Spiritfarer hits 500K sales with The Lily Update out, Thunder Lotus' most successful game
21 Apr 2021 at 1:56 pm UTC

Quoting: CatKillerFWIW, mine started keyboard-mousing at 2, with Qube - first just on my lap while we talked about the puzzles (there's some dialogue you'll probably want to mute) and then taking over himself a bit later. He's since (he's 5 now) done The Talos Principle, Qube 2, some of The Road To Gehenna (it's really hard!), Slime Rancher, and a bunch of other games that are listed in the "games for children" thread.
Ah, it seems I missed something good by not watching the forums!?!
This thread?

Quoting: CatKillerThere's just an amazing amount of awesome games around. It's a darn sight richer than the Granny's Garden that I grew up with.
If we're talking about a real garden, my wife's disagreement couldn't be stronger. :)

Quoting: CatKillerThey'll get a sale from me just as soon as my little one is old enough. I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm so much looking forward for my two little ones (3 yo) to become old enough for some (more) interesting games! :)

For now, they're playing their first game, Under Leaves:

I'd love it if they're (still) standing for good little games. :heart:

To be honest, I'm not sure becoming a publicly tradeable company on one's own is giving more independence than being a small part of Microsoft.

Metro Exodus for Linux to run better on AMD GPUs soon with a Mesa fix now merged

Quoting: johndoeMaybe I should write a little docu.
Docu is for sure something that Debian could learn from Arch. I often profit from the Arch wiki!

Make sure your NVIDIA drivers are up to date, new security issues detailed

Quoting: bOrviS7000I just got an update on Debian stable with back ports today too version Nvidia 460.67.
I have been using Debian Stable with NVIDIA drivers for 10+ years, but I'm thinking I may need to switch. Does any one have any comments on Arch over Debian?
I don't. :D ~23 years happy Debian here. Installed a Suse eons ago and have Ubuntu on my HTPC (VDR). Why do you think it's time to change for you?

Quoting: DebianUserI'm pretty familiar with Debian, but there is no rolling variant (it is possible to use testing but its seems to be radical, and testing does not receive updates during freezes).
I don't think using Testing for a while would be that radical.
It's quite some time ago I used it myself, some people say though it would be at least as stable as other distributions' releases. :D
You're right about the freeze, though.

I don't know anything about the technology, but is my feeling right that the game shouldn't be calling with layout_size=0 in the first place?

Check out the first teaser for the weird adventure The Season of the Warlock

Thanks for pointing that one out! Looks interesting!

Metro Exodus from 4A and Deep Silver has officially released for Linux

Quoting: RoosterTrue, but there are also Linux users who buy it despite not having time to play it, so it evens out a little bit.
That's what I did. Didn't yet find time to play the other Metros, either. Maybe I'll play the first one this weekend.
