Quoting: WorMzyWould be better if it was GTK2, but oh well, maybe somebody will port it.
Yeah nothing like staying in the past :P

Out of interest, why?
Because gtk3 is a broken pile of crap, and I refuse to have it on my system. ;)

Quoting: Mountain ManI'm still of the opinion that this whole VR craze is going to be another short-lived novelty like 3D televisions and motion controls (other than the Nintendo Wii) once people realize that it doesn't meaningfully enhance their gaming experience. Professional applications, yes, but entertainment? I don't see it.
I'm still to hear this opinion by someone who tried a real VR device. Did you?
For the record, I have tried a couple of VR demos (not including "cardboard" ), and I share the same opinion as Mountain Man. It's an interesting experience, and very immersive, but it isn't something I would pay X hundred pounds for, and I can't see that many games a) supporting it, or b) being particularly enjoyable while using it for more than say 20 minutes.

Sunday chat: what games have kept you busy with week?

I don't have much time to play at the moment, but I've been playing Armello natively, Stardew Valley and Clannad in wine. Also found some time for Final Fantasy X on the PS4.

Sunday chat: What have you been playing, and what do you think?

I had to get Tomb Raider refunded because it just segfaults on my PC. :(

On Linux I've been playing Don't Starve Together, Stardew Valley and Clannad (those last two using wine).

On PS4 I've been playing Final Fantasy X and Fallout 4.

Sorry if this is covered in the podcast, but picking a Valve game for 'episode 3', conscious choice y/n? :P

I can't wait to play it natively and start earning some Steam achievements. I'm gonna continue borrowing my girlfriend's copy to play through wine until then though.

I definitely recommend picking it up. It's a wonderful game, with a very interesting story. It's very much a case of the candle twice as bright burns half as long though, so don't expect a 100 hour epic.

Poor show, Valve.

Here's hoping they get their shit together at some point.
