I thought David AMD would wake up Goliath Intel, but it seems they've been hit too hard by the little stone. ;)

It is funded with 43.000 of 39.000$ now, with two days to go.
49.000 would be full voicing like in the demo,
which, I'm just saying, runs very well on Linux...

Quoting: DuncI find it incredible that we're still using digital controls for movement in the 21st Century, and that “gaming keyboards” are even a thing. Before the rise of the FPS, the keyboard was the last resort when your joystick broke.

Never thought of this, but I cannot find the flaw. :) While a mouse is superior to probably any controller I've seen, the keyboard obviously isn't. You might need lots of keys on anything that should replace it, though.

Quoting: LinasInterestingly enough, I once had a chat with an actual trucker who tried getting into Euro Truck Simulator 2, and it made him feel in a similar way. I guess just because you love your work, it doesn't mean that you want more "work" when you play a game.

I read a report about these simulation games (some are incredibly successful, AFAIR, farming simulator has sold more copies than GTA V in the year the latter came out) and they are often played by people working in the simulated job. It might be a different thing for farmers than programmes, they can drive fancy vehicles they'll never get a hand on in real life.

Maybe give the demo a try. It is disturbing, but nothing like Amnesia or the like...

Quoting: subI'm standing. Always.
Tbh, so far I have not crossed a game that supports seated playing.
Which ones are you using?

I think the trick is that the game assumes you're standing...

They've now announced that Community Recommendations has officially shipped as part of Steam, giving you ideas to play based on recent reviews. I was told by Valve press on this, that it should be getting patched to respect your Platform Preferences (bottom here) to only show games from operating systems ticked.

I just tried it and I had only recommendations that actually are available for Linux.

Quoting: Patola[If you were convinced by this example, I would say that: never use the limits of your own imagination as an argument or a point.

He didn't though, he actually literally asked: "how much would Stellaris or Civilization or whatnot get from going VR?"
