Just updated my installation. It offered me to install my roms on my SD Card. Did just that and moved my original Emulation folder to the one it created on my SD Card. Started the Emudeck ROM manager and Boom! Everything was as I left it (saved games and all). 17Gb freed on my nvme!

Quoting: LightkeyAh, Bridge Constructor (also released for Linux) developer from Germany, no surprises there. What's surprising is that LEGO/Thunderful Publishing went along with it, as it's their first Linux title. I wonder if ClockStone even mentioned it to them..

Doesn't invalidate your point, but for the record, it's not Lego's first foray into Linux. To my knowledge there is at least Lego Minifigures Online that was Linux native... Unfortunately, it didn't turned out to be a success.

Quoting: itscalledrealityI wish Sony would release their more interesting games already. Uncharted can be fun but I’ve already played all four and have no reason I would want to return. Even if they bundled in a secret Uncharted 5. Truthfully the games are all too mechanically similar to warrant any replay.

I'd get it because I prefer the PC experience, didn't finish any of them and don't have a PS5. I played God of War on PS4 but it's a much better experience on my Linux desktop—and they did a great job with the keyboard and mouse controls.

I'm currently playing God of War on my Steam Deck with Vibrant deck plugin (boosted the saturation to 160)... Awesome experience!

Originally, I didnt know what to think of Sony's games on Steam, but I'm gradually buying them, one by one. I'll probably get this one too, eventually, when there will be a good sale. Same goes for Spider Man (Miles Morales too). Quite my kind of games.

Seriously, I come to the saddening realization that I have no hype left for whatever Nvidia does, anymore. Lately, it all feels like a Porsche publicity when I come by Nvidia announcments; something I'll never pay for. Even the "low end" RTX 3050 is too expensive. I feel less and less concerned by Nvidia. Going AMD asap. I already did with my Steam Deck and I will ditch my GTX 1660 Super (my son's Christmas gift). The replacement GPU for my desktop is already ordered (RX 6500 XT).

Sorry, these are my "toughts on this update". This said, I'm happy for those that are still in the Nvidia camp and to those it will benefit.

The Steam Deck Dock is interresting, but I'm wondering if a Steam Deck with a protection Shell will fit, into the seating?

QuoteWhen we discontinued linux support in 2019, one of the core reasons was how the cheating community was exploiting the Linux platform.

They are trying to convince me that 0.1% of the userbase, by their own numbers and assuming that it would mean that all of Linux users are cheaters... Yeah... Right... wrecked the game so much that it attracted their attention to Linux cheating?

I'm... not... buying... it.

I would really like to know on what fact they based this assumption, if it's not just pure made up BS, because they can't say they won't support Linux, because they don't want to and because they hate the platform.

Seriously, it's more insulting than anything else.

I needed this new statement as much as a Facepunch!

the cheating industry move millions of dollars each year, maybe even billions, valve said it thenselves (steam devdays), i wouldnt be surprised if its more profitable to make an cheat software for an game than port the game to linux/make it work with proton.

no one is saying that all linux users are cheatters, the issue is, cheaters are willing to do a lot to cheat, if they have to pay they will, if they have to install an software that is hard to install they will.
hell, i never used an cheat software, but the last time i cracked some software it was way harder than instaling an linux distro, if instaling cheat software is that hard, then i wont be surprised to see some people installing linux just to cheat, and that is the main issue here.

Imo, it's still speculation based on no hard facts... If it was true, we would already see upticks in Linux usage and hear about Linux cheats in other games that permits it... So, I'm totally unconvinced, still. Maybe you are right, but it's too anecdotal to really matter. Not sure that many Windows users are willing or have the knowledge required to install Linux just to cheat for one specific game.

Edit:
And the day Linux usage will make a visible dent in Windows AC will be the day Linux will have hit a critical mass of users. At this point, Linux will require proper support and AC implementations. That's what Facepunch doesn't want to see happen ("we don't want Epic Games to split Windows ressources to support Linux" rhetoric). That makes them even more disgusting, imo.

I still remember this:

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2016/01/garry-newman-of-rust-and-garrys-mod-regrets-supporting-linux/

Please excuse me if I don't believe there is an once of good faith in this new statement. It feels like they are being pressured by demand into answering with some form of a P.C. answer. They do not have any intention of supporting Linux, imo.

Maybe when Valve will have sold it's 5th million Steam Deck...?

The price of the Deck Dock is not on the cheap side, but considering that the power supply is included, all the features that comes with the dock and the support quality that Valve usually offers, it's not as bad as it seems.

As a comparison... JSaux Dock (60$CAN) + 45w PSU (30$CAN) = 90$CAN... Valve's Deck Dock 120$CAN. It's more expensive, but nothing catastrophic, imo.

Will I buy it? Probably not. I barely use mine.

Quoting: GuestMeh, the game is so boring, repetitive and shallow...

Not the biggest fan myself, but for many, it's a big (if not the sole) reason to boot Windows. So, even if you don't play the game, putting your +1 will help Linux gaming as a whole. Linux needs to be supported by these big titles.
