Quoting: hiryuMy 1st laptop, I bought while I was a starving student in 2005.
Thanks for sharing your story!

I played low settings 1920x1080 and mostly between 20-30fps.

Maybe lowering the resolution could help?

Wednesday Madness, a few good Linux gaming deals going on

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: wojtek88Bundle Stars sales windows keys only. So guys above did not support Linux gaming at all.
To be clear this only affects external porters. For all normal developers it shouldn't matter.
I disagree. While the money gets to the same persons, some day some manager inevitably will ask:
"I heard we are supporting this 'Linus' thing?! Is it worth it or can we cancel that for the next game!?"

Give To The Moon a try if you want to feel sad, and SOMA if you, well... want to feel sad and very alone.
No, seriously: Both are great games.

Quoting: PackRatThe day i heard this news i installed windows 10 the same day. Wow so this is what unreal market place looks like! VisualStudio already setup! No more compiling unreal engine 4 and setup codelite accessor.Valve created SteamOS as a response to the windows store. The Universal Windows Platform does not require $5000 to develop windows games and xbox games .Linux what a waste of time...
Just read the same on Steam [External Link], how often are you posting it?

And who wants 5000$ from you?

Brian Fargo confirms Torment: Tides of Numenera will launch for Linux day-1

Quoting: EikeWhere am I supposed to take all the time to play Tides of Numenera, Wasteland 3, Divnity Original Sin 2, Bard's Tale IV and Pillars of Eternity 2?!?
Well, to begin with, they're not all coming out at the same time, you should have plenty of time to finish TToN before the other games come out. Second, D:OS2 has not been confirmed for Linux. Even if it does come to Linux, given how long it took the first game to make its way over to the penguin, you may be waiting a few years.
I didn't even get to Shadowrun Hong Kong, Pillars of Eternity Whity March and Tyranny yet, and wonder if I should play more of Divinity Original Sin (or give up on it)...
I don't find enough time, there's so much else to play (Infinifactory, 70 hours at the moment X) ), and when I've played one big roleplaying game, I don't like just plunging directly into the next one. I guess I'll need to pass over some of them.

The 'Humble Freedom Bundle' is huge and well worth picking up

Quoting: GuestI'm not here to research for you, you are not that important.
If you feel what you want to say is not even worth your own time, who am I to object? Just don't expect others to find it worth their time then...

Bye bye

Hyper Sentinel, a throwback to old-school arcade action is seeking funding on Kickstarter
15 Feb 2017 at 2:28 pm UTC

Quoting: rustybroomhandleIt's weird they don't mention Uridium, since that's exactly the game their throwback is throwing back to. I just fired up Uridium again the other day for a spin, and daaang it's smooth.
It was the definition of smoothness to us back then!
