Fun games for Steam Deck that won't break the bank
17 August 2022 at 3:00 pm UTC
Also, Dark Nights With Poe And Munro is perfect for doing one half-hour episode in bed before sleep. Engaging and tongue-in-cheek, although the menu text is a bit on the small side; hopefully they can fix that up.

I've mentioned it before a few times in a few places, but Art of Rally is an absolute gem on the Steam Deck. The top-down perspective, the cute visuals, and the analogue controls all come together to make it an excellent experience on the Deck.

Quoting: richipI confirmed and purchase mine 5 days ago. Is there a way to check the order status? Will they send a tracking number for recipients to track (in general but specifically to Canada)?
The order status is listed in your purchase history in the Steam client. Tracking information gets put there when it's available, too.
Proton 7.0-4 is coming to bring more compatibility to Linux and Steam Deck

Quoting: slaapliedjePretty sure this is the same reason that storing Linux games on an NTFS filesystem in Linux breaks things.
NTFS also can't store the execute permission.

Special mention on the shortcuts for menu button + up/down on the left stick to super quickly adjust the brightness. That's the one that I've used more than any other.
Linux user share on Steam continues rising — highest for years again

Quoting: BlackBloodRumIn any case, it would need to be clarified as it may artificially make it appear that either you have more Linux users on steam than in actuality or that some distros are losing ground, when in fact they're just not being counted because the user has two distros being used on steam and only one of those is counted.
It's a hardware survey, not a user survey. It's no more artificial than someone with a Windows desktop and a Steam Deck having both machines counted, or a desktop and a laptop.

The hardware survey lets developers compare the requirements of their game to the amount of hardware being used that meets those requirements. Developers making sure that their game works on Linux would be making sure their game works on both of your machines.
Total War: Warhammer III cautiously builds upon a tried and true formula

Quoting: dziadulewiczso Feral is doing these endless Warhammer games only now there used to be much more appealing stuff like Mad max, Tomb Raiders and what have you.
If you've made a Windows-only game that you're vaguely interested in having the ability to run on Linux, but not enough to be bothered to do it yourself, why pay Feral to do it when Valve will do it for you for free? Feral are just finishing up existing contracts.
Epic Games now supporting the O3D Foundation and Open 3D Engine

Quoting: CAVRThat's interesting... I see all these big corporations apparently supporting the O3D Engine, but most projects that I see being developed using a FOSS game engine are actually using Godot.
This engine has only been available for a year. It used to be Lumberyard, which was a modified CryEngine.

Run around a cyberpunk city as a lost cat in Stray - out now

Quoting: levellordIs it suitable for kids? I am sure my 9 year old will ask for it the moment she learn about it. Thanks!

QuoteI want to be clear: If you are sensitive about violence against domesticated cats, failing a challenge in Stray may be difficult for you. These moments can include small, otherworldly creatures crowding over your cat's lifeless body as the camera hovers over until you press a button to try again from a checkpoint. There is no gore, and there is no disturbing animation of something that resembles an attack. But while I found the presentation of these challenging moments tasteful, Stray's protagonist is so carefully rendered that I could see cat lovers being very bothered. As such, BlueTwelve should probably include an "immediate cut to black" option in its menus.
