Man. This has been a long release in the making. But it’s finally here: Godot 4. After several alpha releases, it’s now hit beta. While it may be in beta, it has entered a feature-freeze state, meaning that once Godot 4 has become stable, it’s still going to be the same thing that you’ve got now, only that the bugs have been ironed out. For those not aware, Godot is a great FOSS alternative to engines like Unity and Unreal Engine.

I’m not old enough to have personally witnessed the events of the 1960s. Pope Paul, Malcolm X, British Politician Sex. J.F.K. blown away, what else do I have to say? But, if you happen to have lived and experienced the 60s, and want to see this period of time parodied, then look no further than Destroy All Humans! 2. The original took place in 1959. The sequel takes place in 1969.

Remember that so-called “Quality of Life” update that 2K recently pushed out for the BioShock series? Remember how it added a launcher and as a result got review bombed on Steam? Remember how it broke Proton compatibility? Well, GE-Proton7-33 is here to the rescue. Yes, you’ll still have to deal with the launcher, but the games should now work. Not only this, but Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto V have also received fixes, thanks to GE-Proton7-33 pulling in the latest changes from Wine.

Though you could freely work on your own Deck with replacement parts from iFixit, Valve has finally launched their service support centers. Now should you have broken parts and are too nervous to fix it yourself, you can send it over: If you encounter an issue and need to send your Steam Deck for repair or replacement, devices will now go to one of our repair centers. Once there, our team will diagnose the device, repair if needed, then ship the fixed unit back to you.

As Phoronix had spotted earlier today, Distrobox – a wrapper that creates and uses containers (like a distro) that are highly integrated into the host machine – got a pretty big update with 1.4.0. I won’t go over the changes, but I will say this: there’s now documentation on how to get Distrobox set up on the Steam Deck. Just look under the “SteamOS 3” section on their table. Simply run steamos-readonly disable via the terminal to disable the immutable file system, then follow their installation instructions for Arch Linux or install Podman to $HOME.

KIWI TALKZ interviews various employees (or ex-employees) from Valve and Retro Studios. He was the one who conducted the famous interview with Valve writer Eric Wolpaw, who had expressed his interest in writing Portal 3. Well, there’s also the interview with Portal 2 lead designer Josh Weier. There was one interesting clip where he talks about how Super Metroid influenced the introduction to Portal 2: We had this problem in the game which was if you just played Portal, we didn’t want to make you learn portals all again.

Remember that point-and-click game Splittown that I had talked about a couple of months ago? The Linux port of that game is becoming more and more of a reality. Someone had asked in the Steam forums what the status is as far as Linux support. A developer of the game responded: We’re using Visionaire Studio, which supports Linux porting, so it’s very much a possibility, but we haven’t explored that very much as of yet, since we’re still putting the game together.

Well, this is perhaps one of the strangest games that I’ve ever come across. It’s the year 2000. You play as Jaska, who goes on vacation to a little island known as Muhvijärvi in Finland. You’ve apparently crashed your car into a moose, and someone has robbed your summer cottage. Now you’ll have to find some way to regain your peace of mind, while helping your neighbors “have a nice midsummer festival.
