The old classic never seems to fail does it? Been using that site for decades I feel like. Let's see what we can come up with (I just push the button a bunch of times in a row lol):

This Ananananayo will rapidiously embrace strategic technologies, dynamically reinvent ethical networks, and monotonectally develop leading-edge communities. Not only that, but it will also synergistically recaptiualize impactful ideas, intrinsically supply principle-centered communities, and MOST OF ALL: completely pontificate economically sound storage.

Looks really fun! The price is just right for a spur of the moment purchase as well.

Steam Deck - SteamOS 3.6 officially out with improved performance, Mura Compensation, lots more

Quoting: AsciiWolfNice, but I wonder why they didn't go with Mesa 24.2. Mesa 24.1 is already quite old at this point.

A lot of other stuff is quite old as well. Kernel is 6.5. We're on 6.11 now, and 6.5 is over a year old. Plasma is 5.27, we've been on 6.x for a while now.

A lot of these new updates are already *very* stable as of now, so ....... not sure why they'd want to hold on to the older stuff.

Quoting: scaineI'd never even HEARD of "Mura" before. This Reddit post is an excellent explainer though.

me neither! Thank you for the link. I've never gamed on any oled panel before (my tv is oled, but we only watch movies/shows on that) ... my desktop gaming computer is non-oled, and I have a regular ol lcd steam deck.

AYANEO tease the AYANEO 3 as a 'revolution' and a 'completely new concept'

Quoting: Vortex_AcheronticIt probably has "AI build-in to boost performance and battery lifetime" for sure. Ya know the usual...
Yeah, some "AI" stuff is probably a given, I expect them all to start doing it.

I think there's a high probability AI wrote that entire marketing "release". Already we're in the future of innovation!

Drova - Forsaken Kin is an impressive pixel-art action-RPG for you to check out

Got this recently on a whim, and was initially extremely disappointed since the gameplay SEEMED awesome but it lacked ultrawide support. For 2024 games that pretty unforgivable, so I was ready to refund it. But then I tried it on the Deck and it plays really well there. Only slight issue is the screen is really too small for such an engaging game. The text is tiny, the inventory interface is very dense, stuff like that. But it does play well! So far I'm having a good time, I just don't know if once I get to more complex systems and inventory management, or more difficult monsters, if I'll be able to keep it up on the Deck. Hoping for an ultrawide mod or official patch soon, because this game really SEEMS awesome!

TRON: Catalyst announced from Bithell Games and Big Fan Games

I am a MASSIVE tron fan, basically in all things. I love the universe they created, the stories and concepts, the 80's movie, various games, and I absolutely ADORE the 2010 tron legacy movie. It's probably in my top 5 of all time since it's not even really a movie it's just one of the best musicals ever made.

All that said, and I'll probably just pass on this. Top down beat-em-ups ....... I really wish I could get interested but I don't know why they picked this genre. Do these games sell really well? Their last one was a visual novel?

GE-Proton 9-16 released with mod support for various Bethesda games
16 October 2024 at 12:35 pm UTC

whoa, this is pretty huge! I don't dare think about another skyrim run with some crazy mods do I?

Asking for a friend:
how do you actually use this new proton for modding bethesda stuff? Is it as simple as downloading the mod from nexus, putting it in whatever folder it says, then this new proton will detect it? Usually there's lots of other steps involved though. Sometimes some mods can be kind of crazy to install, so I doubt it's that easy, but you never know.

Love seeing more godot games

And I just played the demo some. Seems like a super fun chill casual game! Perfect for having on a second monitor and while I'm forced to be in useless google meet meetings, I can do a few runs on this.

ZOOM Platform store announces new tool to run Windows games on Linux with Proton

Quoting: CyrilThis is great. Now GOG when? If ZOOM can do it, I'm sure you can too!

Gog? Linux? Let's check their interest level in such a thing:

  • Galaxy 1 launches - community wishlist post for linux support gets thousands of votes. Never happens.

  • Galaxy 2 launches - community wishlist post for linux support gets thousands of votes. Never happens.

  • Galaxy 3 hasn't even launched yet but - community wishlist post for linux support gets thousands of votes.


They have zero interest in us.
