Unbound: Worlds Apart is a gorgeous platformer where you open portals between worlds

It's a Fabulous Game!

Not at the level Hollow Knight is for me but I enjoy `Unbound: Worlds Apart` so much. Way more than I would have expected. The 1 HP + puzzle mechanics are brilliant!

Ubisoft are keeping an eye on the Steam Deck, will release on it if it's big enough

While I would love to see Ubisoft releasing new Games on Steam, that sounds really just a like a possibility for the far future. I mean for Ubisoft to consider Steam Deck to be "big" / a success, Valve needs to sell multiple millions, right? Sure it's what we & Gabe hope for. But aren't the all the reservation (not pre-orders!) worldwide more in the quarter million realm (SteamSpy)?

Anyway, I'm going through with my Steam Deck reservation and I hope for the best!

Hints appear of Valve making a handheld Steam "SteamPal" Neptune console

Let's say it like that: A successful (hand-held) console targeting the Steam Linux Runtime would be the game changer for Gaming on Linux.

System76 releases the open source Launch Configurable Keyboard

I use the numpad for Blender only which isn't that much. But I prefer a layout where the arrow and home keys are not cramped on the edge.

Missing Bluetooth support is in doubt the bigger issue I would guess.

David Rosen of Wolfire Games explains why they're taking on Valve in a lawsuit

The problem is less the 30% cut but the price binding.

Up to now, I believed that you are not allowed to sell the game cheaper elsewhere if you want to include a Steam-Key. That would make sense to me.
But without a Steam key / any Steam features (DRM, ..), the price binding it's a kinda ridiculous.

I personally would pay in the realm of 10% more if I get a Steam key. To me it's worth the extra features Steam provides. But it should be a choice.

I know they have a good Linux track record but based on

QuoteWe are also planning on supporting Windows, Mac, and Linux on PC.

I can only say: I plan to buy it once released on Linux. Sorry.

"AMD Radeon™ Graphics" sounds badly generic somehow.

I played and finished The Medium recently. No Ray-Tracing with SteamPlay/Proton (yet) but still enjoyed it a lot.

Started with Cyber Shadow which is awesome!

And ofc some Valheim as everyone else..

GNOME Shell to get an Activities Overview design revamp in GNOME 40

I really like the current vertical layout for virtual desktops but so far the GNOME team always delivered. So I'm always looking forward to their changes even if it means adjusting my workflow a little. =)
