Quoting: wojtek88Oh sweet. Liam please do not write about it too often, as Sony will kill the project (I hope they won't)!

I don't see why they would. You still need a PS4 for this to work, and it just hooks into the streaming service that they provide. Sony don't make any money through their own streaming apps (AFAIK), so there's no lost revenue to recover.

The only possibly grey area to my mind, is how this was developed. If it was ground-up trial and error, then I'm pretty sure it's untouchable from a legal perspective (though Sony could be arseholes and change the protocol involved), but if the dev somehow got ahold of an existing client and reverse-engineered it to create their own client, then it could be open to legal attacks (depending on local laws and license agreements).

Nice! Took a little bit of effort to get my Steam controller to work how I wanted it to, but besides that, I got Fallout 4 streaming from my PS4 to my PC with minimal effort. \o/

The video quality is a lot lower than playing on the PS4, but I can put up with that if it means being able to remote play from my bed without needing to use my tiny Vita screen. :P

I don't understand why a sale event has any bearing on the beta? The store is the same in any client.

That's the beauty of open source though -- you may want to prioritise features/bug fixes/etc for one platform, but that doesn't stop other people in the community picking up the slack and working on the other platforms in your stead. :D

Thanks for the sum up, I'd missed a couple of these.

As for what I'm doing -- I have fallen into the same trap as Sin and fired up Minecraft again. Goodbye non-working life, I will remember getting shit done with fond memories.

Yeah, I just finished fighting the game to get it to launch on my system too.

The ancient sndio library dependency comes from the libSDL2-2.0.so.0 the game ships with. I avoided that by preloading /usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0. Even when preloading /usr/lib/libc.so.6 I can't get the launcher to show up, so I ended up just forcing steam to launch the game binary directly. So, TLDR, I set my launch command in steam to:
LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0" ./PrisonArchitect.x86_64 %command%
(That %command% still seems to be needed, despite the "command" being explicitly set...)

I've never had this problem with Prison Architect in the past. It's quite.. disappointing.

I had to stop playing a few months ago because the game causes burn-in on my monitor. No idea why, it just leaves a ghost image of the menus, etc. even if I switch to my PS4. It eventually fades away, but it's very distracting when it's present. Might give it another go, just in case it was a driver bug or something.

Quoting: GuestThat being said, there is an alternative client to Discord that I use that piggybacks off of Discord's protocols:

Ripcord [External Link]. It's an Alpha, but it's something.

It's also Qt-based, which is a win in my book. If my girlfriend keeps pestering me to jump back into Discord (which I abandoned after they moved to a GTK3 build of chromium/electron), it's nice to have an option.
