Oooh, Input Leap support! Software KVM support is the only thing holding me back from using Wayland, so this is great news! It doesn't look quite ready yet, but it's very nice to see that it's being worked on in an official capacity.

It's amazing work and I'm particularly looking forward to the work on application-level suspension. It could take the concept of Sessions/Activities to a whole new level where you could store the app-state of your entire "Work" activity when you switch to your "Playtime" activity for some gaming after work and then jump immediately back into exactly where you left off the next day.

Quoteit has so far been gathering some rather glowing user reviews althoughand wonderfully, it's only a couple of hours long.
There, fixed it for you!
Jokes aside, whenever I see a game that's more than 8 hours long, I can feel my work schedule - as well as my backlog - starring daggers at me.

This one looks particularly neat; nice visuals, music is more than just a Silent Hill-alike and the guarantee of no jump-scares (or "startlers", since there's nothing "scary" about them) is very enticing.

Star Trek: Infinite from Paradox releases October 12

This is one of the few things I want to click preorder on, but so many things about it feels off.

  • The use of character portraits from a time period that they start off by saying won't be in the game Okay, 20 years before; this might not be an issue, though it still feels a bit cheap
  • The interface seemingly not having been influenced by LCARS at all
  • The generic music that seems completely off-brand for Star Trek
  • The interface sounds and VO that doesn't sound very Star Trek in neither audio style nor script

I really want to like this, but I just can't

EDIT: Reading a bit more of first impressions the writing does sound like it'll be enough for this to be entertaining, so, oh well, preordered after all. We'll see how it turns out.

I know, I know, this should have been a spelling correction, but I did actually get momentarily excited at the prospect of fancy new cyberpunk parks to spend some time in
Neon trees, holographic koi ponds, robot dog walking... We need more walking simulation in our action games!

Quoting: Avikarr[...]Check out BallisticNG on Steam! This game is a passion project, spiritual successor of WipeOut and it definitely slaps! [...] Pure labor of love. Devs like these should be supported. Period.
Can confirm! Whenever I fire up wipEout or wipEout 2097 (wipEout XL in the USA) I usually end up switching to BallisticNG after 10 minutes or so once the nostalgia starts wearing off. BallisticNG is just everything I love about the early wipEout games plus so many more conveniences that it really has become the golden standard for anti-grav racing games at this point
