Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: orochi_kyoNext news: Lore Finders devs ditch Linux version because "too many flavors" and "shaders on OPENGL". Just a reminder, ask devs about flavors before giving crowdfunding money.

Getting in too much of a rant for my taste for a general remark not specially targeted at him/her.

Greetings to the ranting dev, I appreciate you're supporting Linux!

The Steam Autumn Sale is live, with some epic deals going

Quoting: ziabiceBig question: the Steam Controller is on sale too, I never used a gamepad in my life and a lot of games I own needs one, should I buy it or the Logitech F310? I want a plug'n'play experience with Steam, Proton and/or Wine, and Gog.

Thanks in advance for the advices! ;)
What seems often to be forgotten about the Steam Controller is that you don't need to use the touchpads for most games supporting controllers. But they are handy if you want to play some mouse and keyboard games on the couch.

I fear they'll get their share of hate. With that and Proton... wonder what will happen to VP's Linux work.

Quoting: MasterSleortI get that, but none of you actually answered the question in mind. Just because very few games use it doesn't mean that Shadow of the Tomb Raider wont as well. It's simply not an exhaustive answer. Now if you know it from a Feral employee or a tool enlighten me, or played the game using Proton/wine without any issues (and without the extension of course available in driver), then that might be a good indicator that it is not used.
He's from Feral (see Twitter account linked in Profile):

Quoting: MasterSleortWonder if Feral will make use of stream-output / transform feedback on Vulkan?
Never needed it.
By the way, where is Edwin_Feral or what was his name again....?

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire - The Forgotten Sanctum is due out December 13th, the last planned DLC

Quoting: Stupendous ManMaybe now they will release the full package with all DLCs so I can get it before they fall into the black hole that is Microsoft.
I also bought it before Winter Is Coming, but only the basic pack.
I think Obsidian Edition is what you'd be looking for.

Quoting: KeyrockI recognize that the reboot games are well made games, they're just not what I was looking for from the series. Shadow seems to be the closest the reboots have come to being like the old games.
Though old enough (by far), I had the advantage of never having playing any Tomb Raider before. On its own, the reboot was quite a good game.
