Quoting: cprn
When was the last time you used Wine to play a Windows game? Over six months ago
Should I say "never" if it was over 5 years ago?
I'd say more than a year qualifies as "I never use it".

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTI didn't even know the strange Steam Controller is that popular.

Xbox 360? Okay, got it, seems like the standard PC controller even though I don't like it and use dual shock instead. But really, Steam Controller? I can't get used to that piece of hardware...
For most games, you can use it without even touching the touch pads (not for twin-stick shooters, obviously). I do like these, though, they gave me a better feeling for the mouse cursor in the first second than I ever had from any laptop touchpad.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionNot sure. I certainly can get by on a lot less. And I can't be the only one who doesn't completely enjoy dedicating so much space to a monolithic wind tunnel box gaming PC.
How would you be using the free(d) space under your desktop?

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionParticipating in this survey has a ratcheting effect on my choice in hardware. I feel as though I can never migrate to anything less powerful than what I have because it would harm the overall "score" of Linux gamer computer strength.
So, you would downgrade without it? :huh:

Quoting: jgacasJust buy them separately, sale percentage is same (without 20% bundle reduction).
Ah, cool! Is that always the case with Steam bundles?
Somehow takes the bundling away from the bundle, doesn't it? :)

Quoting: jgacasExplorer's Bundle [External Link]contains 3 really good Linux games on sale



Explore and enjoy!
... but you're also paying for three non-Linux games. Is it worth it? Is it even cheaper than buying the Linux games alone?

Quoting: KeyrockIt's also still amusing the amount of people that spell Vulkan wrong. Can't be helped though, with a name like that.
This will never happen to a German, due to Deutsche Gründlichkeit!
... or maybe because "Vulkan" is the German word for, well... a vulcan.

;)
