The only thing I want from GoG for Linux is a game download in 1 file instead of many. I spent an hour today trying to install the DLC for Yakuza Like a Dragon and it just would not detect the game installation.

Ended up downloading the whole thing from Fitgirl instead because it's better service.

From Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

Update - it's not good :(

I refunded it.

Yeah, I went full wireless headphones, keyboard and mouse once upon a time. Then I would have one of them run out of batteries while raiding in WoW or doing WvW in GW2. I went back to wired after that.

Ahh, but have you considered buying wires made of silver for your hi-fi? They're a bargain at only £200 per metre!

I haven't played any earlier ones as they're a bit old for my tastes. I've completed Ys VIII and played some of Ys IX but couldn't say much about it. When I searched the same question before I started, the consensus seemed to be start with Ys VIII then Ys IX. The games aren't in chronological order though so just play what seems interesting.

The newer one, Ys X Nordics, I also haven't played due to the controversy surrounding it (they released it in Oct 2024 then a couple of months later announced a different version that was released in Feb 2026 with more content and QOL added - if you wanted the update you had to buy the whole game again!).

Can't say I have a favourite one to play as when I finish one I rarely go back. My favourites that I've played so far are Dragon Quest XI, Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana and Ruined King.

I reckon they'll be fine. Crate seems to be a very well run studio that so far (for 18 years) makes pretty sensible decisions.

They have no investors and they self-publish so there's that too.

Yep, I had to do this for my Ducky TKL keyboard.

This is actually the last expansion for it.

They have said they're doing Grim Dawn 2 but it'll be quite a few years until it's out (like 2030+). They're working on an RTS set in Cairn (the setting of Grim Dawn) which they've developed their own engine for. While working on that they got the itch to do one last expansion for Grim Dawn. Once the RTS is done they'll fork the engine to make Grim Dawn 2.

This is from an interview that Chris Wilson (of PoE fame) did with Arthur Bruno (CEO of Crate Entertainment who make Grim Dawn).

Yeah, I definitely could have worded that better.

It's offline and has no real money gacha gambling.

 

From the video description:

Back in October, Rockstar Games fired 34 employees for alleged gross misconduct.

The severity of these firings could have spelled the end for a burgeoning union effort that was underway, but it didn't.

In fact, the union is now bigger than it's ever been. How did that happen? And what comes next?

It's pretty much single player Genshin!

From a Steam review:

The gear crafting, guild system, and hunts remind me of Monster Hunter, the exploration and questing remind me of MMOs like FF14, the puzzles remind me of Crimson Desert super easy mode, the team combat is a bit of Granblue or Dragons Dogma 2 on super speed, and the truly open colorful world and towers remind me of Zelda. It's grindy, but in a good way, because progression feels rewarded by gameplay - every currency you need you get by playing - and there is actually a ton of depth with your team synergies, equipment bonus set stacking, skill combos, and more. You can team up with your friends and loved ones in raids and dungeons, or just farm for the specific stuff you want yourself in between the main quest lines. There is also mount and pet collecting, cooking, mini games, and a lot of stuff to do for the low price. It really does feel like an offline fully open world MMO. The graphics, animations, and general style are all also over the top pretty and extremely well done.

Nice! You can even set up email notifications based on wishlist categories now rather than the whole wishlist.

 

The Instagram accounts for the Obama White House and the Chief Master Sergeant of the U.S. Space Force were briefly defaced with pro-Iranian images and messages over the weekend, after instructions began circulating on Telegram showing how to trick Meta’s “AI support assistant” bot into resetting account passwords...

Square Enix confirmed that the team is hard at work on XII but due to a reshuffle and restart of development, it will be a bit longer before you will be able to play it. After hitting hurdles during development, it was restarted from scratch.

 

... This is going to be a bit long winded, so I'll do a TL:DR version: If you enjoy Michael's stories, and you like Tim's narration, and if you use Audible.com - you may want to take immediate action. Go to your Audible library and make sure that every single title is currently in it. If not, either buy credits, use credits, or purchase any missing titles for cash before the end of the year. If you do - they should be yours to listen to whenever you want. If not, you may loose access to them for a long, long time.

I should note that the above statement ONLY applies to the Tim Gerard Reynolds versions. It is not an issue for Graphic Audio full cast recordings (at least I don't think so). ...

"Until this past weekend, a contractor for the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) maintained a public GitHub repository that exposed credentials to several highly privileged AWS GovCloud accounts and a large number of internal CISA systems. Security experts said the public archive included files detailing how CISA builds, tests and deploys software internally, and that it represents one of the most egregious government data leaks in recent history." ...

 

Pretty standard no-knead recipe. This time though I replaced half the water with Erdinger alcohol free beer and rubbed some butter into the flour for a softer crust.

AI-based assistants or “agents” — autonomous programs that have access to the user’s computer, files, online services and can automate virtually any task — are growing in popularity with developers and IT workers. But as so many eyebrow-raising headlines over the past few weeks have shown, these powerful and assertive new tools are rapidly shifting the security priorities for organizations, while blurring the lines between data and code, trusted co-worker and insider threat, ninja hacker and novice code jockey...
