Valve announce over half a million Steam Controllers have been sold
4 Jun 2016 at 3:10 pm UTC

Quoting: CreakIt's really weird because the controller configurations are dedicated to Broforce, so it definitely seems to be a problem coming from my PC, but I really don't know why. Maybe Fedora 23 is just really bad at this? Maybe it's a problem with GNOME Shell?
I vaguely remember and unfortunately I didn't write it down anywhere apparently...
I had to do some modprobe to make the gamepad emulation work. "modprobe uinput" maybe?

Rocket League for Linux & SteamOS getting close to a release window finally
4 Jun 2016 at 2:17 pm UTC

Quoting: fagnerlnThis game has single player, and local coop. So, longevity isn't a problem.
I don't think single player is the heart of the game.
And local co-op, well, I could ask my wife, but...

So I guess if I'll play it, it's all about showing GOL how bad people in the country of the world football champion can play. ;)

I thought this would only be in conjunction with Civ VI - but it ssems to be independent!?!

Quoting: linuxgamerCrazy, never thought steam controllers will be on sale. They usually went with a game bundled for low, but 30% off is really nice (for those who don't one yet).
That made me decide to get one.
XCOM 2 it was back then.

Quoting: CreakI have one, but most of my games don't work with it (or work poorly).
For instance, Broforce just doesn't work (but Xbox360 pad does work).

Also, TF2 still displays the keyboard shortcuts although I have the SteamController plugged in. It isn't really easy to learn games this way.

Do you have the same problems?
Did you update the firmware and start the game from big picture mode?

Life Is Strange is coming to Linux & SteamOS by Feral Interactive

Quoting: ellieferalWe're bringing it to the Mac App Store first, which is why we've focussed the spotlight on them for now, but we will bring it to Linux too. It's awesome, we want you to have it.
Sure you do, but I want me to have it, too. :D

I agree to sorting the RAM by size.
I wonder if it will stay the only one, as screen resolution should be sorted by (screen) size as well, IMHO.
By the way, I would use ranges for screen resolution. I'm sure there are lots of esoteric resolutions our there, but IMHO, we don't need to know exact.
