Wired and wireless X-Box 360 controllers with the built-in kernel drivers, generally hassle-free these days!

Sounds like it — it was posted by The Elder Scrolls Online, not Valve. (Edit: Yes, of course this still means Proton.)

I guess they just don’t want to bother with it any more?

 

As reported by GamingOnLinux, the folks behind the modern Myst-like Quern have a native Linux demo out on Steam for an exploration-heavy first-person adventure game called Dimhaven Enigmas.

There’s a Kickstarter with tons of additional information.

In an age of native Linux support getting dropped or passed over I hope it goes well for them.

And if you’re into that sort of thing, Quern is currently 80% off. (Though it’s also 80% off if you’re not into that sort of thing)

 

Note that when the changelog mentions "Windows builds" or "Mac builds", they mean the games, not builds of Heroic itself… I think.

Yes. I think Elder Scrolls Online and Guild Wars 2 were my last "anchors" to Windows (7, at the time). I barely ever booted into it… I wanted to be NOT IN WINDOWS more than I wanted to play games. But I did keep it around until there just wasn’t anything left that I wanted to run but couldn’t, or not well. The first Humble Indie Bundles with games like FEZ and Limbo had been out by that point as well. I’ve generally made sure not to buy too “crazy” hardware (like Bluetooth controllers… yes, I’m old and a neophobe and I don’t know what else).

Love the little lights winding their way across your desk!

They are the same game in many ways, but Paradroid has a flat top-down view with smooth omni-directional scrolling and can quickly become FAST AND DEADLY on any of the more dangerous decks…

This Quazatron? I’ve always adored Quazatron in static screenshots in magazines. An isometric/3D-ish Paradroid?! <3! But I guess the Zedex was too alien to me to get around to it.

That could be sweet. Of course, they’ve already tried that, but SteamOS wasn’t really ready then.

And I suppose anyone can get a random mini PC and install Steam on it…

 

Text descriptions, neofetches, photos; it’s all fine!

As a non-owner of either handheld, I tentatively agree and would still rather get a Steam Deck.

Jumbling up that bit of rote code was the joke! But the semicolon isn’t supposed to end the line; it tells BASIC to suppress the newline after the print statement. Makes for a better endlessly scrolling text experience ;)

This is not really a thing yet.

Hoo boy; we have all sorts of formatting options here!
