The Aleph One developers have now put all three of Bungie's (Halo / Destiny) classic FPS series on Steam with Classic Marathon Infinity now available free. Not only that, all three now also have Steam Workshop support with the update to the Aleph One open source game engine that powers all three games. The developers are still choosing not to put up the Native Linux versions though, so you'll either need to set them to use Proton, or if you do wish to run them with Linux builds there's Luxtorpeda.

Bungie retro FPS Marathon Infinity now on Steam, whole trilogy get Steam Workshop support

What this does is just highlight a problem with buying multiplayer games that aren't explicitly said to be supported on your platform. Proton is incredible, it does enable tens of thousands of games to run on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux, but in times like this EA can just write it off without a bother. How? Well, it's not EA selling it to you saying it's supported to run their Windows game it via Proton.

You'll need to use Proton to play it, but as some good news right away, it is already Steam Deck Verified ahead of the newly revealed October 15th release date. So that means it will be good to go on normal desktop Linux too! Check out the new trailer:

Steam's market dominance remains unchallenged, with Valve taking a consistent 30% cut of sales for over a decade. While other tech services evolve, Steam's lack of significant changes reflects a unique stability in the industry. Despite potential for abuse, Valve's commitment to consumer satisfaction sets Steam apart as a model...

Asus and MSI revealed a slew of new motherboards at Gamescom 2024, and some of them seem to take convenience in PC building to the next level. A few of the motherboard models introduced during the event come with quick-release mechanisms, and not just for the SSD but also for the graphics card. Seeing as some of the top GPUs are now massive and unwieldy, easier installation is going to be a welcome change.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Another new take on what Vampire Survivors and Brotato made popular? Yep. Cat Bait is out now in Early Access and there's a demo available too. Much like all the others there's plenty of randomness, and lots of running around collecting something (coins in this case) to upgrade abilities. However, the idea here is that you don't have any abilities directly. Instead, you hire helper cats that stand on top of the walls that use their abilities to help you dodge all the rats and other nasties out to get you. As the name suggests, you're just bait.
