@Sil_el_mot or publish it and hope it helps others.
There seems to be quite some demand.
Doesn't need to be open source or free software, you could publish it under whatever license and/or conditions you would like.
There appears to be demand, maybe you could serve that demand.

I see a large overlap between that and Lutris.
Not sure if there is enough difference to be worth the effort instead of joining up with the existing projects.

Lutris is pretty much a dead project. Besides Playnite offers TONS of features over anything like Lutris and the guy adding Proton/WINE support is the cherry on top. I welcome Playnite to Linux

Is it exclusive to the OLED model? Because it did drop on my OLEDeck yesterday, but my PC running SteamOS still says it's up to date.

I had an update yesterday on SD LED.

I played many hours of the original Guild Wars. In fact, it was the first MMO that I ever played. Guild Wars 2 was fun for what it was, but it just didn't have the same feel.

Yes, I definitely agree there.

While I also enjoyed GW2 for a while, it is definitely "just" a normal MMO with a few nice touches.
The gameplay in GW1 is entirely different, I'm not even sure I'd call it an MMO to be honest.

They should invent a new category: biggest deception. Plants vs Zombies Replanted would have won (the original had GOTY).

I like Geoff Keighley, but I don't care about The Game Awards. It's cool that it's a thing and all, but meh.

Neat, I used to use this under Windows and it was a fun app that had lots of useful plugins that let you basically hook up everything into it.

People should go have a look at all the plugins, you'll be surprised as to what it could do, basically had everything you could imagine in one when it came to gaming.

Under strategy, no Anno 117 but instead Civ 7 is nominated? GTFO with these "awards".

Probably released too late to be included for this year.

Linux support wasn't planned at all under Riot, so any attempt being made is good news to me. Really hoping the future for Hytale is better than its development has been thus far, it'd be incredible to see.

Another Valve funded thing with the number 3
suspicious.

'Video game library manager', huh? Well, we already have Lutris, Heroic, and Steam, but I suppose another one wouldn't hurt. I mean, there's something like half a million desktop environments, so ecosystem fragmentation isn't anything new.

Never heard of Playnite, but looks like it's another game library app. Hopefully this one uses QT, AFAIK the others all use GTK>=3 which sucks.

I use playnite to have some control of what I have. It's an excelent backlog tool. I'm getting very emotional by this update! For now I run it inside a win VM. Ah, I also use it to randonly pick my next game.

A feature to be proud of, although I always wondered how they were able to fund the servers.

They still use your typical micro-transaction shop, including lootboxes. The difference between them and a F2P game really is that they don't have to go full-predatory, since they also generate some money from DLC sales, where F2P games don't. And as far as I know there is nothing in these lootboxes you can't also buy directly, or earn.

While desktop mode only I do hope later on he can look into adding the big picture mode

For now big picture mode on steam does a good job of thst for me, and I use boilR to add my heroic/lutris games onto steam, if you add your steamgrid api key it will even sort all the artwork out

I do wish valve would add ambient background music to big picture and steamOS. They could even have a selection of music on the points store!

Impressed by the number of nominations for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The game that came out of nowhere and went straight to the top. Bonus points for being the only new franchise amongst the GOTY nominees.

Must confess that I haven't play the game, but the track "Lumière" is phenomenal (go watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpNVf8sczqU ).

Nice! This may be a rare day-one purchase for me. Hopefully they bring a controller update to GW2 as well. I'd love to play that on Steam Deck.

But is there a Majestic Carrot?

HDD prices have gone up so much. I went to refresh and replace some of my 4 and 8TB old ones with 14TB, and was horrified at how expensive 4 and 8 still are compared to when I bought them years ago. It's why I went with Snapraid and mergerfs for my big media array. Can use any mixed sizes and types of disk, parity is confined to specific disks, only disks in use spin up, and if the array fails then I can still read each disk independently so only lose the disks that died. It's great for WORM type setups, doing the overnight sync and able to recover from disk loss if needed. I have had to do that, and it worked perfectly.

If you do get a Poweredge or similar, I recommend putting something like Proxmox on to start with and then out OMV on that. Keep to a very basic config for Proxmox, don't try and learn too much to start with, and then pop OMV on as a VM. That'll let you then be able to add other VMs/containers and nodes to the system later as you learn it. Though OMV can do a little of that as well, so can always just install that directly and get used to the options that provides first.

@tpau they don't actually whitelist keyboards.
They blacklist drivers.
It just happens that some keyboards only work through vulnerable drivers.

I thought everyone hated Civ VII? I've yet to read a single positive review. Granted I don't go looking for them, so maybe I'm just in a bubble here, but I'm still surprised to see it nominated for anything.
