"Not the most exciting of releases" - say what?! Day-1 buy for me!

Quoting: pbI wonder how many hours of training goes into playing as shown in the update trailer. I played for 18h and still play like a total noob.
18h? That's nothing in this game ;)
I know, thus I wonder.

The Humble Store is having a huge birthday sale, tons of stuff for insanely cheap

Quoting: buenaventuraGOG also has a big sale, I am tempted by Anodyne
I have Anodyne on Steam - it was fun while it worked, but I haven't been able to run it for the last two years (SteamOS, Debian, Arch...). No idea when exactly it stopped working or how to fix it - also don't know if the GOG version is also broken, but I think you can get a refund if the game doesn't work and they are not able to help you fix it.

[edit] From what I see, Anodyne on GOG does not list Linux as supported platform.

Games to play on Linux this Halloween, my top choices

Tomb Raider may not be particularly scary, but it's pretty gore, so it would fit I guess.

Ironically, Disney/Pixar games are nowhere near Linux.

Editorial: I ditched SteamOS in favour of a normal Linux distribution for my gaming

With that attitude, I'm surprised some of you guys even put up with Linux. ;-)

The Linux version of the Unity3D editor has been updated

Quoting: sarmadYup, very frustrating. My guess is that it's not a bug, it's that they are doing something fundamentally wrong and fixing it requires a big refactor of the code. My guess is that they have a loop for updating things in the background instead of depending on events.
Well I just found the fix, not entirely satisfying but my ears are grateful. I open the about window, resize it to minimum and shove it to the bottom right corner of the screen. It keeps the CPU calm and the fans quiet. :-)

The Linux version of the Unity3D editor has been updated

Quoting: sarmadI am using Unity Editor on Linux at work. It works, but with issues compared to the MacOS version (haven't tried the Windows version). The biggest annoyance is that it idles at 100% cpu usage! They know about this issue already but haven't fixed it yet. I am now downloading the new version to see if it resolves that issue.
Fast forward two months and the issue is still here... :-/
