Linux on the desktop marches on as GOG announces a client revamp headed to a distro of your choice pcgamer.com/software/linux/l…
John Knight retweeted
GOG GALAXY is officially heading to Linux. At the same time, we’ve reworked the client on Windows and Mac to be simpler, run faster, and give you cleaner ways to view your library. Most importantly, our core promise stays untouched: GOG GALAXY is entirely optional. Your games are yours to download and keep through offline installers, exactly as they’ve always been.

Update on the #c64 Ultimate raycast game. Aspect ratio changed and canvas size increased to be more "gamey". Optimized the crap out of the raycaster and renderer, with a fixed 25Hz schedule now. Runs nice and smooth over 2 frames. Lots of other systemy stuff too.
Darn straight. Not sure I would've used SuperTux to demonstrate its abilities though... could probably go with something a *bit* more ambitious. ;-)
When Gabe Newell called Linux "the future of gaming" in 2013, many in the industry were skeptical. Valve launched Steam for Linux anyway.
Fast-forward a decade: the Linux-powered Steam Deck launched, leveraging Proton to run thousands of PC titles seamlessly on SteamOS, an operating system rebuilt on an Arch Linux base.
What began as a bold bet on open source transformed handheld PC gaming forever.

Wolfenstein 3d for the stock Commodore 64 released! Full shareware episode included. Armed with only a combat knife, a stolen pistol, and raw grit, you must fight through 8 levels of hell and defeat Hans Grosse to escape. kweepa.itch.io/wolf64

Back when we released Wolf3D I begged Id to make a C-64 version and they said it wasn't possible.
Now I'm crying.
Crikey, wasn't expecting this! Today's LTT video:

🎉 BREAKING: The Commodore 64C Ultimate is coming!
Following the runaway success of the breadbin C64 Ultimate, Commodore has just announced a slimline C64C Ultimate edition — and they've gone the extra mile for authenticity. Commodore has reacquired the ORIGINAL 1986 injection molding tooling (rediscovered at auction in 2014, survived a factory fire, and most recently housed at Individual Computers) to manufacture the new cases.
That means even the famous 2-point flow pattern marks from the original production run are back — Peri Fractic calls them "the unmistakable signature of genuine Commodore parts born from original molds."
Three editions available for pre-order now at commodore.net:
🟤 BASIC Beige — $299.99
✨ Starlight Edition — $349.99 (translucent case, game-reactive LED lighting)
🏆 Founder's Edition — $499.99 (24k gold-plated badges, PVD gold keycaps, translucent white case)
Identical FPGA-powered performance to the original C64 Ultimate, just in that sleek 1986-1994 form factor so many of us grew up with. Shipping late 2026.
Which one are you eyeing? Drop a comment below! 👇
