Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters, let's gooo! 👍😎 Hopefully they won't be abandoned soon after launch like the Oblivion remaster...
Digital Foundry@digitalfoundry.bsky.social · 4w agoOn a random Friday, Bethesda announce Fallout 5, built on new Creation Engine 3, plus Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters, new Fallout title from Obsidian Entertainment.
I've been happy with my #LinuxMint install, and thought my distrohopping days were long gone, but lately I've been eyeing #Fedora with KDE.. 👀 Might actually switch! Luckily I have my /home on separate partition, makes switching easier. #Linux

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/0...

And here it is! Just like Oddhop, got the old Jewels 2 up and running on PCs, works in Linux too! This one took a bit more effort, do read the post if interested. Happy to have these two games now playable once again. 😀 #gamedev mhgames.org/2026/06/jewe...
Mika / MHGames@mhgames.org · 2mo agoOld game resurrection, part 2: Got my old mobile game Jewels 2 (uses custom C++ engine) compiling and seemingly running fine! 👀 Haven't touched this since 2012 or something. 😂 Quite nostalgic feeling hearing the music again. Need to clean up and release for PC, for archival purposes. 💪 #gamedev
Ten years later, one last hurrah for our forgotten puzzler Oddhop! It's now available for PCs as freeware! Works in Linux with wine, too. #gamedev mhgames.org/2026/06/oddh...

Mika / MHGames@mhgames.org · 2mo agoResurrected my 10yr old game Oddhop. It was a mobile game that has been long gone from app stores. Wanted to preserve it for archival purposes, so I'll be releasing it as freeware Windows-build. Seems to work fine in Linux w/ wine, too. Guess I'll play the puzzles through, it's been years!🥲 #gamedev

#SteamMachine is out! Shame about the pricing, thanks to AI bros... 🙄 I was mildly curious about getting one, but with the unfortunate pricing, gonna have to pass. I do most of my gaming on Linux PC anyways, but for living room this would've been nice next to PS5. Can't beat the form factor!
#GodotEngine 4.7 is here! 🎉 Like a cult classic movie, Godot 4 has only gotten better with age; the 4.7 Director's Cut offers colors of never-before-reached intensity, helming a bevy of new features to eliminate any remaining friction between you and your vision! godotengine.org/releases/4.7/

Good to hear that RDNA3/2 won't be left without #FSR4 support. Great news for the #SteamMachine as well! Probably the leaked int8-version of FSR was a good incentive to broaden the official support.. Would've been kinda embarrassing otherwise! 😅 #AMD www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN8b...

#Godot 4.7 is shaping up nicely! Best features for me: Control transform offsets (finally!), vertex snapping & remote scene tree improvements! 👍

Exactly a year ago I installed #Linux on my main PC and switched. Having now spent ~98% of that time in Linux it comes as no surprise that I've been really happy with the switch! Some issues here and there, but overall very nice. I'll try to write a blog-post about this. 5/5, would switch again! 👍
Mika / MHGames@mhgames.org · last yr.The gears have been set in motion: ordered a new NVMe SSD for a #Linux install on my main PC (desktop). Going with a dual boot (for now). Seems that most, if not all things I require for work can be done in Linux. Will be interesting to see how it goes! 👀
Damn, misread $1B as $18. For a second there I thought I'd *almost* qualify!

Success! Rolled a new druid and made better build: beat Geonor on the 1st try! 😬💪 #PathOfExile2
Mika / MHGames@mhgames.org · 7mo ago"Aw shit, here we go again..." My failure during #PathOfExile2 free weekend started bugging me, so went and purchased the early access key. 😬 Maybe I can fix the druid build or just roll a new character, still in Act 1 after all.. 😅 (But I'll go and finish CP: Phantom Libery first!)

Mika / MHGames@mhgames.org · 8mo agoTime to call it quits, I think. Can't seem to beat the Act I boss! 😅 My build is likely utter shit, just realized I don't even have any cold resitance... Oh well. Started dying a lot in these last few areas, so no wonder the boss isn't that easy either. #PathOfExile2
Finished #Cyberpunk, started Phantom Liberty yesterday. Really good game IMO; perhaps not entirely what it was hyped to be, but solid stuff. The highlight for me is the superb aesthetic that nicely captures the Blade Runner vibe! 👌 As a life-long BR fan that's a huge bonus. GG, will play again!
Mika / MHGames@mhgames.org · 8mo agoRelated to the GPU change, finally started playing #Cyberpunk2077! Bought it on release day for PS4, never played as it was half-baked. Waited for PS5 version but somehow never got around to it. Now playing on #Linux PC! 👌🤘

Mika / MHGames@mhgames.org · 8mo agoA short break from #Cyberpunk2077, as #PathOfExile2 has a free weekend! Druid seems fun, and the passive skill tree is as massive as ever. 😀

As GPU prices may go up soon (hopefully not as much as RAM, ouch! 💸), I bought a RX 9070 XT from Black week sales. #Linux driver support is better on AMD, although TBH it wasn't too bad with my old 4060 Ti. Nice speed boost in games, even if RT stuff is slower than Nvidia. Uses way more power tho..
