Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core is a good roguelite shooter, but a little less special than the game that spawned it

The Reclaimers in Deep Rock Galactic represent the highest level of expertise, focusing on skills beyond basic mining tasks. Despite their elite status, they engage in mining activities while battling monsters in the spin-off Rogue Core. The game emphasizes exploration and teamwork over simple enemy elimination, with each dwarf class offering unique utilities. Deep Rock Galactic has established itself as a co-op FPS that prioritizes strategic gameplay, contrasting with Rogue Core, which is seen as repetitive and lacking the dynamic excitement of other roguelikes. The gameplay in Deep Rock Galactic centers on succinct missions and defined roles, with survival being more important than destruction. Rogue Core, in its early access, does not match the clarity and purpose of its predecessor.

Project Zomboid identifies and bans over a dozen Steam Workshop mods containing ‘heavily obfuscated code’ that was ‘creating malicious files’

The Indie Stone has identified a security issue involving 14 mods on the Steam Workshop for Project Zomboid, which contain heavily obfuscated code linked to the creation of malicious files outside the game's directory. Reports from players indicated that one mod was generating harmful code, prompting an investigation that confirmed the presence of the exploit across multiple mods uploaded by the same user. The affected mods had between 500 and 2,200 installations, and the user has been banned while the mods have been removed from the Steam Workshop. The exploit specifically affects Build 42 branches of Project Zomboid, with players using Build 41 being unaffected. The Indie Stone advises players who downloaded these mods to take security precautions beyond simply uninstalling them. The affected mods include various soundtracks, such as Risk of Rain 2 OST, NieR: Automata OST, and others, each with specific Workshop and Mod IDs.

Pterodactyl is my favorite way to manage self-hosted game servers, and no other tool comes close

Self-hosting game servers is more performance-efficient and cost-effective compared to commercial providers. Pterodactyl is a game-server management tool that supports various core games like Minecraft, Counter-Strike, and Garry's Mod, and allows for easy deployment through its two components: the panel and "Wings." Community-created "Eggs" enable users to host servers for specific games quickly. The setup process can be intricate, but tools like Proxmox helper scripts can assist. Deploying a server involves allocating necessary ports, and Pterodactyl simplifies configuration for various games.
