Quoting: StoneColdSpiderHope Gabe is prepared to fight the Emus...... After their victory in the 1930's...... They now control the land....... They are a tough adversary....... They kicked our arse back then and are even more powerful now since they have formed an alliance with the Cassowaries and Dingos......... Gabe will need to work hard and negotiate a Steam Deck trade deal with the head Emu........

Hopefully that can happen at PAX Australia........ Good luck Lord Gaben....

Have the Drop Bears remained silent?

Quoting: pb"What do you think they will be working on?"

Given Valve's track record, definitely not Risk of Rain 3.

Quoting: PyrateRIP Risk of Rain 3.

In any other article it would have been funnier, but Liam just mentioned above how Gearbox handled the 2nd game and will be responsible for RoR's future...

Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team

Quoting: Purple Library GuyKind of feels like Mono is a corpse they are graciously allowing the Wine people to bury for them.

But... WINE has put a lot of effort over the years into supporting programs for old defunct Windows releases. Microsoft no longer needs it, and they're recommending all new code to use their modern fork, but these are like receiving the exam answers ahead of time. Now WINE no longer needs to guess and reverse engineer Mono related code, saving them time and money.
But Mono was already open source. It started as an open source thing to try to deal with the problem that was MS' .Net, which originated basically as a platform to exclude Linux. So I don't see why WINE would have needed to do any of that. MS are just saying "We have no more use for it, how about you guys maintain it?"

But how much of that could WINE use without the Mono project keeping an open source license? Since WINE would redistribute Mono with installations, possibly modifying it as necessary, it seems to me like they'd be in a delicate position. Sure it's open for us but we're protected by "personal use".

I'm confident they'll release a native build, and it'll be Steam Deck Verified too.

PVKK from the Dome Keeper devs has you manually control a massive planetary defence cannon

Quoting: M@GOidThis reminds me of a scene in the 1985's movie "The Return of the Living Dead". There is a big cannon firing a nuclear warhead. At the time I though it was fake, a prop from a B trash movie. But a couple ears ago to my big surprise, I discovered that thing really exists. Its name is M65 atomic cannon. It does not have range to reach meteorites in space on collision course with Earth, but still is a impressive thing.


They seem to be about the same length but this planet defense cannon is definitely a higher caliber.

Quoting: gaboverstaI am disappointed that someone decided to not strictly stick to Planetenverteidigungskannonenkommandant as the titel and introduced an acronym.

The game looks interesting though.

If they don't abbreviate it from the start, the Steam community would come up with their own random terms. Hard to market your game that way. Now you can say PVKK in a chat and anyone who isn't familiar with the game can search for it.

Valve faces a £656 million lawsuit in the UK for 'overcharging 14 million PC gamers'

So let me get this straight... To Ms. Shotbolt Valve is anti-competitive, but Microsoft acquiring Activision-Blizzard is not? Nothing fishy going on there, no sir.
