Quoting: rkfgDXVK has a "fundamental flaw" and that is the language it's written in. Wine doesn't accept C++ code, unfortunately.

Now I wondered what they're using.
Pure C?!?

Quoting: KorsI would love to buy many steam controllers, sadly they are too expensive to import here in Brasil.

You're "lucky", they're out of stock forever now...

Hopefully they'll make a version 2.0.

Quoting: AkienIt seems like your edit didn't go through, the page doesn't show it for me at https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Hidden_Linux_ports_on_Steam and says "last modified on 6 November 2019".

I guess I didn't see the anti-spam question. Now it's there. Thanks!

Quoting: TuxeeI never thought that the lack of games was the culprit. It has always been that Windows comes preinstalled. Seriously, why should anyone swap a more or less working OS he or she is used to for an OS which is unfamiliar, requires work (after all you have to install it), and might not run all the games and applications you are accustomed to? Arguments like privacy ("I got nothing to hide... besides they are all the same", security ("I got a good antivirus"), easy updates ("I prefer my downloads from webpages the way I do since 1998") are moot for most people.

Think of it the other way around: Linux comes preinstalled, but if you buy Windows for some bucks (from a shady source), you can play way more games, especially the big ones. Don't you think people would...?

Quoting: TheRiddickHey I was just saying, don't act like Linux is all roses and daffodils, it has a mountain of issues that need to be addressed before we see those steam statistics budge significantly in a positive way.

People need a real motivation to switch to Linux, to learn something new and to cope with its limitations, including the games not playable. For some, this might be the end of Windows 7 and avoidance of Windows 10, but I don't see a big wave coming here either.

Quoting: TheRiddickTry getting VRR working without odd blinking or other issues, can't.

I wonder about this. I bought a new GPU (Nvidia) and consider getting a VRR compatible monitor.
Can anybody comment on VRR working great / working not so great on Linux with a single monitor?

Linux is no good for most gamers...

Quoting: TheRiddickor do you want to get politically and start smelling your own farts?

... but as long as your not able to discuss this like an adult, I'm not going to discuss this with you.
This is not reddit, and I want it to stay that way.

Quoting: TheRiddickJust keep in mind, if you think MSGS/EGS/GOG-Galaxy not working for Linux is a non-issue, then you ARE NOT A GAMER.

This is a terrible take. If a person only ever plays 3 games from Kongregate, they are still a gamer.

... plus I've got literally thousand of games available from e.g. Steam. If only a person who falls for each and every store could be a gamer, I'd be a happy non-gamer.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyFrankly, those books were a pretty lame gimmick anyway. Or rather . . . it was innovative, kind of, but the whole concept just didn't work well with print. You're looking at a small paperback to start with, and once you've not only divided it up into a bunch of branching storylines and included the directions and whitespace you need for it to be comprehensible, each "story" is bloody tiny. Plus you spend the whole time flipping back and forth. Works way better on computers, and I say that as a lover of print books.

Of course at the time it was basically an attempt to recreate some of the ideas behind paper and pencil roleplaying games, except as something you could do alone. It pretty much failed; even to this day, the most amazing computer game still can't be that much like having a real human game master. But I guess it was better than nothing.

I guess it depends on where you've been coming from. For me, young and with no idea something like pen & paper exists, it was pretty exciting!

I'm happy this dark episodic adventure made it to the end!
(Yes, I'm looking at you, Kentucky Route Zero and Dead Synchronicity...)
Will soon start to play it.
