    Developed by Outerminds, this indie action platformer delivers pixel art visuals and fast paced gameplay that fans of classic side scrollers will have fun with. One of the game’s greatest strengths is its humor and attention to detail.

    I don't know/care about PewDiePie but this was cheap so I figured I'd see how much merit it has as a 2D platformer. The game was longer than I thought it would be and far exceeded my expectations. You could get more time out of the game if you work your way up the difficulties and seek out all of the collectables. It's a fun, zany little ride and particularly challenging if you play on the "Bro" difficulty setting. …

    Steam Survey for July 2025 shows Linux approaching 3%. This is interesting for a couple of reasons. One is that this is about as much market share as Mac ever had at its peak, and almost twice as much as it has currently. Another is that, if you click the link for the site's Steam Linux Data Tracker, you can see that English-only Linux market share (a crude way of filtering out the ebbs and flows of Chinese players on largely-identical hardware and operating systems) is more than 6%, up from…

    I would love to see more Linux desktop users, but people (mostly kids or gamers) who watch PewDiePie will not dump Windows because they want those AAA game titles and apps from Adobe and others unavailable on #Linux. Apps are the problem.

    Just a reminder even PewDiePie stopped using Adobe products after 15 years of daily usage. He switched to GIMP, but that is not my main point. I found it interesting how he gets even charged for cancelling the service! Look, I'm not a PewDiePie fan and usually don't watch his videos. But this one was pretty fun.

    [Discussion] What's your Soulslike origin story?. One way or another, we've all found our way to this truly magnificent genre of video games. We've all had our humble beginnings and first trial runs of games the genre has to offer. But how did we get here? Who introduced us to the genre? That's what I want to know from you! My _very_ first introduction to the genre was via PewDiePie (yuck) from like 2013 or so when he first played it on his channel. Didn't know the next thing about the genre…

    This is a game that got made because a bunch of 14 year olds hashtagged EA to death so much on Instagram after watching Pewdiepie play it or whatever that they relented just to stop the noise, yet every line sounds as youthful as an office drone googling what "lit" means after hearing Snoop on NBC.

    For someone who were like 8-13 years old in 2015, was a PewDiePie fan and liked platformers this might be a great deal! However I am way over the age and out of PewDiePie community circle so it leaves me just a platformer, which aint an absolute disaster for gameplay works and you can even buy some power-ups to enhance your characters which may grab you interest for 2 hours in most so it might be worthy to pick this in sale and only in sale. Stay awesome.

    Yeah, the People Vs Pewdiepie established precedent that, in case of "heated gamer moments" use of racial slurs, and in that case, specifically the N word, is perfectly acceptable. You are just required to take a brief leave of absence, and do some light community service promoting linux. I'm sure some of the Grok servers run linux, he just has to make a good statement about Ubuntu Pro or RHEL and it'll just come out in the wash.

    I finished the game in about a day. Overall, I can’t say it’s really my thing. It felt like a mix of being both hard and easy at the same time some parts are challenging, while others go by quickly. I’m not a PewDiePie fan and I don’t really follow him, but I still wanted to give his game a chance. Honestly, in my opinion, it’s not worth the 7,99€ price. It feels a bit too much for what it offers a lower price would have made more sense. In conclusion, Legend of the Brofist is an okay little…
