Quoting: kuhpunktI would assume it's primarily for AR?Quoting: Hal_KadoThe cameras won't be for inside-out tracking, just for pass-through and maybe handtracking or something.
Dark sci-fi action RPG 'Hellpoint' looks good in the new trailer, still coming to Linux

I agree, the locations looks remarkably empty and sterile. Like how games looked back when computers weren't as capable as today. Looks like scenery for a stage play.
They probably are a very small team and have little design resources.

It's a pretty safe assumption that this will be the best choice of VR set for Linux gamers, both in the short and longer term. I really can't wait to hear more.

What do people use that overlay for, when gaming? For Steam chat? I just simply never enter that mode other than if someone happen to message me during a session...?

"Just shut the FUCK up and read the ingress and take it from there", is my answer to that nonsense. For heavens sake. It's just an ingress to a story. Nobody's forcing you to click on "read more".
And if we are to take this to a wider context: This is exactly how echo chambers are created. By "sparing" the viewer to see any content but what pleases them, they enter a chamber of that train of thought, and are never challenged on that. never questioned. Never nuanced. Only praised.
What if some of those DRM intolerant actually should read some of the information that came out of an article about Steam - or DRM, or whatever? What if it would have been good for them? What if someone who initially want to mentally block them out of anything that has to do with Wine and Steam Play actually would benefit, greatly, from being informed also on what goes on there, and what it does to Linux gaming as a whole. What if peoples opinions, and especially the more fanatic ones, would benefit from reading more that they disagree with, and not less? Could that contribute with nuances and perspectives? Would that ever be wrong?
Echo chambering opinions are never - NEVER - a good thing. Never. The only thing that differ is that on some areas it matters more than others. In this case: Not so much. But the principles remain.
And right now you probably think that I am a tool and have arguments against this. And that's totally fine. I probably should read them. Not have your comment filtered out because it is in disagreement with my world view.

Quoting: NezchanHard to imagine someone on Linux having such a hard time comprehending why someone would want more choices to customize their experience. But here we are."Customize their experience". We talk about ignoring an article we find less interesting. And even making a big issue about "how about stuff that's both featured on Steam AND is DRM free? Oh boohoo I don't want to SEE Steam in my stream, my eyes will hurt from it, but I DO want to see DRM free... What am I to do oh what oh what... Oh boohoo"

Oh wow. The sequel to one of my absolute favourite games EVER, and it's coming to Linux? That's so awesome it feels unreal.
I'll buy every single dlc out of sheer support - so bring them on, Paradox!
... Just DON'T screw up the core experience. We want everything that made the first so great, just in a modern coat. The classes, the dialogues, the modern gothic atmosphere, the downtown city, the night clubs, the darkness, the rpg gameplay, everything!
Can. Not. Wait!

I can't believe some have become so fragile that they actually feel the need to shield their eyes from articles they don't want to read. It's not enough to just scroll past it, oh no, their tender minds applaud a feature where they can avoid such monstrous provocations to ever reach their retinas.
For fucks sake.
For fucks sake.
No Man's Sky runs very nicely on Linux with Steam Play, huge online feature update and VR support coming

Quoting: LinasIis this really Linux gaming newsworthy? I personally don't think so, but I'd like to hear other options.For this Linux gamer; very much so. I'm mainly interested in the bigger releases, and without Steam Play those would be few and far between. Barely enough for a weekly blog post, even. So yes, knowing what titles works out of the box is really one of the more interesting news items for me personally, only beaten by news on big titles with native support.
The latest teaser for the open-world action adventure game 'Pine' has me needing more, coming to Linux

Sorry to be "that" guy, but please: How many litres of blood are in those things? Are they simply water balloons?
