Thanks for highlighting Hot Heat Reset - maze games (usually maze-chase games, specifically) are one of my jams, so I'll have to try out the demo for this one.

Quoting: slaapliedjeFallout 76... the game failed so hard that they are now giving it away on Humble Bundle and PS4/5 at the same time.

But it's made of Finest Bethesda Canvas (and mould)!

We have no chance to survive make our time, I guess!

Really, though, this was unexpected, but really nice to see. With so much great open-source emulator support on Linux, there's no excuse for future emulated collections to not also run natively (so to speak), so hopefully we'll see more of this going forward.

Quoting: fenglengshunWoohoo, more language and Japanese games fixes! Always make me so happy to see them, seems like there's been a lot of work on that since Proton 7.0. Hopefully that keeps up for Proton 8.0 because Japanese games a toooon of weird quirks.

I'd guess that the launch of the Steam Deck in parts of Asia is playing into this, so I imagine it'll just keep on rolling, now.

Quotefixing up many bugs like the EA App and Ubisoft Connect

I like how these launchers are correctly categorised as bugs.

Quoting: PenglingYeah, yeah, I'm one of those "older GOL'ers" you guys keep hearing about. (And also I'm losing the ability to count in my old age, because I meant a year older, not younger. )

Hahahahahahaha! Nah, I prefer being older and (hopefully) wiser.

I'm a year younger and I just learned the same thing!

Unfortunately, I'm not seeing very much that interests me on this store yet, but of course that might well change in the future. I guess I'll keep an eye on it.

Another mystery of the world has just disappeared.

Quoting: PenglingOoh, I do love new games for old hardware - always nice to see! (Quick shout-out to Bomberland for the C64, here, because it's really good. )

Check this out!

I hope they manage to finish it! (Note: Ultima V had a prototype for the Atari 8bit computers, but was never finished by Origin, as they had decided the computer was falling away in popularity. Granted somehow the C64 got Ultima 6, but the Apple II only got 1-5).

Now that is cool. Not my genre, but my other half is a fan, so I'll have to pass the link along. Thanks very much!

Quoting: legluondunetPlaystation is opening its doors to PC gamers, they are now selling some of their games on Steam and you can play other PS games on the cloud with PS+
With Xbox Game Pass, PC gamers can play XBOX games on the cloud.
The physical console is evolving towards dematerialized and you can play the same games on Windows, Linux, Android through the cloud... Whatever the OS or your hardware.
What awaits Nintendo to follow? There are a lot of Nintendo game fan projects, why? Because people want to play their games, old or new, and they can't! The competition is fierce, I think Nintendo should open up its market, not stay cloistered on a machine or they will disappear, like Sega before.

Nintendo has put themselves into an odd position with this, too - their strength has always been in their franchises, but some spin-offs are handled by outside contractors and have been turned into advertisements for Sony and Microsoft properties. This dents the value of Nintendo's franchises quite a bit. One game has spent years pushing titles that aren't even on the Switch, and you can play most or all of what's being promoted better on a Steam Deck, now. It won't do them any favours going forward, I'd imagine.
