DRAG Will Finally Be Getting an Update with a Campaign Mode and Progression System

DRAG Will Finally Be Getting an Update with a Campaign Mode and Progression System
DRAG is a tough-as-nails racing game that’s available natively on Linux. It went to Steam in early access, and it hasn’t been updated in over a year (and unsurprisingly, the developers didn’t get back to me when I asked on their Discord how progress was coming along). But now it seems like we’ve finally got an update. Not an actual software update; just a general update on what the roadmap for the game is.

Yesterday I got invited to a Zoom press conference by HP and System76 in regards to HP’s Dev One laptop. Here were some of the key points I picked up on.

Nobara Project - All your Gaming Needs Fulfilled
As reported recently by Boiling Steam, it appears Fedora is on the rise for Linux gamers, according to stats on ProtonDB. It grew from 3.7% of total reporters in 2019 to 10.2% in just a few years.

Characters Finally Breathe New Life with Voices in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl

Characters Finally Breathe New Life with Voices in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl got a much-needed quality-of-life update. Previously, characters had no voices, although you could technically mod them in. It made matches feel empty. Well that’s no longer the case as of today’s update. All characters now have voices as they jump, do a smash attack, or taunt. I’m happy to see my favorite character, Jenny Wakeman, still voiced by the same actress as the show that she was in: Janice Kawaye.

I’ve never heard of the company before, didn’t even bother to check any reviews before I bought it, but I got it anyway.
