GOL SteamOS & Linux Survey results for March 2016
25 Apr 2016 at 10:24 am UTC

Quoting: HamishI am actually kind of surprised by the amount of people with gamepads, but then I already knew that I was the odd one out for having barely ever used a console in my life, and pretty much never using one as a kid.

For me gaming has always been a keyboard and mouse affair.
I'm on the same boat, but I now bought a Xbox 360 controller for my wife to play Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime - and an additional Steam Controller due to curiosity and to have a gamepad for this game as well. I used the controller for Grid Autosport as well, and tried the SC on some games, but that's it. Still using mouse and keyboard for almost anything.

In Steam forums, somone complained about the download speed issue many people are still having (with the know workarounds) and asked if SteamOS has got the same problem. Anybody knows that?

18 Apr 2016 at 3:46 pm UTC

Quoting: chimpyIf I buy this through Steam does Feral get a smaller cut than if I would have bought it from the Feral store? And if so, does anyone know how much of a difference?
Valve might take 30%, so for sure there's left less for Feral if you buy on Steam.

I don't think they hate AMD. :-D

Saints Row 2 Linux port report, not good
15 Apr 2016 at 10:06 am UTC

Quoting: FredOIt looks like no Linux version of this and SR3 in Germany. Something about conveniently losing the source code or some such thing - just give us the US version gentlemen, and stop wasting time with these cut down versions ;-)
Both are shown as available to me (Gemany as well)?

BTW, no Mac version? :)

Quoting: stssIs the steam overlay even necessary anymore?
Steam Controller seems not to run properly without it.

13 Apr 2016 at 2:48 pm UTC

Quoting: KimyrielleAnd really, so far I haven't heard a reason to implement such a feature that I wouldn't immediately dismiss as completely and utterly stupid.
The reason quite obviously is to show male players(*) what discomfort female players(*) are facing most of the time.

We want (some) computer games to be seen as art?
Well then, art is not always comfortable.

(*) if they find this a concern at all
