Quoting: Guestanother game not on the list that was added was sam and max from telltale games.

Weren't the Sam & Max episodes whitelisted in the previous batch already?

Quoting: NeverthelessValve is not a corporation!

Their official name is "Valve Corporation", but they're not a corporation? What?

I don't get all these doomsday attitudes. We probably won't see any more games from these developers on our platform (which certainly makes me sad as a fan), but that's all this means. Giving up on gaming because of this is like giving up on movies because one of the directors you like stopped making them.

We're still getting a steady stream of great games on Linux. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

My muse has left me. No inspiration at all. But hey, I spent almost 5 minutes in Krita doodling a monster with a square head anyway. Because the game seems like my kind of brain torture.

Quoting: g000hGrabbed the bundle and... looks like GOL (deservedly) gets a nice chunk of the sum spent.

Since he got the affiliate thing going, I always crank Liam's share up a bit. I also drop the shares of any games I'm not going to play or gift to friends, and wouldn't have paid for anyway.

Quoting: GuestDon’t listen to anyone saying that Dirt Rally is better with a gamepad, it’s not true. It requires the precision of a wheel. I don’t have a wheel and only the first car (the Mini) is playable because it is slow enough and FWD.

As I said in an earlier comment, it's definitely not better with a gamepad, but it's perfectly playable. Dirt Rally is simply a challenging game and takes a lot of practice. I've never owned a wheel either, but after 387 hours of gameplay I'm still having fun with it.

The old Mini is the slowest and easiest car in the game, but after a while you'll also find it's the most boring. Not much fun in just flooring the gas and pointing the car in the right direction, which is what you'll be doing on most stages.

I do like a good arcade racer as well, but it's a whole different type of fun.

Quoting: RedneckContrary to this popular belief, Dirt Rally is actually easier with a controller. The wheel (while more precise) is way more challenging than a gamepad and I've beated quite a few players who used the wheel, both in DR and Grid Autosport.

It's rare to see any top-ten times in any of the Dirt Rally online events that were not done with a wheel, as proven by the leaderboards [External Link]. You can be good with a gamepad, but a proper wheel and pedals do give you an edge if you've got the skill. But I do agree that a wheel isn't required to enjoy the game, and a better controller doesn't make you into a better driver.

Definitely more like Showdown according to reviews. This is not a simulator. About the same amount of content as SD as well (10-15 hours to 100%), for the rather hefty price tag of 50€ + DLC.

Could be a decent arcade racer. Reviews aren't great but they're good enough. I wouldn't mind giving it a go.

Quoting: Dunc(For what that's worth. I still can't get The Flame in the Flood to run at a decent framerate under Proton, even though it was the first game I ever tried with DXVK - being the most recent Windows game I owned at the time - and it was perfect. Don't know what's going on there.)

It's an UE4 game so it might be the nvapi problem. If it is, you can work around it by spoofing an AMD gpu. These [External Link] are the first instructions I could find. Might be worth a shot.
