Banished Linux port is pretty much complete, OpenGL performing well
30 Mar 2016 at 8:40 pm UTC

Quoting: Avehicle7887I like this guy, a brutally honest dev and likes to write in details. I can see he has taken many things into careful consideration such as OpenGL 3.2 and common Linux libraries which are found in most of today's distros.

10/10 I'm sold.
That sounds interesting, do you have some links you could share?

Human Resource Machine has an open beta for Linux

Quoting: fleskWorks without issues for me. The game is very similar to TIS-100, but much easier so far, and with the trademark Tomorrow Corp. storytelling. I'm enjoying it a lot.
That sounds great - all four of it (works, TIS, easier, Tomorrow Corp)! :D

Quoting: GuestTell me about it, I’ve been programming for nearly 30 years and I’m stuck on level 7 of TIS-100 :(.
:D
30 years of programming here as well. That included some assembler, which probably helped. I couldn't do the sorting algorithm, the last puzzle on the page, no matter how hard I tried. I might revist it these easter days, but I fear my brain is stuck on this one. X)
Want a hint for level 7? (sequence counter or edge detection?)

PAYDAY 2 on Linux & SteamOS, some thoughts & port report
24 Mar 2016 at 3:11 pm UTC

Quoting: PicoboomBeing known as a fair, non-raging, even helpful PD2 host has gotten me a lot of friend requests over the years for this very reason.

I've got a lot of hours on PD2, and have sorta accreted an informal list of pointers for new players. I'll offer some here hoping they'll help fellow Penguin Heisters joining missions online:
Thanks for your tips!
I'll try to think of them when I'm taking my first try. :)

Quoting: StianTheDark"I know I have a great GPU"

Damn Liam, back at it again with the bragging.
I really appreciated he was mentioning that!
How I hate (*) reading all that "It worked OKish on my double-Titan system - great port!" nonsense...! :D

Tomb Raider, the excellent 2013 game is officially coming to Linux from Feral Interactive
23 Mar 2016 at 6:47 pm UTC

Quoting: KimyrielleAwesome to see SE coming to Linux and porting major titles. SE is one of the very few major publishers I still was missing on Linux (Bethesda is the only other one I can think of right now.)
If I had to choose one publisher to support Linux, and all the others might or might not, it would probably be Bethesda.
(Mayyybe after Daedalic.)

Quoting: hidekinDoes it works if you remove the game from your library and buy the game again ?
You need to contact steam support to remove a game.
I really would go for gifting the game or buying DLCs instead.

Quoting: damarrinHmm, I already have this on Steam (caved in when it was released to try it in Wine). I wonder how I can give Feral some money...

How much icon grinding is it? I liked the first hours of Shadow of Mordor, but then, in felt more like work than like fun...

PAYDAY 2 now available on SteamOS & Linux, free to try for a few days
22 Mar 2016 at 7:40 am UTC

Quoting: RichieEBI really want to buy it on its sale but everything being digital and having 8-50kbps is just not worth downloading 1-15GB.
Genrally slow line or just having problems with Steam downloads?
There are possible workarounds for the later:
