I loved CrossCode! It's a shame that it doesn't get any attention these days, but I'm hoping that Alabaster Dawn brings Radical Fish the love they deserve.

Fingers crossed, lads!

Currently it sadly doesn't work on Linux because the local server emulator cannot start on port 443. Fingers crossed the devs will manage to fix this.

In the past I've made sure to WIRE up the gamepad to the Plasma KDE system which has a gamepad section in settings, and THEN all games detected just fine. If you rely on proton to do it all for you, then perhaps that's the issue.

Maybe you are right, but will this work in Gamescope on Steam Deck?

NVIDIA have been wanting to do some proper CPUs

It would have been a lot more interesting if they bought VIA, improved on their designs, and released a proper x86 (or more precisely - amd64) competitor.

I won't trust Nvidia to play well with Linux and they'll poison any efforts Intel have there

Historically, Intel has been very open source friendly. But they have been shedding all that stuff in droves the last couple months. AMD went through a similar phase when they were hurting financially. Would Nvidia's "clutch all the toys" culture infect Intel? Probably not that much, but you never know.

I do wonder what's gonna happen with the whole Intel ARC graphics

Rumors of its demise have been swirling for a while. Which is unfortunate; competition is good for the consumer. Unfortunately, it's taking Intel a bit too long to get competitive.

Nvidia and Intel will clash super hard

Nvidia tends to not play well with others (there's a reason AMD is the GPU of choice in most custom projects, including consoles), so it will be interesting to see how this pans out. Intel has tried the GPU chiplet thing before, with AMD graphics chips. That didn't seem to last long, but I don't think they ever said why...

The thought of a Linux gaming device with Nvidia GPU sounds like wild goose..

Times change. First Steam Machines were using Nvidia GPUs since AMD graphics were crap back then, in 10 years from now, who knows?

As for the deal, I do wonder what's gonna happen with the whole Intel ARC graphics efforts.

In the past I also tried Heroic Games Launcher, but the GOG games had so many issues (for example not finding gamepad, even when the game supported it) I just gave up on using it on Steam Deck.

Seems to work well so far. 30ish fps in the forest starter area with Quality upscaling. For some reason the game defaults to Performance taau with FSR Framegen which is strange. Nice to see a game that is well optimized and working on release day

Thanks, but no, thanks. I won't trust Nvidia to play well with Linux and they'll poison any efforts Intel have there.

The current i5-12400 in my desktop will probably be my last Intel purchase (although I did buy it secondhand). I do not like NVIDIA, and I refuse to buy any of their products. If they're getting involved with Intel, then I'll move to buying AMD products in the future.

For the love of god please don't let Nvidia get their grubby hands on Intel

If I remember correctly, some ten years ago it was speculated that Intel might buy Nvidia (to be able to fully compete with AMD who had CPUs and GPUs already). Things can turn around...

Well, perish the thought that the few oligopolists left should actually compete with each other. Of course, cartel all the way, wonderful.

Given the quality of Nvidia's latest low-power GPUs, I wouldn't expect too much from an RTX iGPU... in raw power at least.

You people do fantastic work. fheroes2 and VCMI both have a permanent spot on my phone, not to mention HoMM1 via Dosbox. Very cool to have all this right here in my pocket wherever I go.

Some consolation as the world continues to (appear to) crumble around us ;)

This is purely about AI, a bubble I wish would just hurry up and burst already. There will be no focus on desktop builds, only data centre. Any benefits to desktop will be incidental.

If Valve use an Intel/Nvidia SOC in their next SteamDeck I doubt I'd buy one. I really do hate AI that much, and I just don't have any enthusiasm for supporting NVidia, a company dedicated to burning the planet for the benefit of AI - going so far this week to announce that green energy can't support their ambition and fossil fuel reactors and nuclear power are the only option.

I don't even consider myself particularly green, but that's a new low.

on paper it completely makes sense, but in practice in real life? I feel like Intel is so damaged, like maybe beyond saving, that Nvidia and Intel will clash super hard when it comes to actual cooperation aspect. I'd like to see them succeed and come out with some great products to keep the landscape competitive, so I guess we will just have to wait and see.

I was quite looking forward to this, but didn't realise it's single player. The only way/time I'll play a racing game is with one of my two online groups of pals, so I'll give this a miss, I'm afraid.

Looks great though. If I had more enthusiasm for racing games, I'd be pleased this existed, since many of the more recent options are just incredibly technical.

This looks amazing! I still have CrossCode on my "to play" list for the Deck, so I'm going to need to get to that sooner rather than later it seems.

For some reason I'm getting a Gunpoint vibe from this, which is definitely a good thing.

> Pity it's still in Early Access though ...
The previous game, Airborne Kingdom, is fully released and finished.
As-is, Airborne Empire already has more content and is more enjoyable IMO.

> Checked the system requirements and it will actually run on my laptop!
Do test if you pick it up, earlier versions ran surprisingly poor on my 3500U with older Proton releases.
This might have been improved since, it's been a while since I tried Airborne Empire and there have been significant updatea since.

This is totally nuts and I would have never guessed it in a million years. Somehow it does make a lot of sense considering Intel's on-board graphics have been so far behind AMD's.

Another game I've been looking forward to. I'm gonna have too much to play!
