VoxeLibre (formerly MineClone2) v0.87 released moving away from Minecraft
29 May 2024 at 8:52 am UTC Likes: 2

Quoting: hardpenguinI have mixed feelings about "moving away from Minecraft". Sure, I can just play Minecraft if I want Minecraft.

Then again, Minetest + VoxeLibre/MineClone so far has provided an alternative that was

a) free (as in beer)
b) performing better on low end hardware
c) staying close to Minecraft content

And this was definitely of value to the existing players. So for now, I am mildly anxious what happens next.

i loved it as mineclone, despite i missed better shader-options.

d) runs on android alongside pc

SteamVR 2.5 released with multiple Linux fixes
8 May 2024 at 11:30 am UTC

Quoting: ghiumaI use Quest 2 with ALVR and Steamvr on Manjaro and it's crazy how well it works, Moss, Half Life Alyx, Fallout 4 vr etc etc, but this updated version no longer works. It no longer connects to ALVR, I went back to the old version and it works... I hope for a solution...

just out of curiosity , does this work wireless?

I know i have a special usecase but as a host for a youthcenter and a big gamer i installed 6pcs to play games together. But living in germany i need age ratings for all games and if some dont have any i have to compare them with other games. Official ratings would help me a lot!

Quoting: ArdjeDominatrix is also an awesome and free game on steam, and it has been deck verified.
Try it out!

It would have been so much fun if it was just Dominatrix ;-).

I don't get the joke.
Neither dominatrix nor dominatrix simulator are free

I want the wake by bluetooth so badly! Mine stays docked most of the time. To wake it up by controllers like the playstations would be so convinient!

Quoting: LoftyIs it me, or are Valve secretly reading my thoughts


Now all i need is a desktop version of this, although perhaps with a future more powerful steam deck with the newly announced Thunderbolt 5 with 120Gbps boost mode + external GPU i might not need a desktop computer ever again

Maybe it gets released with the upcoming new steam-console? *hope*
