I don’t think I’ve seen that update window in years.

I’ve seen the same thing. Seems like the new behavior is to just let me login, play, and it will get what it needs in the background and automatically update on next launch.

Makes sense not to bother me to update a 0.1 release change after launch (unless it’s urgent) when I just want to play Tetris.

Isn’t this the same behavior web browsers use? Background download and update on next launch?

Not complaining, I prefer this update cycle as default.

thermal_shock,

yeah, it updates at every launch basically, like Spotify app

This was a fun one. Never finished it, but really liked watching the partner play.

Factorio. Probably for the next month or so as well.

Personally I check steam’s popular new releases and upcoming releases lists to stay up to date

sundray, do games w Is there a video-game .ics/calendar that I can subscribe to keep up with recent releases?

Found this, can’t vouch for its accuracy but it has an .ics version: game-releases.com/calendar/

Appreciate it, though this one to seems to be a little short on upcoming games.

simple, do games w Is there a video-game .ics/calendar that I can subscribe to keep up with recent releases?

Yes! There’s opencritic.com/calendar which is available in ics format. It usually only covers big releases though, not many indies on the list.

Appreciate the find, but doesn’t seem to be very up to date. Hasn’t included either Stalker 2 or Path of Exile 2, which both launch during November.

slug,

anyone else getting 403 for the feed itself?

simple,

I just tried and got it. Might be worth shooting them an email.

@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

I suspect there should be something using the IGDB API, if not it ought to be possible to make one. I found this (I didn’t try it) but it’s not quite what you want: github.com/omoosey/video-game-calendar

mox, do games w Is there a video-game .ics/calendar that I can subscribe to keep up with recent releases?

If you don’t find one, you might consider looking for RSS (or Atom) feeds that list new game announcements or reviews. Maybe one of these, for example.

Lost_My_Mind,

Ok…this thread has Sunny, Chris, and Mox…I cannot be the only person getting pro-wrestling vibes from this post.

Grangle1, do games w Sonic x Shadow Generations | Review Thread

The original got overshadowed (pun not intended) by high profile releases such as SKYRIM and a new Mario Kart at the time and was followed up by the very mid Sonic Lost World, so here’s hoping the good reviews help people decide to pick this up and actually see 3D Sonic done right.

While the safe bet with Linux is AMD, it’s not like Nvidia or Intel are bad options for Linux. (,running RTX 3050 and 12100f).

It just depends on your platform and how comfortable you are with tinkering.

From my testing, Ubuntu based, is the easiest to get up and running while Fedora and arch can take a bit of work.

For my recommendation, look at the games you wanna run and see what they recommend for hardware. An in general safe bet, 12th gen Intel i3/i5 or 3rd gen Ryzen is a good bet for cheap hardware still in stock in stores or online. Upgrade is good (12-14th on the same socket & 1-5th gen Ryzen on the same socket).

Graphics cards works on both, and AmD and Nvidia works on Linux, though Nvidia is behind on support, but not by much games will be stable.

sleepybisexual,

I plan to use Linux mint or some other Ubuntubased distro, how would arcch base go?

Arch isn’t too hard with the AUR offering packages that said I only stuck out with Manjaro. They had a GUI to help with the install.

I personally wouldn’t advise using it if you are new to Linux. I use Linux Mint and it’s been amazing for my work load. (Cad video editing and games.)

sleepybisexual,

Oki,

Yea, I’m not new, I’m.just bad with cli. I daily mint and have for at least a year
