Quoting: Luke_NukemHow many downvotes would be possible and how would that affect the rating on Steam? Something I'm super curious about now.

It doesn't matter, how mayn downvotes they receive through this, Steam implemented some kind of Ranking Protection in case of some "incidents" where due to a specific topic a game gets downvotes.
You can see this here:

This is true, however Steam is currently reporting the game as having "mostly negative" recent reviews [External Link] (oddly, since there seems to be a lot more "positive" reviews from what I suspect are bot accounts).

Quoting: GoboI despise anyone who votes for Rocket League in the Linux Game of the Year Award, especially in the category "Favourite long-term supported game". Not only because of the ended support, but considering it took them years to release a Linux version. They kept teasing, promising and delaying for a long time.

It's also nominated in "Best update received in 2019".

I've removed it, it's no longer eligible to be in our awards.

I don't care either way (I last played in 2017), but the awards are for 2019, when it did support Linux. Removing their eligibility for 2019 awards due to decision announced in 2020 seems wrong?

The only two categories they were in were specifically targeting at supported games, they're removing said support. Absolutely no way they're staying in an award. It's not that difficult to understand.

Fair enough, at the end of the day it's your decision.

Due to the timing of this announcement I doubt they'd have gotten many votes anyway.

Just finished Black Mesa yesterday, and I love what they did with Xen. Especially regarding the Vorts.

The final fight with Gonarch was a pain in the arse though, I found the Nihilanth fight far easier (although it did get very overwhelming at times).

Much better awards than Steam's. Steam's are all Windows exclusives, bar one which has OSX support. :/

As far as projects go, this one was really easy to build. It's not really designed to be installed system-wide though (at least, not if you want to be able to save your games without messing around with the ownership/permissions of directories under /usr/share...)

I've made an AUR package here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/openfodder-git/ [External Link]

I was excited for Alyx, until it was confirmed that it is a VR exclusive. Hopefully poor sales will prompt them to revise that decision and release a more accessible version of the game.

Quoting: ageresDoes anyone complete holiday quests? I cannot do today's one (to watch a friend's broadcast). I get this: "Your web browser does not support the minimum set of features required to watch this broadcast." Is this a Steam for Linux problem?

Not sure. I watched my girlfriend streaming, but she couldn't watch me as Steam doesn't support broadcasting from a Linux PC. :/

We then switched places, so she signed into steam on my PC, and me on hers, and she got the web browser error you got.

I started the exact same game I watched her streaming, tried lowering my broadcasting resolution, etc. and we couldn't figure it out.

Could just be Steam being Steam, but I wish they wouldn't push people to use such half-baked features (especially when they're not even cross-platform compatible).

Quoting: jarhead_hIs there something that you have to do special to get the Linux performance boost? Because I just fired it up and it's choking just as badly as the last time I ran it last year. At 1080p. With some settings turned down to medium.

No idea what your hardware is, but it works fine at 2560x1440 with all the settings turned up as high as they go on my nvidia 970.
