Selaco is easily one of the biggest highlights of the year, with its mixture of over-the-top action and chunky retro visuals.

Added "Resume Game" button in the main menu.

They also mentioned a save issue between Steam Deck / Linux and Windows that should be solved now too.

So if you've swapped between Proton and the Native Build (Or a Windows PC and a Steam Deck), it shouldn't lose any saves.

Improvements to the save system are welcome, especially with it being in Early Access and many updates are expected, it's nice to see they're working to ensure progress isn't lost.

Altered Orbit Studios mentioned they're taking a short vacation now but after that expect work on the Randomizer Mode, more story elements and production for Chapter 2 to continue.

Consumers can expect to pay more for eggs at the check-out in coming weeks as one of Australia's biggest fast-food chains limits its breakfast times due to supply concerns.

It came as supermarkets imposed restrictions on how many cartons of eggs could be purchased in one transaction while Victoria, NSW and the ACT battled outbreaks of avian influenza.

"Like many retailers, we are carefully managing supply of eggs due to the current industry challenges," a McDonald's spokesperson said in a statement.

"We're continuing to work closely with our network of Aussie farmers, producers, and suppliers, as the industry comes together to manage this challenge."

"We're expecting a short-term delay in stock from one of our egg suppliers in NSW, ACT and Victoria due to the temporary closure of one of their packing sheds," a Woolworths spokesperson said.

"We've said to our store managers that if they feel like there will be stocking issues with eggs then they have the authority to make the decision and limit purchases to two [cartons]," he said.

Click here to see the summarySpeaking to CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Monday night, Will Scharf, an attorney for the former president, laid out the next steps for special counsel Jack Smith's case following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that former presidents have absolute immunity for their official acts but no immunity for private acts.

In a federal indictment filed in August, Trump is facing four charges pertaining to his alleged attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Speaking to Collins, Scharf said that Smith's "case should be dismissed" because it concerns official acts not private ones.

Meanwhile Trump celebrated the ruling in a post to Truth Social, writing: "BIG WIN FOR OUR CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY.

The Biden campaign, on the other hand, said the ruling would not "change the facts" that Trump tried to "overthrow the results of a free and fair election."

"Trump is already running for president as a convicted felon for the very same reason he sat idly by while the mob violently attacked the Capitol: he thinks he's above the law and is willing to do anything to gain and hold onto power for himself."

While other vendors continually push out new handheld pc models, sticking similar internals into different shell designs and gradually bumping up RAM or the Processor, the Steam Deck just keeps selling like hot tasty cakes.

There's multiple other devices out there now that are in a few ways more powerful than the Steam Deck, but that hasn't seemed to matter a whole lot to Valve.

Especially since the release of the Steam Deck OLED, which was a pretty huge upgrade, it's constantly a global top seller for Valve.

When compared with other vendors like GPD, AYANEO, ASUS and all the others, Valve of course have the Steam store to back it up.

Other vendors don't really have anything like that, so Valve are in a more unique position to stick to one main model.

You only have to look at the new built-in Game Recording feature to see, and the upcoming SteamOS 3.6 that recently moved from Preview to Beta that again brings in some big additions.

Companies in countries worldwide may be toying with the idea of implementing shorter working weeks, but in Greece employees have been told that, henceforth, they can put in a sixth day of labour in an unorthodox step aimed at turbocharging productivity.

After outpacing other Europeans in terms of economic growth, the nation once at the heart of the continent’s worst financial crisis has bucked the trend again, introducing a 48-hour working week.

Prior to announcing the legislation – part of a broader set of labour laws passed last year – Mitsotakis described the projected demographic shift as a “ticking timebomb”.

In a country with almost no tradition of inspections in the workplace, critics contend the reform ultimately sounds the death knell of the five-day working week, not least because it enables employers to dictate whether a sixth day of labour is required.

Belgium in 2022 legislated to give employees the legal right to spread their working week over four days instead of five, and pilot schemes have been carried out in countries including the UK, Germany, Japan, South Africa and Canada.

“What the government is essentially saying is ‘go and work longer, we’ll turn a blind eye even if you’re a pensioner,’” said Grigoris Kalomoiris who heads the union of retired teachers (Pesek).

Uncertainty over China's economic trajectory and geopolitical tensions are top of mind for many Chinese millionaires, in dollar terms, who choose to leave their country, according to the report by investment migration firm Henley & Partners.

"The lifestyle in Japan is very appealing with beautiful public gardens and golf courses, plus it's ranked among the safest countries on earth according to the Global Peace Index," Amoils said.

The United Arab Emirates remains the most attractive destination for the world's rich with its zero income tax, luxury lifestyle and "golden visas" for investors, the investment migration firm said.

Hannah White, CEO of think tank Institute for Government in London and who provided analysis for the report, partly attributes these flows to uncertainty over the U.S. election in November and the potential for a second Donald Trump presidency.

"As the world grapples with a perfect storm of geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty and social upheaval, millionaires are voting with their feet in record numbers," Volek said.

"In many respects, this great millionaire migration is a leading indicator, signaling a profound shift in the global landscape and the tectonic plates of wealth and power, with far-reaching implications for the future trajectory of the nations they leave behind or those which they make their new home."

While there's been a clear drop, the Linux user share on Steam for June 2024 still remains about 2% showing the clear upwards trend overall.

Interestingly, this is another month where Simplified Chinese as a language on Steam saw a jump, and quite often we see Linux drop when this happens.

According to Valve the latest operating system details are:

For Linux, the Steam Deck with SteamOS continues propping up the numbers with it being the most popular by far.

Freedesktop SDK 23.08 (Flatpak runtime) 64 bit 6.71% +0.66%

Ubuntu Core 22 64 bit (Steam Snap) 2.97% +0.35%

The billionaire Barry Diller is exploring a bid to take control of Paramount, the parent company of CBS, MTV and Nickelodeon, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.

Mr. Diller’s digital-media conglomerate, IAC, has signed nondisclosure agreements with National Amusements, Paramount’s controlling shareholder, the people said.

Nondisclosure agreements are a key step in deal making, allowing both sides to exchange confidential information.

Mr. Diller’s interest in Paramount is the latest twist in one of the most complex — and dramatic — efforts to sell a media company in several years.

Paramount reached the brink of a deal in recent months with Skydance, a Hollywood studio, before talks abruptly fell apart.

After Mr. Redstone outbid him for the company, Mr. Diller set his sights on continuing to build his new media empire, striking a series of audacious deals to expand IAC.

Elites with a “sense of superiority” are ruining Washington, despite being “mere equals of the workers who shower after work instead of before”, writes Kevin Roberts in the introduction to Project 2025, the conservative manifesto for a second Trump administration.

He snagged a New York Times headline in 2015 after rejecting any federal student aid funding because it would compromise the college’s stances against LGBTQ+ people and covering birth control with health insurance.

“I expected him to be the next senator from Texas or governor or something like that,” Arbery said, “because his capacities were large, and his whole genius was political in the sense that he was always thinking of ways to bring about the ends that he was after, which were conservative.”

WyoFile notes that he drives a diesel Ford F-150 complete with the yellow-snaked “Don’t Tread on Me” license plate and a “Come and Take It” bumper sticker, both nods to a defiant view of government.

In the process of moving the foundation to be more aligned with Trump, it has lost employees who “worry that the institution is attaching itself to a faction of the conservative movement that prioritizes partisanship over policy”, the Dispatch reported in 2022.

While the foundation is trying to amplify its already-large influence on conservative politics, the outstanding question - which will likely decide the fates of both Roberts and Heritage in the Trump era - is whether the big swing will work.

According to a statement from the company, the rocket was not sufficiently clamped down and blasted off from the test stand "due to a structural failure."

Video of the accidental ascent showed the rocket rising several hundred meters into the sky before it crashed explosively into a mountain 1.5 km away from the test site.

The statement from Space Pioneer sought to downplay the incident, saying it had implemented safety measures before the test, and there were no casualties as a result of the accident.

Located in the Henan province in eastern China, alongside the Yellow River, Gongyi has a population of about 800,000 people.

Typically, during a static fire test, the mass of propellant on board a vehicle combined with strong clamps hold a rocket down.

This was a notable achievement, but the rocket's engines were provided by a Chinese state-operated firm, the Academy of Aerospace Liquid Propulsion Technology, rather than the private company.

Hackers could have added malicious code compromising the security of millions or billions of people who installed them, researchers said Monday.

The vulnerabilities, which were fixed last October, resided in a “trunk” server used to manage CocoaPods, a repository for open source Swift and Objective-C projects that roughly 3 million macOS and iOS apps depend on.

“Injecting code into these applications could enable attackers to access this information for almost any malicious purpose imaginable—ransomware, fraud, blackmail, corporate espionage… In the process, it could expose companies to major legal liabilities and reputational risk.”

The three vulnerabilities EVA discovered stem from an insecure verification email mechanism used to authenticate developers of individual pods.

This vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-38367, resided in the session_controller class of the trunk server source code, which handles the session validation URL.

The trunk server relies on RFC822 formalized in 1982 to verify the uniqueness of registered developer email addresses and check if they follow the correct format.
