BudgieMania, do games w AYANEO NEXT LITE handheld announced with SteamOS Linux | UPDATE: Not SteamOS Apparently

Really nice news, both from the perspective of making new non-SteamDeck portable devices more appealing as well as from the perspective of standardizing Linux-based gaming setups further

So this Dlc is like an expansion with new story an contents? …Nice😗👌💫

MrScottyTay, do games w The big Portal 2 mod Portal: Revolution is out now on Steam

Saw the trailer on YouTube but it was shit. Instead of telling me what it is it just shows a few corridors? Like it’s it just a walking simulator in portal? If not, then why that trailer.

Sixpix,

Well, you could watch the trailer instead of the announcement video of it being available.

MrScottyTay,

I mean I didn’t seek it out, it was the first thing that ever appeared to me about the mod. Just saying, not a great first impression.

It’s a shame that modders don’t have marketing teams, maybe read the steam page?

MrScottyTay,

I don’t think you need a team to figure out what makes a good first impression for a game. Especially if you are a gamer yourself and see a lot of trailers for other games. I know I could look elsewhere for more info I’m just saying that the video got such a buzz that it started to pop up in feeds without any context. It does nothing to make anyone want to look elsewhere for that info.

totallynotfbi, do gaming w Combined Arms, the big free retro C&C and Red Alert combo 1.0 is out now

This is a stupid question, but is this a port of the actual missions from C&C/Red Alert, or just inspired by them?

@guyrocket@kbin.social avatar

Not stupid. I want to know too.

Essence_of_Meh,

I think these are new - there's a comment on the project page asking about "playing the classic Red Alert maps" and one of the devs replied they would require some modifications to work.

Besides, original missions can be played with OpenRA so I don't think they would port them here without at least adding support for the new factions (which in turn would require changes in story?).

That's just my guess based on some research though, I'm not a specialist when it comes to these projects.

Send_me_nude_girls, do games w EA opens up more patents for increasing Accessibility in gaming
@Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de avatar

Maybe they do it because of an increasing risk of getting challenged in court and causing a patent law re-evaluation, which would hurt them for other patents. I don’t think EA does something because of good will.

T3rr4T3rr0r, do gaming w Godot Engine hits over 50K euros per month in funding

Well deserved

rab, do games w Microsoft - keep your filthy hands off Valve, leak shows MSFT would buy Valve

Who cares valve hasn’t really done anything in years anyway aside from steam deck

MrCaturdayNight,

Me. I care. I like valve just the way it is.

rab,
@rab@lemmy.ca avatar

I like the way they used to be, when they made games

MrCaturdayNight,

Do you have a steam deck?

Zetta,

Have you been plugging your ears the past few years? Valve came out with Alyx, which was an amazing and first of it’s kind game. CS2 is basically in public beta at this point, and they are actively working on at least one new IP.

Also they have been updating TF2 again, which means a lot to me because I like TF2.

Valve is making games again

OswaldBuzzbald,

I like what they’re doing with Steam as a platform, the Steam Deck is fantastic, and their contributions and support of Proton is huge.

there was an interesting take about that on the wan show (not ms but steam). the emphasis was on steam’s value, which is unknown but actually very high

Magusbear, do gaming w ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON rated Steam Deck Playable ahead of release

Checks out. The hardware requirements aren’t that much different from Elden Ring and that game runs pretty good on the Steam Deck as well

toxicbubble, do games w Vampire Survivors co-op and new game engine upgrade is live

also out on switch!

conciselyverbose, (edited ) do pcgaming w Baldur's Gate 3 is going to get some big updates

The game's great, but they should fix the inventory (is a complete mess, seems one from a game in the '90), the font size of the UI and they should let me see the cards/stats of every member of my party, even the ones which are in my camp, so I can decide what items or enhancements are best suited for them.

This is basically my only nitpick, too, playing with a controller. D:OS2 was better. I don't need the character stuff taking up half the screen of inventory management, especially when it isn't done in a way that really enhances your information on the utility of equipment to your character.

Inventory should be its own section, so you can use the triggers to hop between tabs of different types of gear. I'd also like it if they took inspiration from Elden Ring for what it does display on the characters. It's also not perfect, but letting you cycle which info sheets show in the extra panes provides a good balance between making a lot of information readily accessible without making it a chore to find.

Kosta554, do gaming w Proton Experimental brings fixes for Gears 5, Overwatch 2, Phasmophobia

Yaaay to Phasmophobia.

TheiaTheMoonMaker, do gaming w GOG Summer Sale 2023 is live with giveaways and game deals
@TheiaTheMoonMaker@beehaw.org avatar

If you’re interested in 4X games at all Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is only $1.49. It absolutely holds up and to this day probably still has the best story of any 4X game.

It also works great on Steamdeck with a couple of easy tweaks. Unfortunately the instructions for those tweaks are currently in Reddit blackout shutdown limbo so I can’t copy them here, but when the blackout ends you can Find The Instructions Here.

Lucidlethargy, do games w Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages

Is this a Linux problem? I’ve never had to look for this detail before in Windows.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

It does prevent Linux compatibility, but even if it didn’t, it’s a computer security problem, for those who care. You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.

raspberriesareyummy,

You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.

Put like that, makes it even more obvious how insanely stupid slash desperate slash addicted some gamers are, doesn’t it?

CheeseNoodle,

Most gamers don’t know that easy anti-cheat is a rootkit to begin with.

trigonated,

Mostly, and even some Windows users don’t want to install software that has such a great amount of permission over the entire system just for a game’s anti-cheat.

It’s nice that users can now know beforehand if a game uses such software. Avoids refunds.

bay400,

Unless, of course, they add it months after release drastically limiting your chances of refunding (looking at you EA WRC 2024 😡)

trigonated,

That sucks : (

michaelmrose,

If they change the deal they should have to offer refunds. This makes it an expensive choice after the fact.

michaelmrose,

No its common for anti-cheat on Windows to have full root permission to your entire system Windows users are just on average less intelligent, less concerned about privacy, and, more ignorant about technology. This doesn’t mean using Windows makes you stupid its just the OS of choice for the stupid and ignorant.

nforminvasion,

Holy logical fallacy batman. Ad hominem much?

michaelmrose,

Ad hominem isn’t when you insult people AND make an argument its when you insult people INSTEAD of making an argument.

User initially believes that this is only a Linux issue because its almost entirely discussed on forums frequented by technical people who often use Linux whereas forums full of Windows gamers are equally effected but ignorant of the topic.

ouch, do games w Oxenfree is being completely removed from itch.io in October

I sent email to oxenfree@nightschoolstudio.com and told them in no uncertain words that what they are doing is illegal, and asked how they are going to fix the situation.

If I can find time to, I’ll see about contacting the local consumer protection organisation.
