News - Split-screen game launcher for Linux / SteamOS adds support for multiple keyboards and mice

Parsec doesn't work as a host on Linux sadly, you can only connect to other PCs

I hope they enable LAN multilayer with this version after they explicitly removed it from the original (GOG, Steam) version. While some can patch the game to support LAN again it will become very wonky.

Ultra 9 275HX

--

And yea similarly speced laptops go for about that much.

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-legion-7i-16-2-5k-oled-gaming-laptop-intel-core-ultra-9-275hx-32gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-1tb-ssd-glacier-white/

This has the 5070 but with a 16" screen, Adder only has the 5070 in 17" for an extra $300. Let's knock off $100, at least, to hypothetically make it a 16" and the prices are suddenly pretty competitive. Worth it though for proper Linux support for the lifetime of the device.

News - DOGWALK is a free casual game from the Blender Studio out now

While I never bothered to do an exhaustive survey, my impression is that there are quite a few games with feline protagonists, and big ones at that, but not that many from a canine perspective.

Sven Bømwøllen features a dog in an important role, just not the protagonist. emoji

Finally! A game for us dog-lovers \o/.

While I never bothered to do an exhaustive survey, my impression is that there are quite a few games with feline protagonists, and big ones at that, but not that many from a canine perspective. Maybe cats are better companions for developers who spend all their time in front of a computer and therefore the more logical choice? Or do their character and abilities make for better gameplay?

You are paying for the CPU, 2k USD is for base config and has only 16GB RAM and RTX5050 but the CPU has 24 cores.

CPU was left out of the spec in the article; can someone update with CPU options? I don't care enough to click on the link to their site to check since I can't afford it anyway :)

News - Limbo and Inside are getting delisted from GOG
By F.Ultra, 14 Jul 2025 at 5:52 pm UTC

From https://80.lv/articles/playdead-s-limbo-and-inside-are-getting-removed-from-gog :
UPD: Dino Patti has told 80 Level that the delisting is likely unrelated to the lawsuit and more likely tied to Playdead's efforts to remove Patti's name from the credits of Limbo and Inside.

"As far as I know, this had nothing to do with the court case," the Co-Founder told us. "It might have something to do with [Playdead CEO Arnt Jensen] removing me from the game credits as he's done on Steam and other stores."

News - Lossless Scaling Frame Gen gets a Decky Loader Steam Deck plugin but there's drama

Updated with a fresh post from the developer.

I was asked to collaborate, but I instead requested them to wait with the plugin until the new configuration system was written, as otherwise a large portion of the plugin would have to be rewritten to account for it. They did not listen and pushed the plugin out without communicating with me beforehand.
What the lsfg-vk dev said was pretty reasonable.
Some people are just way to desperate to have lsfg working on Linux already.
We didn't even have any perpective of having access to that software before and now we have.
Just calm down and wait for it to be actually ready.

I have no idea how you did this unless you manually compiled it and installed the files into the system, in which case you should be able to manually delete all the files.

You would think, but how does someone manually compile and install "blind"? That would take at least some thought to pull off and most likely some reading of the instructions. I'm very curious.

That's my favourite game intro of all time. The original, I mean. Why did they have to mess up the audio, can't be that hard to simply not touch it.

News - Split-screen game launcher for Linux / SteamOS adds support for multiple keyboards and mice
By Pyretic, 14 Jul 2025 at 2:48 pm UTC

I kinda want to test how good this thing is, compared to NucleusCoop.

On the one hand, sandboxing is a Linux-native feature, so it should work better than the hacks that Nucleus uses.

On the other hand, NucleusCoop has had so many more years of development behind it, and also works with Epic Games and GOG games.

So the devs are angry with each other and therefore they delisted the games?

Why not just be angry with each other and NOT delist the games?

I guess it's OK to get a difforce, but think about your children?

Multiple mice and keyboards, wow, I always thought something like this should be possible
My dream is that one day Wayland would allow multiple cursors kinda like how it worked on the Wii, and all the Windows users wouldn't believe their eyes lol

I had no issues with stability on Fedora. And uninstalling should be easy.

As for the drama, it's just a disclaimer right? I would put out something like that. Just to avoid confusion. Otherwise the dev will get support requests for software he is not responsible for.

News - Limbo and Inside are getting delisted from GOG
By Eike, 14 Jul 2025 at 1:04 pm UTC

I consider Limbo one of the major games during the fairly early indie game times. One of the games that really showcased that we don't need to rely on massive companies to create iconic and memorable videogames.
It's sad to see it disappear (at least in the legal realm).

This. Limbo has got a little place in many hearts. 💔

I'm just hoping it's a better remaster than the execrable Space Marine master crafted edition.

"We'll keep things the same and maybe fix some bugs, but not all of those bugs that we may end up fixing will be fixed at release. $30, please."

Let's wait and see. I'm guessing this will get panned just because of the pricing. It's high for what's essentially a patch to get the games to... function properly and without workarounds.

- Price similar to the [Anniversary edition](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4570/Warhammer_40000_Dawn_of_War__Anniversary_Edition/) or lower (looking at Anniversary edition, that is actually a definitive edition, so I'm not sure why we need another one)
That was just them making a big announcement and renaming the old game. They made it seem like there has been some development done (an account system and some extras was what they advertised, I think), but I never saw any of that actually... work. This kind of seems like it was supposed to be what they're releasing in August, but they failed implementing it back then? If Relic explained it I haven't seen it. Really bizarre.

Let's see how this will end, this was the game that introduced me to my Warhammer 40k hobby, so I have it deep in my heart. But I don't understand why they added the spoken lines to trailer (there are none in the original), it doesn't sound good at all. Looking at the original one, it's actually better :-D

I would like to see these features in this release:
- LAN multiplayer
- Modding support (all the mods done for the game are hacks as there wasn't any official mod support at that time)
- All the DLC bundled together
- Price similar to the [Anniversary edition](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4570/Warhammer_40000_Dawn_of_War__Anniversary_Edition/) or lower (looking at Anniversary edition, that is actually a definitive edition, so I'm not sure why we need another one)
- Don't want to see old games removed from stores, because of this

Some game developers and artists in general are absolutely paranoid delusional about their creations. It's like taking a screenshot will take their soul.

That's true, but in this case in particular Playdead has been struggling to ensure that his artistic vision for video games prevails over the more purely economic vision of his former co-founder (the media was always told that it was a matter of the two not reaching an agreement, but it was always a matter of Playdead not being intimidated by pressure from the producers). I know this because I was doing some research on it a few years ago.

So I installed 'lsfg-vk', blind - (stupid I know) and ended up in a situation where I could not unpick it from my cachyOS machine.

I have no idea how you did this unless you manually compiled it and installed the files into the system, in which case you should be able to manually delete all the files.
