Thinking more on all this #AI shite and search engines. It just makes RSS and social media following more important than ever before right?

Ways to properly follow what you want.

Good thing @gamingonlinux has and RSS feed: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/rss/

Epic €1.1m fined for breaking EU consumer law in Netherlands

"The investigation also found that countdown timers were used on some advertisements for items that were still available in the shop even after the countdown ended."

Naughty naughty.

Moderating can be hilarious. Banned someone on the @gamingonlinux website recently for being terrible.

They made a new account, and the new email used was literally their old username. They were being terrible again, so banned.

They just emailed to complain, claiming no ban evasion as it’s their first account.

My dude, your old original account email is basically the full name you just used to email me abbreviated 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

The more I use a Steam Deck, the more I feel big boxes hooked permanently to a single TV are ridiculous.

Pick up and play anywhere, with the ability to hook up to a TV is just…so much better!

If Valve doesn’t do a Steam Deck 2 I will be quite sad.

The OLED design is basically perfect. Just bump up the APU in 2 years time 👌

Sigh. Google flagged https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/classic-rts-perimeter-returns-as-perimeter-legate-edition-with-linux-support/page=1/ as containing "Malicious or unwanted software" with no way on the adsense control panel to speak to them, to get them to recheck it.

It's a news article about a game, that links to the GPL source code (GitHub) and a Steam page.

What about that is "Malicious or unwanted software" exactly?

If you wondering how I deal with anti-trans people in the @gamingonlinux Discord this should give you an idea:

I don't stand for it.

PSA - If your Steam Deck or Steam on Linux has started failing to download or launch Proton games, you may have caught a bad config from Valve's servers.

We believe the problem is fixed now, but you need to delete a cache file locally (~/.steam/steam/userdata/<steamid>/config/compat.vdf where <steamid> is your id).

See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10846 for details.

I love how when coding it's like

• i'll just do this
• okay now i need to do this
• this needs sorting too
• oh, it's all broken now

The amount of people that keep posting about being on “Main” for Steam Deck updates, then complaining on Reddit about stuff broken 🤦‍♂️

Stop. Using. It.

It’s hidden behind developer options for a reason.

Want to test stuff early that’s somewhat ready? Stick to Preview.

Crytivo just get more weird.

First they started pandering to Musk, trying to get his attention and wanting him as a god in their game...

Now they're posting about boob physics for a farming game.

Every time I see an age-gate.

Me: flicks the mouse wheel, why yes, I was born in 1960 thank you for letting me in.

Are you an #IndieDev planning to launch a game on #Steam this year that will support #Linux?

Be sure I'm following you! Hi! And leave a link to your game, duh :)

The death of physical media gives me so many mixed feelings.

On the one hand, it's kinda wasteful isn't it. All those plastic boxes.

On the other: you don't know when digital will just be taken away from you. And at some point it probably will be taken away from you somehow.

Makes me nostalgic for the times opening presents when younger, and even only a few years ago, and it was some cool game or Bluray/DVD.
