Best of 2021

* Skul and Wildermyth were the top Linux games which aren’t in Early Access still, and we threw chairs at both.

* Valheim being the one that still is in Early Access.

* It’s a bit sad to see only 3 Linux games make the top of the new releases.

* Everything is a Linux game in 2022.

* There’s also CSGO, DOTA, War Thunder, Euro Truck Sim 2, The Binding of Isaac, etc. which were released in prior years but still made very good sales.

Super Deck Resolution

* Yes, FSR will be the biggest game changer for power limited, temperature dependent, portable gaming machines.

* You’ll be able to set a lower resolution and since the screen is so small, you’ll still be able to have a good looking experience with less power used.

* I dicked around with FSR a bit on the thursday stream.

* FSR strength 2 might be a bit too much for dexter deshawn.

* Squeezing out as much pretty as possible on low settings is what is really going to be the real difference between this and other handhelds.

* Dude has issues getting DLSS to work on Linux? How?

* FSR does work with HZD but you left out that is looks bad and the bonus RGB plants.

* Member, FSR works with Lutris.

GE 7.0rc3

* ESO doesn’t crash on launch anymore

* Neither does STEEP. Which I guess is just SKIIP

* It fixes the RNG of trying to launch Path of Exile.

Steam: New Games

Super Early Access

* Listing ReactOS under the windows system requirements is *chefs kiss*

* I really hope valve mails their project head a nice $100 gift card

* I look forward to throwing chairs at it when it’s no longer in Early Access.

* WHAR SuperTuxKart!??.

* This is a super good way to keep track of FLOSS software.

* Just ask Blender or GODOT.

Steam: Game Updates

Drive updates

* Input buffers for a game all about speedrunning and pressing the right buttons at the right time, that’s going to make a marked difference.

* Any of you cheaty cheaty mccheaters who have the 100% glitch will have to earn all your stuff legitimately now.

* Input buffers?

* Ground pound animation can now be canceled.

* Better wall jump.

* Ctrl+f online coop.

Red Teleporters

* They added Portals to the level editor

* You can throw things, bodies,
