Quoting: BeamboomWe're so used to blatant, hype-filled adverts masquerading as impartial reviews (or else pure hate-pieces for the giggles) that an informative, honest article is a rarity. And a headline that isn't clickbaity? What heresy is this?Quoting: liamdawe"Faeria, the rather good free to play turn-based card battler has a final release and now official Linux support"Carefully nuanced with "rather" to not overdo it, so british. And let's cram the entire article into the headline - that's classic Liam. Never change, dude. <3

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoThe Linux version of The Talos Principle is not a port of a Windows game; is an in-house developed Linux game and that should be the standard of Linux games...Croteam is a cool developer, but this is sadly not true. They've admitted that the graphics engine is designed around D3D, and other backends suffer as a result. They're working on a redesign and their new VR releases are likely to benefit from this work, but Talos is very much a Windows game they ported (in-house) to Linux.

Quoting: wolfyrionThese applications are open by default when the computer startsJust curious, is there any reason at all not to close most of these apps when you're not actually actively using them? You can easily install a single indicator to watch your mail boxes at least? And surely you don't listen to music while you watch netflix and play games? Your decision of course, I just don't understand why anyone would do this.

Quoting: GuestI don't know if this makes a difference, but HL2, the episodes and at least the first portal are actually DRM-free [External Link]. You need a steam account to download them, but they'll happily run without Steam.Quoting: RussianNeuroMancerHL2 was and still Steam-only ....Unfortunately. Else I'd for sure immediately buy it....

Quoting: gurvI'm terrible at racing sim but I think I could still enjoy driving and watching the scenery if the game doesn't force me to start over when I screw badly. (if it forces me to start over I would only be able to see the first 1/10th of the track ;))You're not likely to destroy the car if you drive slowly enough to enjoy the scenery. And while the game is hard, the damage model doesn't seem too punishingly realistic.
