This actually looks really good! I'll have to ask the missus for an advance on my pocket money πŸ˜€

Easy fix: have a two-hour intro video that you can't skip ;-)

Steam Lepton now shows up in the search bar. in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Trouble is, when I hear about Lepton I keep thinking of the 1980s Repton games... ;-)

Lutris maintainer: "I've removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what's generated and what is not." in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

I've been using Lutris for several years, but after reading about the LLM additions, I've removed it from my system and am now solely using Heroic for my non-Steam games.

Glad I switched over in 2006!

Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
[–] monstoor@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Rarely. My PC works fine when it's left on and that's good enough for me! It gets rebooted after updates but only ever switched off when I go away for a few days.

Story-heavy tactical CRPG 'ATOM RPG 2' announced in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Looking forward to this one. Both ATOM RPG and Trudograd hit the spot for me :-)

The SΓ©ance of Blake Manor (store.steampowered.com)
 

This game was released on 27th October. It sounded like my kind of thing, so I picked it up last night with a small discount from Gamesplanet.

It's a 'native' Unity3D game which is always preferred. Whilst I've only played about 30min so far, I've survived the first night and have solved the initial puzzle! Controls are the usual mouse/WASD style with the pointer changing where things can be interacted with. Supernatural mysteries are right up my street, so I will report back later when I've progressed further.

Recommended :-)

So how do I install/play cracked games? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

The best place to ask is Linux Crack Support.

Dusk HD announced (native) (store.steampowered.com)
 

The blurb:

"DUSK HD is now a FULL VISUAL REMASTER OF DUSK.

We have remade every enemy, every weapon, every model, every texture, EVERY THING. FOR YOU. FOR FREE. YOU'RE WELCOME.

We still have some work to do! But expect a full ON / OFF style comparison trailer around Halloween.

Then full launch with the SDK + Steam Workshop around DUSK's 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY in December.

The HD models, textures, weapons, etc will all be available on the Steam Workshop as free downloads and not integrated into the base game until you install them!

This is all completely optional! IF YOU LIKE DUSK JUST HOW IT IS THAT'S GREAT!

And YES you WILL be able to use both the old and these new assets to create anything you want with the SDK and upload your own creations to the workshop as well. We can't wait to see it.

Because DOOM may be Eternal but DUSK is FOREVER. ...Or something."

Strange fullscreen problem with Kalevania (europe.pub)
 

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone can suggest what's going on here? When I launch Kalevania, the game starts in a small window in the top-left corner of the screen.

If I attempt to maximise it (pressing F), I get a small portion of the game screen as shown in the attached image.

If I press F again, the game returns to a small window. Editing the game's config file seems to have no effect.

The dev cannot seem to replicate the problem. My system is OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma, Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti with driver 535.86.05, running X.

Other specs: Kernel: 6.4.3-1-default Shell: bash 5.2.15 Resolution: 1920x1200 DE: Plasma 5.27.6 WM: KWin WM Theme: plastik Theme: Breeze Dark [Plasma], Adwaita [GTK2], Breeze [GTK3] Icons: Shiny-Dark-Icons [Plasma], Shiny-Dark-Icons [GTK2/3] Terminal: terminology Terminal Font: DejaVu Sans Mono CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (24) @ 5.352GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Memory: 11497MiB / 31975MiB

Any help would be much appreciated!
