BlazeRush is another completely awesome co-op game available for Linux

Quoting: Mohandevirin a friendly local co-op game, I prefer when everyone has a chance at all moments.
The survival mode is the most fair, because whoever died first is also put at the front of the others. King of the hill is very punishing, because the tiniest mistake can mean defeat. The race mode is plain annoying, because when you're leading by a large distance, you can't even see where you're going, and when you're trailing behind, you're constantly dragged along and quickly lose orientation.

Quoting: MohandevirThat kind of racer where no matter what you do, it's all decided in the last lap.
I actually hate the race mode exactly because of that, but king of the hill and especially survival are heaps of fun.

Quoting: Stoney_FishIt's moved to "VERY SOON" on the Feral radar.
For a moment there I thought LiS2 was going to be released before BtS, but it's BtS that you mean...

PS. Nice avatar, FF2 was one of the first games I tried with proton. ;-)

Quoting: scaineBuy a game, doesn't run in proton, leave a crap review, refund game.
If I understand correctly the way Steam is handling this stuff (I may be wrong), refunding a game after leaving a review for it (crap or not) will remove the review the same time the game is removed from your library (you can only leave review for games you own). :)
You can write the review and refund the game, and the review stays.

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyHave they (Valve Software) given any indication as to when they're hoping to make this available in the stable version of the Steam client for Linux-based operating systems? Or is this still a mystery?
My guess is before the next big sale, which should be around Halloween. If not that, then before the Winter Sale for sure.

Quoting: Lolo01I would like to try this beta version, but Steam is downloading again all the Windows games already installed...
Are you sure those are not 0b downloads? Because that's what happens to me with every (re)start of the steam client - suddenly I have a couple dozens of 0b "downloads" of the games installed with proton - I attribute it to behind-the-scenes configuration changes and maybe shader caches, but it sure is annoying.

Quoting: Alm888The biggest shot in the foot Microsoft® made was "DirectX™ 12 Windows™ 10 lock-in". :D
Maybe you are too young to remember how many times Microsoft shot itself in the foot. Here's a small list...
  • Windows Vista DRM

  • Windows 8 metro UI

  • Windows RT app incompatibility

  • Windows 10 NSAtc reporting

Eventually they will run out of feet and might shoot themselves in some more vital organs...
