Immediately putted it on my whishlist. This is he kind of out of the box thinking that attracted me to indie gaming lately.

If Google and Apple, with all that power, cannot keep their stores clean all the time, how is that a surprise that a malicious app got into Canonical's app store?

Speaking in nostalgia, the demo of the new Contra game is out. It is kinda heavy to play it in Proton, since I was getting only 60% of the performance I have in Windows.

Too bad 5.1 surround sound is broken on the Linux port of L4D2 since launch. It works well in other Valve games, tough.

Apple M1 gets OpenGL 4.6 and OpenGL ES 3.2 support on Linux

Congratulations on this milestone. While a good chunk of the code for OpenGL 4.6 already existed inside Mesa, I bet it was not easy to reverse engineer the hardware, to plug it in the Linux ecosystem.

It would be interesting to see if the Linux driver can outperform Apple's. That would be really funny if it did.

So what is he upset about: that they milked the game by creating multiple DLCs, or that they decided to end development of the game?

Last time I used this it wasn't playing nice with Vulkan and Wayland. How is it behaving now?

Is there anything like this for the NES?

Spec Ops: The Line gets delisted on Steam - you can still buy it elsewhere for now

Developers from this game were not happy during development. I remember a couple saying it was very difficult (a nice way to say their boss was a a****le) and the team disbanded after completion, hence why it never got a sequel despite being a well received title.

After reading about it, it became clear why the game lacked a bit of polish to make it a true AAA title. It was still worth playing, IMHO. Is the closest thing Linuxers got to Gears of War, but with a more realistic setting.

Never Grave from the Palworld developer looks a lot like Hollow Knight
30 January 2024 at 2:19 am UTC

I can enjoy a modern game that pays homage for ancient games from 20, 30 years ago. You feel nostalgic and stuff. Hollow Knight was released too recently for someone to be "paying homage" too it. This is a blatantly ripoff and one of the motives I abandoned AAA gaming in the first place. I came to indies for their courage to innovate. I'm not gonna give money to devs that behave like big studios that are too scared to create something new, and decide to copy someone's home work.
