I was hoping this would fix the issue of being unable to install dotnet40+ into a Proton Prefix… but it still errors out with a fresh prefix and Proton GE 10.18. Right now there's a workaround that involves removing symlinking from files inside the prefix with vanilla Proton (with GE complains that dotnet is already installed), but it's complicated to do and it massively increases disk space https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=38124

Download the demo for fun. Looks cute but It required a controller. Won't work at all with a keyboard+mouse.

Well, thanks for the info.
Although, what are we supposed to do with it?

Well... We all do need a CPU to run our Linux on?

It's just a sad decision for me, because I would LOVE to play this for a few mins at night on my Deck, but without a proper camera angle, it's not going to happen, so maybe I'll check back in a year or so and see if they eventually added it.

The only way I see this trend reversing is if people get sick of the persistence of cheaters and it becomes a toxic concept to associate with like Denuvo. Either that or very public exploits of vulnerabilities.

I suspect that for an indie dev, the answer will be (or at least should be) "whatever sells the most units". So it really is odd to stick to your original design in the face of such feedback.

Of course, it's probably far from trivial to simply offer an over-the-shoulder camera here. They've probably designed every level/track/road with that static viewpoint in mind, so there's probably heaps of "missing" world that they didn't bother to populate because it's never seen from that angle.

The game has a lot of charm though, so I hope they pull it off.

A [slide](https://tehnoomsk.ru/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/%D0%AD%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%B1%D1%80%D1%83%D1%81-8%D0%927_%D0%AD%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%B1%D1%80%D1%83%D1%81-32%D0%A1-%D0%9C%D0%A6%D0%A1%D0%A2-2025-725x460.webp) from a September presentation by MCST, one of Russia's leading processor developers, has appeared on Russian IT blogs and Telegram channels. It's the first to announce the development of a new Elbrus-8V7 processor . What is this processor?

The Elbrus-8V7 is a Russian-developed processor for laptops, desktops, and embedded computers. It is based on the new, domestically developed 7th-generation Elbrus architecture (as reflected in its name).

The MCST presentation slide states that the new processor will feature "6 or more cores" with a performance of "2 or more than 2 GHz." The performance of the new Elbrus-8V7 will be approximately 0.5 TFLOPS. Support for 4th-generation PCIe will be implemented. The processor will feature integrated graphics with 3D support (a 3D GPU and codecs).

Honestly just pull valve's own move on them
Call it TF2 Classic, but *not* Team Fortress
That's how valve got around the Dota2 / Defense of the Ancients problem

Let me get this straight. They KNOW that "lots" of players hate this design decision and go "we know. we won't change it."

It's an interesting question. One the one hand, not all games have to be for all people, and I can respect a developer who sticks to their guns about making something they specifically like even if it means a game isn't for me (I'm hardly short on choice for other games to play, after all, plus modding is a thing). On the other hand, sometimes the hoi polloi are right that a particular design decision is holding a game back from being even more fun, and learning when to kill your darlings is a valuable skill. I don't know what the answer is in this case.

Call of Fortress - Red & Blue Ops Super Ultra Alpha 2

I don't play online multiplayer games but I think it's good that you continue to report on the negative aspects as well as the positive.

Who knows, maybe some gaming corp. executive will see this and have an epiphany about recovering the potential income being lost by EA's stance on the matter...

It's like Dead Cells had a baby with Salt & Sanctuary! Absolutely beautiful!

I'm a bit torn on it myself. I love the look and feel of it, and the premise is really neat, but the camera really isn't the best fit for a driving game.

I'll buy it at some point, but I'll probably wait for a sale before I do.

The camera angle is terrible, I agree, but like Renzatic, I coped and completed the demo. I doubt I'll pick it up unless they offer a better angle though. I found playing it like that tips the scale pretty far from "satisfying", past "mildly frustrating" and all the way towards "infuriating". Especially when you're getting chased, and you have to go flat out!

The loading mechanic was also pretty baffling for a while. I got there in the end, but again - pretty frustrating.

I'm so disappointed because I was really looking forward to this, along with Easy Delivery Co. Now neither game looks like it's going to live up to my weirdly high expectations! I got a couple of hours out of Easy Delivery Co at least.

The demo is really short - 10 to 15 minutes maybe, so it can't hurt to try it out at least.

Thank you for the update, EA's is already on my blacklist and continues to make it easy to ignore them and their games entirely.

Cheers

Has anyone figured out Arkham Asylum?

OMG you guys are presenting such an enticing picture of this game that I almost forgot that on top of all that the thing is freaking 70$ for a product that apparently doesn't even run properly in lots of computers.

It looks nice, but it is taking ASCII character graphics and plotting them onto the display, rather than sticking to a terminal character layout. I'd like to see the most amazing graphics you could achieve playable in a colour terminal window.

very nice looking but makes the game confused

Hold up. Wait, what? I totally thought Blue Protocol: Star Resonance wasn't gonna be playable on Linux (at least desktop Linux). What a sweet surprise!
Bummer it's not out in Japan yet though. Hopefully when it finally drops here, it'll still work on Linux!

Reminds me of the olden days of the ANSI art demo scene; some of it was quite impressive. Back in the BBS days...

Lots of DDOS being done these days. Its on the rise, AUR was taken down for almost a week I think.

Seems we have so many compromised devices in the wild these days, might result in the entire internet become one big DDOS farm if we aren't too careful. Another vector for the death of the internet I guess.

big shock, EA has been quite hostile towards Linux for a long while now.

I hope they continue to sink.

Didn't take long at all. But watch them ignore this point on the graph. That graph has a vector going to HELL at the end of it btw...
