It’s a pretty audacious title to have for a game. First, it makes the pronoun “you,” rather than “we” or “they.” You suck at parking! Second, it claims that you already suck at parking, even though you haven’t even played the game. And yet, I have to admit, true to the name of the game, I suck at parking. You Suck at Parking is basically a game where you control a car, and your goal is to get it parked in the desiginated area.

A little over a week ago Valve pushed an update to the Preview branch that reverted a VRAM workaround for Red Dead Redemption 2 and fixed some issues regarding random stutter and performance drops if the performance HUD was enabled. Well, that update is now available in the Stable branch, starting today. There’s also improved performance for Forza Horizon 5 from a beta update that shipped a couple of days later.

The past few beta updates to the Steam Deck client have now been pushed to the stable branch. Notably, some fixes were added to Offline Mode, a couple of fixes to the on-screen keyboard have made it in, and the hot/cold temperature notification has temporarily been disabled “while we address issues with false postives.” Patch notes are as follows: Offline Mode Fixes We’re continuing to look at making the user experience of playing games without an Internet connection a better, more intuitive experience.

Proton 7.0-3 has now bumped to 7.0-4. Included in this update are seven newly playable titles: Aquarist - My First Job Trove Chuzzle Deluxe Zuma’s Revenge! Karmaflow The Rock Opera Videogame - Act I & Act II The Rising of the Shield Hero: Relive The Animation Disgaea 5 Quite a number of bugs have been fixed, including game-specific fixes for Elden Ring, Final Fantasy XIV, and Civilization IV: Fix Elden Ring getting stuck on a white screen on first launch.

Small update out for Beta and Preview Steam Deck-ers. Today’s Deck client update (beta) mostly focuses on improving the offline experience. Patch notes are as follows: Fixed issue where rebooting while in Steam Offline Mode would cause games to fail to launch Fixed the Cloud Sync error notification popping up when offline Disabled Steam Offline Mode button when not connected to the internet, as trying to do this currently gets Steam Deck into a bad state.

I have been informed of a bundle of games on Steam that are all available natively for Linux. It’s called the Linux & Chill bundle. It consists of six titles, ranging from a Chess-like game to unraveling colorful, abstract designs one color at a time. Seems like it mostly consists of puzzle-like games. Per the description from the Steam store page: A bundle for those who are often forgotten. From developers who care for Linux users and want them to chill while playing a variety of relaxing games.

Steam Deck I recently compared Ryujinx against Yuzu. Yuzu won, but take it with a grain of salt as it’s using half-resolution the Portal skin – it’s amazing. Raffle is still going on! the DeckMate is a pretty nice accessory new beta Deck client update fixes stuttering and adds keyboard fixes. If you’re opted into the Preview branch, you’ll also get a performance improvement with Forza Horizon 5 we could be seeing an update to the kernel soon we’ve hit a little over 4.

LGC has had a Matrix server for a while. But after long deliberation – despite the fact that Discord is proprietary – I’ve decided to create a Discord server. As much as I want to stick with FOSS as much as I can, the reality is most gamers and content creators alike are on Discord. On the Discord, you’re free to talk about pretty much anything that’s on your mind. Right now I mostly see it as a place to talk about the Steam Deck and Melee.

The developers of XEL make a bold claim that it’s a Zelda-like action RPG. You play as a female protagonist who ends up crash landing on a 3D sci-fi planet. She has no collection of who she is or why she’s there. She doesn’t even know her own name. The goal in XEL is to find out more about this girl’s mysterious past, as you explore the world in which she lands.

I have been informed yesterday by the developer of Justin Wack and the Big Time Hack that it will be coming to Linux day one when the game launches later this month, on the 23rd. It’s a point & click adventure that’s apparently set in the 90’s, where there’s time travel and robots. Per the description from the Steam store page: A cozy 2D Point & Click adventure featuring multiple playable characters and plenty of silliness.
