the only thing calling to me at the moment on my wishlist is Cozy Grove (Steam Play), mainly because it's 70% off and thus super cheap. Otherwise I might just give this sale a pass.

Yay, Wayland! I'm so excited to show my family the scaling options on the TV. Finally! They will freak out, I'm absolutely sure!

I highly recommend Chained Echoes for anyone who hasn't played it yet. SO GOOD.

For me, out of this list specifically, Cassette Beasts looks like it might be a fun Deck game ...!

Outside of that, from my wishlist & browsing:

• The Last Spell - turn based rpg - 90% off !!!


• Black Geyser - crpg - 50% off

I'm trying not to overdo it lol. My backlog isn't even a backlog anymore, it's a backforest

Is this something the Flatpak could take advantage of?

I don't think I'll move away from Flatpak because it deals with litter inside the home dir (forcing everything under a ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam prefix; some games otherwise write saves and config files in random places), and Steam presumably won't try to prevent that when existing saves have to remain visible.

If it at least makes Steam easier to contain (with the embedded chromium properly sandboxed), it's good for security.
