Stumbled upon this while looking at HELLDIVERS 2 mods.
To provide more context, HELLDIVERS 2 coop multiplayer 3rd person shooter game. It has been plagued by longstanding bugs or questionable game design choices. At some point, mods that fixes those bugs and provides other QoL starts to appear. Unfortunately, that also includes cheats and people running mods in public lobby.
~2 weeks ago the developer swapped the anti-cheat to EAC (which is infamous for being easy to bypass and more often than not causes issues instead). That update breaks existing mods. Also in that update, many players are seeing various crash and graphics glitch, regardless of using mods or not.
That leads to today, the umpteen times of review bombing in Steam, making HELLDIVERS 2 having mostly negative reviews.
In light of all that, I find it interesting that HellForge is a thing. Like, someone actually made it possible to have an alternative backend service, just enough to allow coop with friends. And you can mod it however you want since it's practically an offline copy.
I thought you would need a defunct online game to drive the reverse engineering or a source code leak for this to happen.

I'm pretty sure that .app is the url that I put in, no idea how it changed to the studio one.

Anyone have context on why this announcement from 2025 is shared? Seems like it's delayed and have not been released yet?

I also can recommend fooyin[0]. I really miss foobar2000 after switching away from Windows, and fooyin fills that hole in my heart.
Technically fooyin also builds on macOS, but it's not officially supported yet, there's some works here[1] and there[2].

Nice, I wonder how the banner would work for menu or any complex screen that's not a single sentence.
In the past, I've used MORT to play some Japanese MMO game. In-place overlay makes it easier to actually play the game instead of doing dictionary lookup on the side.
These days I stopped using realtime translator and just embrace the slow pace of learning these languages while enjoying the game story.

Oops you're right, I was searching the docs and couldn't find it, maybe it's time to snoop around in their repo...

Recently I learned about CachyOS, it has custom scheduler to run things smoothly, including games. And SteamOS is also doing the custom scheduler for games. From what I can find, Bazzite doesn't seem to use custom scheduler.
Does these custom scheduler bring noticeable gains during usage? My previous linux desktop was a non-gaming distro, so I'm a bit curious on these fancy stuffs.

I get where you're coming from but React Native(RN) is a bad example. RN is actually native and uses native components. So any native view will be supported, including Liquid Glass. e.g. https://expo.dev/changelog/sdk-54-beta#ios-26-and-liquid-gla... or https://github.com/callstack/liquid-glass

There's a gear icon in the top right corner to change the settings.

I haven't checked the DOOM one, but for the Pong example, the keyboard input is prerecorded. As in the sequence of the keyboard key press are sequenced in a TS array[0].
