I really like the depth in Trese Brothers games. I played both Templar Battleforce and Star Traders: Frontiers. Both of those are amazing games with complex mechanics. So I backed Cyber Knights in Kickstarter campaign and looking forward to play it. :-)

I recently installed Heroic Games Launcher on Steam Deck, which was easy because of the flatpak package available. It runs like a charm on Steam Deck and it's a nice to play some good old games on Steam Deck :-)

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: ZlopezIt's also good to see that Flatpak Steam is so widely used. :-)

Why? The reason for Flatpak that I'm aware of is getting newer software, but Steam is updating itself...

For me the main reason for usage is sandboxing, games don't see what I don't allow them, and the fact that I'm using immutable OS.

Quoting: 14You guys' comments don't make me want to dip my toes into this game despite it becoming interesting again (haven't purchased yet). Why are the review stats so amazing if it's frustrating? Is it the MMO players that like endgame grinding for specific loot drops? Because that's not me.

The reason is simple, because most of the reviews are written after few hours in the game, at which time it's awesome experience and real fun. The frustration starts later.

I wonder if they fixed the issue with difficulty. In original game it was really frustrating then fun to play endgame. I don't mind difficult games, but this was mostly grinding new members for exp than anything else.

I'm now finishing Disco Elysium, really interesting game. And I really like the filter for games you didn't played yet, till I got Steam Deck that number is shrinking. :-)

Ubuntu flavours to drop Flatpak by default and stick to Snaps
23 February 2023 at 1:02 pm UTC

I remember that in LTS they usually have really old version of flatpak, so some things didn't work as they should anyway.

I'm not sure why Canonical doesn't want to have flatpak installed out of the box, but they sometimes do strange decisions, like Mir or Unity. Not bad projects but they were the only one using them and dropped them after some time.

The packaging is something that should be addressed across all distributions. But in case of Flatpaks, Snaps or AppImages it's just about adoption downstream, which is more difficult for deb, rpm etc..
But in case of snaps I'm not sure if there is anyone packaging apps as snaps outside Canonical.

I played ELDEN RING whole January (finished it :-)), not surprised it's a first on the list.

Marvel's Midnight Suns gets an update to help Steam Deck

I actually liked the game when I first saw it, but the dealbreaker for me was Denuvo as protection with only 5 activations!

It's sad to see good game being killed by something that probably won't work in few years.
