Story-driven RPG 'The Thaumaturge' is now Steam Deck Verified https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/story-driven-rpg-the-thaumaturge-now-steam-deck-verified/ Vampire survival game V Rising 1.0 live with gamepad support (good for Steam Deck) https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/vampire-survival-game-v-rising-1-0-live-with-gamepad-support-good-for-steam-deck/ @gamingonlinux not surprising, but the #VRising (server) update deleted the progress of me playing with friends for a couple of months :( We are not motivated to start at 0, even though the game is fun. But it is too grindy / repetitive to start over now. Awesome GZDoom shooter Selaco demo will be delisted (but you can still get it) https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/awesome-gzdoom-shooter-selaco-demo-will-be-delisted-but-you-can-still-get-it/ The Machine Age DLC for Stellaris out now along with free Andromeda update https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/the-machine-age-dlc-for-stellaris-out-now-along-with-free-andromeda-update/ Fanatical restocked their big #Fallout game bundle: https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/fallout-bundle?ref=gol (partner link) SteamVR 2.5 released with multiple Linux fixes https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/steamvr-25-released-with-multiple-linux-fixes/ @gamingonlinux I truly hope Steam will focus more on VR on Linux from now on :drac_comfy_green: The more I use a Steam Deck, the more I feel big boxes hooked permanently to a single TV are ridiculous. Pick up and play anywhere, with the ability to hook up to a TV is justโฆso much better! If Valve doesnโt do a Steam Deck 2 I will be quite sad. The OLED design is basically perfect. Just bump up the APU in 2 years time ๐  Apex Legends Upheaval update live with EOS Anti-Cheat breaking it on Steam Deck / Linux https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/apex-legends-upheaval-update-live-with-eos-anti-cheat-breaking-it-on-steam-deck-linux/ @gamingonlinux That timing could literally not be worse, I was about to play and saw this haha. Guess I'm playing something else until it is fixed :( Humble Choice has Hi-Fi RUSH, Yakuza: Like a Dragon and a Humble Store Spring Sale https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/humble-choice-has-hi-fi-rush-yakuza-like-a-dragon-and-a-humble-store-spring-sale/ PREY is only ยฃ1.99 on Humble Store: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/prey?partner=gamingonlinux (partner link)

 @gamingonlinux I am a huge chicken when it comes to playing scary games. Like, HUGE. But this looks really good, and reminds me of some unholy blend of Bioshock and Half-Life, games of which I really liked the setting/premise. (Especially Half-Life โค๏ธ) Steam / Steam Deck stable client update released fixing lots of bugs, including a CSS change to "reduce package size and reduce feature leaks" ๐คจ ๐คจ https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/steam-steam-deck-stable-client-update-released-fixing-lots-of-bugs/ @gamingonlinux Gotta wonder how big the CSS class names were if they had a material impact on the package size. Maybe autogenerated names like class="big_hero_unit_for_game_id_858588333_aka_half_life_3_oops_we_cannot_put_this_here" @gamingonlinux whaaa still no 8 direction mapping option for old dos games that use the numpad Maybe next time. PSA - If your Steam Deck or Steam on Linux has started failing to download or launch Proton games, you may have caught a bad config from Valve's servers. We believe the problem is fixed now, but you need to delete a cache file locally (`~/.steam/steam/userdata/<steamid>/config/compat.vdf` where <steamid> is your id). See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10846 for details. I've tried walking average users through deleting a file in a hidden directory before. It might be quicker to just have them factory-reset their Steam Decks
 @TTimo@mastodon.social maybe this is why my anime dressup game won't boot anymore Sigh. Google flagged https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/classic-rts-perimeter-returns-as-perimeter-legate-edition-with-linux-support/page=1/ as containing "Malicious or unwanted software" with no way on the adsense control panel to speak to them, to get them to recheck it. It's a news article about a game, that links to the GPL source code (GitHub) and a Steam page. What about that is "Malicious or unwanted software" exactly?

 @gamingonlinux it sucks that Google dominates web search. I've switched to using DuckDuckGo and Ecosia. I know Bing powers them, but still more refreshing to use those services. I hope Google doesn't keep you down!  Planetiles is a beautiful blend of Tetris and Dorfromantik https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/planetiles-is-a-beautiful-blend-of-tetris-and-dorfromantik/ @gamingonlinux it looks really interesting and I may check it out. Puzzle games have never been my strong-suit, and can lead to frustration if they're too difficult or obtuse for me, but I still enjoy playing some of them. Nerobi is a new gorgeous looking platforming adventure https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/nerobi-is-a-new-gorgeous-looking-platforming-adventure/  Microsoft closes Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin and others https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/microsoft-closes-tango-gameworks-arkane-austin-and-others/

@gamingonlinux For a publisher struggling to release good games and hoping to finally find success in Japan, shutting down Tango (who just had a big hit) seems like an especially dumb move.  Ant colony RTS 'Empires of the Undergrowth' hits 1.0 in June https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/ant-colony-rts-empires-of-the-undergrowth-hits-10-in-june/ Pull off some slick moves in Lunar Lander Beyond on Steam Deck / Linux https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/pull-off-some-slick-moves-in-lunar-lander-beyond-on-steam-deck-linux/ Ah Mastodon, it never fails. Whenever I point out somewhere else to follow or join, there's *always* replies telling me how much they don't want it or don't want to see it.

 @gamingonlinux to be fair they have a point: you can be annoyed and still scroll past -- people have to scroll past paid advertisements on other social media all the time, and people come to Mastodon to not have to see them at all. FWIW I've never felt like your links to follow other places were intrusive though. @gamingonlinux it's not Mastodon, I think it's the tech community in general. What you are describing is exactly why I've grown my audiences separate from my tech channel. "I don't want to see it!" Then.. doing fucking look at it? Idk, people need to grow up.  |
@gamingonlinux oh, you don't like getting them from masto or discord?
