Gaming (FOSS)

This isn’t a guide, just something i think may help. To install Steam on an Arch-based distro in most of the cases a simple sudo pacman -S steam will do just fine.

“Find and join gaming sessions for dead games, niche mods, and retro netplay, or schedule your own. No account needed.”

I think that just leaves VRR for complete HDMI 2.1, although it will likely be a while before this all trickles down to mainline kernels. Presumably Freesync over HDMI will work too for even earlier support.

Very briefly tested the AppImage. It complained that my dump of the game wasn’t a supported version (SHA-1 hash mismatch), but the intro ran. For more I would have had to plug in a gamepad.

Hi everyone,

Hey Dungeoneers,

We just released Update 3.1 for our FOSS multiplayer cooking game Hurry Curry! with a new map voting system for multiple players, an updated lobby and tons of new improvements!

While I prefer Dynahack these days for the more luxurious TUI and additional content, Nethack has been one of my favourites from as far back as my Amiga days. Once you realise you can at least try to do anything with anything¹ (use the * wildcard character when asked for an item), the game opens up in ways most RPGs just can’t.

Linux is down slightly after a peak month, but probably that month had Linux over-represented. This month we see English down a bit too, Chinese is up a little.

The two original developers of ZSNES are finally back together! Introducing SUPER ZSNES! Re-written completely from scratch, this GPU-powered SNES emulator is here to bring you the following: some of what is familiar, some of what’s new, and then some of what goes beyond.

Seedfinder is back! I reworked it entirely based on Electrochecker’s updated shpd-toolkit. It can handle seed searching, seed scouting, and daily run scouting.

While previously considered not to be available on Linux, LACT now has a VF curve editor for Nvidia GPUs that allows for more precise tweaking in a similar manner to Windows tools such as MSI Afterburner.

Hey Dungeoneers,

I’m getting back to a project I started in 2024 but got to pause it (couldn’t find anyone to help me). It’s called SuperTux Smasher (formerly SuperTuxBattleMelee), a platform fighter featuring Tux and other mascots in the open source community
