Quoting: tfkI'll play it if it has penguins in it.
I just had a 100 dollar idea.

Steam Next Fest - June 2024 edition is live with lots and lots of demos

Quoting: SalvatosYou might want to check your list, Liam, as neither Fera nor Enotria have a Linux demo as far as I can tell.
Correct, noted above they're a separate list for Proton.

Quoting: Mountain ManThe Humble Bundle just isn't as enticing as it used to be. They still claim "pay what you want" but then lock the best games behind the highest price threshold. I miss the days when it was literally "pay that you want".
To be "devil's advocate" for a moment: the PWYW model was only good for players after the initial boom where people were quite generous. Developers and Humble all need to make money from it, so it makes sense to have a minimum that still gives players a better deal than buying individually (and usually by quite a lot too).

The bundles haven't been PWYW for a long time now, can't remember the last time I saw that, multiple years no doubt. It's almost always "Pay at least" now.

So much for preservation, the classic Delta Force games are getting delisted

Quoting: PenglingI'm a little bit confused - isn't this a Windows-only problem, since this relates to their GOG Galaxy launcher?
Galaxy works on Linux with Wine too, has done for ages. But, Heroic Games Launcher also supports GOG too, and if memory serves works with cloud saves nowadays too.

I've made that one point clearer.

GE-Proton 9-6 (and 9-7) brings various upstream changes from Valve's Proton

Quoting: Essoje
QuoteYou should generally stick with Valve's normal Proton unless you need GE-Proton for specific fixes.
Or if you want to run games not available on Steam using umu-run. And considering the amount of games that simply aren't on Steam in one form or another, I'd say it's fair to assume you should have it installed anyway, even if you don't use it for Steam games.
Yes, I suppose that's true now, I was thinking specifically Steam when writing that.

Tiny Glade is a gorgeous castle-doodling game that's real clever to relax with

Quoting: EikeWhen I start the game, it shows two rendering possibilities, Nvidia driver 545 and some LLVM CPU Idontknow, both declared unsupported, both crashing.
Weird, worked fine on AMD here.

Well, it's not possible to comment on future events. But they've added the ability, so the answer as stated is yes.

Quoting: basedAre previous "seasons" always available?

Thats the one thing I didnt like about No Man's Sky - all previous seasons locked until a "special event" starts, I just dont bother.
Right in the article:
QuoteTruly showing how they're player-first, they're also adding something else that's exciting with the ability to play through previous seasons.
