Looks like their last game was also free (and positively reviewed, although not very noticed):

Am I missing a hidden business model here? The new game looks rather polished for a hobby project...

Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer announced and there's a demo available

I also enjoyed their other game, Whispers of a Machine. I think I played the original Kathy Rain not long before the Director's Cut was announced... might have to play that version as a refresher before playing the new one.

Give your Steam Deck a refreshed look with these new Razer skins

Seems awfully expensive for some vinyl. Do they not mess with the tactility of the touchpads? As mentioned by others, I'm sure I would mess it up and get some bubbles in there...

Steam getting proper Season Pass support with clearer guidelines and refunds for cancellations
22 November 2024 at 5:15 am UTC

QuoteA complete list of all DLC included in the Pass. (i.e. listing each of the four DLCs included in a Pass).

Seems like an odd thing to specify "four", unless that's a really common thing? Are there a lot of games that release quarterly updates these days, and sell those as "season passes"? Must be online multiplayer games, as I'm not familiar with that at all.

Edit: also meant to say: seems like some of this is meant to automate things (like refunds for canceled portions) and take some load off of Steam support.

QuoteCodename for Steam Controller 2 is “Ibex”

Looks like that lucky fellow can scratch his own butt, unlike most other four-legged creatures.

I guess we can't tweak the donation slider to increase the amount sent to GoL any more.

Linux GPU Configuration Tool 'LACT' adds NVIDIA support
16 November 2024 at 9:07 am UTC

For my 3060 Ti, the stuff on the info page seems to work fine, but the OC and Thermals page don't; says "No sensors found" and "No fan detected". I have the nvidia-smi tool, so I assume the necessary NVML stuff is also present...

Get a fresh look at Half-Life 2 RTX in a new video plus the Steam page is now live
16 November 2024 at 7:22 am UTC

Quoting: GOL_USERbe nice to have a better updated version that all can play instead of a limited upgraded version only green team can play.

Have they said anywhere that it will require an Nvidia card? If I remember correctly, Quake2 RTX initially did (because nothing else supported ray-tracing at the time), but now you can run it on any GPU.

Quoting: robertosf92Wish they added the option of using libre engines for some of those games

Steam beats GOG here, when using Roberta, Boxtron, and Luxtorpeda.
