News - KDE Plasma 6.6 to get a great new feature - limit virtual desktops to the primary screen

Nice, one more reason to try kde on my next install. Already made the switch to a DE-agnostic terminal a while ago for that reason.

This will not be important to most people, but it does not appear that Digiphile accepts PayPal. That is a deal breaker for me.

News - Final Sentence is a unique horror battle royale where you're all on typewriters

I might not do too bad at this. I'm a sort of mediocre-to-decent touch typist, but that probably puts me leagues ahead of the hunt-and-peck-with-two-thumbs phone kids. Of course they probably won't play this game . . .

Important note from their [FAQ](https://sites.google.com/digiphile.co/help/faq#h.527pq8bv8zs5):

How long do I have redeem my content from bundle purchases?

As a best practice, all Steam keys have a 90-day redemption window. After that, unredeemed and unrevealed keys will expire and be returned to the developer.

Unfortunately, every time I come back to this, pretty much every server is running some weird mod that completely changes gameplay. I just want vanilla, like how I remember it :/

did they forget to add content or something? I don't understand what is going on with this website there seems to be no actual data?

Works for me. Maybe they can't handle the load? Or maybe something else, but I don't know what would be as likely.

A game with 3,674 dlcs is now free-to-play? I hope the devs don't go broke! /s

I like Fanatical's build your own bundle system, if there were something like that for GOG, it would be very interesting... were it not for the fact I already own pretty much everything I may like on GOG.

I recently found out about that missing feature the hard way during a presentation emoji.

For those of you that have this game on Steam (I got it for free at some point), Fanatical has it on sale for even better than GOG:

News - The classic Unreal Tournament gets a big upgrade with the v469e patch from OldUnreal

Great to see another UT99 patch. A couple of years ago when I switched over to linux UT99 deathmatch was my multiplayer mainstay. I'd definitely recommend it but unless you're quite experienced with arena fps it may be worth playing with some mates. Otherwise, you'll quickly learn to get good with hitting sniper headshots while dodging.

My favourite function from GNOME is finally getting into Plasma as well. Neato.

Hey that's neat! emoji

It is one feature of Gnome I really like.

It would be nice if Epic would allow UT2k4 to get this treatment at some point.

Loved this game as a kid!
The installer runs pretty well but unfortunately I can't the game started itself. It shows the error

Failed to enter Entry: Can't find file Entry.

History: UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine <- main


I have no clue how to solve it emoji

The huge variety of games here is amazing. This is a group of consumers that just can't be pinned down or put in a box, I love it! I own Arc Raiders and have about 10 hours in, but every time I think about playing it, I get stressed. So I have mostly been playing Breakout Recharged emoji

I have felt this way about Megabonk. Players are not the one placing the attacks or landing the hits. Players are just in charge of positioning, navigating the map and selecting upgrades. It's perfect. Automate the grunt work. Hand-off the rest to the player who can now focus more deeply on what really matters.

Seems like they may have a serious audio problem on Deck right now. I'd fully expect at least one more hotfix release soon.

D-pad in the wrong location. Pass.


That's the XBOX360 location, which I was quite used to... about 20 years ago. It's got the XBOX markings though, so it makes sense.

See, for me, this is the perfect spot for the d-pad... Megadrive habits, I guess emoji

Completed Half-life 2, HL2-episode 1 and half way through episode 2. All in VR, it works incredibly well and is a fantastic experience.
Me and my brother had a run through all the HL games in coop a while back, was good fun! (Not the VR versions though.) emoji

Just finished [My Time at Sandrock](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1084600/My_Time_at_Sandrock/) after about 200 hours - excellent game with solid mechanics, lots of humour, and even some touching moments. As an evolution of My Time at Portia it was pretty much what I had hoped for!

I also finished [American Arcadia](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1249040/American_Arcadia/) in a few hours - I was expecting a point & click adventure but instead it's an interesting mix of platforming and puzzle game. Impressive presentation, great voice acting, decent story with some twists - the only annoying aspect was the opaque checkpoint system, but overall it's a game worth your time!

Now intermittently playing [Road 96](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1466640/Road_96/) on the Deck and [The Multi-Medium](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2077380/The_MultiMedium/) on the PC while trying to decide what to play next. I was going to finally start [Baldur's Gate 3](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1086940/Baldurs_Gate_3/), but I'll give it some more time for the native Deck/Linux version to bake (hey, I've waited this long...)

I think I will play [Outer Wilds](https://store.steampowered.com/app/753640/Outer_Wilds/) instead, a game that I've owned for years and started a few times but inexplicably never progressed past the starting area. I guess it's finally time to see if it's really the masterpiece that everyone says it is...

Mostly No Man's Sky. I also just relaunched Skyrim. There are so, SO many games I want to try, but I have very limited time to play these days, with work and very young kids.

Question: I already did a redux version of the Beachhead expedition. Should I do it again, would I get a second Normandy?
