Steam Controller 2 is apparently a thing and being 'tooled for a mass production' plus a new VR controller

Quoting: InhaleOblivionI still have both the OG Steam controller and the slightly revised one they updated it to. Both still work though I only have one remaining bluetooth doggle that comes with it. Whenever they release the Steam Controller 2, it's a day 1 purchase for me again.
I'm not even aware of a revised Steam Controller? (I guess it's too many years ago. :D )

Once it's gone, it's gone. So if you're somehow still on the fence, now might be the best time to get one of the coolest-looking models.
Nothing, ever, is cooler than black.

(On third view: The background for Mr. Gleixner and Mr. Torvalds has been badly arranged. :D )

Quoting: a0kamiOnce again, shoutout to Valve team for bringing their games on Linux as early as 2013!
So Half-Life is on Linux for more than half of its life!?!

Old Skies from Wadjet Eye Games looks like one to remember with a new trailer

Quoting: emphy
Quoting: KlaasThis has been my biggest disappointment of the week. When I saw the start of the title, I thought that it was a release announcement. I've been waiting for the game for a long time. :unsure:
For me the biggest pleasant surprise; I hadn't noticed (or plainly forgotten) the original reveal. In fact, I managed to miss the existence of this dev entirely up to now :grin:
You're into point and click and missed Wadjet Eye?
1. How did you manage?!?
2. How I am envying you...! X)

I would buy any point and click from Wadjet Eye Games without any additional information, pictures, trailers, anything.

Supernatural comedy point-and-click adventure A Vampyre Story: A Bat's Tale announced

Quoting: PhlebiacI see Bill Tiller has reverted to Autumn Moon, I guess to match the original game. He did "Duke Grabowski [External Link]" as Venture Moon. I enjoyed it, but it must not have sold very well, as it doesn't have many reviews and now lists at $1.99 (it *was* on the short side).
To be honest, that tones down my exceptions a bit. While Duke Grabowski wasn't bad, it wasn't great either. (Of course worth the ridiculous low price though!)

Quoting: DesumThe original game was made in the open source Panda3D game engine. I wonder if the sequel will be too...
Tag of Joy seems to have used Unity for their last project, so my bet would be on this one.

I loved the first one (so many years ago), and was so happy to hear it being announced, natively, and with a developer involved that already has delivered something. Great news!

Blood On The Thames is a Victorian London murder mystery now available for Linux

Quoting: CatKiller
Quoting: robvvLooks quite appealing and has quite a unique art style. The Linux system requirements show 32GB RAM, whereas Windows requires '4 GB RAM MB RAM', whatever that is!
Even better, the requirements are "Memory: 32 GB RAM
Storage: 4 MB available space"

That's a hell of a lot of compression if the tiny 4 MB file can balloon up to 32 GB when you try to use it.
Zip bomb. :D
