Quoting: AlveKattI like to buy from the Humble Store though, because they give 5% to EFF. Are they better in this respect?
They are. They even list Feral Interactive as a publisher unlike Bundle Stars.

Rocket League gets Easter goodies and a new game mode in free update

Quoting: BeamboomI've not experienced any crashes as far as I can recall, btw. On Ubuntu 64bit/Nvidia latest.
The crashes do seem quite random and some people experience them more than others even on similar hardware, but AFAICT they happen almost exclusively in between matches. For me the only way to make the game crash during a match used to be to disconnect a usb controller, but I haven't tested that in a while.

Guys? This is a wine topic. I know this is a volatile subject around here and I appreciate the joke but isn't the spoiler thing just a bit unnecessary?

I played a few rounds after the update last night with a couple of fellow GOL users, and so far it seemed to at least perform better than before. Hard to say if the crashes have been fixed yet.

Dropshot was cool, but it's all about accuracy and control. Not for fumbling noobs like me.

Quoting: operaHope they will finally fix the annoying game crashes on Linux!
Based on your PC info, perhaps this is an Nvidia problem?
Nah. I've seen it crash on AMD, Nvidia and Intel. Must be something else.

Quoting: dubigrasuVulkan is with about 30 FPS faster than OpenGL, but eventually I switched back to OpenGL since vsync on Vulkan doesn't really work.
The current build of Talos is fine and tearless for me on Vulkan with Nvidia's full composition pipeline enabled and the in-game frame limiter set to 60. I didn't really miss vsync. Assuming SS Fusion runs on the same engine, does this not work for you?

Some thoughts on Hard West

Don't forget good old High Noon on the C-64. I loved the music, and the way the undertaker calmly drags downed outlaws into his establishment by their legs. And then there's Outlaws, starring the riding sheriff with the chin. Not to be confused with Outlaw the top-down shooter which I never played.

Vikings - Wolves of Midgard to have a Linux version after the initial Windows release

Quoting: PitWow! Indeed, if I use my computer in Spain to go to the page it also shows me 44.99->38.29€.
I wonder if this is on purpose (why?) or some sort of error....
It's just currency conversion, these days everyone pays the same price but converted to your currency so 38.29 in Spain is the same as 29.79 in the UK.
If you look at the screen grab with the lower price in Pit's earlier post, it clearly shows € (euro) as the currency, and he said he was in Sweden, not the UK. Converted to Swedish kronor the price would be 363.49 according to Google. Besides, 38.29 € is more like £33.20.

Quoting: PitStrange, I still see the 24€:
And I see 38.29 € down from 44.99 € in Finland. That's some major regional pricing.

I love the first two episodes to bits. Sure there are a few rough edges, but all that personality and charm makes them easy to forgive. Indie adventure gaming at its finest.

Bring it on!

Spoiler: I'm going to suck at this.
