Camzing, do games w Linux hits exactly 2% user share on the October 2024 Steam Survey

And just to let people know, you are not limited to Linux games only. You can play windows games on Linux. Took me a while to figure this out.

BlueMagma,

Proton for the win. (dows)

Valve needs to enable Proton by default.

mrcleanup,

I just installed Bazzite, it’s all baked in.

I have bazzite on my daughter’s machine. I still had to enable compatibility for other titles. It’s not a huge deal if you know it’s there, but it can be a stumbling block for someone testing the waters.

Didn’t they make the change recently?

ta_leadran_orm,

Just wanted to add to this for those who don’t know, windows games work through a comparability later called Proton, it usually works great, but some games don’t work well with it. (Mostly anticheat and stuff like that causing issues IIRC) I would always recommend checking ProtonDB before purchasing any game without explicit Linux support

FYI - the owner of this site, gamingonlinux, was a mod on the !linux_gaming community until they were caught abusing their moderator powers. Then they deleted their account and complained on mastodon that it’s stupid design that mod logs are public. [Screenshot]

Instead, here’s a link to the official post steamcommunity.com/groups/…/4547038620960934857

That screen shot is gold. Gaming on Linux is dead to me. Thanks for sharing. It should all be public.

deathmetal27,

What mod abuse did they do?

Localhorst86, do games w Risk of Rain creators Hopoo Games join Valve

There will never be a “Risk of Rain 3”

Looks like the RoR IP belongs to Gearbox.

ChicoSuave,

So just like other Valve projects, the third one is gone forever.

Sleepkever,

Don’t get your hopes up. Apparently the latest RoR2 expansion was made by the new Gearbox crew and that didn’t work out so well…

My biggest complaint about Sims-likes is that the visual style always looks too serious. It gives me the feeling that whatever I’m going to do with my not-Sims, it’s gonna be something that makes me regret my real life.

You wanna know what I did the last time I played the Sims 2 though? I repeatedly held parties at my Sim’s house and then lured the guests into a room they couldn’t get out of. I also used the moveobjects cheat to collect police cars whenever a cop showed up to shut the party down. By the time I was done I had amassed around 70 urns, many hysterical immortal Sims (Sims with households can’t die while visiting someone’s house in the Sims 2), 4 Police cars and a fire truck.

The Sims has a mischievous air to it that tickles the devil on your shoulder and begs you to listen to them. None of the Sims-likes I’m aware of seem to have the same air.

Edit: now I want to play the Sims again.

sunzu,

This ain't right

UltraGiGaGigantic,

My Sim grew weed and played PC games

Kerbal Space Program has a similar vibe, and other space sims take themselves way too seriously to be fun.

RIP KSP2

Hall effect joysticks. That’s cool to see.

deanimate, do games w Godot Engine hits over 50K euros per month in funding

Are the people who run unity best mates with musk?

Prior_Industry,

Blaze your code

Lemminary,

Not by our own accord. Unity is the seemingly cool, weed-sharing guy with shady friends who wanted to introduce you at a party one day and decided to grope your boob to tell Musk how laid back you were and they both laughed.

clanginator,

This characterization disgusts me but it’s a perfect analogy.

Candybar121,

It’s run by the ex CEO of EA.

Phegan, do games w Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games

Common valve W

simple, do games w Freejam studio closing with Robocraft and Robocraft 2 shutting down

Man, Robocraft and Loadout were both great games I enjoyed back in the day, and they both crash and burned a few years later. A real shame.

Send_me_nude_girls, do gaming w Valve detail their plans to combat Steam Deck OLED scalpers
@Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de avatar

You don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Simply add waiting lists and a max limit of one order per person. Sucks for large families but only until the initial hype is gone.

vivadanang,

scalpers often recruit straw purchases in those situations. they have ways man, I’m all for Valve finding innovation in fucking those fuckwits up

Hmm kinda like what they did before. It worked. I knew I was going to get one and the community built a spreadsheet tracking estimates dates.

Quail4789, do gaming w Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages

The best thing that’ll come out of this is people will realize Easy and BattleEye are kernel-level on Windows. I know so many people who calls Vanguard a rootkit then go play all the other games.

TomSelleck, (edited ) do gaming w HP are interested in making a SteamOS handheld as the Windows experience sucks

Fuck HP. I could see these assholes charging you a fee to download anything or use their device in any meaningful way. They are leaders in the enshittification race.

algorithmae,

and then the GPU will catch fire

TomSelleck,

Better hope you paid your fire suppression subscription!

TacoSocks, (edited ) do games w Luanti (formerly Minetest) v5.11 out now with an in-game settings menu and better server browser

I’ve tried luanti several times and I’m trying to dial in the graphics settings for best performance with the lack of in game settings menu was always a such a pain I’d give up. I’m super excited about his change.

Don’t tell Nintendo I played Star Fox today at 120fps.
