Watching how they did this. One of the reasons they picked @bazzite.gg is with an image you can pick an image to test with and know it won't change throughout testing.
And we can keep an archive of all the images, making historical benchmarking much easier.

This was one hell of an undertaking. We still have a lot to learn with Linux benchmarking, but we finally have a foundation for it. This is our first-ever round of desktop Linux GPU gaming benchmarks -- we've previously only done this on handhelds: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovOx...

Worth a look if you like RPGs and aren't a graphics snob.
Kingdoms of the Dump is one of the year's most charming RPGs, an Earthbound-inspired game set in a world made of trash, where you fight in landfills and heal with moldy sandwiches. Which is fitting — it was made by two janitors.

I'm making a 2d wrestling game.
It's been a year since I did this, and while a lot hasn't changed on the surface, so much has changed behind the scenes and I'm very excited to keep working on it. 😁

The new game Dispatch, from former Telltale directors, is yet another 2025 indie banger. It's funny as heck, with top-notch writing and gorgeous art. I'm two episodes in and they're on par with Telltale's best work (aka: Tales from the Borderlands). And the cast, good lord!
