Quoting: AryvandaarI've been playing Pillars of Eternity The White March. It's quite fun, and I really like the new companions in the DLC. I have yet to finish Pillars of Eternity, and I have logged over 100 hours but I'm the kind of guy who play RPG as a competitionist, if the content is good of course.
I'm surprised that you play White March before finishing the main line. How does the DLC integrate?

Quoting: harfieldAnd what about performance ? The game looks very GPU and CPU demanding, do you guys think a GTX750ti + a quad xeon CPU at 3.0ghz and 16gb ram could handle it?
The game takes a stutter sometimes on even better systems, but as you are between minimum and recommended, you could give it a go.

Quoting: wolfyrionI have a Laptop 5-7 years old with an i5 and an NVIDIA 525M so I cant play any descent games.

(I think I should make a request to Liam to create a list for games that crappy computers can play)
There's still this list full of small and big games:

How about Limbo e.g.?

Feral Interactive have pushed another patch to Mesa to help fix up the 'radv' Vulkan driver

Quoting: dmantioneI disagree. Downloading and compiling your own Mesa, patching your AMDGPU driver, I have done it all to play some of their games, is not a good user experience and not the user experience a game developer should aim for their customers. This is the user experience that Feral gives their AMD user at the moment, and yes, at this point it becomes their problem, because it is not a motivator to buy their games.
What do expect?!? They are even improving the drivers for the users, which is not their job at all. It's not their fault - but the manufacturer's - that the drivers are not at a better level!

Did we already hear apologies from everybody that said that Feral doesn't do anything for supporting AMD?

Quoting: EikeAlready loved it when I heard the title music (again). :)
That title theme is amazing. Before I got the soundtrack I'd start the game and let it on the title screen just to listen to it. ;)
Same here! :D
Started the game in the morning just to listen to some good music when getting ready for work. :)

That questions comes in handy. :)

I've been playing through Infinifactory [External Link], where you create transportation and welding mechanisms to build and deliver... things. It's a strange game. I didn't find it very stringent, it's not delivering new mechanisms and using them in an intelligent way. Still, I played through it, taking 80 hours. It's just satisfying: build machines, see them fail over and over again, until it all fits together... just to be confronted with another, even more complicated task. In the end, it got too complicated, but I didn't want to give up before finally... well, go see yourself. :)

80 hours, that's place 5 in my personal charts, after Frozen Synapse, XCOM, Skyrim and Wasteland 2.

Quoting: chepatiFor some reason I get no sound output. In Settings/Audio I get NOSOUND under Driver (quoting from memory). For the life of me I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Have all the pulseaudio 32bit libraries too.

However, I got a few games where sound doesn't work: Book of Unwritten Tales 2, Don't Starve, etc.

Must be a simple thing I'm overlooking...
All three games you mentioned are working for me with PulseAudio.
