Steam: New Games
Expected in 2025 but they plan on doing Early Access.
Slay the Spire 2 was completely rewritten from the ground up in a new game engine.
Someone took the Unity red flag production facility seriously.
Hopefully we’ll see some upstream work from these guys too.
Yeeees!
More things GODOT, please
Dave’s Fun Algebra Class: Remastered
Dave is back, baby.
Psychedelic math problems.
I went digging around and can’t tell if this is some beloved web 1.0 thing or memes.
People seem to like it.
Some Windows maze screensaver vibes from the graphics.
Based on Baldi’s Basics, which is an independent survival horror education parody game by Mystman12 Aka Micah Mcgonagle
You can play it in a browser https://baldigames.com
Steam: Game Updates
Murder pixels on the high seas.
Dude, if we get muti ship battles.
Will there be machinima recreations of famous naval battles in Besiege?
I’d love for there to be some
Having to slide in a fluid dynamics engine into an already existing physics sandbox game can’t be easy
Boats, submarine and even a kraken
Gotta have that kraken
This is the Block Flag people have been waiting for.
That trailer makes we want to get murdering… but only if it’s online.
Don’t miss the ball on this one.
Big chonky update coming for the Fallouts on April 25.
One of them being official Steam Deck verification.
Gotta pounce on the publicity from that new show what came out
I still don’t have a bethesda.net account, so I never got to play any of the creation club paid mods to this day.
Neither did anyone in China untill recently
News:
Joshie got the ball rolling a few weeks back with the lack of proper vsync making Wayland not a suitable default for SDL 3.
Given how neither the NVidia driver or most compositors currently support explicit sync as we’ve discovered, there’s now a concentrated effort to implement a protocol which works correctly with all of these.
Good!
I mentioned it last time, but really no one seemed to know this was an issue so a big kudos to Joshie again.
If he wasn’t my favorite froggie boi, he certainly is now!
Another piece of the puzzle is getting sorted and we’re chipping our way through to our wacky new Wayland future
That’s a bold fucking statement there, Cotton!
Saying how you can’t secure Linux when you can’t even stop cheating on your own game
Once again shifting the onus of security and data integrity onto the users, rather than themselves as the developers of the software.
I don’t trust game developers to be able to release a stable/secure game, I sure as shit wouldn’t trust them with kernel level access.
Apparently Riot are so good in their little echo chamber, that there is no chance of a false positive that is actually their fault.
Seriously, get fucked!
800 people were playing LOL on Linux according to their metrics.
They crunched the numbers and have decided to pull the plug.
Not that they supported Linux in the first place but at least they took the time to give people a heads up.
If you are willing to install an always-on anti-cheat system on your machine you might as well run Windows.
1 in 15 games is the rate they’re detecting cheaters, 10% of all master ranked games
Cuz they can’t validate remote calls from their server, they need to check every running process on your system
Some windows 11 PCs are also affected if they’re missing or have weird TPM2.0 modules
Apparently they just don’t give a shit about mac.
If you’re gonna consistently be a jerk online people are going to start talking
A lot of the evidence collection is based off leetify where you can post replays and the like
Yeah, I like the “and here the fkr is being all cheaty” section in each report.
Yet they are cheaters so I doubt any amount of public shaming will bother them.
Smash that report button, fam.
I agree with the name and shame wall of fame concept!
If you use this project to run an illegal public server and not for testing and learning it is your own personal choice.
We’re learning from the Yuzu debacle
Open source reverse engineered WOW-compaitible server written in C++
Forked from MaNGOS
I guess another take on game preservation could be blanket reverse engineering protection?
Like, a general FU to any company trying to bring something to court.
More stuff like this and not just for WoW.
There really needs to be a way for people to be allowed to keep playing these always online games even after the servers go down.

It immediately detected the Dual Sense and Dual Shock in chrome.
I didn’t try the actual calibration since both of them are fine still.
It thinks my Spoker V4 is counterfeit when connected over bluetooth.
Yeah, I spent 20 minutes watching YT videos, checking Reddit post, finding the box… and weighing it.
I’m 100% 97% certain that it’s legit.
100% legit when plugged in.
You can’t fake that hot pink authenticity
Controller integration in the browser like this are gonna be a cornerstone of our game streaming future
Neat that the browser flags the same controller over BT/wired and doesn’t make you reauthorize it
