I liked the original, might give this a try at 19,99 if it's a native build

Well, it may have its flaws, but I survived Outpost. Remember that one? Talking about flaws.

NOICE! I just finished it recently. Probably the best Doom I've ever played… AND a semi well played out storyline!? WTF! 🤯 It's got a really solid engine… I wish it were more popular than U-Stutter Engine

I don't really understand what you mean here? Like a lot of games it has an upgrade system, you earn as you go and buy things. This is all really pretty standard game mechanics on progression.

I get that you think it's a shame, but at least in FOSS communities, instead of a bunch of firings and a big nose deciding they're gonna 'stay the course' anyway, you get a new fork with new rules/guidelines and the public can decide for themselves what path they like more.

Seeing it in context of how capitalist enterprises normally handle these situations, it no longer feels like a shame to me, it feels like a triumph. FOSStastic!

not involved into gzdoom in any way

Well, just maybe all the people who are involved and did the nuclear option of forking an established thing know a bit more than you do?

not involved into gzdoom in any way, but it looks like too much of mobbing, while the project leader left only one one-liner of a reply.

Graf has a history of being a major dick, and hyper controlling.

Well, not in the github issue mentioned in the article. If I was a major dick and a control freak, I would delete everyone's comments and ban them immediately and permanently.
Maybe you are right, and the guy's dismissive reply was the last thing that made everyone lose it, but come on.

In my opinion, the internet nowadays is a highly hysterical environment, where people argue, fight, cancel, burn bridges between each other over nothingburgers.

To me it starts to look like a conspiracy where something or someone ruins everything by any means, so we can't have nice things. Crazy, I know.

The internet has became a place that I am mostly avoiding.

This is so good, I literally asked them to do this exact thing around the Summer sale this year because there were a ton of games cheaper in bundles that the store page didn't have, I'm really happy they're doing this. Thank you.

Nice little improvement, again.

You can also just head direct to a bundle page for any game on Steam if you grab their app ID via: https://store.steampowered.com/bundlelist/*appid*

Now that's handy! So you don't even need the name's game for it.

What I additionally found that it shows an extra list for all bundles you already have complete.

I got many of these. :)

@linuxisdabest yes, there is. It's even now noted clearly on the Steam page that is has Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE) as the article states.

Why do we keep blaming anti cheat? There isn't even a kernel anti cheat or an anti cheat problem here (the game runs fine on wine 10.16)

Stop spreading the misinformation please

The creator of D9VK was a "frog" named Joshua? I guess there has been a migration to a "toad" named Autumn?

In any case, what I'm curious about is whether there is something that ties it to the Nvidia hardware - both currently, and in the future. Having it be a generic interface in Mesa/Gallium3D (like the new CLUDA) is obviously better, but it's not clear to me what the requirements are.

They certainly did great making the trailer look good, although I have no idea what the gameplay is like. :)

I wasn't paying much attention to the title when watching the trailer... "are they doing some weird VR-style hand controller thing? wait, is it actually a disembodied arm?" Noticing the title again: "oh, they mean it literally."

It's a bit of a turnoff for me, but I'm sure some people dig it.

Tinfoil not enough brother. You need SHEET METAL nowadays! :)

To be clear, it will be able to provide DLSS for games without using any Nvidia blobs, right?

Sadly they don't accept bitcoin any alternative payment methods, I don't have any traditional banking so I'm excluded.

KDE has served me well during this 2 years since I became a full-time Linux user on my main rig and all but one of my extra PCs.

I'd gladly give them a few bucks out of gratitude.

Less today, but better quality.

[Beneath](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3238080/Beneath_Demo/)
Beneath is Cthulhu inspired horror FPS. Demo has less Lovecraft though, but trailer has stronger vibe. Practically it seems to be some mix between Doom 3 and Half-Life. I guess worst thing is that it really doesn't do anything that hasn't been done before, but towards the end there's bit more sense of purpose. There's even more hints about the storyline.

Kind of mixed thing is that there's no manual saving. If things get too difficult, it gets frustrating. But when the balance is just about right, it's more tense than it would be possible with a save anywhere system.

Kind of almost wishlist material. Don't know though if I would have enough patience to play it all the way through. Though at least there's easier difficulty level available.

[The Last Caretaker](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1783560/The_Last_Caretaker/)
The Last Caretaker is openworld survival crafting game, but it does things bit differently. In the demo you do lot of door opening and connecting cables. And draining batteries. Didn't get a chance to punch a tree at all. Based on the store page, it's vaguely similar to Raft if it had robot as player character.

Store page hints also that there's more. For example small things like saving humanity.

While the demo was fun, there were some issues though. The recycler seems to be quite poorly introduced. And it's pretty essential in advancing the demo. Had to read the discussions to figure out where it could be.

Nice. I have this one my wishlist.

For the record, I spent too long searching for this [Diablo-like games](https://itsfoss.com/diablo-like-games/) list on GoL only to resort to a web search and find it again -- on It's FOSS. lol *facepalm*

This is a pretty good improvement to store pages.

Tried the demo; it's overengineered, i.e "too much" at times without clear direction. Pass.

I checked and UZDoom doesn't have a package on the AUR. I'll try building one but I have no experience with makepkg or anything so I have nfi how it'll go.

probly would be easier to start with the gzdoom pkgbuild and then replace with the uzdoom specific parts.

if you have any issue i would be glad to help as i have packed a few programs.

There's always jerks in any community. In corporations they become the boss and nobody can say no to them. One of the big benefits of Free/Open Source software is that you can tell the jerks to go (insert appropriate expletives here) and do good things without them.

Damn, another douche in the Free Software community? :D

Anyone have a list of the worst ones? Asking for a friend...

I'm waiting for DrMcCoy to comment on this and see what he thinks. ^^
I might be a bit devilish but it's always a pleasure to read that sort of "things". But sure it's not a happy end for GZDoom, at least it shows that most developers don't like that shit and move on to do things nicely.

What does the "U" stand for

It stands for 'Ultimate', as in 'Ultimate ZDoom'.

I checked and UZDoom doesn't have a package on the AUR. I'll try building one but I have no experience with makepkg or anything so I have nfi how it'll go.

@d3Xt3r Thanks for the pointer. However, despite following that guide 100% my system would still not recognise the 8BitDo controller through Wine. No error messages either!

Have just compiled UZDoom for the first time for my Tumbleweed system. Seems to fire up nicely :-)

Going by memory Graf didn't much care for implementing id24 after the Night Dive port, but also didn't seem to mind if someone else felt otherwise... Depends on who sticks with GZdoom, I guess.

I have stability issues with Plasma as well, otherwise I'd be using it too. I like both XFCE and Cinnamon but Plasma was so intuitive and customizable.

On an interesting sidenote, I wonder if M$ is feeling the pinch? I discovered about two weeks ago that M$ is making extended security updates free as long as the user is willing to create a M$ account and enable the "synchronize your account" feature when they register for the extension. In the EU, they were forced to give the extension for free without the strings attached. Could they be realizing that users are not going to be strong-armed into an unnecessary and wasteful hardware upgrade (and hence, Windoze will lose a chunk of its market share)?
