The classic flash game Happy Wheels is now available to purchase on Steam. Ahhh, nostalgia. Nice to see this game will live forever.
TL;DR this is a huge overhaul of the popular open-source audio editing app. The UI specifically has been the biggest overhaul, making it a lot more modern and friendly to use.
Hopefully, one day, GIMP will get some kind of update like this.

It’s real! First footage and gameplay impressions of Fromsoft’s next game.
If you’re on a computer that can’t run a web browser in 2026 I’m out of words honestly.
Also, Godot exported to the web would definitely run worse than a game made directly for the browser.
So what? Why are you acting like it’s a great scam or grand conspiracy? It is the web game - now on Steam. It wasn’t advertised as anything more than just a version of the web game you can play for a few dollars. Are you upset it’s bundling Electron instead of the game being re-written in Assembly for maximum optimization? It’s a very simple game that runs on everything. But thanks for the cynical breakdown of the technology used, I guess.
Why is this a problem?
It’s hard to convey why you lost because it’s often the result of a lot of mistakes that accumulate over time, such as the lack of building any income.
That said a lot of tower defenses have a sorta clear reason why you lost, such as a boss or a type of enemy you didn’t deal with properly. In BTD6, if you lost from a big zeppelin then you don’t have much single target damage. If you lost from camo bloons, then you lack camo detection, etc. It’s usually fairly obvious why you lost, and if you have multiple lanes then maybe you didn’t care for a specific one.
RIP Heart Machine. They were a good studio but hasn’t produced a hit after hyper light drifter which was 10 years ago now.
Thoughts on the pen’s quality? It looks a bit thick and flimsy from the pictures but I’m interested in hearing from someone who tried it. Also, is the thick tip accurate enough for DS games?
They’re great, and there are so many retro handhelds out there - all sorts of shapes and sizes and price ranges. You need to do some research to see what you’re interested in, but I’d recommend a cheap one to start (60-100 dollars). I’m using the Anbernic RG34XXSP and am very happy with it.
As for the ROM collections, it really depends on the manufacturer. Some are really good collections, and some are just trash with tons of duplicates or games in many different languages. One thing for sure is that there will be missing ROMs because they don’t want lawsuits. I’ve heard most of them don’t come with popular Nintendo or Pokemon titles, so you’ll need to get them yourself.
Worst case scenario though is that you can just curate your own collection, or download a ready-made collection online and copy it over.
It’s not that weird of a concept I think, RuneScape has been doing it for ages. There’s Runescape 3, and Old School Runescape which is getting new updates and content to match the old style. I’m not surprised WoW is going for that considering how much nostalgia people have for the old game.
They did a big 2.0 update that fixed most of the issues, including letting you play with proper classic graphics. There might still be some changes WC3 fans don’t like but I think it’s a solid remake now.
New Warcraft 3 expansion with a big new update was so unexpected, but has me very excited to redownload it.
I understood that people replace the Switch 1 joycons because they drift a lot and were kind of toy-like, but I don’t see the value in Switch 2 replacements. I tried the Switch 2 joycons and they’re pretty solid and comfortable.
Whenever someone tries to remake a Nintendo game in a realistic art style people would sarcastically say “Nintendo, hire this man!!!”
Looking closer I think all the child characters look really uncanny. They’re all so stubby with huge eyes and it’s just weird. Adult link and Ganon look great though.
It’s confirmed to be $60.
Nintendo finally hired that guy!
Jokes aside, looks pretty good. The faces are throwing me off a lot though. They’re so… weird. I was expecting something closer to breath of the wild than the semi-realistic style. I hope they adjust kid link, at least.
Seriously there has been maybe 3-4 posts about GTA 6 on this community in the last 2 months and every single one of them is full of people whining that they don’t want to hear about it. It’s so overblown.
GTA 6 is one of - if not the - highest budget games ever made. In one of the most popular and successful franchises of all time. It’s the biggest release of the last few years whether they like it or not. Now… You’re telling me we should stop talking about it in gaming communities because Lemmy users want to get back to talking about Linux and whatever 6/10 open source game is doing the rounds?
Sorry for the harshness but these posts and comments are so annoying. If you don’t want to talk about AAA games then why are you in the gaming community?
P.S. I’ve seen posts talking about GTA or any major company (PlayStation, Nintendo, Bethesda, etc) just get huge amounts of downvotes on this platform because “we’re tired of hearing about it”. Why do people do this??? Just move on to the next post.
It’s finally happening. Brings a tear to my eye.
I’ve been following the drama for years. This should’ve happened many years ago but for some reason Google was blocking it in favor of AVIF, which is worse in a number of ways.
The Flatpak version is still stuck on Audacity 3, it hasn’t been updated in months.
Nah. Even someone who has never used another editing app would realize the UX is terrible, and it’s harder to do basic things than it should be. There’s too much stuff on screen and the UI looks terrible.
Audacity isn’t a DAW, it’s an audio editor which makes it very different from Reaper.
Audacity isn’t a fully fledged DAW, it’s an audio editor that’s mostly for recording, making quick edits, or fixing up audio. I don’t think it’s really possible to use it in music production yet.
There were UI improvements
Barely. It’s the same old terrible UI and needs a complete overhaul.
When you start the app for the first time it asks if you want to enable anonymous telemetry, but otherwise I don’t think it sends anything.
Every now and then Anbernic just throws a curveball and makes a weird device nobody really wants, this being one of them. I don’t really understand the choice to make it 16:9 considering the only 16:9 system it can run is the PSP, and it’s not strong enough for anything even resembling PS2 with widescreen hacks.
It’ll probably go on big sales like other Anbernic stuff soon enough, might find it even going down to $100 on AliExpress or something by the end of the year. But still, it’s just an awkward little device.
Also, it’s 100% free to play - you don’t even need to own Quake. I totally recommend trying it out, just download the standalone version here.
The link still asks for a login to redeem the gift article, but I’m reading the text you posted now. Thanks :)
It only shows the first 3 paragraphs or so before asking me to subscribe. Ah well, the gameplay drops on youtube a few hours from now anyway.
Anybody have a version of the article that doesn’t need signing in?
It got a visual refresh not too long ago, but this seems to be a lot bigger with some actual gameplay changes like a reworked skill tree and updated combat.
Very nice that this game is coming back in some capacity but I was really hoping for some kind of remake or real remaster. From what I can tell this is the same game packaged and running on an emulator.
I’m surprised it didn’t happen earlier. Fighting games are such a crowded market these days. Just these last few months you have 2XKO, Invincible VS, Avatar Legends all flopping hard.
The problem isn’t really with the quality of the games, they’re decent additions to Xbox’s offerings.
The problem is the rate at which they make new games, which is a bit of a disaster. They released THREE GAMES since the studio was founded in 2009 (17 years!!!)
I wish them the best of luck but out of all the studios Xbox threw away/wanted to shut down, this one was the least surprising, and I said the same thing when they announced the studios they were getting rid of.
Works just fine according to protondb
We’re unlocking all champs. We’re also bundling most cosmetic items, and refunding all money spent in 2XKO on or before August 20.
All things considered, that’s a nice gesture. As unlikely as it is I hope they also add offline & LAN play for when the servers inevitably shut down.
But man, it’s VERY hard to care about anything Riot makes at this point when they make it clear they’ll pull funding and kill a game if it doesn’t meet LoL or Valorant expectations. I was a big fan of their card game but they also stopped development on it which is very disappointing.
Release must me imminent if the page is being set up. Now, the price…
Doesn’t it work flawlessly via proton?
And you’re being pedantic. Any computer made in the last 15 years can run a browser. If your laptop can’t run a browser, you probably can’t even run Steam. Why are we even talking about this?
I’m a Godot developer and this is wrong.
