- Comment on Delta Force devs say Desktop Linux support is 'not part of our agenda in the future' 6 days ago:
There are several games working on proton with anti cheat. Saying no to Linux means saying no to me, so guess I won’t play that one!
- Comment on Lenovo - Legion Go S with Valve's SteamOS gets a price increase at Best Buy 1 week ago:
I can think of one big reason why …
- Comment on Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company 1 week ago:
The problem with revolt is that they didn’t do federation, so every server is going to be limited to people who want accounts on that one, and discord has shown us that people want one interface to see all of their servers. So I’m not surprised. I like their UI, but they need to federate with other servers.
As for hosting I understand what you’re saying. There’s a few options to host your own with a couple of clicks online, but paid of course. To test it out I’d say set up on a smaller instance and see how you like it. It’s rougher than discord for sure, but I’ve tried all of the others and it’s where I’m landing.
- Comment on Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company 1 week ago:
If I’m not mistaken, that might be a server or app level item. You’re using the element app with matrix org. Try something like the fluffychat app, or maybe another server if you prefer. If you go to matrix.org you can see all of the servers
- Comment on Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company 1 week ago:
It’s also federated, so anyone can run a server and any of your users can join any other servers. I’ve been slowly migrating my discord server over to it
- Comment on "We have no official information on an Oblivion remake," say Bethesda, which isn't a denial, is it 3 weeks ago:
Starfield?
- Comment on Civilization 7's next update will make food actually worth investing in and let you play forever, if you've got that long 3 weeks ago:
Oh my god my friends and I were PISSED. The game just ended! You made it through the third age! Congrats! Game ends. We were just entering into a major war and had a strategy planned out, we were moving troops then it was just over.
No more one more turn, no more alternate victory conditions, just done. Very unsatisfying end, and that was about 4 days of play to get there. Really soured us all
- Comment on Should I say fuck it and buy a steam deck now? Before all the tariffs hit. 4 weeks ago:
Even separate from that, if OP does not have at least a few months of savings, even in good times, their number one priority should be saving. If they do not have savings then they are not in the position to buy
- Comment on Amazon Luna and Electronic Arts sign a multi-year deal, as Luna expands into more countries 5 weeks ago:
I say good tbh. There’s a lot of people who can’t afford big gaming rigs and cloud gaming closes that gap. As long as I get to still play the way I always have them in happy
- Comment on HP are interested in making a SteamOS handheld as the Windows experience sucks 5 weeks ago:
Of course, I don’t think anyone would expect anything different, but what’s better is that they’re legitimizing steamos, and by extension Linux more and more by each one jumping on
- Comment on Playable GTA 6 map mod Project Vice is no more following Take-Two copyright strike 1 month ago:
Oh yeah because someone was going to play this and think “guess I don’t need to buy the real one now”.
- Comment on GNOME 48 released with Notification Stacking, Performance Improvements and initial HDR support 1 month ago:
Woop!
- Comment on Xbox, stop trying to make Silksong happen, it's not going to happen 1 month ago:
There’s not even an article! Not even a sentence! They didn’t even finish the meme!?
- Comment on Following the nightmare footage of AI-loy, Horizon actor Ashly Burch shares her stance on the whole debacle 1 month ago:
That’s fine, they actor just needs to be compensated for it. Right now they’re trying to argue that you have them your voice, tough titties get out they’ll use it how they want. I think there should be a completely separate payment system if they want to train on their voice too.
- Comment on Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 1 month ago:
See, this is why I’m disappointed with revolt. Because it’s such an amazing interface and replaces discord 1:1, but I can’t recommend it because they don’t have federation. So I have to make an account for every server, which is a non starter for me and most of my friends.
- Comment on Respawn Entertainment Just Killed Their Unannounced Incubation Team Project 1 month ago:
Why be interested in anything that any game company announced? They can just kill it tomorrow. Talk about burning bridges
- Comment on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 Officially Confirmed 1 month ago:
*officially until they close the game studio
- Comment on Half-Life 3 is just the hot exclusive Valve needs to propel SteamOS past Windows 2 months ago:
But, maybe we can make a super clickbaity article anyway?
- Comment on Innersloth announce Among Us 3D by kicking Among Us VR into a crusher 2 months ago:
The big problem with 3d is that you’ll never get your friend group to all join the same platform. The great thing about among us is that I could have friends join from their 3 thousand dollar gaming rigs or their phone. It saved us during covid.
Unless you can still join from other devices, but I’m not sure who would have the advantage.
- Comment on These are the text messages that allegedly got a former Bungie executive fired, according to a court document written by Sony 2 months ago:
Holy shit, it is worth reading the article for those texts.
He’s guilty AF, and now he’s whining that he won’t get his payout? Maybe you don’t be a creepo level 10000
- Comment on Make your complaints heard about bad games, says Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, but "your $70 doesn't buy you cruelty" 2 months ago:
I didn’t think it was bad, I honestly enjoyed it. I think people are too polarized, it’s either baulders gate or it’s trash. I disagree. It wasn’t top tier, but that doesn’t mean it was bad either. It’s okay to have a mid game.
- Comment on Mesa 25.0 open source graphics drivers released with Vulkan 1.4 and initial AMD RDNA4 support 2 months ago:
It was, the blue and red have an optical illusion with my eyes, it really looks like 3d to me, even as a 2d image
- Comment on Mesa 25.0 open source graphics drivers released with Vulkan 1.4 and initial AMD RDNA4 support 2 months ago:
Okay unrelated, but do the cogs in the mesa graphic there look 3d to anyone else? Is it intentional? Trick of the eyes? Brilliant if they did it on purpose
- Comment on Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam 2 months ago:
Valve and I have trust. 20 years of it. They are there, have fair prices, let me play where and when I want, no gotchas, I trust them. Sure tomorrow they could break that trust, but so far they haven’t.
Then Amazon, who has continuously ruined my trust. Adding ads to an ad free prime tier, lying about delivery times, getting shittier and cheaper products on their store, and oh yeah, just being an evil company. And they wonder why I never even looked at their store.
- Comment on Ubisoft Financial Briefing Reveals Massive Loss In Revenue 2 months ago:
2024 was arguably the lowest point the company had in many years, with things getting so bad that the company’s leadership has been called into question many times
Never before this, no one ever stopped to think if they were doing a good job or if their plans made sense. There was a clear downward trend, the seawater was coming in and people were jumping out, but they decided it was fine. Now it’s half in the water and maybe it’s time to wonder if they’re doing a good job
- Comment on Ubisoft Financial Briefing Reveals Massive Loss In Revenue 2 months ago:
I’m doing my part!
- Comment on GTA 6 publishers think PC is of "increasing" importance in 2025, but still won't announce the magic date 2 months ago:
Multiplayer is a crapshoot, singleplayer I’m more surprised when something doesn’t work. I was able to play Veilguard day one using proton. Madden 2025 they explicitly banned linux. Just always check protondb.com before purchasing.

As long as it works with proton I’m happy. There have been a few games that go out of their way to prevent proton compatibility.

I’ll be buying it, no shame in saying that. Just only once, and only on PC, as long as they don’t block Linux. I’ve waited 10 years for a new installment. What’s one more
