Steam: News
-
Thaumaturge and paranormal investigators look neat
-
As Linux games go, I look forward to Europa.
-
It’s one of the very few non-2D, non-Visual Novel games coming out on Linux.
-
Wizordum is my other pick for the boomer shooter appreciator in me.
-
Couple of hmmms so far from the NEXT Fest.
-
STREET UNI X (controls like a PS1 game)
-
Anima Flux (no controller support)
-
-
144/162 ratio on the mac/lin demos.
-
I guess this is one way to cut down on shovelware
-
Gotta input an SMS code every time you onboard someone too
-
Will this ultimately just lead to a bunch of abandoned/never updated games on steam?
-
Steam has to be a juicy target for malware distributors.
-
I wonder if indie devs on Steam get the same offers as plugin / app devs do?
-
Apparently there were some cases where legit games had their depos compromised
-
An extra layer of authentication for uploading the build, every single time.
-
That’s one way to stop session token grabbers.
-
Hackers were able to yoink browser access tokens from the developer of NanoWar: Cells VS Virus.
-
Hackers were able to upload a build containing malware.
-
Has it been three years since the release of the M1?
-
That was my guess for Linux overtaking Apple on desktop gaming.
-
Users have until the end of the year to claim their refund.
-
Log your bugs with the legacy version now cuz after january it’s no longer getting any attention.
-
I assume an email went out at Valve HQ that read something along the lines of “anyone want to learn Metal?”
-
This email was never replied to.
-
The moltenvk folks don’t have a joshie
-
-
-
Sucks if you just dropped $12K on a new Mac Pro gaming rig.
-
Look at that! VALVe offering people an option to continue playing CS:GO specific community servers on the final build of Global Offensive.
-
Like they did with 1.6 and CS: Source
-
As money grubbing game publishers go, VALVe is still one of the best.
-
In all seriousness, does anyone buy an Apple Desk/Laptop for gaming?
-
It does suck since Apple got the Steams before Linux.
Steam: New Games
-
That looks a little too good for a game made to just capitalize on the renewed popularity of Armored Core.
-
It’s more like Armored Earth Defense Force Core.
-
Yeah it reminds me more of the mobile suit Gundam games than AC
-
Still looks pretty good though for a 1 person project
-
All you need is a hard drive
Steam: Game Updates
-
Diablo IV will be Steam Deck Verified on launch.
-
Yes, you have to buy it again if you picked it up on battlenet.
-
Guessing it bypasses the launcher?
News:
-
Nvidia is really hung up on the 4080.
-
Everyone rightfully pointed out how having 2 cards with the same name was stupid when they were so different.
-
Like the Titan X and the Titan X in 2016.
-
7 years and they just can’t fucking help themselves.
-
Still firmly out of everyone’s price range
-
A slightly faster 4080 with more memory requiring more power.
-
A 20GB Nvidia GPU at the $1.2K mark is probably aimed at gamers who enjoy playing AI.
-
If you’re in the market for a 1080p medium GPU.
-
It’s a wee faster than the 3050 but needs an additional 71 Watts to pull it off.
-
Their review unit was also a loud boy
-
$180 for something which delivers better performance than NVidia’s last gen 3050, which is $40 more expensive.
-
It sucks to see Intel doing to this card what they’ve been doing to their processors, which is to feed them more power in order to keep up.
-
Though if you’re buying parts on the cheap you probably don’t care as much about the power utilization, just the cost up front.
-
Hopefully this can help fill out the midrange and give Intel some more GPU market footprint.
-
Only Intel knows why they released this card.
-
Clear out old stock?
-
But we know 4 new Intel somethings are in the works.
-
This guy was heading out the door before the pricing changes were announced.
-
He did sell most or all of his shares prior to the triple foot-shooting, he’s got plenty of money already.
-
Whitehurst isn’t that big a dummy so we’ll see what his move is to salvage the whole dumpster fire
-
Former Delta COO, then RedHat, then IBM president.
-
He’s at least got a bachelor’s degree in computer science.
-
Ah, he is an advisor at the private equity firm Silver Lake.
-
They own a chunk of Unity.
-
See if Whitehurst can fend off derp decision from inversorts and board members.
-
I hear Kotick is looking for a job.
-
Developers will use the new leadership as an excuse to continue using Unity, guaranteed.
-
Like it was planned.
-
Source port for Bugdom 2 done with SDL
-
Has a handy little build script that builds the appimage
-
Really likes my leftmost monitor but it picks up my PS4 controller and everything works.
-
Has a handy little AppImage that you can download. X86 and ARM.
-
Picks up the PS4 controller with rumble support.
-
Sam the Snail is up to something. Don’t trust him.
-
It’s no CroMagRally but Pangea games were all the same sandbox with different bits thrown in.
-
Tiberian sun remastered multiplayer is now in preview
-
If you’re on a laptop the launcher will ask you if you wanna use the integrated or dedicated GPU
-
Their internal survey now reports Linux distributions
-
The flatpak won’t crash on Wayland now either.
-
Red Alert Global League Season 15 has just started, and for Halloween you can expect Dark Tournament VII, for which registrations are currently open.
-
This release contains significant progress towards C&C Remastered Collection support.
