Welp, if I wasn't a fan of GOG already, I'd sure be one now.

"Shortly after release."

*11 months later*

Still no Linux release, eh?

I've got the game on GOG and I was thinking of picking it up on Steam. Now I'm happy I haven't done so, and I've removed it from my wishlist.

Quoting: scaineAll that "linux is so hard to test against" bullshit really rubs me the wrong way. It is, in fact, a much simpler prospect than Windows - one supported O/S, three graphics drivers.

Actually 5 graphics drivers (Intel Open Source Awesomeness, AMD OSA, AMD Proprietary Garbage, Nvidia OSA, Nvidia PG).

But unless there's a difference in the input stack between Ubuntu MATE and OpenSUSE TW, it's weird that Liam has keyboard glitches. It could be the difference between using libinput and evdev? All I know is that I don't have any issues (and the latest patch doesn't seem to have introduced any).

I've heard good things about the Solus project, as they've apparently done a bunch of customizations for their version of the Steam launcher/runtime/whatever.

I haven't tested it out myself, though, as gaming is not very high up my list of things to do on a PC.

That's so weird, I didn't have even a single issue with either input or graphics... Although I haven't played the game with the new patch yet, so I'll give it a look.

Welp, that's the issue with Linux, I guess: ten different users will have ten different experiences.

Speaking of Ico and Ghibli, how about The Girl and The Robot, eh?

Quoting: ShmerlWhat do you think about the endings? I like the game, but it feels they didn't work on the endings enough. Feels they were cut short of thoroughly explaining what happened.

I'll let you know when I get there. So far though, I've been thinking that I'll need to play through again, because I keep feeling like I missed something. As though I skipped over a dialogue that had some background info I need.

Dex: Amazing atmosphere, decent writing, pretty good game feel. Kinda reminds me of the old SNES Shadowrun game.

XCOM: Enemy Within: This game is broken. I've tried both under OpenSUSE TW and under Mint 18; whenever I finish my first mission (I'm not doing the tutorial) it crashes when I return to base. I installed Windows 10 on an older PC I have and it worked fine on there, so I just imported that save and continued under TW (and about a dozen missions later I'm not getting any crashes). I've let Feral know, so we'll see.
Apart from that, it's as much fun as always.
